Hugh was joined this AM by the new Chairman of the Republican National Committee Michael Whatley. Hugh discusses Israel’s war in Gaza and the one looming in Lebanon with Ambassador Michael Oren, Noah Rothman, and Josh Kraushaar. Plus, a wonderful Easter poem from Tarzana Joe. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Hard on Joe Biden betraying Israel at the UN, NBC betrays Ronna McDaniel who more than anyone else is responsible for the debate the co-hosted and the attempt to rehabilitate a news division tainted by NBC. Plus, Jonathan Haidt on his new best-seller “The Anxious Generation.” See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The U.S. threw Israel under the U.N. Bus yesterday and not surprisingly Hamas then rejected the U.S. hostage deal which the U.S. had jammed down Israel’s throat. Another stellar display of incompetence by Team Biden. Plus: MSNBC melts down as a conservative, Ronna McDaniel, gets hired. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Dan Senor, host of the “Call Me Pod,” Bethany Mandel and Salena Zito are my guests as we talk about Israel, the war in Gaza (and maybe soon in Lebanon) and the VP who “studied the maps." See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Hugh plays portions of Ambassador Ron Dermer’s interview with Dan Senor and reviews all that is happening in Gaza. Plus, Ben Domenech and Sarah Bedford on the real opening of Campaign 2024 between Biden and Trump, and Sonny Bunch on Dune.

On Saturday President Biden drew a red line around Hamas’ last refuge —in the Gazan city of Rafah— but Wednesday the president’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan blamed the media for creating the “red line.” Former Secretary Gates was right: Joe Biden has never gotten a major national security issue correct. When Gates first said that it was a decade ago. Biden is still striking out, again and again, and the incoherence is deeply troubling. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Former Assistant United States Attorney Andrew C. McCarthy joined Hugh for a deep dive into the political show trial of former President Donald Trump that gets underway in Manhattan on March 25 (barring some unforeseen interlocutory appeal based on the pending case about the extent of presidential immunity for conduct while president which is going to beard before the United States Supreme Court in late April.) Bragg’s case is a show trial of a particularly repugnant sort, the first ever in American history of the leading opposition party candidate, and Andy McCarthy is the go-to analyst for this case. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Hugh reviews tomorrow’s vote in the House on a bill to ban or force the sale of TikTok and discusses it with Senator Tom Cotton and David Drucker.

President Biden used the State of the Union to flail Israel and doubled down on Saturday in an interview with Jonathan Capehart. Ambassador Oren responded to Hugh at length today and in direct fashion, stripped of the diplomatic niceties. Biden's growing infirmity should not be allowed to undercut Israel. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Haviv Rettig Gur, senior analyst for the Times of Israel, joined Hugh for the first hour of today’s show to provide an Israeli’s response to President Biden’s State of the Union speech, plus a summary reaction from Ben Domenech, editor-at-large of The Spectator and Fox News Contributor.

Mike Garcia of CA's 27th district, and Mike Davis, founder of The Article III Project. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hugh is joined by the Times of Israel's Haviv Rettig Gur, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Senator Tom Cotton, and Bret Baier. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
President Biden and former President Trump will romp tomorrow but there’s some hope for Ambassador Haley coming off her first win in the D.C. primary yesterday. Hugh covers the news and talks with Salena Zito, Bethany Mandel, and former Congressman John Campbell as he opens up what is likely to be the last significant day in voting news until November. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ben Domenech joined Hugh to discuss the best GOP legislative leader of Hugh’s lifetime and the decision of SCOTUS to take the presidential immunity case, plus Sarah Bedford, Phil Balboni, Sonny Bunch on Dune, and Tarzana Joe on a “Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit” March 1 show. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Hugh’s new FoxNews.com column https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/morning-glory-offer-they-cant-refuse stresses how House Republicans can move the Supplemental and contrast their seriousness on immigration issues to the Democrats’ incoherence on the issue, plus a salute to Senator Mitch McConnell, a look at the Supreme Court’s decision to take up former President Trump’s appeal of the D.C. Circuit’s ruling on presidential immunity, and a chat with Chairman Gallagher about his trip to Taiwan. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Michigan primary was essentially the last hurdle for both likely nominees, with Trump facing an open primary against Nikki Haley and President Biden facing Rashida Tlaib’s effort to rally support for Hamas by urging Democrats to vote “uncommitted.” Trump and Biden both romped with R turnout significantly higher than D. Mary Katharine Ham joined Hugh to discuss, plus Olivia Beavers on the federal government shutdown cliff approaching. See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

See omnystudio.com/listener https://omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Donald Trump wins big in South Carolina and that’s three-in-a-row for the former president. Hugh talks about that plus today’s argument at SCOTUS over Big Tech and the States. Also on the show today: Jim Geraghty, Salena Zito, Bethany Mandel, and Joe Pickett’s creator C.J. Box is back talking about “Three-Inch Teeth” his brand new best-seller.

Then you should listen to Hugh today because he did too so you’d have fresh content on this Monday.
