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 portion tells the grand story of the prophet who tried to curse people of Israel and instead ended up blessing them.
I am reminded that these portions continue to be relevant anew, as this particular reading lent the title for Israel’s recent 12 Day War against Iran, “Operation Rising Lion.”
This week's portion includes the commandment of the red heifer -- one of the classic "irrational" commandments whose fulfillment is an expression of faith. It also includes the regrettable episode in which Moses strikes the rock.
I referred to this story in a wedding speech last night. Why was Moses punished for striking the rock in Numbers, when he struck the rock without incident in Exodus -- both for the purpose of providing water to the people?
The answer is that in the interim, the Jewish people had received the Torah, which is like the marriage contract between the people of Israel and God. In a marriage, you do not resolve things by breaking boundaries, but through love.
The additional reading, from Judges Chapter 11, is the story of Jephthah (Yiftach), a man whom the leaders spurn, but to whom they must turn to save the nation. The parallels to our present political circumstances are striking.
Shabbat Shalom and Happy Fourth of July!
