Four days after Ram Madhav refused to answer for the RSS’s record, Hudson Institute's Walter Russell Mead also refused. I asked the Distinguished Fellow who hosted RSS leader Hosabale on April 23 about USCIRF’s sanctions recommendation, the India Foundation’s funding of his India travel, and his role in laundering the RSS. His answer to every question: “No comment.” On April 27, 2026, I encountered Walter Russell Mead leaving a Washington restaurant. Four days earlier, he had hosted Dattatreya Hosabale, the General Secretary of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, in a fireside chat on Hudson’s stage. The conference convened fifty days after the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom recommended the RSS for US sanctions. I asked Mead, on camera, about his role in hosting the RSS leadership. I asked him whether he was aware of the documented record of RSS-implicated violence against Christians, Muslims, and other religious minorities. I asked him whether he was aware of the USCIRF sanctions recommendation. I asked him how he felt about laundering and whitewashing the RSS for an American audience. I asked him whether the India Foundation — Hudson’s institutional partner since 2023 — pays for his trips to India. I asked him how long his relationship with Ram Madhav has lasted. I asked him whether it bothers his conscience to platform an organization whose members have been accused of assassinating Mahatma Gandhi, burning Christians alive, and gang-raping Muslim women. Mead’s response to every question: “No comment.” Walter Russell Mead is the Distinguished Fellow at Hudson Institute who moderated Hosabale’s April 23 fireside chat without challenging a single claim Hosabale made. He has written favorably about India and the BJP government in The Wall Street Journal for seven years. He has traveled to India under India Foundation hosting, including a November 2024 Hudson-India Foundation delegation to Tawang documented in his own WSJ column. On October 7, 2025, Narendra Modi personally hosted Mead at his residence in New Delhi. Asked directly about these institutional facts, Mead chose silence. Hudson Institute is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. Its Distinguished Fellow declines to answer questions about hosting a foreign paramilitary’s leadership fifty days after USCIRF recommended that paramilitary for sanctions. He declines to answer questions about whether his Indian travel is funded by an Indian Foundation tied to the BJP and to India’s National Security Adviser. He declines to answer questions about his role in giving the RSS Washington’s policy stage. The April 23 conference was the test of whether anyone would do their job. Mead’s “no comment” is the answer.

🚨 Stephen A. Smith dropped a SURPRISING take on birthright citizenship. “When the president walked in to the Supreme Court...to attend oral arguments...I’m here to tell you ladies and gentlemen, I don’t blame him.” Smith then asked his audience the uncomfortable question about birthright citizenship: “Is it right?” SMITH: “The issue that I wanted to get into is birthright citizenship by simply asking this question.” “When the president walked in to the Supreme Court today...to hear their thoughts, their questions, their inquiry, their opinions on birthright citizenship in the United States of America.” “How’d you feel about that?” “I’m here to tell you, ladies and gentlemen, I don’t blame him.” “He campaigned on this issue.” “He’s been accused of not paying attention to stuff that’s happening on our home soil.” “You want to do something politically expedient to your benefit, if you’re President Donald Trump, this is the fight you fight, because millions of Americans flow with him on this issue.” “And the reason why it’s an issue that’s important to tackle is because remember what the 14th amendment of the United States Constitution states.” “Remember what it states!” “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States. “Meaning if you are born on U.S. soil, you are a U.S. citizen automatically. Automatically!” “Here’s the part that we have to ask ourselves, and this is where the conversation gets uncomfortable, do you believe in birthright citizenship as an American citizen?” “Do you believe that somebody that crosses our borders illegally, to give birth on American soil, that their children, their newborn should automatically be an American citizen?” “According to the United States Constitution, there is no argument there.” “What I’m asking you is, is it right?” “Should it happen?”
