President Biden went to Japan and trashed the GOP on foreign soil. It used to be taboo to do that. But it's all about positioning ahead of the ongoing debt limit talks. What lies in store? What happens if we hit the ceiling? Who knows!
We'll also talk about the effort to ban AM radio in new electric cars. Is it really about electromagnetic interference with the battery? Or is it an attempt to quash one of the few media dominated by conservatives? We'll discuss.
There's also news from Ukraine, and the financial markets, where Bitcoin enthusiasts had a major conference this weekend. RFK Jr. spoke there, and spoke well; Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) jumped in on the Republican side.
Join us to discuss these issues with our special guests:
- Brendan Carr -- FCC Commissioner
- Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) -- first-term representative from NY 24th
- Jessica Vaugn -- model, photographer, pundit, and Bitcoin fan

This week's show will be slightly different from the norm: we'll focus on clips and topics, rather than guests -- and that, hopefully, will mean more input from the callers (unless you are all watching football on opening weekend).
Topics:
- The state of the economy
- The fight against crime
- The midterm election fight
- The struggle for peace between Russia and Ukraine
- The airstrike on the Venezuelan drug cartel
- The attempt to sink Kennedy
- The war in Gaza
- The case against Harvard
- The Trump presidency

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 ...
