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

This week’s portion tells the grand story of the prophet who tried to curse people of Israel and instead ended up blessing them.
I am reminded that these portions continue to be relevant anew, as this particular reading lent the title for Israel’s recent 12 Day War against Iran, “Operation Rising Lion.”
This week's portion includes the commandment of the red heifer -- one of the classic "irrational" commandments whose fulfillment is an expression of faith. It also includes the regrettable episode in which Moses strikes the rock.
I referred to this story in a wedding speech last night. Why was Moses punished for striking the rock in Numbers, when he struck the rock without incident in Exodus -- both for the purpose of providing water to the people?
The answer is that in the interim, the Jewish people had received the Torah, which is like the marriage contract between the people of Israel and God. In a marriage, you do not resolve things by breaking boundaries, but through love.
The additional reading, from Judges Chapter 11, is the story of Jephthah (Yiftach), a man whom the leaders spurn, but to whom they must turn to save the nation. The parallels to our present political circumstances are striking.
Shabbat Shalom and Happy Fourth of July!
