Townhall Review - August 17, 2024

Hugh Hewitt turns to Byron York of the Washington Examiner to comment on the monumental conversation between Elon Musk and Donald Trump on X this week.

Charlie Kirk interacts with portions of the interview between Elon Musk and President Trump, which was easily one of the most viral conversations ever, now with over 1 billion views.

Hugh turns to Mike Waltz, GOP representative from Florida’s 6th Congressional district and also a Green Beret to discuss Kamala Harris' pick for VP, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who has for a decade used stolen valor to advance his political career.

Chris Stigall and Ed Morrissey, of Hot Air, discuss how there is mounting pressure for Kamala Harris to engage more openly with the media to counteract worldwide publicity that President Trump received on X.

Larry O'Connor analyzed the Musk-Trump interview as a direct line to the public, bypassing traditional media filters. The conversation's reach, particularly among younger demographics, was seen as a threat to traditional media's control over political discourse.
