Former President Donald Trump has attacked former Attorney General Bill Barr and former Vice President Mike Pence for refusing to do more to stop Democrats from "stealing" the 2020 election. Both were loyal to Trump, but not to him personally; rather, they were loyal to Trump when he was clearly defending the Constitution. When he began casting about for a way to reverse the outcome of the 2020 election, they had to choose, and they chose well.
The 2020 election was neither free nor fair, but it was probably not fraudulent, at least on a scale that mattered. That was partly because Democrats legalized what would once have been fraudulent. If Barr did not investigate voter fraud, that is because there probably wasn't any serious enough to rise to the level of a federal crime. The bigger issues were new voting rules -- some of which were passed by Republicans -- and violence, and media/tech censorship, and so on.
Trump is at his best when he is articulating the case against Biden and the far-left that dominates the Biden presidency. He did that in his speech Saturday night. No one else does it better, which is why he is still the effective leader of the Republican Party. But Trump is at his worst when he lets the media bait him into bashing former aides and associates, as happened on this occasion with Barr. People want to fight the battles of the future, not the election of 2020.
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
