Welcome to Daylight Savings Time! Still awake to enjoy the beautiful long day? A taste of summer, at the expense of sleep. Don't worry, this week's show will keep you on the edge of your seat.
We're going to talk about the war in Ukraine, of course -- and isn't it interesting how Joe Biden, who was ridiculing Mitt Romney in 2012 for warning us about Russia, is blaming everything going wrong in his presidency on Putin? Biden's right not to take steps that could lead to an escalation -- but he put us in this position. NATO is tiptoeing around Putin rather than the other way around, because instead of Putin having to worry about whatever Trump might do, we have to worry about what he might do. There was an arms race toward crazy, and it turned out crazy was a pretty good deterrent, but the election went the other way, and Russia beat us in crazy. Or, to use a chess metaphor, Biden chose to play with the black pieces, who move second, meaning that the best we can hope for (absent a colossal blunder, which I wouldn't rule out) is a draw.
Inflation is among the many things for which Biden blames Putin -- and we'll talk about that, too. It's one lie too many for the American media, who noted this weekend that inflation began almost as soon as Biden took office. What does it mean, going forward? Well, Congress is busy spending billions on earmarks, thanks to Democrats -- and a majority of House Republicans, mind you -- who brought back the practice. Plus: the Florida "don't say gay" bill still doesn't say "gay." We'll talk about all of it. You'll want to hear it.
Special guests:
Dan Eberhart -- CEO of Canary USA, on electric cars as an alternative
Steve Ellis -- President of Taxpayers for Common Sense, on earmarks
Melanie Israel -- Researcher at Heritage, on Democrats' social radicalism

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?

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 ...
