In an exchange on ABC’s This Week, Senator Tom Cotton exposed the mainstream media’s corruption for all to see. Cotton told host Jon Karl that Kamala Harris would push a radical agenda, including the elimination of private health insurance, if elected president. Karl objected, claiming Harris “said she no longer supports Medicare for all.”

“Nonsense,” Cotton immediately responded. “She has not said that,” Cotton forcefully interrupted. “Anonymous aides on a Friday night might have said that,” he continued, “but Harris has been silent on her policy positions across the board.”

When Karl then claimed Harris had moved to the middle, Cotton stuck to his guns and pointed out that Harris herself had done no such thing. The media hasn’t even bothered to ask her, let alone have evidence for a move to the center. It’s a mainstream media fantasy, and Cotton exposed it as such.

Donald Trump’s campaign will have many surrogates making the case for his election. All of them should be required to attend Tom Cotton’s school for schooling the media.

Former—and I think future—President Donald Trump was back on my radio show last week.

My focus was on Israel and that led to this exchange:

Hugh Hewitt: Do you think President Biden and Secretary Blinken have held Israel back? Are they making Israel basically fight to a draw?

Donald Trump: I think that Israel’s being hurt very badly by the Democrats. I think they’re making it very hard for the Democrats to win, very, very hard for the Democrats What they’re doing, what they’re doing with respect to Israel, what the Democrats are doing, they’re making it very hard for Israel to win.

He went on to say:

Donald Trump: They have to finish the job. Israel has to finish the job, get it done, and get it done fast. And they have to do it. They have to get it done fast.

This is clarity. This is full-throated support for Israel. And it should flip friends of Israel in America, Jewish and non-Jewish alike, into the Trump column this Fall.

The fall election will turn on three major issues: inflation, immigration and Israel.

Former President Donald Trump has a solid record as president on all three of the big issues. Vice President Kamala Harris has a record only on the border and illegal immigration but last week, she helpfully identified herself as unprepared to handle inflation.

Her first big policy proposal: Price controls—a proven failure from 50 years ago. Price controls cannot work and never have, not even in police states.

The second proposal: $25,000 for would-be first-time home buyers would simply be gas for the inflation fires.

She’s clearly no friend to Israel—and she’s the virtual architect of our open border policy.

Her election would be catastrophic for the country.

Harris’s radical politics are just as obvious as was Biden’s infirmity, and legacy media is covering up her radicalism just as it covered Biden’s slide into incoherence.

What is obvious: She ought never to be president. The country and its allies simply cannot afford that.

I’m Hugh Hewitt.
