Josh opens the show by discussing former NIAD Director Anthony Fauci's testimony before the Senate, where he invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 110 times. Josh breaks down what happened during the hearing and asks the bigger question: Is America truly prepared for the next COVID-like pandemic, or are we destined to repeat the mistakes of the past?
Next, Josh is joined by Seth Barron, New York Post Editorial Board member, to discuss the rise of "Third World-ism," New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's push toward socialism, and what those policies could mean for the future of America's largest city.
Josh then turns to the latest developments in Iran, explaining why he believes the regime cannot be trusted to negotiate in good faith and why continued military pressure is the right course of action.
Finally, Josh reflects on the funeral of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, looking back on his decades of public service, his influence on the conservative movement, and the legacy he leaves behind.
