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? I hate to say I told you so, but ... naah, I love to say I told you so about the DHS funding strategy. Duane and I debate that for a while before we get to Donald Trump's speech last night on Iran. Did he hit the mark, and will he need to keep hitting it? Duane and I also game out the options, especially when it comes to forcing open the Strait of Hormuz – and keeping it open.
Trump also seems to be Tuckered out, as in sick and tired of Tucker Carlson and his conspiracy-theory mongering. We also inadvertently previewed the firing of Pam Bondi a few hours before it became official. Duane thinks that Lee Zeldin will get the nod as her replacement. The scandal around Kristi Noem also comes up for a brief discussion, as does the oral arguments on birthright citizenship. And is Eric Swalwell really avoiding his tax bills?
Be sure to watch it all, and extend the conversation in the comments!
