I will share my thoughts about American politics, as well as current events in Israel and elsewhere, based on my experiences in the U.S., South Africa, and the Middle East. I will also discuss books and popular culture from the perspective of a somewhat libertarian, religiously observant conservative living in California. I will also share art and ideas that I find useful and helpful, and link to my content at Breitbart News, Amazon, and elsewhere.

Breitbart News Sunday: Show rundown (December 12, 2021)

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

Tune in: SiriusXM Patriot 125, 7-10 p.m. ET, 4-7 p.m. PT

This is what is left of my special place in the forest

Burned, then covered in mudslides and rockslides. The river still flows through it. But we have lost so much. I have to believe the spirit still lives on.

Breitbart News Sunday: show rundown (August 24, 2025)

This week, we are tackling two major areas of contention between the Trump administration and Democrat governors: fighting crime, and redistricting. The president is sending the National Guard to blue cities -- and blue states are trying to stamp out Republican representation. Is this a civil war situation?

Special guests:

  • Bradley Jaye -- Breitbart News congressional correspondent, on redistricting
  • Tom Manza, California Business and Industrial Alliance, on Gavin Newsom
  • Jon Fleischman, veteran California political expert, on the special election
  • Dan Backer, veteran political lawyer and consultant, on corruption
  • DJ Mark Anthony, on a recent visit to Rome and visiting Pope Leo XIV

Weekly Torah reading: Re'eh (Deuteronomy 11:26 - 16:17)

This week's portion is the last of the month of Av -- also known as Menachem (Comforter) Av -- which begins in mourning and ends in celebration and anticipation of the New Year and the process of repentance and renewal.

In a similar vein, the portion features Moses offering the Israelites a choice between a blessing and a curse. They are masters of their own fates: if they obey God's commandments, they receive the blessings -- and vice versa.

The key commandment is to reject idol worship. There is said to be something magnetic about the practice of worshiping idols in the new land, such that it would be constant moral battle, both individually and collectively, in the land.

Nowadays, according to Jewish tradition, humanity has lost the urge for idol worship (and the antidote, which is divine prophecy) -- but there are several near substitutes, such as lust or excessive appetites for worldly pleasures.

We are wired for compulsive behaviors, bad habits, and even addictions. These ...
