There is so much happening at the moment in U.S. news... and yet my trip to South Africa is just three days away. I think I'm going to have to shift into South Africa mode in fairly short order.
Today I'm returning from a very interesting speaking journey to the Bay Area, where I addressed Republicans in Pleasanton. Speaking to Republican audiences in the midst of the pandemic is always interesting. People don't like masks or social distancing; handshakes are the norm. I don't think I've shaken more than half a dozen hands in two years; I've gone full fist-bump. There is a cultural rejection of the pandemic conventions among conservative audiences. Just interesting.
People are fired-up. I haven't seen Republicans this energized about an election since the 2010 Tea Party -- and people are savvier now than they were then. The "resistance," as such, feels more focused. I will also say this: the anti-tax movement is much stronger among Republicans than even the establishment media understands. You don't have to pander to it, but people are not interested in being lectured to about the vaccine. The safe ground is to oppose mandates -- though, when asked, I talk freely about my own choice to be vaccinated.
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
