The Lessons We Need To Learn
Lesson 1: Be careful with your bragging. First the host’s beloved, as he tells us constantly, Ohio State loses the Big Ten football championship (something he barely mentioned this past week) to former Big Ten doormat Indiana University (a name…
Hyperbolic Clickbait – The Hugh Hewitt Show
I get it all the time – usually about sports – a prompt, notification or alert about a story so astonishing that you just have to click. And when you get there, the claims that lead you there are quite hyperbolic if not outright lies. The…
Science Is Dead, Long Live Politics

Science v Freedom – The Hugh Hewitt Show
