We start with a Tornado threat looming across the central U.S. on Monday. The CDC is deploying to Uganda, to help contain an Ebola outbreak. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is set to campaign for a Trump-backed challenger to Rep. Massie of Kentucky. Then, pilots safely eject as fighter jets crash at an air show. Plus, the Washington Nationals gets a future service dog named “Natty” as their new mascot. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
