I was driving with my son in Cape Town last week, listening to a local radio station, when they had a "name that tune" contest. "In a Big Country" came on.
I didn't call the station in time, but my son was impressed that I could name the song after just a few seconds of music. Of course, it's one of those ubiquitous 1980s tunes that I grew up with; how could I not have known what it was?
South Africa is big and geographically diverse (not to mention diverse in other ways). But the U.S. is big, and wonderful, and I'm celebrating that today, as I'm on a flight to Iowa to check out some local races -- and the prospects for 2024.
Right now it looks like Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee. Ironically, the January 6 hearings have probably made that more likely. But Trump's brand is disruption -- and I'm not sure the electorate wants that. People want stability.

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.

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.

- 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
