I am genuinely sad at the passing of the Queen. I have written a bit about my thoughts on her significance to American conservatives (link below). The gist of it is that she exemplified the virtues our Founders thought essential to freedom.
But there's really an additional dimension to that. In our contemporary age of tabloid media, we saw all of the Queen's flaws as well. We saw that her family, like many families, is at times dysfunctional, replete with tragedy and pain.
And yet, for all that, she was transcendent. She struggled with things that many of us struggle with, and still retained a sense of what was important. It's not just that she was a virtuous woman: she was also virtuous amid all the tumult of life.
Now that is something worth celebrating, and emulating in our own lives.
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"
