The Supreme Court handed down its final decisions of the term this week, right before the Fourth of July weekend. And they were overwhelming wins for conservatives on significant issues of constitutional principle.
The Court unanimously upheld religious liberty in employment law. It also struck down affirmative action, upheld free-speech on matters of faith involving same-sex relationships, and struck down President Biden’s absurd student loan transfer program.
In so doing, it upheld the 1st amendment, the 14th amendment, and the separation of powers generally.
I feel somewhat elated about these decisions. They go at least a small way toward restoring the constitutional structure of our political life. The affirmative action decision in particular is a rejection of identity politics that will have resounding positive effects for our society. Now we can begin the real task of improving education for the poor, starting with reducing the stranglehold the teachers unions have over education policy.
Our country is not in the best shape right now, at home or abroad, but we are heading into this Independence Day with new hope. These were victories, not just for conservatives, but for the country – even if the left won’t quite admit it openly yet.
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"
