We're back this week, after airing a special Fourth of July edition last week.
The week ahead should be interesting. The Senate (not the House) is back in session, and the big issue remains Biden's infrastructure plan. It's not clear what the future of that plan will be, since the bipartisan deal struck last month was undermined by Biden's insistence on passing a separate bill, the so-called "American Families Plan," which includes all of the things Democrats could not force into the deal -- and which they will bypass the filibuster to pass, using the "reconciliation" process (which will produce the opposite of reconciliation).
We have growing fears of a resurgence of the coronavirus, with the Delta variant becoming the dominant strain in many states. Already, public health experts are calling for (looking forward to?) more restrictions, and as the Biden administration defends its policy of going door-to-door to encourage vaccination, some "experts" are even suggesting making the unvaccinated suffer for their decision not to take the shot. If conservatives are supposedly the most reluctant to be vaccinated, will that kind of pressure work? Probably not.
Then there is the issue of the January 6 commission, to which House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) may nominate five Republicans. I'm not sure that's a good idea, given that the Democrats include some of the most divisive and untrustworthy people in Congress -- such as Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who led the first and second impeachment teams, respectively. But we'll take on the view of Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), who says that Republicans should play nice with the commission and dump Trump.
We'll welcome the following guests:
Desmond Lachman of AEI -- on Biden's spending plans, and inflation
Lt. Col. Dakota Wood of Heritage -- on Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan
Anthony Ruggiero of FDD - on Biden's attempt to revive the Iran deal
Kenny Xu, author of 'An Inconvenient Minority' -- on discrimination against Asian Americans
Jeff Brain of CloutHub -- to discuss Trump's lawsuit against Big Tech
This week, we are tackling two major areas of contention between the Trump administration and Democrat governors: fighting crime, and redistricting. The president is sending the National Guard to blue cities -- and blue states are trying to stamp out Republican representation. Is this a civil war situation?
Special guests:
- Bradley Jaye -- Breitbart News congressional correspondent, on redistricting
- Tom Manza, California Business and Industrial Alliance, on Gavin Newsom
- Jon Fleischman, veteran California political expert, on the special election
- Dan Backer, veteran political lawyer and consultant, on corruption
- DJ Mark Anthony, on a recent visit to Rome and visiting Pope Leo XIV

This week's portion is the last of the month of Av -- also known as Menachem (Comforter) Av -- which begins in mourning and ends in celebration and anticipation of the New Year and the process of repentance and renewal.
In a similar vein, the portion features Moses offering the Israelites a choice between a blessing and a curse. They are masters of their own fates: if they obey God's commandments, they receive the blessings -- and vice versa.
The key commandment is to reject idol worship. There is said to be something magnetic about the practice of worshiping idols in the new land, such that it would be constant moral battle, both individually and collectively, in the land.
Nowadays, according to Jewish tradition, humanity has lost the urge for idol worship (and the antidote, which is divine prophecy) -- but there are several near substitutes, such as lust or excessive appetites for worldly pleasures.
We are wired for compulsive behaviors, bad habits, and even addictions. These ...
