In Search of Conversation (T.D.S. Explained)

3 days ago | hughhewitt.com | John Schroeder

I am on my third book recounting the POTUS election cycle. One thing is very clear. The Biden White House, and the Biden/Harris campaign, lived deep inside a bubble, almost completely out-of-touch with reality. They missed clue after clue after clue about what was happening amongst voters. It is still going on as so much of media continues with the “Can you believe Trump…?” stories while America is enjoying what is happening. Yesterday was a very long day for your intrepid commentator.
Money, Media and Politics

Reports are that “Biden, Inc.” is out of cash flow – that the reason we are seeing a broken-down, incoherent Joe out in public is because it is the only way the Biden family group knows to generate the income they need to afford their extravagant lifestyle. Harry Truman left the White House quite literally broke and so Congress created a presidential pension – a quite generous one at that.
Whose Fault Is It?

This is fascinating. It is an article retelling an interview with then relevant band R.E.M. in which band member are quite discontent with the state of America and particularly its politics. One of them calls for the assassination of George H.W. Bush. What were their reasons? Said Peter Buck of the group:“I hate this country, I really hate America,” he continued. “We’ve turned into such selfish bastards. He is ranting about the Reagan tax cuts and Bush’s no new taxes pledge.
The Church and Class Warfare

D.E.I. has gotten way, way out of hand and it is good to see the Trump administration’s efforts to rein it in. It is often about race, but almost equally often that has imposed on it an economic differentiation element to the point that one must ask whether its really about racial equality or economic equality (socialism.) In the story just linked they talk a lot about black and white, but it concerns Skokie.

Learning Is Dead

I am astonished daily as, despite the last election, media and liberals and Democrats have slipped into the same patterns as Trump 1.0. The formula that seemed to bring them victory in 2020, was clearly signaled as a loser in 2024, but here they are trying to run the same playbook again. They seem incapable of learning. But then California….
Disparate Stories, Common Focus

Two stories caught my eye this morning that seem like they have nothing in common, but…. The first is The Free Press on the suicide rate among Chicago Police. It is really a story about the personal cost when the Rule of Law is eroded. Cops in Chicago cannot be cops, they cannot enforce the law because the law does not matter so much as a thousand considerations, mostly political in nature.

President Trump returned to the program today:Audio:05-07hhs-trumpTranscript:HH: Mr. President, welcome back to the Hugh Hewitt Show. Thank you for spending time with me today. DJT: Well, thank you. HH: I have just finished reading Matt Continetti’s review of your speech at the University of Alabama. DJT: Ah, thank you. HH: It sounds like it was a big success, and Continetti, who I think is at least as influential as any other conservative out there, loved it. DJT: He’s great. HH: Did you expect that?
AI: Utility v Craft

1 week ago | hughhewitt.com | John Schroeder

People’s thoughts on AI are all over the map these days. People fear Skynet (the villain of the Terminator movies) or H.A.L. (the AI computer that goes a little insane on a trip to Jupiter and kills a spaceship crew in 2001: A Space Odyssey.) In reality we are far from such things. AI is a tool, and as with all tools it requires a new way of thinking about how to do a task in order to properly use the tool. Therein lies the rub. Is the new way of thinking a better way?
Rhetoric and Reality

This morning, over at The Free Press, regular guest of the show Matthew Continetti distills a recent commencement address given by Donald Trump into Trump’s ten bits of advice to the young. The biggest revelation is that there is significant and worthy substance behind Trump’s bombastic and sometimes highly repetitive speech.
