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.
