It's Oscar night; does anyone care? Well, there are a few parties in L.A., but the real drama has been in the White House, with the exciting, entertaining, frustrating, and ultimately history-making confrontation with Zelensky.
We'll talk about that -- plus the latest effort by the anti-Israel left to foment chaos on campus. Columbia and Barnard are lighting up -- just as Leo Terrell and the DOJ's new antisemitism task force are descending on universities.
We'll also talk about how USAID is funding terror -- which doesn't mean that every USAID program is bad, but it does point to the left-wing capture at that department, run until recently by partisan Obama acolyte Samantha Power.
Finally, we'll talk about the Oscars, as we remember the influence of Andrew Breitbart, whose passing we marked yesterday. 13 years later, his legacy grows stronger, as Americans are seeing through Hollywood and the media.
Special guests:
Frances Martel -- Breitbart News foreign policy editor, on Trump/Zelensky
Zach Greenberg -- FIRE counsel, on the campus protests at Columbia/Barnard
Gregg Roman -- Middle East Forum executive director, on USAID and terror
Jerome Hudson -- Breitbart News entertainment editor, on the Oscars

- The fight against crime
- The midterm election fight
- The struggle for peace between Russia and Ukraine
- The airstrike on the Venezuelan drug cartel

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 ...
