Today is a very special day for me: it's my younger daughter's second birthday. She is a blessing and a delight. It's also ... a busy news day. Trump won the straw poll at the Turning Point conference, and RFK Jr. is causing enough problems for Biden that he's being attacked.
On that attack: it's garbage. RFK Jr. is being accused of saying that COVID-19 was engineered to spare Jews, presumably because the Jews were in charge. He said nothing of the sort: he said we need to be concerned about bioweapons that target certain groups, and that the differential impact of COVID-19 (scientifically supported) showed that such weapons could, in fact, be produced and were dangerous.
The people who spread the smear did it for clicks and laughs; they also intended to hurt Kennedy and help Biden. Not to defend Jews.
In fact, the antisemitic conspiracy theory that had to be made up to fill in for RFK Jr's lack of actual antisemitism was the only actual bit of antisemitism in the whole episode. Mazel tov to Team Outrage: you spread misinformation and bigotry for political points and yuks.
We'll talk about "Sound of Freedom," the independent hit film that dramatizes the effort to rescue child victims of human trafficking. Should it matter that the original story is not exactly as told? And what about the Hollywood actors' strike -- should we care at all?
Next -- we'll look at the week ahead. Israel's ceremonial president, Isaac Herzog, is going to speak to Congress and visit the White House. President Biden has yet to invite the country's elected leader, Benjamin Netanyahu. Is this just a ploy to divide and weaken Israel?
Democrats are seizing on the RFK Jr. moment: even though he's a fellow Democrat, he's a threat to Biden. But what about the bigots in their midst? Ilhan Omar is already boycotting Herzog -- who is a man of the left -- and Pramila Jayapal calls Israel a "racist" state.
All this plus the latest in the New York redistricting case, as Democrats try to use the courts -- which shut down their attempted gerrymander last year -- to win through the legislature what they could not win at the ballot box. And the latest from Wimbledon!

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"
