Broadcasting live from St. Francisville, Louisiana, Erick opens with a CNN clash between Scott Jennings and Ashley Allison over Islamophobia and AIPAC, then connects Abdul El-Sayed and the Muslim Brotherhood to the French riots, the Palestinian flag as the new "omni cause" banner, and the red-green alliance of the secular left and Islamists. Then he turns to the midterms: a nine-point Democratic generic ballot, Trump underwater on inflation, diesel at a record October price, and Matthew McConaughey's pitch for independents, plus Erick's theory that the president may want Democrats to win so he has someone to run against.
