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? Shutdown Chuck's booted strategy for the Schumer Shutdown takes up much of our episode, as does the federal government's reboot after Republicans and Donald Trump finally outmuscled Schumer. We talk about the media's desperate attempts to distract from this Democrat debacle by promoting Democrat spin on the Epstein Files -- which, to be fair, is a self-inflicted wound on Republicans to some extent. We also discuss the way in which Zohran Mamdani has started to assert his power within Democrat strategic circles, and what that means. Finally, the "No Kings" movement took a particularly idiotic turn this week, complete with actual bootlicking, and the attempts to cast an Internet troll into the starring role in a revival of Camelot. Profiles in Trollage, indeed.
Be sure to watch it all, and extend the conversation in the comments!
