I started listening to him on the old KFI around 2001. A very different show format that I enjoyed enough that he and Rush were the only two regulars on my list.

Stopped listening to him in 2015 when he became a ‘Never Trumper’ and hit the big time taking over for Bennett. He became incredibly self-important.

Started listening again on 9 Nov 16 just to hear him have to eat crow. This lasted less than six months and now he resides on the ash-heap of history.

I’ve only seen Hewitt’s show a few times - he’s got an impressive mind. Too bad he’s a Globalist cuckservative as you say...but it’s a large tent and he’s sorta one of us... Sorta - sorta... maybe.

I’ll be on the lookout for one of his of author reviews - thanks for sharing that...

I wish I could remember the author’s name but this one interview sticks in my head. The author was a lefty and at first seemed combative with Hugh. Hugh completely reads every single book before he does an interview and writes notes along the way.

As the interview and back and forth go on where Hugh says “on page xxx you wrote ....” The author really started warming up to him. By the end of the interview Hugh had completely won over the author and planted kernels of conservative thought into his head.

Sadly, Hugh suffers from Californication where his blue blood Orange County Republican ways of thinking cloud the reality of the situation with national blue collar working class folks. He simply can’t acknowledge the impact that illegal immigration has on blue collar middle class Americans.

It's not just blue collar middle class Americans - it's Americans up and down the ladder. When an illegal becomes legal he get a first rung job on the ladder BECAUSE he's willing to work cheaper ... and that job allows him to keep moving up the ladder. It's not like any of these poeple keep 'picking crops' after they're made citizens. They don't. Which requires an unending stream of illegals to keep the system going... But aside from that, everyone has their blind spots... not just Orange Country Elites who think they 'see the larger picture'.

The fact Hewitt's a reader becomes obvious after hearing him talk for 10 minutes. He's not pushing facts to show off - facts are the solid background to his every thought. Interesting guy. Again he's sorta sorta sorta with us... Thanks for your comments.

I listen to him because 1) he’s a lawyer and frequently can shed light on the law and 2) he has awesome guests. I haven’t heard it lately but his “smart guys” interview where 2 legal experts on both sides discuss the Supreme Court decisions beats the daylights out of most of the radio shows. However, I can’t see him becoming more conservative now that he lives in DC instead of California. Yeah, he’s sorta, sorta, sorta like us - but his show can be interesting and enlightening (especially for those of us who aren’t legal or policy wonks).
