Breitbart News Sunday: show rundown (April 14, 2024)

I'm coming to you LIVE from northern Israel, near the border with Lebanon, where I witnessed the Iranian attack on Israel and the incredible Israeli response. I've been here for nearly a week, covering the war and writing about Israeli water policy, and it's important for me to bring the reality of Israel to you. Israel is strong, resilient, and fighting for the values in which you and I believe.

Alan Dershowitz - defense lawyer, constitutional scholar, and defender of Israel
Matisyahu - award-winning Jewish reggae singer/songwriter

This is for an apricot hamantaschen filling…

The rushing waterfalls after the rain

The rain stopped in L.A. this morning after several days. A few hours later, I decided to check out a local trail that is usually dry. I was amazed…

UCLA vigilantism was completely predictable, and predicted

On Tuesday, I told a colleague that after several visits to UCLA's campus this week and last week, it was possible that a group of pro-Israel people would lose patience with the university and simply storm the "Palestine" encampment.

I joked that L.A. Jews weren't Ashkenazi intellectuals like me, but rather Persian Jews who fled the Iranian revolution. As one sign at the pro-Israel counter-protest Sunday at UCLA said: "My parents didn't leave Iran for this shit."

Insert compulsory condemnation of vigilantism here, but note that it was only the arrival of the vigilantes that triggered local and state law enforcement to do anything, after letting the thugs at the encampment bully people for days.

Local media are picking up the activists' mantra that police took too long to arrive at the scene of the battles overnight. No -- police were told to stand down from the moment the encampment arrived. UCLA coddled the thugs.

Jews lived through a version of 1930s Germany as the thugs, running security ...

Happy Passover

Last two days of Passover... I'll be back Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning.

Breitbart News Sunday: show rundown (April 28, 2024)

I'm fresh from the front lines of protest -- the "encampment" at UCLA -- and I'll have a lot to say about what's going on on campuses around the nation, as a generation of radical activists is, generally, being allowed to destroy education.

Or was education destroyed already? Isn't that how we got to this point?

I'll also introduce an excerpt from my audiobook, "The Trumpian Virtues." It describes the unique characteristics that made Trump's first term successful. I will probably play a chapter every week for the next few months, if you like it.

Special guests:

  • Carolyn Siegel - founder of "If You Heard What I Heard" Holocaust memoir
  • Rahul Sur - pro-Israel Hindu activist, on the imposition of sharia law
