Hello and welcome to the Slate Political Gab Fest for November 3, 2016, the Is It Tuesday Yet edition?

I am David Fotz of Atlas Obscura, Emily Bazelon of the New York Times. You are down the

line somewhere. Hello, Emily. Hello, David. John Dickerson, Face the Nation. You are also

down the line somewhere. Hello, John. Howdy, howdy. Where are you spending election night,

John? In New York. In New York City. In the studio, in a CBS studio. We'll start at 6.30 in the evening for the

evening news and then we'll be on until we're scheduled to be on at least until two in the morning.

And yeah, so that's, we got a long night ahead of us. Yeah. On this week's Gab Fest, the election is five days away,

and the polls are narrowing. How close is it? Then James Comey's letter to Congress about the whom

a weiner Hillary emails upends the race. Did Comey act appropriately? How much effect will his letter have on the election?

Then I'm calling in Audible. We were going to talk about Trump and taxes in Russia, but I'm just saying no, we're not because our new topic is going to be how to deal with pre-election anxiety because I, David Plotz, need your help.

Plus, we'll have cocktail chatter,

and for Slate Plus, the acquittal of Aymand Bundy

and the other Malher, Malur.

How do you pronounce that?

I don't even know.

Maler protesters.

That I don't know.

If you are not yet a Slate Plus member,

the bad, the bad, the bad er.

The bad er. Malo the bad er. The bad hour.

Malo.
