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 (September 29, 2024)

What a week it's been... my son was born last Sunday and we named him today: Rafael Micah Pollak. A symbol of life and continuity, amid the war of the past year -- and what a series of victories Israel and America can finally celebrate.

We begin with the latest on Hurricane Helene, which has left 64 dead in a trail of destruction across Florida and the South. Then the latest on Israel, which is on a roll against Hezbollah. Naturally, Biden wants a ceasefire, lest Israel win...

And that brings up China, a topic that never came up during the ABC debate, but which JD Vance should bring up this week in his debate with Tim Walz. We will talk to Gordon Chang about the big picture in U.S. foreign policy in 2024.

Also: what kind of prosecutor was Kamala Harris, really? Jeff Clark, a former DOJ official under Trump, has been doing some digging, and has come up with... nothing. It turns out she may never actually have led a case in court.

Special guests:

Jeff Clark - former DOJ official, on Kamala Harris's prosecutorial record
Lee Smith - author, on Israel's successful war against Hezbollah, and Iran
Gordon Chang, author of “China’s Project to Destroy America”

This is what is left of my special place in the forest

Burned, then covered in mudslides and rockslides. The river still flows through it. But we have lost so much. I have to believe the spirit still lives on.

Breitbart News Sunday; show rundown (October 5, 2025)

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.

Weekly Torah reading: Ha'azinu (Deuteronomy 32:1-52)

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."

Breitbart News Sunday: September 28, 2028

  • 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"
