I spent 48 hours in New York City. And while it's true that the city is suffering worse crime, an exodus of residents, collapsing schools, and infrastructure decay... it feels a lot better than it did a year ago.
I was in the city a year ago. It was hot, humid, and empty. This year, it was hot, humid, and full of life. The tourists were back; the locals were back; the restaurants were full; the parks teemed with people.
It's true -- left-wing misgovernance is ruining New York, San Fran, and so many other places. But Americans don't seem ready to give up on our cities just yet. We want the thrill, the fun, the excitement.
I love being conservative. But I don't want to believe that means I have to live in a different kind of place -- more decentralized, and more independent.
I get why people like that. I just love the cities.
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"
