Duke University professor and New York Times columnist Frank Bruni joined Hugh for an hour-plus conversation about Frank’s new and thought-provoking book “The Age of Grievance.” Much agreement between them and much disagreement but all done in a civil and sustained fashion.

On Wednesday of last week, President Biden imposed an arms embargo on Israel and has been buried by an avalanche of criticisms in the wake of his CNN announcement. Hugh reviews the key developments of the weekend and talks with Dan Senor of the “Call Me Back” podcast who hosted PM Netanyahu yesterday, plus Bethany Mandel, Jim Geraghty, Salena Zito, and former Congressman John Campbell. And a bonus discussion of umpires, good and bad. (The latter includes Hugh’s producer and co-host of the podcast “Look Through The Chaos” w/ Campbell)

Hugh, very reluctantly, discusses the NYC trial of former President Trump with Andrew C. McCarthy, former AUSA in the SDNY and the very best analyst of these proceedings anywhere. Hugh also talks with Mary Katharine Ham about how the trial is “playing” with suburban moms.

As Israel begins its Rafah operation, the United States cuts off the shipment of precision munitions (inexplicable if Israel is to continue to keep civilian casualties to a historical low for warfare.) Hugh reviews these developments and discussed them with Senator Tom Cotton, Bret Baier, Admiral James Stavridis (USN, Ret.) Byron York and David Drucker. Hugh also comments on his new Fox News column.
