SECOND UPDATE: Show is to be replaced this evening by a special program! Somehow I missed the memo! So, I won't be on tonight. Apologies to all concerned.
UPDATE: We will now add the passing of Jimmy Carter to the program...
Today is the last show of 2024 -- and it's been an incredible year. So many troubles in the world -- but so many miracles, too, and a change to make things right again. In the spirit of the show, we'll look forward, and not backward.
We'll start with what to expect this week and next: the new Congress, the first confirmation hearings, the drama over certifying Trump as the president-elect on January 6, and the plans for the Inauguration (I'll be there, hopefully).
Then we'll go through Trump's agenda. What is going on with the debate over immigration? Does it mean the MAGA movement has split on the cusp of taking power -- or is it a sign of a vigorous and healthy internal debate?
I'll walk through what Trump's agenda for his first 100 days could mean. You've seen (or read) my suggestions for Trump's agenda. We'll talk about what is realistic to expect, as well as what may have changed in recent weeks.
It's going to be three hours of me -- no guests -- so I hope you enjoy it! I'm looking forward to sharing my thoughts with you and hearing from you about yours -- if you're not watching football on this wintry Sunday evening.
Tune in: SiriusXM Patriot 125, 7-10 p.m. ET, 4-7 p.m. PT

I should have noted in my message about the weekly Torah portion that this week is Shabbat Chazon, the Sabbath of Vision. We are about to mourn -- but see through that pain to something better that lies beyond, on the other side.
Wishing you the best vision -- and an incredible reality to follow. It happens!
We begin the final speech of Moses to the people of Israel before they enter the Promised Land. He relates the ups and downs of the years of wandering in the desert, before, finally, the people have the merit to enter the land itself.
This Sabbath always precedes Tisha B'Av, the Ninth of Av, the saddest day on the Jewish calendar. It is the anniversary of the destruction of both of the Holy Temples, and a catch-all for many calamities that befell the Jewish people.
A word on Tisha B'Av. This year I am leaving for an overseas trip during the afternoon of the holiday -- in the middle of a fast day. Not idea, but there was no other choice. But my flight is in the afternoon, which is significant.
We relax some of the harsh, mournful customs of the day in the afternoon. We start to pray normally; we sit on regular chairs; we start to have hope again in the redemption that will, one day, lead us all back from exile to our home.
I'll be taking a trip to a land where an important part of ...
President Trump is in Scotland, playing golf and making big trade deals -- a major deal with the EU, in fact. Meanwhile, there is a global outcry about humanitarian aid to Palestinians (not about the Israeli hostages, mind you).
On top of that, Democrats are at their lowest polling numbers ever -- so they are trying to win control of the House by redistricting in the middle of a 10-year Census cycle. Oh, economic optimism is up, so they have a tough road.
And Tulsi Gabbard's revelations about the Russia collusion investigation make it clear that Obama's lieutenants lied to Congress. How deeply was he himself involved? The media continue to ignore the evidence, but we certainly won't.
Special guests:
Nick Gilbertson - Breitbart News White House correspondent, on EU deal
Frances Martel - Breitbart News foreign editor, on Trump abroad and Russia
John Spencer - urban warfare expert, on humanitarian aid and war in Gaza
Bradley Jaye - Breitbart News congressional correspondent, on the ...
