This is it! The last show before the election -- though we may be sifting through the results for several weeks and several episodes. My final prediction: Trump will win (wow), though it may be very close and Kamala Harris could still do it.
We will kick things off with an interview with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., followed by a full tour through the spectrum of Breitbart News opinions and analyses. You might be surprised by some of the views. True diversity of opinion here!
This is going to be a very special episode, a bit sentimental, and perhaps even a bit argumentative. And the best part of it is that you can participate as well.
The last show before the election! Feels like a milestone. Join us!
Special guests:
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - independent presidential candidate, backing Trump
- Rebecca Mansour - senior editor-at-large, on the Arab vote in Michigan
- Paul Bois - staff writer and resident skeptic, on how Trump could win his vote
- Ken Klukowski - legal editor, on the possibility of cheating in the election
- Alex Marlow - editor-in-chief, looking back on the election and looking forward to his new SiriusXM Patriot podcast!

This week’s portion launches the great story of Abraham, who is told to leave everything of his life behind — except his immediate family — and to leave for “the Land that I shall show you.”
There’s something interesting in the fact that Abraham is told to leave his father’s house, as if breaking away from his father’s life — but his father, in fact, began the journey, moving from Ur to Haran (in last week’s portion). His father set a positive example — why should Abraham leave him?
Some obvious answers suggest themselves — adulthood, needing to make one’s own choices, his father not going far enough, etc.
But I think there is another answer. Abraham (known for the moment as Abram) needs to establish his own household. This is not just about making one’s own choice, but really about choosing one’s own starting point. It’s starting over.
Sometimes we start over in fundamental ways even if much that surrounds us remains the same. Sometimes the journey we have to ...
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!
