President Joe Biden is out of the country, and the news -- at least the news I cover -- is slow. Yet things are ablaze -- inflation, war, shortages, crime, panic.
We're rudderless because for a generation we've confused academic pedigree with the right to rule. So we're ruled by those who take good standardized tests.
Nothing in life is a standardized test. So we're left without leaders. We feel isolated, frustrated, hopeless. Do we just sit here and wait for the next thing?
No. We get up. We pursue a goal -- maybe just a goal for the day. Maybe getting up is the goal. That's what we do. Then we do the next thing. And then.
When I think of the lessons my mother-in-law left us, that's really what it comes down to. Leadership isn't about hard things, but commitment to them.
She gave a speech once in which she said corruption is a choice we all make, or don't make. It's the same with leadership. It's me. It's you. It starts today.
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"
