I will share my thoughts about American politics, as well as current events in Israel and elsewhere, based on my experiences in the U.S., South Africa, and the Middle East. I will also discuss books and popular culture from the perspective of a somewhat libertarian, religiously observant conservative living in California. I will also share art and ideas that I find useful and helpful, and link to my content at Breitbart News, Amazon, and elsewhere.

Breitbart News Sunday: show rundown (May 15, 2022)

The country is in a state of shock after the mass shooting in Buffalo on Saturday -- except for the left and its media apologists, who are out to censor anyone who talks about "replacement theory."

There is a white supremacist conspiracy theory that claims that our country, controlled by Jews, is letting in people of different races to replace white Americans. That's crazy and deadly; it has motivated several mass shooters.

Then there's the reasonable, backed-by-evidence theory that Democrats are refusing to enforce immigration laws because they want to replace the current electorate with a new one that sees the party of open borders and asylum as its benefactor.

We'll talk about all of that. We'll also talk about the Court's impending reversal of Roe v. Wade, and we'll also discuss the ongoing chaos in the Middle East, which is being incited by Palestinian leaders -- a fact western journalists ignore.

We'll also look ahead to the U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania, which is up for grabs at the moment, as Trump has endorsed Oz; Kathy Barnette impressed voters at the debate; and David McCormick is making a late push. There's a bit of shocking news, as Democratic frontrunner John Fetterman has suffered a stroke. (Speedy recovery!)

I want to talk about the attacks on Barnette a bit, some of which are legitimate, and some of which are really low.

Special guests:
Tom Homan - former acting ICE director, on Buffalo and the border issue
Danny Danon - former Israeli ambassador to the UN, on Israel's foreign policy
Adam Waldeck - founder of 1776 Action, on the PA Senate/governor's race
Elizabeth Johnston - pro-life activist, on the impending reversal of Roe

This is what is left of my special place in the forest

Burned, then covered in mudslides and rockslides. The river still flows through it. But we have lost so much. I have to believe the spirit still lives on.

Breitbart News Sunday: show rundown (August 24, 2025)

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?

Special guests:

  • Bradley Jaye -- Breitbart News congressional correspondent, on redistricting
  • Tom Manza, California Business and Industrial Alliance, on Gavin Newsom
  • Jon Fleischman, veteran California political expert, on the special election
  • Dan Backer, veteran political lawyer and consultant, on corruption

Weekly Torah reading: Re'eh (Deuteronomy 11:26 - 16:17)

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 ...
