We begin today's show by celebrating Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year... before diving into news of the week ahead. John Carney of Breitbart News gives us the inflation picture, as the stock market has dipped below 30,000.
Next, we discuss the latest developments in the Russia-Ukraine war, and the showdowns at the United Nations, with Steve Meyers. He and I come from different places on the issue, but we agree on the best way forward: talks.
The New York Attorney General's lawsuit against Trump and family brings up the perennial question of why nothing has really happened to Biden and his family. My Son Hunter producer Phelim McAleer joins us to discuss.
We also talk about the rest of the international and domestic news -- with a special appearance by Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) to discuss the GOP's new election manifesto, the "Commitment to America.
Shanah Tovah!

This week's Torah portion includes several laws about conduct in civic and personal life, the common theme of which is boundaries -- setting bounds to what one may do at home, at work, and even in the battlefield.
One noteworthy passage concerns Amalek, the evil nation that attacked the Children of Israel as they made their Exodus from slavery to freedom. Deuteronomy 25:17-19 commands Jews to obliterate Amalek's memory.
