Recent guests on the show have included: Michelle Malkin, Bill Ayers, Gov. Pat Quinn, John Kass, Ann Coulter, Bill O’Reily, Fred Barnes, Joe The Plumber, Mark Styne, Rudy Giuliani, Newt Gingrich, Dennis Hastert, Sen. Dick Durbin, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., Rep. Peter Roskam, Pat Buchanan, Mike Huckabee, Oliver North, Dick Morris, Bob Novak, and Jim Edgar.
