I will share my thoughts about American politics, as well as current events in Israel and elsewhere, based on my experiences in the U.S., South Africa, and the Middle East. I will also discuss books and popular culture from the perspective of a somewhat libertarian, religiously observant conservative living in California. I will also share art and ideas that I find useful and helpful, and link to my content at Breitbart News, Amazon, and elsewhere.

Breitbart News Sunday: show rundown (August 6, 2023)

It's finally here -- the hottest month of summer, and also the point at which the days start to become noticeably shorter. By the end of the month, there'll be a chill in the air in some places, with the leaves changing color in northern extremes of the continental U.S....

...and the presidential race will be well under way. Thanks to the Biden Administration, it will be the first-ever election in which a major presidential candidate will be targeted by prosecutors -- not for any actual crimes, but for political views and process infractions.

The judge in the case, Tanya Chutkin, is a die-hard leftist who thinks an "insurrection" happened on January 6. She is entertaining a crazy gag order from Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is using a "Truth" post from Trump as a pretext to turn off his political megaphone.

We haven't seen anything like this. So it's scary. On the other hand... the U.S. national women's soccer team crashed out of the World Cup. We're not supposed to be glad about that -- and I hate to see the U.S. lose at anything -- but Megan Rapinoe is partly to blame, so...

Meanwhile, the Devon Archer testimony confirms everything that Trump claimed in 2019 about the Bidens. Had he been allowed to testify at the impeachment inquiry, Trump may never have been impeached and Biden may never have been president. We'll discuss.

Special guests:

Emma-Jo Morris - Breitbart News political editor, on Hunter Biden
Dylan Gwinn - Breitbart News sports editor, on Rapinoe and the NFL
Alan Dershowitz -- noted legal scholar, on Jack Smith's misconduct

This is what is left of my special place in the forest

Burned, then covered in mudslides and rockslides. The river still flows through it. But we have lost so much. I have to believe the spirit still lives on.

Breitbart News Sunday: show clock (September 7, 2023)

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

Weekly Torah reading: Ki Teitzei (Deuteronomy 21:10 - 25:19)

This week's Torah portion includes several laws about conduct in civic and personal life, the common theme of which is boundaries -- setting bounds to what one may do at home, at work, and even in the battlefield.

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 ...
