Even Stevens
We are joined by JNS's Ruthie Blum from Tel Aviv to discuss tomorrow's impending midterm election and the hoopla in Michigan over Haley Stevens endorsing Mike Rogers and the ridiculous reactions from democrats.

The Antisemitism Horseshoe
Contributing editor Eli Lake joins us today to correct the record on Jon Lovett's comments on Michigan Jews and Abdul El-Sayed, and discuss the larger implications of centering Israel in US politics and the different flavors of antisemitism on the left and right as both parties struggle with their own cohorts in the approach to the midterms.

Coalition Building
Ben Shapiro joins us today to discuss the results of the Israeli election, where the anti-Bibi coalition underperformed and likely denied Eisenkot the prime ministership. Can Netanyahu form a new type of coalition or rely on Smotrich, Ben Gvir, and the ultra orthodox parties, and what might another round of elections look like if he can't? Plus, the election results as viewed through the prism of American politics, and John recommends the movie Confession. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Let it Bibi
The Israeli election is in full swing with the highest turnout in 50 years. What will this mean for the Arab parties, Netanyahu's chances of survival, and will an Eisenkot victory expose American leftists who claim to only be anti-Bibi? Plus, the midterms loom large with the Michigan race seemingly tied and reports that early voting turnout in the state is down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
