Spending Bill Collapse and Weaponization of Government | Bob Frantz with Rep Jim Jordan

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 2026.

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.

Trump 2.0 and the Mar-a-Lago Rat Pack

“President-elect Donald Trump’s popularity has reached a seven-year high and the majority of Americans approve of his handling of this transition process.” That’s a direct quote from a recent report in Forbes.

54 percent think Donald Trump is handling his transition well. 

Let me insert a quick point of contrast here: In 2016 at this time, Trump had just 40 percent approval. So he’s gone from 40 to 55 percent. 

These new numbers are nothing short of astonishing. My proposition is simple: Trump’s new approval rating is because … wait for it … Trump. Trump is more popular today than he’s ever before because Americans like optimism and Trump’s not only selling hope, he really believes in it. 

He loves this great country. The numbers that support him reflect the nation’s affection for an elected leader who believes in the country and its essential goodness, and says so, again and again and again.

If you are wishing the country well, you should be hoping that Trump’s numbers, like those in the markets, continue to rise.

Hugh Hewitt: Trump’s Approval Numbers Rising

The great social philosopher and writer Irving Kristol once put it that foreign policy is not that difficult, all you need is a moral sense of right and wrong.  Of course, finding such people, especially as they are trained in today’s university, is increasingly difficult.  How refreshing, then, to see the foreign and defense policy of the United States shaping up as it is in the incoming Trump administration.

Anyone wanting a sense of our new foreign and defense strategy ought to watch the interview Dr. Sebastian Gorka gave to the Free Press this past weekend.  Gorka, long a national radio host with Salem, among other things, will be President Trump’s senior director for counter-terrorism at the White House National Security Council.  

In his interview, Gorka articulates a moral clarity and vision for our and our allies’ defenses that is perfect for our times, correcting so many misbegotten theories and foreign policy ideas of the past.  Gorka shows the ground as neither interventionalist nor isolationist. He’ll be a serious addition to a serious team.
