The eleven worshipers killed Saturday morning inside of a Pittsburgh synagogue had NO direct warning their congregation was being targeted by an extremist. And yet, in general terms, warnings WERE out there--threats made toward Jewish groups across the country on social media platforms that have become increasingly active and increasingly public about their hatred.

With white supremacist groups on the rise, and violent attacks on the increase along with them, does the nation's law enforcement need new ways to stop these attacks before they happen? And how did what was largely considered a European problem of ascendant neo-Nazi groups migrate to the United States? We will go In Depth.

We will also talk with a former white supremacist who has now devoted himself to helping others in that movement get out, and stay out; and ask about what drew him to skinheads in the first place.

Then in the back-half of the show: with election day just over a week away, we're debating California's propositions all week on In Depth--first up, rent control and Proposition 10.

Yesterday, he was in the shadows. Today, the Florida sunshine revealed 56 year old Cesar Sayoc as the man law enforcement says was behind the series of pipe bombs sent to over a dozen prominent Democrats and critics of President Trump. The FBI says the devices were no hoax. They did contain explosive material--though still not clear how functional they were. And Sayoc's van is decorated with pro-Trump and anti media messages...perhaps providing the motive. Sayoc has an extensive criminal record. We will go In Depth on it all.

Back here in L.A., Dodgers fans are going through Friday with a bit of a pit in their stomachs--their team is down 2-0 to the Boston Red Sox, and on the eve of World Series Game 3, the Dodgers have shown no ability to keep up with the Sox. We talk with Dodgers great Orel Hershiser.

And former Independent Counsel Ken Starr, the man behind the impeachment of Bill Clinton, will join us to look back on that episode and the comparisons to today's special counsel investigation of President Trump.

President Trump has a thing for Winston Churchill, the British Prime Minister who led Great Britain through the second world war. Loves the guy. Which is why this quote from Winston Churchill resonates. He said...the price of greatness is responsibility. And yet, at a rally and by Tweet, President Trump refuses to accept any responsibility for the combustible political atmosphere we are all now living in. Instead...he largely blames the media. Blames the media after a wave of pipe bombs were sent to key political and public figures--mostly Democrats---all critics of Mr Trump. We will go In Depth.

New names have been added to the list of those on the receiving end of these crude explosive devices. Former Vice President Joe Biden and Robert DeNiro. What kind of person --or persons---would assemble at least ten pipe bombs we know about? We will go In Depth on that.

And, an in studio conversation with Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff about the bombs...the elections..and the Russians.

Today---we are going to spend a lot of time on the climate. No, not THAT climate...not the weather. But the political climate in this country---and the extraordinary events still unfolding. Someone---maybe more than just someone---sending crude explosive devices to the homes of two former Presidents of the United States....to a US Congresswoman.....to the offices in New York of CNN....to a former US Attorney General. What ALL share in common---all are or are perceived to be critics of the Trump administration. We will go In Depth on the hunt for who did this...as the nation waits to learn whether today's attempted attacks are the end or just the beginning.

Later on, NBC host Megyn Kelly argues that blackface costumes for Halloween maybe shouldn't be considered racist; and quickly faces broad condemnation. We will go In Depth on that controversy.

Two weeks. Two more weeks of nonstop campaign commercials, two more weeks of tightening poles, two more weeks of President Trump's rallies that increasingly strain credulity.....and two more weeks of Democratic nail-biting. We're in the home stretch to the 2018 midterm election and, in spite of earlier predictions, this one looks to be a competitive race for control of Congress--we will go in depth.

And with the stock market having an up-and-down day----part of what's been an up-and-down few weeks----are there signs on the horizon of a slowing American economy?

Later in the show, Turkey makes its case that it was Saudi Arabia's royal family that was behind the plot to kill journalist Jamal Khashoggi---we'll take you to Istanbul for the latest. And former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor makes a heartbreaking announcement that will hit close to home for millions of Americans.

Finally.....let's get it on Boston! The Dodgers get ready to do battle with the Red Sox in game one of the World Series......and hope to exorcise a 30-year-old demon.

It sounds so ominous: hardened criminals. Unknown Middle Easterners. A wave of humanity maybe seven thousand strong heading like a tsunami wave toward the US border with Mexico. Only......only......most of what I just told you---echoing remarks from President Trump---has no evidence to support! Yes, the so-called caravan is moving. But apparently made up of families --moms and dads and kids---desperate all of them--to leave a dangerous life with no future behind.

So, we will go In Depth as Mr Trump suggests using the military to secure the border in what he sees as a national emergency.

Also on the show---should the fire alarm be going off? Over 600 L.A. County Fire Department employees took in more than 100 grand in overtime last year alone....making firefighters some of the highest paid employees in the county. We will go In Depth to find out how that happened.

Plus, people hurt---they say---in collisions with electric scooters go to court, filing a class action suit charging the rental devices with assault. And, will your next sandwich come from the sky????
