The week began with a striking drop in the stock market, with Monday marking Wall Street's worst day in years. Some believe the selloffs are due to growing concerns over the Trump Administration's tariff plan — which they believe could lead to an international trade war and ultimately, a recession. President Trump, however, has voiced his confidence that this plan will leave the country in a richer, more independent place. Chief Political Correspondent for 'The Washington Examiner' Byron York, FOX News Radio Washington D.C. Correspondent Jared Halpern, and Democratic pollster Carly Cooperman join Bret to discuss this, Republican lawmakers fight to pass a continuing resolution by Friday, and more on today's All-Star Panel.

Byron York, Chief Political Correspondent for the Washington Examiner and Fox News contributor, joined The Guy Benson Show today to break down the shocking case of Charles Littlejohn, who stole Trump's tax returns (along with the tax information of hundreds of thousands of Americans) and walked away with only minor charges. York and Benson explained why this case is a prime example of Democrats weaponizing lawfare to their advantage. The pair also discussed the left's outrage over The Wall Street Journal's editorial shift toward a more pro-America, pro-freedom stance, as well as the broader decline in trust in legacy media--and why major outlets are scrambling to adapt.

Townhall Review - December 21, 2024 Hugh Hewitt turns to Jason Smith, Missouri Representative and Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, on the need to deliver early on the Trump tax cuts if the GOP wants to keep the majority in 2016. Charlie Kirk turned to Patrick Bet-David for a look at Donald Trump’s return to the political stage, which has starkly contrasted his previous campaigns in 2016 and 2020. Trump’s approach this time feels fundamentally different, focused on winning and uniting allies—even critics. Hugh turns to Byron York of the Washington Examiner and weighs in on the $16 million settlement involving Disney/ABC and George Stephanopoulos. Mike Gallagher also addresses the settlement, framing it as evidence of dishonesty and bias in the legacy media. He argues the payout reflects years of lies and an effort to avoid accountability for misinformation. John Solomon and Lee Smith, author of Disappearing the President, discuss the erosion of free speech dating back to Trump’s removal from Twitter in 2021, how tactics born in the American liberal movement are influencing global politics, and the importance of restoring institutions like the FBI to serve the American people.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SERIES 3 EPISODE 26: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: “In the world of boxing or UFC," writes Trump between his chicken clucks, "when a fighter gets beaten or knocked out, they get up and scream ‘I demand a rematch, I demand a rematch!' Well it's no different with a debate. She was beaen badly last night. Every poll has us winning – in one case 92-8 – so why would I do a Rematch?” Actually in the world of boxing or UFC, Trump's campaign would be in Intensive Care at this hour and the only demand would be to pull it off life support and end its suffering. And actually in the world of debates, it was TRUMP who had demanded additional debates with Joe Biden and then the Vice President so by his own rules Trump just proclaimed he LOST the CNN debate to the President. It took Trump surrogate and pretend professor Hugh Hewitt more than 19 hours to come up with this second day excuse, quote: “Opinions are settling… Trump was not at his best BUT was usually ok and at some points good, especially on the border and his closing statement.” 19 hours to think up some means of pulling his life-line meal-ticket out of the Burning Trumpster Dumpster and Hugh Hewitt comes up with “he was usually ok.” If you think that was bad, JD Vance then dismissed the Taylor Swift endorsement by encouraging voters to ignore billionaire celebrities who are out of touch with ordinary Americans. And there was a cat eaten in Ohio. The woman - a native of the state (represented in the Senate by JD Vance) - the child of Ohio residents - was promptly arrested. She's not Haitian, but the right wing is trying to make her so. It's going as well as Trump's debate night went. B-Block (20:59) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Republican Virginia Senate hopeful Hung Cao decides to try a little play on words and has made medallions reading "I Want My Senator To Be Hung." A little moment behind the spin room curtain with the deplorable Tim Murtaugh and the despicable Byron York. And Russia Dave Rubin in a nice passive-aggressive threat against Taylor Swift because she had the nerve to disobey the right wing. C-Block (27:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Maddow just celebrated her 16th anniversary. She almost didn't make it to her first. The day our corporate overlords threatened to fire her, fire me, and shut the damn network off! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Townhall Review - August 17, 2024 Hugh Hewitt turns to Byron York of the Washington Examiner to comment on the monumental conversation between Elon Musk and Donald Trump on X this week. Charlie Kirk interacts with portions of the interview between Elon Musk and President Trump, which was easily one of the most viral conversations ever, now with over 1 billion views. Hugh turns to Mike Waltz, GOP representative from Florida's 6th Congressional district and also a Green Beret to discuss Kamala Harris' pick for VP, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who has for a decade used stolen valor to advance his political career. Chris Stigall and Ed Morrissey, of Hot Air, discuss how there is mounting pressure for Kamala Harris to engage more openly with the media to counteract worldwide publicity that President Trump received on X. Larry O'Connor analyzed the Musk-Trump interview as a direct line to the public, bypassing traditional media filters. The conversation's reach, particularly among younger demographics, was seen as a threat to traditional media's control over political discourse.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
