The Biden administration, the Democrats, and the media continue to treat Trump as if he were an "anomaly," in the words of PBS's Yamiche Alcindor. They will not acknowledge that there was public dissatisfaction with the status quo under Obama/Biden/Clinton and the center-left establishment; nor will they acknowledge Trump's successes, because to do so would mean to legitimize his presidency, and hence the public dissatisfaction, etc. In fact, the operating principle in the Biden Administration seems to be that if Trump did it, it was wrong. Hence Secretary of State Tony Blinken's refusal to confirm that the U.S. still recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, as Trump did (https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2021/06/07/watch-tony-blinken-declines-to-confirm-israeli-sovereignty-over-golan-heights/). This insistence on treating Trump's four years as an "anomaly" means that Biden will struggle to embrace successful policies that could help him be a more effective leader. But I do give some of the blame here to Trump -- let's say 5% -- because he could have used the post-election period defending his legacy (especially in the Georgia Senate runoffs) instead of contesting the past election, once the Electoral College had voted in mid-December. The events of January 6 are being exploited in an effort to erase the previous four years. They can't quite negate Trump's successes. But they are doing their best to ignore them. They are due for another reckoning -- and meanwhile, we suffer the consequences of their inability to see past their own prejudices, pride, and political interests.
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
Special guests:
- Bradley Jaye - Breitbart News congressional correspondent, on the shutdown
- John Carney - Breitbart News financial editor, on the upcoming jobs report
- Jerome Hudson - Breitbart News entertainment editor, on the Kimmel fallout
- Frances Martel - Breitbart News foreign editor, on the UN and Gaza talks
- Matisyahu - award-winning reggae artist, on his new album, "Ancient Child"
