It's the final show before Election Day, and we're going to enjoy it. I love the feel of election season -- the crispness in the air, the early darkness setting in, the end of Daylight Savings Time, which raises the curtain on political drama.
Nature is playing a role, as it always does. In 2020, on the eve of Election Day, the midwestern skies were lit up with a reddish glow, the result of a rare weather phenomenon. Trump lost, but Republicans beat polls nationwide.
This time, the moon will set on the morning of Election Day in the redness of a lunar eclipse. It is the perfect way to herald a possible red wave -- or even a red tsunami, as polls (if you can believe them) shift in the Republicans' direction.
Our show will focus on the Breitbart News angle to all of this -- with one exception: we will welcome Alaska U.S. Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka, the official Republican nominee against incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R).
We'll talk about all the factors that have defined the midterm election, what will define the government that results, and what will shape the future, as politicians are already jockeying for positions in Congress and the 2024 presidential race.
Guests:
Emma-Jo Morris - Breitbart News politics editor -- on the midterm picture
John Carney - Breitbart News financial editor -- on the economic factors
John Binder - Breitbart News immigration reporter -- on the border crisis
Colin Madine - Breitbart News tech editor -- on the social media environment
Jerome Hudson - Breitbart News entertainment editor -- on the culture war
Ken Klukowski - Breitbart News legal editor -- on the big constitutional issues
Kelly Tshibaka - Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Alaska

I should have noted in my message about the weekly Torah portion that this week is Shabbat Chazon, the Sabbath of Vision. We are about to mourn -- but see through that pain to something better that lies beyond, on the other side.
Wishing you the best vision -- and an incredible reality to follow. It happens!
We begin the final speech of Moses to the people of Israel before they enter the Promised Land. He relates the ups and downs of the years of wandering in the desert, before, finally, the people have the merit to enter the land itself.
This Sabbath always precedes Tisha B'Av, the Ninth of Av, the saddest day on the Jewish calendar. It is the anniversary of the destruction of both of the Holy Temples, and a catch-all for many calamities that befell the Jewish people.
A word on Tisha B'Av. This year I am leaving for an overseas trip during the afternoon of the holiday -- in the middle of a fast day. Not idea, but there was no other choice. But my flight is in the afternoon, which is significant.
We relax some of the harsh, mournful customs of the day in the afternoon. We start to pray normally; we sit on regular chairs; we start to have hope again in the redemption that will, one day, lead us all back from exile to our home.
I'll be taking a trip to a land where an important part of ...
President Trump is in Scotland, playing golf and making big trade deals -- a major deal with the EU, in fact. Meanwhile, there is a global outcry about humanitarian aid to Palestinians (not about the Israeli hostages, mind you).
On top of that, Democrats are at their lowest polling numbers ever -- so they are trying to win control of the House by redistricting in the middle of a 10-year Census cycle. Oh, economic optimism is up, so they have a tough road.
And Tulsi Gabbard's revelations about the Russia collusion investigation make it clear that Obama's lieutenants lied to Congress. How deeply was he himself involved? The media continue to ignore the evidence, but we certainly won't.
Special guests:
Nick Gilbertson - Breitbart News White House correspondent, on EU deal
Frances Martel - Breitbart News foreign editor, on Trump abroad and Russia
John Spencer - urban warfare expert, on humanitarian aid and war in Gaza
Bradley Jaye - Breitbart News congressional correspondent, on the ...
