I took my baby on a stroller hike, I went boxing for an hour, and I watched my older daughter rock out with her band in Venice. What could be left for a perfect Sunday in Los Angeles? Why... it's "Breitbart News Sunday," of course!
Today's show will start right here in L.A. I want to talk about why Mayor Eric Garcetti is using his parents to hire a lobbyist firm to push for his confirmation as ambassador to India. What's up with that? Maybe it explains why L.A. is in such a terrible state: the guy can't run anything and needs his parents to do things for him. Or maybe this is an example of that "white privilege" he kept telling us about all the time, since his parents can afford to hire lobbyists.
OK, back to national news. There's still a baby formula shortage on, and my wife has run out of our favorite brand, which we can't find at the story. Our baby refuses to drink the other kinds. So... she found a powdered brand from Germany that the baby likes. We have to order it from overseas, and there are apparently airlifts of baby formula coming in... while Biden administration officials lie and blame the manufacturers. Hey, who's in charge of the country?
We'll talk a bit about Bill Maher. I don't like to do it so much, because a) he falsely accused Andrew Breitbart of being a racist; b) he never invites me on his show, though his producer promised to do so several years ago; c) he's done as much as anyone to build up wokeness to the point where now it's a threat to him. But he's become an advocate of free speech and a voice of reason on many issues, not least of which is the issue of forcing transgenderism on children.
We'll also talk about the Pennsylvania primary, and the upcoming Georgia primary, among other electoral contests. Trump's endorsees are ... well, some of them are winning, but some are losing (Perdue), or underperforming (Oz). What's Donald Trump's role in the party, going forward? Former SecDef Robert Gates says he's a threat to national security. Really? Or are there other reasons that SANE people might have to want an alternative candidate in 2024?
And could ... California be in play? Anything's possible. The people of L.A. are leaning toward a real estate developer from outside the political world... not Trump, but Rick Caruso. And with the state knocking down dams -- in the middle of a drought, and a coming electricity crisis -- maybe independent thinker Michael Shellenberger could be just the long-shot governor that California needs? Can he win against Gavin Newsom and the Dem machine?
All that, and more, on today's show!
Special guests:
Joseph Vazquez -- free speech expert at the Media Research Center
Timothy Head -- of Faith and Freedom Coalition, on the Georgia primary
Michael Shellenberger -- leading outside candidate for California governor
Alek Skarlatos -- Republican nominee for Congress in OR, and decorated hero

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 state of the economy
- 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

This week's Torah portion includes several laws about conduct in civic and personal life, the common theme of which is boundaries -- setting bounds to what one may do at home, at work, and even in the battlefield.
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 ...
