The third hour was a chance for Hugh to catch up with the news and take calls from the listeners about the war on terror here, and how the judge’s decision in Michigan shows how the Democrats by and large still don’t get it, plus discuss the loss by Israel in the recent war with Hezbollah.
After a rant about no water bottles in the restricted area in airports, Frank Gaffney from the Center For Security Policy joined Hugh with a very disturbing development from CNBC, who de-booked him at the request of the CAIR people who didn’t want to debate him. Also in this hour, James Lileks weighed in on the week’s events.
