Wed, 27 Mar 2024 - 1659 - Joe Biden and his team throw Israel under the U.N. bus

Fri, 15 Mar 2024 - 1651 - To Red Line Or Not Red Line: Joe Biden’s Incoherence Strikes Again
On Saturday President Biden drew a red line around Hamas’ last refuge —in the Gazan city of Rafah— but Wednesday the president’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan blamed the media for creating the “red line.” Former Secretary Gates was right: Joe Biden has never gotten a major national security issue correct. When Gates first said that it was a decade ago. Biden is still striking out, again and again, and the incoherence is deeply troubling.

Thu, 14 Mar 2024 - 1650 - Alvin Bragg’s Show Trial
Former Assistant United States Attorney Andrew C. McCarthy joined Hugh for a deep dive into the political show trial of former President Donald Trump that gets underway in Manhattan on March 25 (barring some unforeseen interlocutory appeal based on the pending case about the extent of presidential immunity for conduct while president which is going to beard before the United States Supreme Court in late April.)

President Biden used the State of the Union to flail Israel and doubled down on Saturday in an interview with Jonathan Capehart.

The Michigan primary was essentially the last hurdle for both likely nominees, with Trump facing an open primary against Nikki Haley and President Biden facing Rashida Tlaib’s effort to rally support for Hamas by urging Democrats to vote “uncommitted.” Trump and Biden both romped with R turnout significantly higher than D. Mary Katharine Ham joined Hugh to discuss, plus Olivia Beavers on the federal government shutdown cliff approaching.

Mon, 19 Feb 2024 - 1632 - Bibi Blows Off Biden and Fani Fades: The Week In Review
Ben Domenech and Sarah Bedford join Hugh for the week in review which centered on Israel’s indifference to the infirm president, the Fani Willis meltdown, Russia’s new weapons, and the urgent need to pass the national security supplemental. If Speaker Johnson has the votes, he can attach H.R. 2 to what the Senate sent over and send it back, or he can nod at the discharge petition and watch that sail through. Either way is fine by me, but if we can agree that Russia’s new threat in space adds clarity to their status vis-a-vis us, let’s get the aid to Israel, Taiwan and Ukraine stat.
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Fri, 16 Feb 2024 - 1631 - Is Biden Betraying Israel?
On today’s show, Hugh talks with AEI’s Matt Continetti (who is also co-host of the “must listen” Commentary pod), Josh Kraushaar, former Senator Jim Talent, Noah Rothman, and Leland Vittert about Biden’s rapidly accelerating U-turn on supporting Israel, plus Hugh’s new column for Fox News on whether Senator Tom Cotton ought to be Donald Trump’s running mate.

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 - 1628 - Biden Should Resign

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Mon, 29 Jan 2024 - 1619 - Could Haley Beat Trump?
Could Nikki Haley actually beat Donald Trump for the nomination? Unlikely but possible, and the rush to say “No” suggests people who don’t follow politics closely. Trump is an enormous favorite, but…stuff happens. And a two-person race focuses on new issues. Hugh discusses this and is joined by guests Noah Rothman, Jim Talent, Mary Kissell, and Josh Kraushaar on the same subject.
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mon, 22 Jan 2024 - 1615 - Has former President Trump locked up the GOP nomination with his Iowa Avalanche?
Hugh talks about former President Trump’s appearance with Sean Hannity and Ambassador Haley’s CNN Townhall along with the realities of the polling. It is very difficult to see how any objective analyst doesn’t conclude Donald Trump is the prohibitive favorite to be the GOP nominee. Ben Domenech and Hugh discuss this reality as well as why the GOP must define 900 miles of Border Wall as a victory in the Supplemental negotiations and get that win or walk away. Plus, Sarah Bedford on the negotiations over the Wall and John Ondrasik’s new music video “OK."
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Fri, 19 Jan 2024 - 1614 - Ron DeSantis On The “Supplemental” That Joe Biden Wants
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis talks to Hugh Hewitt about his campaign, the proposed Biden-Schumer “deal” on the table and whether House and Senate GOP should reject it, as well as Chevron deference and why it matters so much that this made-up doctrine be consigned to the dustbin of Constitutional history.
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Thu, 18 Jan 2024 - 1613 - Build 900 Miles of Border Wall or Go Home Senate GOP
Hugh explains that the Senate GOP is close to blowing the 2024 election by proposing a “supplemental” funding deal for Israel (good), Ukraine (good) and “immigration law reform without a Wall” (awful.) The alleged Senate package is policy and political suicide coined by Senate staffers who never have to win elections. The Wall is 80% issue. If Democratic negotiators won’t agree to authorize it and appropriate the funds for its construction this year, walk away and run the election on that issue.

Wed, 17 Jan 2024 - 1612 - Trump Romps In Iowa, Carrying Every Demographic
Hugh reviews former President Trump’s sweeping victory in the Iowa Caucuses last night, with an emphasis on why Iowa’s vaunted “evangelicals” went for him —discussed in his FoxNews column here— and discusses the results with Senator Tom Cotton, Byron York, and David M. Drucker.

Tue, 16 Jan 2024 - 1611 - Trump looks to romp in Iowa

The pod will also bring you the arguments made by two of Israel’s advocates before the ICJ.
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Mon, 15 Jan 2024 - 1610 - War in Yemen, A Haley Surge, and the Border Wall
The U.S. and U.K. hit 60 targets overnight and President Biden —who made the Saudis stop their war against Houthis two years ago— did not make a televised statement. No surprise there as President Bumble racks up another national security fiasco and immigration negotiations are set to produce a bill that will fail unless a fully funded and authorized 900 miles of border wall are in it, with construction to be completed in 2024.

Tue, 09 Jan 2024 - 1606 - Fire SecDef Austin
It is an astonishing thing: The president did not know that the SecDef was in intensive care. This is just another example of the haplessness of Team Biden from top to Biden. Hugh reviews the fiasco as well as the latest news from Israel and the United States.
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Mon, 08 Jan 2024 - 1605 - Election 2024: The Main Things Must Stay The Main Things: National Security and The Constitution
Hugh argues that Americans are losing focus on what is the opening phase of at least a major regional war begun on 10/7 by the depraved barbarians —losing their focus because it’s been diverted by the (very) important stories of the anti-Semitism at Harvard, Penn, etc and of course the presidential election. Today’s pod points to Commentary’s pod (which should be a daily listen) and to news sources that should be in everyone’s email each morning, “News Items” and “Daily Chatter” substacks. If you listen to this pod and Commentary and you spend 20 minutes reading News Items and Daily Chatter every M-F you will be better informed than 95% of Americans and 99% of “journalists” who love horse races and polls but not facts.

Thu, 04 Jan 2024 - 1603 - Claudine Gay and “The Elemental Force” that is Donald Trump
On Tuesday’s Commentary podcast, John Podhoretz remarked on the “elemental force” that is Donald Trump but did not spend time on the sources of that force. In 2016, Peggy Noonan speculated that the “unprotected” in the U.S. were rising up in rebellion against the nation’s “protected.” Today Hugh spent most of his show discussing how the Claudine Gay debacle at Harvard is combining with other issues to fuel the anger of the unprotected and propel Trump forward again. He discusses with among others Salena Zito, Mary Katharine Ham, Jim Geraghty, and Congressman Mike Gallagher.
