Batchelor and Klein will be coming to listeners from inside a truck parked near an Israeli Defense Forces artillery outpost in a Negev town that borders Gaza. The artillery unit is regularly used by the IDF to fire at rocket launching sites in Gaza following Palestinian rocket and mortar attacks at Jewish communities in the border area.
A good portion of tonight's show will focus on Israel's upcoming parliamentary and prime ministerial elections, and the aftershocks of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's evacuation of Jewish communities this past summer from Gaza and parts of the West Bank.
Batchelor and Klein will broadcast from various Mideast hot spots all week.
Batchelor, New York City's No. 1 rated nighttime talk-show host, quickly achieved the highest ratings on WABC-AM during the aftermath of 9-11 with his insightful and passionate debate surrounding the war on terrorism. Batchelor began national syndication in March 2003, and can now be heard on over 30 affiliated stations, including WABC 770 in New York, WMAL 630 in Washington, WKRO 680 in Boston and WWBA 1040 in Tampa – all of which provide Internet links for listening to the program online.
His show covers a wide variety of topics – from military battles, presidential campaigns, planetary exploration and Hollywood politicos, to Batchelor's own international travel. He has broadcast from all corners of the world and regularly brings on guests from New York, Jerusalem, Des Moines, Kazakhstan, Manchester, Morocco, Boston, Taipei, Washington and Baghdad.
Klein and Batchelor previously broadcast from inside Gaza's Jewish communities just days prior to Israel's Aug. 17 Gaza withdrawal.
A regular WND reader, Batchelor has published seven political novels, as well as the best-known history of the Republican Party, "Ain't You Glad You Joined the Republicans?"
Klein joins Batchelor regularly throughout the week to discuss his WND reports and offer the latest information on events in the Middle East, with particular emphasis on Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, and Jordan. Klein usually appears in the 10:50 p.m. Eastern time slot during weekdays at a rate determined by the news cycle.
