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? As of this morning, military action looked imminent in the Middle East. The US, China, and then European nations began urging their citizens to leave the region. Duane and I gamed out the potential for action, who might start it, and why it has been all but inevitable – for 47 years. Will Keir Starmer's interference on Diego Garcia impinge on our range of action?
We also discuss the serious questions surrounding yesterday's report from Reuters that the Biden-era DoJ intercepted a call between Donald Trump's current chief of staff and her attorney. Duane and I talk about the reverberations to come from this week's State of the Union address and the traps Trump successfully laid for radical Democrats. Finally, Paramount ended up the winner in the Warner Bros sweepstakes – so now what?
Be sure to watch it all, and extend the conversation in the comments!
