It's been an incredibly strong start to the Trump administration. They are fighting all the good fights, and Democrats are on the back foot -- though they seem to think filing lawsuits will pull them through, as it did last time.
We'll talk to Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy about the California high-speed rail boondoggle, and the upcoming audit of federal spending on it. It's a microcosm of failure in California governance that must be urgently fixed.
Next, we will get a recap of CPAC from our own political editor, Matthew Boyle, and review some of the progress made by the administration on key issues for conservatives, as well as on the "America First" foreign policy front.
We'll also take a look at the prospects of long-term conservative projects, such as the Convention of States. And we'll speak with an Israeli diplomat to discuss what's next in negotiations with Hamas -- after so much heartache last week.
Special guests:
Sean Duffy -- Secretary of Transportation, former member of Congress
Matt Boyle -- Breitbart News political editor, on CPAC and future prospects
Mark Meckler -- Convention of States, on conservative constitutional efforts
Anat Sultan-Dadon -- Israeli counsel general in Atlanta, on hostage deals

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 ...
