There is a surprising silence around the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson. Perhaps that's just because the first day is devoted to opening statements rather than questions; perhaps that's because it's a liberal replacing another liberal, and it will not affect the current balance of the Court; perhaps that's because she's the first black female nominee, and so her confirmation is assured in a way that it would not be for another nominee.
It's also possible that she's met the bar for qualifications, and that Republicans have other irons in the fire. There may be more qualified judges, but Supreme Court justices are rarely the most qualified judges. They're the most qualified who have a reasonably good chance of staying on the bench the longest. I'm sure there are good judges who never get a chance because they started later.
She's very likable; she has a beautiful family; she mentioned God in her opening statement. And she's radical in some of the most destructive ways. But she'll be on the highest court soon, and she'll likely be there for a very, very long time.
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
