I'm back on the air after several weeks when I was away for family reasons. This will be a very interesting episode, because we'll be looking both forward and back.
Forward: to President Biden's visit to the Middle East, trying to pick up the pieces of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, and begging the Saudis for oil. We'll talk to Avi Jorisch, who is doing the hard work of building alliances.
Forward: to the next hearing of the January 6 Committee, which is going to weave a conspiracy theory linking President Trump to far-right groups that stormed the Capitol. The committee is manipulating evidence and has refused to consider the offer of a leader of the Oath Keepers to testify under oath -- with the proviso that he be able to testify live, so they can't manipulate his testimony and make up things about him, as they have done to others.
Backward: to my visit to South Africa, which made the same mistakes 20 years ago that America is making today: failing to invest in power generation and using government investigative bodies to eliminate political opposition.
Backward: to my old home state of Illinois, where the governor is causing for more gun control despite the abject failure of the strictest rules in a liberal community on July 4th. No law can eliminate evil or the need for vigilance.
Forward: to the 2022 midterm elections and the 2024 presidential elections -- from Iowa. Yes, I was able to make it to the Hawkeye State this week, and I interviewed two Republicans who are building towards a hoped-for red wave.
Special guests:
Zach Nunn -- Iowa legislator and candidate for Congress in IA-03
Tom Cotton -- Senator from Arkansas and possible presidential contender
Avi Jorisch -- author forging ties between Israel and its Arab neighbors

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"
