I will share my thoughts about American politics, as well as current events in Israel and elsewhere, based on my experiences in the U.S., South Africa, and the Middle East. I will also discuss books and popular culture from the perspective of a somewhat libertarian, religiously observant conservative living in California. I will also share art and ideas that I find useful and helpful, and link to my content at Breitbart News, Amazon, and elsewhere.

Breitbart News Sunday: show rundown (July 27, 2025)

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 midterms
John Carney - Breitbart News financial editor, on trade and the economy

This is what is left of my special place in the forest

Burned, then covered in mudslides and rockslides. The river still flows through it. But we have lost so much. I have to believe the spirit still lives on.

Weekly Torah reading: Eikev (Deuteronomy 7:12 - 11:25)

This week's portion is one of several in Deuteronomy in which Moses lays out the rewards for keeping God's commandments, and the punishments for not doing so, upon entering into the Land of Israel and dwelling therein.

Three points stand out: one, that Moses begins with the blessings, not the curses; two, that he admonishes the Israelites not to think their future success comes from their own efforts; and three, that this is a rain-watered land.

Unlike Egypt, Moses says, where the Nile causes crops to grow almost without effort, rain-dependent Israel requires careful attention, cultivation, and planning. It also requires a spiritual mindset attuned to heaven, not earth.

Breitbart News Sunday: show rundown (August 10, 2025)

Back in DC, and while summer is slowing down, we are picking up the pace!

We'll start by speaking to Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow about his new book, "Breaking the Law," documenting the Democrats' lawfare system.

Next, we'll talk about the recent Armenia-Azerbaijan peace deal, and the forthcoming meeting between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska -- what might its prospects be?

We'll talk about the gerrymandering fight; the NFL/ESPN deal; and the return to campus, plus the ongoing effort to demonize Israel for having the chutzpah to fight terrorists who continue to hold Israeli hostages and plan attacks.

With:
