Hugh Hewitt: Persevere
The future of the West and President Donald ’s reputation within it through the centuries will depend on the outcome of the ongoing battle with the Islamic Republic of Iran. America is decisively winning that battle, but it has not yet won it. If President Trump perseveres, that will not happen. If he abandons the battle, it could be the worst foreign policy debacle for the United States since the end of the Vietnam War, rivaling even that of catastrophe of President Joe Biden’s command to American forces to quickly depart Afghanistan in 2021. Iran is run by religious fanatics. That is the defining threat Iran poses to the region and indeed the world. Most of the West doesn’t want to deal with the implications of a theocracy bound up in medieval theology and run by fanatics in possession of WMD. President Trump is willing to do this and he’s acted on it. Now he must finish the job.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ed Morrissey: It's Not a Red Scare - It's a Code Red
Abolish the Electoral College. Replace the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress. Eliminate the Senate. Seize ownership of “essential industries.” These are not just hysterical claims about the Democratic Socialists of America. This is the platform the DSA adopted and published. DSA co-chair Megan Romer confirmed on Fox News Sunday that the DSA and its candidates will pursue those goals, and by any means necessary. These DSA activists and candidates do not want to just win elections. They want a toehold for a revolution. It is not a game to them, nor a pose, and the events of the last century make very clear what the outcomes of such a revolution will be. Even winning an attempted revolution against the constitutional order would devastate the country, and the DSA does not plan on losing it. When communists tell you who they are, believe them.

Carol Platt Liebau: The Democrats Are Being Consumed
Until now, hard-left influencer Hasan Piker was perhaps best known for appearing to use an electric shock collar on his dog during a livestream. Now he's making news again—for addressing the College Democrats of America convention dressed as Mao Zedong. Piker has called Mao "one of the great leaders of this world." Yet Mao's policies are widely estimated to have caused the deaths of between 40 and 70 million people. Had Piker shown up dressed as Hitler, the outrage would have been immediate—and rightly so. Mao deserves no better. Piker’s appearance, and his denunciation of mainstream Democrats for compromising with so-called fascists, reflects the extremist rhetoric gaining ground on the left. Unless Democrats of good faith confront that radical fringe, their party risks losing itself. Let's hope it's not already too late.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ed Morrissey: Hochul and the Left Take on Nuns Again
New York has recently created their version of Canada’s assisted suicide regimen, and it has put religious providers squarely in its crosshairs. Several groups have banded together to stop the Medical Aid in Dying legislation as it forces them to participate in suicide. Hochul tried to deny this, claiming faith-based providers can opt out of the program. Catholic nuns discovered, however, that the law requires all providers to coordinate assisted suicide in their facilities and to give access to doctors performing it. Starting next month, any healthcare provider who declines to prescribe suicide pills could still have to tell terminally ill patients about their “right” to kill themselves, help them meet the requirements for obtaining suicide pills, and direct them to a provider willing to prescribe the lethal drugs. The death cult on the Left continues to expand its reach and its authoritarianism. We need to stand with the Catholic sisters – again – and fight for life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hugh Hewitt: Watching What’s Left of the Iranian Regime
President Trump was a guest on my program last week. He put the number of Iranians massacred by the regime over two days in January at 52,000! —so we know the ruthlessness of the men in charge in Iran. In light of that, it is entirely understandable that the Iranian people are reticent to take to the streets again. And this has become clear: the current public faces of the rump regime in don’t have any authority over the killers with the guns. Eli Lake is among the most respected national security reporters in the U.S. He explained to me last week how the history of regime collapses tells us we ought to be watching for splits within the ranks of those men with guns. That’s how revolutions against dictators begin and then gain momentum—when a cadre see the end game and don’t want to be on the wrong side when everything falls apart. Watch closely. It only takes a few people to crack the whole of the IRGC tyranny.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Carol Platt Liebau: Islamism Assertive in America
A new Pew Research Center survey contains a shocking finding: Nearly half of Muslim Americans view Hamas favorably. That's right—Hamas, the terrorist group responsible for murdering at least 46 Americans and taking others hostage on October 7, 2023. Overall, 44 percent of Muslim American respondents expressed a favorable opinion of Hamas. This disturbing trend coincides with an increasingly assertive Islamist presence across the United States. In parts of Brooklyn, amplified calls to prayer now ring out from mosques beginning at 5 a.m.. They include the declaration, “There is no god but Allah.” Religious liberty is a cherished American freedom. But it’s time to realize that many Islamists view such public displays not simply as religious expression, but as symbols of cultural and political ascendancy, here in America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Seth Leibsohn: Iran's Third Assassination Plot on Donald Trump
The late philosopher Hannah Arendt wrote that the power of toxic ideologies, like fascism and communism—once they take hold—can prove impossible to reform. Now add apocalyptic theocracy to that fascism and you have a rough understanding of Iran’s leadership. The West, and hopefully many in the Trump administration, are learning that now. As the Wall Street Journal and others reported, Iranian leadership plotted its third assassination on President Donald Trump last week. This, after the United States had already decimated Iran’s military. Federal courts have previously identified two other plots to assassinate Donald Trump, as well as several of his former cabinet officials. While many Americans recoil at notions of regime change in Iran, Iranian leadership has no such compunction about trying to affect regime change in America—and via assassination. And: It appears almost nothing will shake Iran’s fascist theocracy into moderation or civility. This is who and what we are fighting in Iran. Let’s complete the job and help make gentler the life of this world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hugh Hewitt: The Lesson From Graham Platner
Graham Platner ended his bid to represent the people of Maine in the U.S. Senate on Wednesday night. He would have done well to begin his consideration with earnest engagement with the Bible. Really. Specifically, the Gospel of Luke, chapter 8, verse 17, where it says: “For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.” Now more than ever, every candidate must be warned again about this truth and then again and again. Indeed, it’s inevitable for every candidate in every race in which any opponent has the means to dig deep. Every would-be candidate ought to subject himself or herself first to the gauntlet of self-scrutiny and then to a gauntlet of “friendly” professionals who specialize in digging up “opposition research.” If an unflattering story exists, it can be found, and it will be found. And it will be on every front page. Platner’s saga is already a tale worth telling. “Nothing that is secret will not be revealed.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
