National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster gave an interview to Hugh Hewitt, a conservative member of the establishment, on Saturday morning amid attacks from the president’s conservative base.
McMaster was asked about nearly every major national security issue that’s made headlines over the past few weeks, except for his recent firing of three President Trump loyalists from the National Security Council: Ezra Cohen-Watnick, Derek Harvey, and Rich Higgins.
Hewitt asked him to talk about his “role in the White House and the White House generally,” but did not ask him about the chorus of voices from the right calling for his departure.

As national security adviser, McMaster is responsible for teeing up options for the president on national security issues, but he has tried to isolate those who supported the president’s campaign and agenda, according to some former officials.
At the same time, he has allowed former top Obama officials such as Rob Malley to come and go at the NSC, according to Conservative Review.
“What we’re doing is we’re delivering what we’re calling “integrated strategies” based on the president’s guidance. And so what we had, and this is maybe understandable,” he told Hewitt.

It has been years since I have listened to the Hugh Hewitt show. He is a big sponge.
Hewitt has been a tool for a long, long time.
Hewitt is a Cheap Labor Express propagandist and has been for years
I quit him in 2015 when it became obvious he was a ‘Never Trumper’. I wonder how much of his audience has left?
Yessir. He only got on the Trump Train when this election was about to end his career.
I think rumor about Drudge is true. Still nothing about mcmaster as allegedly requested by WH Sr staff member
What is the rumor?
HH, a cartoon character if there ever was one.
Hugh Hewitt is part of Salem Radio. Salem Radio Network News is quite biased against Trump, to the point of being snarky. Michael Medved is 50/50, but will be positive towards people like Mitch McConnell, and Bill Kristol, etc. Dennis Prager is completely honest and fair towards Trump, and Mike Gallagher is pro Trump as is Larry Elder.
My second sentence in post.
Hewitt is PURE GOP INC.
That rumor came from Prosobiec...so...but drudge is keeping mcmaster stories off his page
He makes me pine for the days of Bill Bennett's Morning In America.
I'd gladly take the guest hosts of Morning In America (who are not named Mark Davis) in place of water-carrier Hugh Hewitt.
That sentence doesn’t help with “why”, just says the he isn’t posting stories about him. Is there a rumor as to why Drudge would not post the stories?
Hugh is the Establishment.
Hewitt is a namby pamby shadow of he once was and stood for, and why I stopped listening to him many years ago.
“Hugh Hewitt, a conservative member of the establishment,”
Hugh is not a true conservative. He claims he is but his actions show otherwise.
He took over for Bill Bennett on AM radio, and he always has the same liberal guests. He always quotes from Politico, and has every liberal news wonk on and introduces them as his good friend.
Now he has his tv show on, wait for it, MSNBC. It’s on Saturday mornings, so that’s a low importance show, even on a liberal channel.
Hey Hugh, shut the hell up and get off my radio!!!!
