Kanye West, or Ye, chickened out the moment he was challenged to defend his views on Jews -- in the mildest way -- by Tim Pool on his podcast. West walked out and took his entourage, including antisemitic troll Nick Fuentes, with him.
It was a triumphant moment: first, because West could not defend his views; second, because he showed true cowardice in leaving the set; third, because the snarky Fuentes demeaned himself by scurrying after his new benefactor.
Such is the fate of all bullies: punch back, or even stand up for yourselves, and they flee in terror. I could not imagine a better or mere deserving fate for Ye and crew. No one canceled them; given a platform, they canceled themselves.
It was a victory for America -- not just because hate lost, but because free speech won. Pool showed that debate is the best way to expose and undermine haters -- not cancel culture, which reinforces their victimhood and notoriety.
Obviously, one has to be careful when setting up such a debate; haters will not always be as easy to defeat. But today's haters are not used to being challenged; they create their own bubbles on social media. They cannot withstand scrutiny.
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"
