It's Wednesday, November 27th.
I'm Jane Costen, and this is Water Day, the show that is not feeling very bad for former New York City mayor and Trump lackey Rudy Giuliani, who revealed to a judge on Tuesday that he is totally broke and definitely couldn't hand over more of his assets to the two election workers he defamed.
As he told US District Judge Lewis Lindman, I don't have a car.
I don't have a credit card.
I don't have cash.
Sad.
On today's show, some good, good news in Lebanon and a conversation about how to have a conversation about politics at Thanksgiving.
If you want to, let's get into it.
Tomorrow's Thanksgiving Day in the United States, and many of us will be celebrating with full tables.
But for millions of Americans, food insecurity is a daily problem year round.
According to the USDA, roughly 14% of American households dealt with food insecurity at some point during 2023.
That means that they didn't know where their next meal was coming from or whether they could afford to feed everyone in their home.
That's about 18 million households, homes that probably look very similar to yours.
One person who cares a lot about this issue is Stacey Abrams.
You know Stacey, she's a politician, voting rights activist, and host of Crooked Media's podcast, Assembly Required.
Stacy has spent years talking about how food insecurity impacts communities of all kinds and what we can do about it.
She recently chatted with celebrity chef and food activist Tom Colicchio for her show, and we got to discuss what she's learned about food insecurity, why she's passionate about the issue, and what we can do about it every single day of the year.
Stacy, welcome to what a Day.
Thank you for having me.
So you've talked about how food insecurity is an issue that's near and dear to your heart.
