Got it - this is what I saw:
According to NewsNation’s coverage, the September 23, 2026 edition of On Balance with Leland Vittert included a segment titled “War Notes” in which Liberty Vittert Capito, a data scientist and Leland’s sister, contributed an analysis on a recent opioid-related case. The discussion centered on her earlier investigative piece, “I bought an opioid at the gas station, and it was legal. That’s a problem,” and on the dangers of kratom, which was being sold at gas stations and linked to two Ole Miss student deaths.
Liberty’s participation was tied to the show’s broader “War Notes” feature, which also included guest Sage Steele, who has a child at Ole Miss, to discuss the data behind the incidents. The segment framed the kratom issue as a public safety concern rather than a partisan one, and Liberty’s role was to provide the data and context for the conversation.
This will help explain what I messed up by not remembering...
