Two Years Since Oct. 7: A Hostage’s Story; Shutdown Showdown: The 2025 Election Stakes

We mark two years since the morning of Oct. 7, a day that changed Israel, Gaza and global politics forever. We’ll revisit those harrowing hours when Hamas militants stormed across the border and took hundreds of hostages, and hear from one of them: Keith Siegel, who spent nearly 500 days in captivity, joins host Yasmin Vossoughian. And we dig into how the government shutdown could tilt the balance in the November elections. NBC News data analyst Steve Kornacki joins the pod to explain who stands to lose (or gain) politically in some key races. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
