Here's the backstage interview I had with Larry Elder (R), who is leading polls among contenders to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) in the California recall.

I wrote up the interview at Breitbart News (link below).
My impression is that there is a very strong groundswell of support for the recall generally, and for Elder in particular. I don't know if it feels like a win for Elder yet, but you see a lot of things falling into place that make the incumbent look bad -- the pandemic, the wildfires, the drought, the state audit, and now Afghanistan (which is about the incompetence of the economy generally). In my experience, the late appearance of news events that seem to line up with the opposition's view tends to signal a change in government. But Newsom has the money and the machine to turn out -- or "harvest" -- the votes to win.
So, we shall see. I can say this: Elder filled a room with hundreds of supporters.
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.
