Head to usbank.com and let's kick this season off, right? That's the power of us. Remember FDIC, copyright 2026, US Bank. Alright everybody, between daily podcast recordings, managing Mo News, workouts, life with a newborn and a toddler, I have learned that drinking water isn't always enough. When I'm dragging, dealing with brain fog or feel a headache coming on, sometimes what I really need is electrolytes. That is why we have partnered for a long time with Element Electrolyte Powder. Each pack delivers a meaningful dose of electrolytes with zero sugar, no artificial colors, and none of the dodgy ingredients found in many popular sports drinks. My go-to flavors are lemonade and grapefruit salt, though they have a whole variety available for all of you. Right now, Mo News listeners can get a free eight-count sample pack of Element's most popular drink mix flavors, so you can figure out which one is your favorite. They also have a flavorless pack, by the way. You can find that all over at drinklmnt.com/monews, drinklmnt.com/monews, drinklmnt.com/monews.
We've heard from so many of you who have made this a regular part of your life. Let us know about your Element experience and your favorite flavor. This will change the way you think about hydration. Again, go out and get that special Mo News deal over at drinklmnt.com/monews.

And Mosheh, you mentioned we have a few special podcasts coming out marking the 25th anniversary of September 11th, which is one week from today, next Friday. Mosheh, I know you interviewed Mike Morell, and that interview is out now for premium members.

**Mosheh Oinounou** (3:15)
Yeah, the former acting CIA director, he happened to be the intelligence griefer for Bush on 9-11, recounts conversations he was having with the president at that time and what happened in the weeks and months later. Also, why we missed the attacks, what was going on with the Clinton administration in its final years, as well as the Bush administration. And he also happened to be the number two at the CIA on the day we got bin Laden. So he describes what was happening inside the Situation Room with President Obama. Fascinating conversation out right now for premium members first. And we have some more conversations coming up next week, Jill. I know you just got done with a couple of them.

**Jill Wagner** (3:48)
Yeah, so I spoke to John Field. He was a 9-11 responder who was injured at Ground Zero. He actually lost half a foot when a beam fell on his foot. And the government would not pay for his health care because the injury didn't happen within a certain time after the attacks.
