This week, we’ll preview the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who has a weak record on sex offenders, and an alarming record on racial ideology. She is also the first justice in history to be explicitly selected on unconstitutional grounds of race and gender.
One of Judge Jackson’s favorite causes is Black Lives Matter, and we’ll revisit the Breonna Taylor case, one of the iconic events for that movement. We’ll also talk about the transgender movement, the looming Iran deal, and the ongoing war in Ukraine and Russia — where there are interesting developments afoot.
Special guests (tentative):
Sgt. John Mattingly - former Louisville officer, on the Breonna Taylor case
Tom Homan - former ICE acting director, on the crisis at the border
Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC) - on the Second Amendment
Danielle Crittenden - on transgenderism and its effect on love and romance

This week's show will be slightly different from the norm: we'll focus on clips and topics, rather than guests -- and that, hopefully, will mean more input from the callers (unless you are all watching football on opening weekend).
Topics:

- The fight against crime
- The midterm election fight
- The struggle for peace between Russia and Ukraine
- The airstrike on the Venezuelan drug cartel
- The attempt to sink Kennedy
- The war in Gaza
- The case against Harvard
- The Trump presidency

One noteworthy passage concerns Amalek, the evil nation that attacked the Children of Israel as they made their Exodus from slavery to freedom. Deuteronomy 25:17-19 commands Jews to obliterate Amalek's memory.
The South African government accused Israel of genocide on the basis of a story about Amalek in the Book of Samuel, in which King Saul was commanded to wipe out the entire evil Amalekite nation.
Because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quoted this week's portion -- "Remember what Amalek did to you" (25:17), the South African government claimed he was commanding soldiers to commit genocide.
It was an absurd and malevolent misreading of the Bible and of Jewish tradition. The commandment, as observed by Jews today, is to remember the evil of Amalek and fight ...
