Jen Psaki explains why Trump's increasingly unhinged behavior reveals that he is running scared as Kamala Harris continues to gain momentum with voters. James Carville and Rev. Al Sharpton join Jen to reflect on the state of the race, including Harris's veepstakes and Donald Trump backing out of a presidential debate that he already agreed to. Next, Jen fact-checks JD Vance and the GOP's pro-family agenda with a reminder for voters to "watch what they do, not what they say." Rep. Elissa Slotkin joins Jen to discuss a variety of topics, including Trump's pro-Putin comments at a recent rally, her Senate race in Michigan, and more. Later, Jen is joined by The Bulwark publisher Sarah Longwell to reflect on Harris's search for a running mate based on her latest focus groups with swing-state voters. Jen also breaks down how the negotiations came together in the deal that allowed Evan Gershkovich and three other Americans to return home from prison in Russia, describing it as one of the "good days" in diplomacy. Finally, Jen is joined by Bob Bauer, Joe Biden's personal attorney, to discuss his new book, 'The Unraveling: Reflections on Politics without Ethics and Democracy in Crisis.'

Wild Cards

Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
