The second weekend since the great Election Day victory brings some new excitement -- and some new controversies. Trump's latest Cabinet picks are causing both excitement and frustration -- we'll have the latest on the debate.
Also -- we're watching races closely, including several that are too close to call, and where Democrats are counting on late ballots -- or illegal ballots, in PA -- to win. We'll talk about that -- and how Democrats plan to oppose Trump 47.
We'll also talk about some other hidden conservative successes, such as defeating ranked-choice voting, which had allowed Democrats to win in Alaska.
Finally, we'll talk about faith and foreign policy. We'll speak with author Mark Judge about Jewish culture, and to Michael Lucci about China's rise. And I'll play some clips from my weekend interview with Mike Huckabee, where we discussed his recent appointment as ambassador to Israel.
Special guests:
Shawn Steel - Republican National Committeeman for Califorina
Ryan Walker - Heritage Action, on ranked-choice voting and PA Senate
Nick Gilbertson - Breitbart News reporter, on the PA Senate recount
Mark Judge - author, on the contributions of Jewish Americans
Michael Lucci - nonprofit founder, on how states are contributing to China

This week's Torah portion includes several laws about conduct in civic and personal life, the common theme of which is boundaries -- setting bounds to what one may do at home, at work, and even in the battlefield.
One noteworthy passage concerns Amalek, the evil nation that attacked the Children of Israel as they made their Exodus from slavery to freedom. Deuteronomy 25:17-19 commands Jews to obliterate Amalek's memory.
The South African government accused Israel of genocide on the basis of a story about Amalek in the Book of Samuel, in which King Saul was commanded to wipe out the entire evil Amalekite nation.
Because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quoted this week's portion -- "Remember what Amalek did to you" (25:17), the South African government claimed he was commanding soldiers to commit genocide.
It was an absurd and malevolent misreading of the Bible and of Jewish tradition. The commandment, as observed by Jews today, is to remember the evil of Amalek and fight ...
