The opening of the new US Embassy in Jerusalem on Monday will be both a historic and polarizing event. Bob Schlehuber, producer for 'By Any Means Necessary' on Radio Sputnik, joins Fault Lines live from Jerusalem to discuss what he has observed on the ground and will be covering in the coming days.

There has been a lot of talk in the media about a possible 'Blue Wave' coming in the 2018 Midterm Elections. Julie Kelly, a writer and former political consultant, has analyzed data in the Midwest which makes her believe that the Democrats may be facing major electoral issues in the region. On today's show, Garland and Lee talk with Julie about how the Midwest could be a driving force in who controls Congress come 2019.

For the final segment of the week, Fault Lines fan-favorite Michael Krieger returns to the program to give his thoughts on President Trump's decision to withdraw from the Iran Nuclear Deal. In light of this decision, Krieger asks the question of whether or not the United States is on the the road to becoming a 'Rouge State.'
