Kamala Harris was a terrible district attorney in San Francisco; an abusive and failed California Attorney General; a nonentity as a U.S. Senator; and an embarrassment as Vice President. Still, she may "fail up" once again.
First, the argument against her. She is, or was, a terrible campaigner in 2020, dropping out in 2019 before a singe primary vote was cast. She is an awful speaker, repeating vapid platitudes ("unburdened by what has been" ).
He has a record of radicalism and failure, from bailing out rioters (and joining them), to failing to stop the migration crisis at the southern border, to... the list just goes on forever. She has no proven ability to do anything whatsoever.
Still: she is black (and Indian) and female. Amid all the cackling about DEI and its failures, politics does not really care about qualifications for office. She represents a chance for a historic first, which Democrats will feel good about.
The party has united behind her and its fear of defeat will motivate it to fight harder, not to capitulate. That is as it should be: we are Americans, and we do not go down easily. This will be a close election and Trump's victory is uncertain.
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.
Special guests:
- Bradley Jaye - Breitbart News congressional correspondent, on the shutdown
- John Carney - Breitbart News financial editor, on the upcoming jobs report
- Jerome Hudson - Breitbart News entertainment editor, on the Kimmel fallout
- Frances Martel - Breitbart News foreign editor, on the UN and Gaza talks
- Matisyahu - award-winning reggae artist, on his new album, "Ancient Child"
