We'll kick off the first winter show with a VERY special interview with Republican truck driver Edward Durr, fresh from his stunning victory over the Democrat State Senate President -- who still refuses to concede. We'll talk about what the off-year election results mean for politics going forward.
We'll also review the weekend conference of the Republican Jewish Coalition, and talk about the infrastructure bill, which Biden is sure to sign soon. We'll also talk about Veterans Day, and what it means in the aftermath of Afghanistan.
Special guests (so far):
Edward Durr -- the truck driver himself!
Megan Barth -- new editor-in-chief of the Nevada Globe (www.thenevadaglobe.com)
Scott Presler -- the conservative leading Republican voter registration efforts

Because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quoted this week's portion -- "Remember what Amalek did to you" (25:17), the South African government claimed he was commanding soldiers to commit genocide.
It was an absurd and malevolent misreading of the Bible and of Jewish tradition. The commandment, as observed by Jews today, is to remember the evil of Amalek and fight ...
