I was chatting with Stephen K. Bannon today before going on air on his "War Room" show -- the first time we had spoken since 2018. He asked whether anyone had approached me about joining the Trump administration (he seems sure Trump will win). I said no, but added, half-jokingly, that if Trump needed an ambassador to Israel, I'm his man. Steve laughed and said the confirmation hearings ought to be interesting, especially given my years on social media.
There was some speculation in 2016 about me being ambassador to South Africa, which I would have done, had it been offered to me (though it's a tough assignment and the Iranians tried to assassinate the person who took the job.)
Of course I'd love to be the ambassador to Israel. It sounds to me like the Trump people are, wisely, looking among more credentialed, and loyal, people. I'm a subject matter expert but I'm in California, and I have an independent streak.
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.

- Bradley Jaye - Breitbart News congressional correspondent, on the shutdown
