Today is a Jewish fast day, remembering the day the Babylonians breached the walls of Jerusalem, so I'll be doing this show without the usual popcorn and coffee. Will I make it? Tune in to find out -- and to hear from amazing guests.
We'll start with Joe Biden's visit to the Middle East. The Saudis now say they will not increase oil production, and opening their skies was not a move toward peace with Israel. So did he achieve anything? I think he did, in spite of himself.
While Joe was away, California Gov. Gavin Newsom paid a visit to Washington, testing the waters for a presidential run -- just in case, you know, something were to ... happen to Biden. He's angling to be the alternative -- to Kamala.
Meanwhile, back home, L.A. is preparing to host the MLB All-Star Game, which was controversially moved from Atlanta last year for political reasons. What will it say about life in L.A., and California -- and blue-state America?
The primary elections are one way to take the pulse of the electorate -- and we will talk to a candidate who's in the field in Maryland, Mathew Foldi, in a newly-competitive district that Republicans think they can take in the midterms.
Special guests:
Alan Dershowitz -- noted legal pundit, on Biden's Middle East trip, and Roe
Elex Michaelson -- of Fox 11 KTTV, who interviewed Gavin Newsom in DC
Matthew Foldi -- Republican primary candidate in Maryland's 6th district
Jessica Vaugn -- model and pundit, on the economy and L.A. 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.
