  Ron DeSantis Transformed Florida. What Comes Next?

  Aug 18, 202642 min

  Josh opens today’s show by breaking down the Florida primaries and asking what comes next for popular Gov. Ron DeSantis. Josh looks back at DeSantis’ record in office and the transformation Florida has undergone under his leadership. Josh then turns to other key races across the country and the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists of America. He also dives into the bizarre situation unfolding in Alaska, where two candidates named Dan Sullivan are running for the same senate seat, and what the confusion could mean for voters. Then, Josh reveals more troubling details about the Deep State and allegations that officials protected a Democratic congressman who had reportedly been on the FBI’s radar dating back to 2014. Finally, Josh breaks down the latest developments in the war with Iran and reacts to President Trump’s comments on Monday. With the conflict continuing to evolve, Josh explains what the president’s remarks could signal about America’s next move and why the decisions being made right now could reshape the Middle East for years to come.

  You Don’t Defeat Socialism by Giving up on Basic Economics

  Aug 17, 202642 min

  Josh opens the show by tackling a fundamental question: What does it actually mean to be a conservative when it comes to the economy? Josh makes the case that conservatives must both unapologetically defend the basic integrity of capitalism while maintaining and refining some of the nationalist elements of President Trump's political program. Ryan Girdusky joins Josh to break down another round of polling failures, including what the polls got wrong in Wisconsin with the DSA-backed candidate’s loss and what they missed in Michigan, where a DSA candidate came out on top. Meanwhile, the civil war inside the Democratic Party continues. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says he doesn’t support DSA policies—yet continues to support DSA candidates. Josh calls out the contradiction and asks how Democrats can distance themselves from the socialist Left while continuing to help elect its candidates. Finally, Josh revisits comments made by former Attorney General Eric Holder about his role in the Obama administration as Democrats erupt over recent remarks from Attorney General Todd Blanche. Josh exposes what he sees as another glaring double standard and asks why the rules always seem to change depending on which party controls Washington.

  Democrats’ ‘Big Tent’ Could Mean a Big Loss This November

  Aug 14, 202643 min

  Josh opens by taking aim at Democrats constantly claiming they are the “big tent” party—but when push comes to shove, are they really? Josh breaks down the growing battle inside the Democratic Party and explains why the resistance to the DSA could become a major problem for Democrats heading into the 2026 midterms. Tyler O’Neil, Senior Investigative Reporter with The Daily Signal, joins Josh to dig into the latest surrounding the SPLC, the indictment made earlier this week, and where it all fits into the mounting scrutiny and pushback against the controversial nonprofit. Josh also shines a light on a story the legacy media seemingly has little interest in talking about: prescription drug prices continuing to fall. Josh explains what’s driving prices down, who stands to benefit, and why the White House needs to get much louder about what’s happening. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  Another Polling DEBACLE as Socialist Hong Goes Down in Flames

  Aug 12, 202643 min

  Josh opens the show by discussing the surprising results of Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary and why he believes DSA-backed candidate Hong went down in flames. Josh also examines why the polling was once again so far off and where Republicans now stand in the governor’s race with a supposedly more moderate Democrat emerging from the primary. Micah Q. Jones, a candidate for Congress in Massachusetts, joins Josh to discuss his campaign, why he decided to run, and the issues at the center of his race. Josh also dives into the controversial Massachusetts abortion law signed earlier this week and what it means for late-term abortions in the state. He discusses baby development, including what research tells us about pain perception around 20 weeks, and explains why the new law is so horrific.
