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 (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

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…

Breitbart News Sunday: show rundown (May 12, 2024)

This week, we'll honor the mothers among us -- and talk about the challenges of parenthood in general. We'll also talk about the ongoing crisis in the Middle East, and the way that the Biden Administration is undermining Israel.

We'll touch on the Trump trial in Manhattan, and the legal fight going ahead. What are the prospects of any kind of conviction, and what would it mean for Trump's electoral challenges? There will be a bit of Little League baseball as well!

Special guests:

Lee Smith - author, on Biden's attempt to sabotage Israel's war against Hamas
Alan Dershowitz - lawyer and scholar, on the Trump trial and Israel policy
Tim Carney - author, "Family Unfriendly," on parenting in American culture
Emma-Jo Morris - Breitbart News political editor, on expectant mothers

Weekly Torah reading: Kedoshim (Leviticus 19:1 - 20:27)

This week's portion is one in which God lays out a list of laws, overlapping with but expanding upon the Ten Commandments, necessary for the Israelites to be a "holy" nation. These include moral conventions and sexual prohibitions.

In Leviticus 18:32, we are told: "You shall rise before a venerable person and you shall respect the elderly, and you shall fear your God. I am the Lord." Standing up to respect someone honorable, or giving up a seat to the elderly, seems to be ordinary manners and common sense. But not everyone does that today.

Notably, the passage connects respecting the venerable, and the elderly, to respecting God. By respecting each other, we show our faith in God, and for the spark of godliness that exists in every human being created in God's image.
