We'll begin with Hurricane Ian... and move into a discussion of President Joe Biden's absurd repetition, for the umpteenth time, of the "fine people hoax" -- this time, at a celebration of the Jewish New Year at the White House.
Next, we'll talk about the media trying to make the hurricane about Ron DeSantis, hoping he would fail. Btw, DeSantis has always been good at Middle East policy: that brings us to Jason Greenblatt and the Abraham Accords.
We'll talk to Fox News alumnus Bill O'Reilly about his new show, and to Jerome Hudson about life in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. Rabbi Shmuley will comment on the Pennsylvania Senate race, and Kelly Sloan will talk energy.
Special guests:
Curtis Houck - of Media Research Center, on Ian and Ron DeSantis
Jason Greenblatt - Trump's MidEast envoy, on the Abraham Accords
Bill O'Reilly - host of Shock and Awe on Vidgo.com
Jerome Hudson - Breitbart News entertainment editor, on the hurricane
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach - on his opposition to Dr. Oz in Pennsylvania
Kelly Sloan - of Centennial Institute, on Colorado/California "green" energy

- The fight against crime
- The midterm election fight
- The struggle for peace between Russia and Ukraine
- The airstrike on the Venezuelan drug cartel

- The Trump presidency

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.
The South African government accused Israel of genocide on the basis of a story about Amalek in the Book of Samuel, in which King Saul was commanded to wipe out the entire evil Amalekite nation.
Because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quoted this week's portion -- "Remember what Amalek did to you" (25:17), the South African government claimed he was commanding soldiers to commit genocide.
It was an absurd and malevolent misreading of the Bible and of Jewish tradition. The commandment, as observed by Jews today, is to remember the evil of Amalek and fight ...
