We will, power supply permitting, be broadcasting live from within Tropical Storm (no longer Hurricane) Hilary, right here in L.A. Right now it is raining and there are some wind gusts; hopefully we will be all right thru showtime this evening, although anything can happen.
We are looking forward to debate week, up in Milwaukee. I will be there on the ground, and in the spin room, throwing elbows as usual.
Some of my questions will be directed toward Republicans like Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who seem to think it's a great idea that some states could use (abuse) the 14th Amendment to push Trump off the ballot.
Meanwhile, in real news... the New York Times revealed that Hunter Biden was going to get off scot-free until whistleblowers came forward to complain about the way his case was being (mis)handled.
We'll talk about the 2nd anniversary of the Kabul, Afghanistan, airport bombing, which took place on August 26, 2021. We'll interview the "canceled" author, Scott Adams, about his new "reframing" book.
And... we'll interview one of the 19 defendants in the Georgia case against Trump, the one claiming he participated in "racketeering" to overturn the 2020 presidential election. A great show indeed...
With special guests:
Scott Adams - Dilbert creator and author of "Reframe Your Brain"
Jenna Ellis - former Trump lawyer, co-defendant in Georgia
Frances Martel - Breitbart News national security editor

This week’s portion tells the grand story of the prophet who tried to curse people of Israel and instead ended up blessing them.
I am reminded that these portions continue to be relevant anew, as this particular reading lent the title for Israel’s recent 12 Day War against Iran, “Operation Rising Lion.”
This week's portion includes the commandment of the red heifer -- one of the classic "irrational" commandments whose fulfillment is an expression of faith. It also includes the regrettable episode in which Moses strikes the rock.
I referred to this story in a wedding speech last night. Why was Moses punished for striking the rock in Numbers, when he struck the rock without incident in Exodus -- both for the purpose of providing water to the people?
The answer is that in the interim, the Jewish people had received the Torah, which is like the marriage contract between the people of Israel and God. In a marriage, you do not resolve things by breaking boundaries, but through love.
The additional reading, from Judges Chapter 11, is the story of Jephthah (Yiftach), a man whom the leaders spurn, but to whom they must turn to save the nation. The parallels to our present political circumstances are striking.
Shabbat Shalom and Happy Fourth of July!
