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

I should have noted in my message about the weekly Torah portion that this week is Shabbat Chazon, the Sabbath of Vision. We are about to mourn -- but see through that pain to something better that lies beyond, on the other side.
Wishing you the best vision -- and an incredible reality to follow. It happens!
We begin the final speech of Moses to the people of Israel before they enter the Promised Land. He relates the ups and downs of the years of wandering in the desert, before, finally, the people have the merit to enter the land itself.
This Sabbath always precedes Tisha B'Av, the Ninth of Av, the saddest day on the Jewish calendar. It is the anniversary of the destruction of both of the Holy Temples, and a catch-all for many calamities that befell the Jewish people.
A word on Tisha B'Av. This year I am leaving for an overseas trip during the afternoon of the holiday -- in the middle of a fast day. Not idea, but there was no other choice. But my flight is in the afternoon, which is significant.
We relax some of the harsh, mournful customs of the day in the afternoon. We start to pray normally; we sit on regular chairs; we start to have hope again in the redemption that will, one day, lead us all back from exile to our home.
I'll be taking a trip to a land where an important part of ...
President Trump is in Scotland, playing golf and making big trade deals -- a major deal with the EU, in fact. Meanwhile, there is a global outcry about humanitarian aid to Palestinians (not about the Israeli hostages, mind you).
On top of that, Democrats are at their lowest polling numbers ever -- so they are trying to win control of the House by redistricting in the middle of a 10-year Census cycle. Oh, economic optimism is up, so they have a tough road.
And Tulsi Gabbard's revelations about the Russia collusion investigation make it clear that Obama's lieutenants lied to Congress. How deeply was he himself involved? The media continue to ignore the evidence, but we certainly won't.
Special guests:
Nick Gilbertson - Breitbart News White House correspondent, on EU deal
Frances Martel - Breitbart News foreign editor, on Trump abroad and Russia
John Spencer - urban warfare expert, on humanitarian aid and war in Gaza
Bradley Jaye - Breitbart News congressional correspondent, on the ...
