Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of you -- and I hope your Sunday is as good as mine has been. We have lots of news to talk about -- at home and abroad.
The primaries are wrapped up -- so Trump is going to get intelligence briefings (he was supposed to have been getting them already?). Democrats are using that to attack him -- and they have a new hoax: the claim that he called for a "bloodbath" if he loses in November (but he was actually talking about cars!).
Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden launched an extraordinary attack on Israel, in a week when Biden waived $10 billion in sanctions on Iran, and slapped sanctions on Israel, amid reports of "slow-walking" ammunition. What's going on?
Then we have more on St. Patrick's Day, immigration, the environment... just about anything you can think of. Oh, and March Madness is finally here. Can you be bothered with a bracket in the one part of sports not ruined by politics?
Special guests:
Matthew Boyle -- Breitbart News D.C. editor
Rich Goldberg -- Foundation for Defense of Democracies
Dylan Gwinn - Breitbart News sports editor
Neil Munro -- Breitbart News immigration editor

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 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

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 ...
