The Ed Morrissey Show will be pre-empted all week as I guest host for Hugh Hewitt on the Salem Radio Network, from Hugh’s studio in Southern California. My main mission this week has been covering the Pittsburgh Steelers’ training camp in anticipation of their march to their seventh Super Bowl title, but we’ll try squeezing in a little current affairs and politics topics as well. I’m preparing for all events in my final appearance, as you can see …

We have another great line-up for today:

• NBC’s Chuck Todd on today’s developments in Washington on immigration and Israel
• Peter Berkowitz, founder and director of the Israel Program on Constitutional Government and a member of the Ethics and Public Policy Center on the Middle East
• Katie Pavlich tells us about AG Eric Holder’s loss in court on Fast & Furious documents yesterday
• David Drucker of the Washington Examiner on today’s developments on immigration
• Caroline Glick tells us how to defeat Hamas, and her new book The Israeli Solution

Adam Baldwin, star of the hit new TNT series The Last Ship, joins us by phone today rather than in studio as we had earlier announced. We’ll talk to him about his new show and about the impact on American prestige and power of the various crises erupting around the world. We’ll also take your calls at 800-520-1234!  Be sure to join the Hughniverse to watch the show live on streaming video, or tune in to your local Salem affiliate to hear it in the air, starting at 6 ET.
