He's brilliant, and a little bit batty, and I think he's a little too forthcoming with personal grievances against close relatives, but I understand his major grievance: he doesn't like being used by anybody. Not Kim, not Jared, not Trump, nobody.
At one point Kanye told Tucker that he believed Jared Kushner was arranging the Middle East peace deals solely to make money. That's a little bit dangerous -- I'm sure there are some who will say West was inching close to antisemitism.
But suppose it's true. So what? The fact that people will make money from Middle East peace is another reason to do it. It's not the main reason to do it, or at least it's not the main reason people like me care about it so deeply.
What I would say to Kanye, as a Jewish man to a Black man (capital B), is that when Israel is accepted by her Arab brothers and sisters, then my soul's days of wandering are at rest. That is what peace means to me, no matter who profits.
I think Ye was just coming from a place of irritation that complete strangers owned a piece of his ideas -- a piece of his wife, really -- and that it was only so they could make more money on the next deal. I think I get that, I really do.
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"
