1. I've always believed that abortion should be constrained -- but that the decision, within those constraints, should be up to the mother. That is why I favor keeping abortion legal -- but confined to the early stages of pregnancy.
2. I am personally pro-life, in that I believe in encouraging pregnant mothers (I will not say "birthing people"!) to deliver their babies. That is why I have donated for over ten years to an organization that supports new mothers with expenses.
3. The Alito draft decision should never have been leaked. The leak has done serious damage to the Supreme Court. The left has certainly been prepared to destroy institutions, norms, and precedents to protect its power and privileges.
4. The decision itself is elegant, and neatly captures the irreducible essence of the issue: abortion is different because it potentially involves a human life. You can keep the rest of the social liberalism of the Court, but that is the boundary.
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"
