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

The story of Noah is familiar; the details, less so.
Noah is often seen as an ambivalent figure. He was righteous -- but only for his generation. What was his deficiency?
One answer suggests itself: knowing that the world was about to be flooded, he built an Ark for the animals and for his own family -- but did not try to save anyone else or to convince them to repent and change their ways (the prophet Jonah, later, would share that reluctance).
Abraham, later, would set himself apart by arguing with God -- with the Lord Himself! -- against the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, saying that they should be saved if there were enough righteous people to be found (there were not).
Still, Noah was good enough -- and sometimes, that really is sufficient to save the world. We don't need heroes every time -- just ordinary decency.
Hi all -- as I noted last month, I'm going to be closing down my Locals page, at least for tips and subscriptions -- I may keep the page up and the posts as well, but I'm no longer going to be accepting any kind of payment.
Look for cancelation in the very near future. Thank you for your support!
An interesting weekend -- one of the last of Daylight Savings Time -- in which there is much to celebrate, much to contemplate, and a bit to worry about.
The Gaza peace deal is shaky, but holding, after the living hostages returned; the shutdown is still going on, with no end in sight; the China trade war is heating up; and the confrontation with Venezuela continues to escalate.
The "No Kings" protest was a dud, despite the media's attempt to inflate it. What I find fascinating is that the Democrats have basically stolen the rhetoric and the imagery of the Tea Party protests, circa 2009. They claim they are defending the Constitution -- just like the Tea Party did.
On the one hand, this is good. How wonderful to have a political system in which both sides, bitterly opposed though they are, articulate differences through the Constitution -- and not, as in so many other countries, outside it.
On the other, this is sheer hypocrisy for the Democrats. Not only did they malign the Tea Party as ...
