Welcome to our VIP feature for Hot Air as well as a members-only show in the Hughniverse! Duane Patterson and I now are doing a Week in Review show for Friday evenings, exclusive to members in both platforms. Duane has been the Generalissimo behind the Hugh Hewitt Show for more than two decades, and we have partnered on weekly commentary since 2007. And don't miss Duane's new podcast series and platform, Duane's World!
What stories topped your priority lists this week? The surprising result of the Vatican conclave dominated the news over the last couple of days. How did the media report it? Badly, both Duane and I conclude. We discuss what we might expect from the Pope Leo XIV pontificate, and what neither of us expect from media coverage of it: informed analysis. We also talk about the upcoming conclave in the Swiss-tine chapel, and why China may need to cut a deal soon. Will Donald Trump hang tough on tariffs, or will he leverage them to address other concerns on fair trade and labor practices? Plus, we keep up with the Left's ongoing war with John Fetterman, and more!
Be sure to watch it all, and extend the conversation in the comments!
