My city council member, Mike Bonin, has escaped a recall election in dubious circumstances: the city clerk disqualified enough signatures to make sure he survived until his re-election. He is delighted, calling his escape a win for his "progressive" values, and blaming right-wing forces for the whole effort.
Bonin symbolizes the arrogance of left-wing politicians who know they almost never lose in Democrat-run cities. He wanted to put homeless shelters on the beach; he has presided over a shocking rise in crime, much of it perpetrated by those same homeless people, including the murder of a constituent this week.
He is blaming right-wing donors and right-wing media, but many of the people who want him gone are left-wing. The neighborhood council in Venice -- not exactly a right-wing haven -- declared it had "no confidence" in him after he screwed up homeless policy there. He is a symbol of a nationwide plague.
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
Special guests:
- Bradley Jaye - Breitbart News congressional correspondent, on the shutdown
- John Carney - Breitbart News financial editor, on the upcoming jobs report
- Jerome Hudson - Breitbart News entertainment editor, on the Kimmel fallout
- Frances Martel - Breitbart News foreign editor, on the UN and Gaza talks
