C-SPAN is known for giving politicians the opportunity to embarrass themselves without any prompting or spin necessary. Rep. Al Green (D-TX) obliged on Friday, in attempting to explain Critical Race Theory (CRT).
His arguments (and my commentaries/rebuttals):
1. CRT is about teaching what isn't taught about history, like the fact that slavery was unpleasant (does any school today teach otherwise?).
2. On the other hand, CRT is about teaching that today's country is beset by "systemic racism" (his examples are all fringe, like Nazis in Charlottesville).
3. We need a Department of Reconciliation, complete with a secretary and "undersecretaries" (wow, a massive patronage bureaucracy is the answer?).
Green notes that Africans sold fellow Africans into slavery, which is an unusual admission, but also completely irrelevant to CRT and the teaching thereof.
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"
