I have total contempt for the January 6 Committee. On Thursday, it is going to focus on Mike Pence, for whom I have an incredible amount of respect.
Like Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA), I believe that Pence was right not to go along with Trump's demand that he refuse to certify the 2020 result. While there was a constitutionally-coherent argument that Pence had the authority to do it, the argument against doing so was far stronger. Moreover, Pence was not going to tear the country apart. It is simply not in his nature to act that way.
But also like McClintock, I reject completely the one-sided and constitutionally invalid proceedings of the January 6 Committee, which has abused Congress's authority and the basic civil liberties of those whom it has targeted for abuse.
Supposedly, according to Democrats, and according to some very vocal Trump supporters, you have to choose: if you support Pence, then you are some kind of traitor, siding with the January 6 Committee; if you oppose the committee, then you are a co-conspirator in an "insurrection." Somehow, I suspect many people actually agree, quietly, with the position McClintock explained 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
