Welcome to our VIP feature for Hot Air as well as a members-only show in the Hughniverse! Duane Patterson and I now are doing a Week in Review show for Friday evenings, exclusive to members in both platforms. Duane has been the Generalissimo behind the Hugh Hewitt Show for more than two decades, and we have partnered on weekly commentary since 2007.

Before we get to Kamala’s new PR campaign, Duane and I point out how the Israelis are publicly rebuking Biden’s team. Jake Sullivan had to hit reverse on Biden’s demand for timetables on the war while in Jerusalem today, and the whole Antony Blinken “credit” system has gone bankrupt. The efforts by White House sources to make Kamala appear engaged and coherent on the Gaza-Israel war looks like an attempt to fend off Gavin Newsom as the heir presumptive for 2024 if Biden can’t answer the bell himself. The Kamala Conundrum is real, and it’s spectacular, as Duane and I assess.

Be sure to watch it all, and extend the conversation in the comments!
