We're just about a month away from the 2022 midterm elections, and the race is nearing its final stages. We'll talk about that with two candidates -- as well as the issues of energy and "wokeness" that are motivating voters in this election.
We'll also talk about foreign policy -- specifically the crisis in Russia and Ukraine. And we'll discuss the border crisis, including the Fifth Circuit's decision to strike down DACA -- ten years after the unconstitutional policy was made.
Finally, we'll have a special guest: Patrick Courrielche, of the Red Pilled America podcast, which has done an incredible job with its ten-part series about Richard Nixon. It opened my eyes to the deeper story behind Watergate.
Special guests:
Alexis Martinez Johnson - Republican nominee for Congress, NM-03
Steve Myers - entrepreneur and policy expert on Russia, on the Ukraine War
Mike Lawler - Republican nominee for Congress, NY-17, on Columbus Day John Binder - Breitbart News immigration reporter, on DACA strike down

This week’s portion tells the grand story of the prophet who tried to curse people of Israel and instead ended up blessing them.
I am reminded that these portions continue to be relevant anew, as this particular reading lent the title for Israel’s recent 12 Day War against Iran, “Operation Rising Lion.”
This week's portion includes the commandment of the red heifer -- one of the classic "irrational" commandments whose fulfillment is an expression of faith. It also includes the regrettable episode in which Moses strikes the rock.
I referred to this story in a wedding speech last night. Why was Moses punished for striking the rock in Numbers, when he struck the rock without incident in Exodus -- both for the purpose of providing water to the people?
The answer is that in the interim, the Jewish people had received the Torah, which is like the marriage contract between the people of Israel and God. In a marriage, you do not resolve things by breaking boundaries, but through love.
The additional reading, from Judges Chapter 11, is the story of Jephthah (Yiftach), a man whom the leaders spurn, but to whom they must turn to save the nation. The parallels to our present political circumstances are striking.
Shabbat Shalom and Happy Fourth of July!
