Mark Steyn, columnist to the world, and humorist and columnist James Lileks highlighted the first hour. Also included is a thoroughly unnecessary deal made out of the fact that poor Duane, the producer, turns 40 this weekend.
Easily the most candid interview by a stalwart member of the mainstream media you will ever hear. If you’re a conservative, and have had theories about the mainstream media, you will feel vindicated after listening to this interview.
Military historian and author of Imperial Grunts, Robert Kaplan, started the hour out discussing his Atlantic cover story piece on North Korea, and the speeches yesterday and today at the United Nations. Claudia Rosett joined Hugh later in the hour.
Hugh spent a lot of time today on the unnerving closing prayer by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad yesterday at the United Nations, and the loopy devil remarks by Venezuelan president, Hugo Chavez. Colorado Governor Bill Owens joined Hugh later in the hour.
Very sober and bracing, as usual, one of the world’s greatest military historians played out the moves that could very well lead to a world war, if the Iranian situation doesn’t somehow get diffused.
Victor Davis Hanson started hour three, looking at the United Nations speeches by Chavez and Ahmadinejad, and how poorly it’s being reported and taken seriously by the mainstream media.
Currently serving as the Provost of Ave Maria University in Naples, Florida, Father Fessio provided more insight into Pope Benedict’s speech last week, and analyzes the controversy around it.

The outgoing Tennessee Senator covers the last week or so of the current year’s term, and the prospects of confirming judges, and the passage of the President’s legislation on NSA surveillance and military tribunals.
Most of the hour was spent listening to the live stream of the amazingly Hitlerian Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speech to the United Nations, and caller reaction to it.
