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.
What stories topped your priority lists this week? Interestingly, we don't spend much time on Iran, which has dominated our weekly episodes for months, since little has changed of late. Donald Trump's announcement that talks will continue without the ceasefire or MOU in place gets a brief mention.
Instead, today Duane and I discuss radicalization in the Democrat Party on several fronts. We discussed the breaking news this morning that Tim Walz' attempt to keep a child rapist on the streets of Minnesota ended in failure, as Marco Rubio stripped Tou Vang of his immigration status despite Walz' pardon. What possessed the Democrats' nominee for VP to attempt to protect a child molester against the legitimate enforcement of immigration law?
Of course, we then spent much of our time discussing Maine Kampf – the meltdown of Graham Platner's campaign and the humiliation of Democrats across the country. Why did Democrats stand by their Nazi-tatted, Kik-creeping man this long? And what happens now? Duane and I game out the potential developments and what it means for the Senate election in Maine. That leads us to discussing developments in Michigan and Texas as well, and why Democrats' full-scale embrace of socialism and wokery has created an intersectionalist crisis in the party.
Finally, we spend a little time on developments from the Tyler Robinson hearing this week. It's not looking good for the accused in Charlie Kirk's assassination, and it's looking almost as bad for Candace Owens and the gang of conspiracy-theory idiots attempting to make bank off of it.
Be sure to watch it all, and extend the conversation in the comments!
