The first night of the January 6 Committee hearing was a dud, in that it produced no new evidence, while showing just how far Democrats will go to abuse their power. The credibility of the whole investigation was diminished.
That does not mean it was a failure, if one assumes that the only real goal was to hurt Donald Trump. Any reminder of January 6 is a reminder of his worst moment, regardless of whether he actually did anything illegal or wrong.
Part of the goal may be to make Trump more toxic to his own voters, perhaps by showing testimony from his own aides. (Did those who cooperated with the committee know that they were going to be spliced into propaganda videos?)
But as I argued on this morning's Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM 125, the only person really hurting Trump's support right now is Trump himself, because he is talking about the 2020 election, rather than issues on voters' minds.
So the committee can't hurt him more than he has hurt himself. Meanwhile, they are not only destroying the spirit of the Constitution, but their own ratings. It turns out that show trials, while slick, are also deadly boring.
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
