Jeffrey Toobin is one of the more obnoxious talking heads on CNN. He lost his job at the New Yorker for masturbating while on a company Zoom call, much to the shock and horror of his colleagues. He was suspended by CNN but returned today. I don't really care about Toobin's professional fate; the New Yorker is an awful rag anyway, whose pretentious writers are now on strike or something; and CNN's credibility can hardly be dented any further. The one interesting note is that Toobin was one of the villains of the Weinergate saga, which took place almost exactly ten years ago, and which my old college Larry O'Connor memorably recalled this week. When Andrew Breitbart suggested that he had evidence Weiner was involved in sexting young girls, Toobin called the claim "outrageous," which to my mind sounded like he was trying to help Weiner develop a claim for defamation. We all know how that turned out.
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.
