After watching the 7th public hearing of the January 6th Committee, I'm so disgusted by their manipulation of evidence, their abuse of witnesses, their denial of due process, and their outright lies that I've concluded the only honorable course of action left for a witness is to resist and accept jail time.
As you know, if you've followed me for long enough, I opposed the January 6 rally; I considered the election neither free nor fair, NOR fraudulent, and congratulated Joe Biden when he won the Electoral College; yet I consider this Inquisition a grotesque abuse of civil liberties that will do lasting damage.
There is precedent, in the noble tradition of the civil rights movement, to be prepared to accept imprisonment as the penalty for disobeying an unjust law. That, I believe, is what future witnesses hauled before the committee must be prepared to face. It is a hard choice, but it is also the only moral choice.
I'm not giving legal advice here, nor am I judging those who have testified already. Probably, they imagine that because no one takes these hearings seriously anyway, it does not matter. But it does. The rules of due process are the glue that holds our society together. It is worth self-sacrifice to save them.
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"
