Another big news week and we've assembled the appropriate heavy hitters to help us parse it: first up, Victor Davis Hanson weighs in on North Korea, the IG report, and why the case for collusion is looking weaker and weaker every day. Then, Andrew McCarthy (listen to his brand new podcast, The McCarthy Report) stops by for some in-depth analysis on that IG report and what it means for the President. Also, Robinson returns from Spain and reports on what it's like to hang out with rich people. Olé!

    I continue to see headlines from Democrats' media lapdogs that present a polar opposite portrayal of events. Will the facts have greater consequences than the fiction?

    The Left has made habit not only of contesting election results but contesting description of every political event. Without agreed facts, there can be no civil debate. Without conversation, politics will get uglier.

    At around the 10 minute mark, James, you nailed! Reprehensible liberal actions are excused because their intentions were good. Conservative's, or Trump's, good actions are irrelevant because both had bad intentions.

    It just makes my blood boil that these democrat bureaucrats get away with it and sometimes even enhance their careers by bringing their politics to work. Lois Lerner did get chased down her street once but she is living on a full government pension and probably still reciting: "I did nothing wrong". Try being a Republican and working for the Federal government. You have to keep your opinions to yourself or you will be sent to work in the basement or they will find a way to fire you.

    I really do hope that Trump is as smart as VDH thinks he is, because otherwise we are in real trouble.
