This week, we begin looking ahead to the midterms in a serious way. Are Republicans blowing it? The Senate is looking bad, and even the big House win that the GOP expected seems to be fading -- if polls are to be believed.
On the other hand, Republican voters are energized by the Mar-a-Lago raid fiasco. This coming week, the DOJ will have to figure out which parts of the affidavit it wants to redact -- and the public may learn some of what was in it.
We'll talk about the future of CNN, after the sacking of Brian Stelter and the cancelation of Reliable Sources, one of the most ironic names for any show on television. Plus we'll consider the media's portrayal of Liz Cheney as a heroine.
We'll chat with Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) about the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act," and its consequences. We'll also talk about the upcoming NFL season, and whether the league can be rescued from its wokeness -- or the latest scandal over Deshaun Watson. And with kids going back to school, we'll discuss a proposal by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to use retired police to fill in the gaps.
Guests:
Mark Mitchell -- of Rasmussen polling, on the upcoming midterm elections
Dylan Gwinn -- sports editor of Breitbart News, on the NFL season
Tim Graham -- of Media Research Center, on CNN and Liz Cheney
Michael Letts -- of InVest USA, to discuss retired police as teachers
Rep. Jim Banks (R-OH) -- on the "Inflation Reduction Act" and the economy

This week's Torah portion includes several laws about conduct in civic and personal life, the common theme of which is boundaries -- setting bounds to what one may do at home, at work, and even in the battlefield.
One noteworthy passage concerns Amalek, the evil nation that attacked the Children of Israel as they made their Exodus from slavery to freedom. Deuteronomy 25:17-19 commands Jews to obliterate Amalek's memory.
The South African government accused Israel of genocide on the basis of a story about Amalek in the Book of Samuel, in which King Saul was commanded to wipe out the entire evil Amalekite nation.
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 ...
