Then, author and war correspondent Lynne O’Donnell shares the story of Afghan combat pilots who fought alongside U.S. forces and are now driving Ubers in Arizona due to government red tape. Finally, financial expert Gary Gygi, president of Gygi Capital Management, explains what’s behind recent market swings and how smart investors navigated the chaos. Plus, don’t miss Kiley’s Corner for an update on the Team Canada sexual assault case, and tune in to hear the story of the aggressive mockingbird that’s made a home in her yard. It’s an episode you won’t want to miss!
