This week Jarlath and Marion get together for a US Midterm election special. Marion talks us through election results and the relief of the red wave that didn’t happen. The Business Post Washington Correspondent calls her winner for the election as they talk through the standout candidates, from Kari Lake and Dr. Oz to Stacey Abrams and John Fetterman. On top of the election latest, Marion gives the low down on what’s in store for Trump should he run as a presidential candidate for 2024 and who he’s up against. As well as what Joe Biden’s legacy might be over the course of his presidential years and will he run again. Jarlath and Marion also further discuss the attack on Paul Pelosi, the Republican response and what the rise in political violence means for the future of America.

Is Kari Lake the new face of MAGA Republicanism? Who is she? And why are Democrats so fearful of her. Marion McKeone has been out on the campaign trail to witness what makes this candidate so similar and yet so different from those that have come before her. Many believe she will be Trump's running mate in 2024. But could the big Orange guy handle a woman like Kari or will she fall into line and "know her place"?
In second half of the discussion exclusive to Patreon supporters, we look at why the violent break in at Nancy Pelosi's residence has been viewed so lightly by some and so seriously by others, the attempt by the Supreme Court to end affirmative action and laws intended to prevent intimation at the polls as the midterms loom large. Is violence inevitable? Will the results of these elections be accepted by candidates who don't believe the current system of voting is fair?Finally Marion recommends a brilliant new book on Sam Adams by Stacy Schiff.(Don't forget to book your tickets for January 6th's filming of my new standup special in Dublin. Marion is going to be there. So should you.)—Why not submit a question for Marion.1.

Welcome to the brand new feed! This week, Marion McKeone, US Correspondent for the Sunday Business Post, examines the latest events, key races and moments in the lead up to the midterms. Is the red wave going to materialise? Marion explains why it might be too close to call. Why have 12 million Americans already voted and why is voter intimidation rampant in some states. 2.3% growth in the US economy? That can't be right? Or can it. Kanye West's pattern of petulance and self-promotion backfires once and for all. Marion and Jarlath sift through the pieces and wonder why it took this long. Hear the full conversation and support the show on Patreon.com/irishmanabroad.
Jarlath announces the recording of his new standup special on January 6th of all days. You can be there. Tickets go on sale today at 10am from ticketmaster.ie

It's our first episode on the exclusive Irishman In America feed. Now you can get 100% Marion McKeone podcasts on one podcast channel! Even though Alex Jones was told to pay the victims families of the Sandy Hook massacre almost one billion dollars, an amount that he earns every three years, there is a good chance that he will never pay a cent. Marion examines the verdict, the prospect of an appeal and the message it sends to other broadcasters willing to spew misinformation in exchange for clicks. Are free and fair elections going to be an American relic after the midterms? Marion explains why candidates openly promising to “fix” the next election have a lot of people very worried. Harvey Weinstein whinges while the jury selection for his trial begins in L.A. And Hunter Biden forces his father to comment on his up-coming tax issues. Is there a proper skeleton in the Biden closet in time for Halloween?
