Another gorgeous weekend in Southern California... and we'll have lots to talk about. We will give you the latest on the tornadoes in Kentucky, and the devastation there. Then we'll talk about a media whirlwind: the departure of Chris Wallace from Fox to something called CNN+, and how CNN's taking it.
Hillary Clinton weighed in with her thoughts about the 2024 election... as did a variety of Democrats, who are claiming that Trump and the Republicans are preparing an armed coup, or something. (Right now the 2022 generic ballot is a walk for Republicans, so not sure why, er, mere voting might not be enough.)
But we'll talk about that, and about the January 6 committee, and Republicans like Chris Christie (a former guest) supporting it, while Mark Meadows's recent lawsuit has exposed the committee as being both unconstitutional and in violation of its own resolution! Plus the debt ceiling, Miss Universe, and more.
Guests include:
Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) - gubernatorial candidate for New York
Jerome Hudson - Breitbart Hollywood editor, on "West Side Story" crash

This week's show will be slightly different from the norm: we'll focus on clips and topics, rather than guests -- and that, hopefully, will mean more input from the callers (unless you are all watching football on opening weekend).

This week's Torah portion includes several laws about conduct in civic and personal life, the common theme of which is boundaries -- setting bounds to what one may do at home, at work, and even in the battlefield.
One noteworthy passage concerns Amalek, the evil nation that attacked the Children of Israel as they made their Exodus from slavery to freedom. Deuteronomy 25:17-19 commands Jews to obliterate Amalek's memory.
The South African government accused Israel of genocide on the basis of a story about Amalek in the Book of Samuel, in which King Saul was commanded to wipe out the entire evil Amalekite nation.
Because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quoted this week's portion -- "Remember what Amalek did to you" (25:17), the South African government claimed he was commanding soldiers to commit genocide.
It was an absurd and malevolent misreading of the Bible and of Jewish tradition. The commandment, as observed by Jews today, is to remember the evil of Amalek and fight ...
