Hewitt – Hour 1 New York Post columnist John Podhoretz gave us an update on the single engine plane crash into a Manhattan condomium high-rise today. Later in the hour, Hugh raised the idea of creating a national security academy, so that we can begin to teach younger people how to effectively fight and win the war on terror.
Minneapolis Star Tribune political beat reporter Eric Black returned for round 2 today. Hewitt Vs. Black II: The Curse of the L Word.
Lie or no lie…that was one of many questions in this epic follow up interview with Minneapolis Star Tribune political beat reporter, Eric Black.
Lots of caller reaction to the Eric Brown interview during the first two hours.
After almost two hours of experts on the nuclear crisis building in North Korea, it was time to hear from the listeners.
Lots of experts discussed the latest developments out of North Korea. Military documentarian Robert Kaplan, author of a great article in the Atlantic Monthly on North Korea, started the hour with Hugh. He was followed by retired Army Colonel Austin Bay, House Rules Committee Chairman David Dreier, and Foundation For the Defense of Democracies Fellow, Claudia Rosett.
North Korea was the topic of the day. Joining Hugh was Dan Poneman of the Scowcroft Group, author of Going Critical. Dan was involved in the 1994 agreement with North Korea that was apparently violated the next day. Later in the hour, Frank Gaffney of the Center For Security Policy gave another viewpoint of the crisis.
After two days of request to appear on the program, Mr. Black consented to appear, and Hugh and he engaged in a long interview dissecting the appropriateness of the ad, the appropriateness of the coverage of the ad by the Strib, and appropriateness of disclosing biases in the newsroom in general.
