Apologies for missing a day here and there. I have been very busy getting ready for my trip to South Africa. I'll have a lot more to say about it in the days ahead, as I shift into gear in a big way. You'll want to follow...
Let me start by observing that Thursday will feature the annual State of the Nation address by the President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa. The address will be given from Cape Town City Hall -- run by the opposition -- because of recent fire damage to Parliament.
The speech kicks off at 7 p.m. local time (12 p.m. EST) and will last about an hour. Ramaphosa is expected to address the country's recovery from COVID, its ailing economy, and questions around corruption, specifically the "capture" of the government by private interests with members of the ruling party in their pockets.
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
- Matisyahu - award-winning reggae artist, on his new album, "Ancient Child"
