Josh opens the show by breaking down Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s headline-grabbing speech in Germany. He explains why Rubio’s address was a home run, what message it sent to Europe and America’s adversaries, and what comes next following the powerful remarks. Josh also discusses why he believes Europe has become a shadow of its former self and argues that the time has come for European leaders to stop apologizing and start leading. He then turns to the latest developments in Iran as protests continue across the country, calling out what he sees as the deafening silence from many Democrats and why he believes that silence effectively sides with the ruling regime. Later, Josh is joined by Erick Erickson, host of The Erick Erickson Show, to preview the 2026 midterm elections and lay out what Republicans must do to maintain control of both the House and Senate. To close the episode, Josh reflects on the history of Presidents' Day and shares what the holiday means to him personally.

U.S. military forces have boarded another oil tanker in the Indian Ocean after tracking the vessel from the Caribbean Sea in an effort to enforce sanctions tied to Venezuela’s oil trade, the Pentagon said. The defense department said its forces boarded the Panama-flagged tanker Veronica III overnight, describing the action as a “right-of-visit, maritime interdiction and boarding.” The vessel was targeted after what the Pentagon called an attempt to evade a quarantine on sanctioned tankers first ordered by President Trump last year. Video released by the Pentagon shows U.S. troops boarding the ship, though officials have not said whether the tanker has been formally seized. The operation follows a similar boarding of another sanctioned tanker in the Indian Ocean last week as part of broader efforts to disrupt illicit oil shipments.

Investigators say they may be closing in on a major break in the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie — the mother of TV host Savannah Guthrie. The FBI confirmed Sunday that DNA has been recovered from a glove found near Guthrie’s Arizona home. Authorities say the glove appears to match the pair worn by a masked prowler captured on her doorbell camera shortly before she vanished. According to FBI Director Kash Patel, the sample was initially tested by a private lab in Florida and is now undergoing final quality checks before being run through the national Combined DNA Index System database. Forensic experts say the process could generate a potential match — known as a “hit” — as early as Monday. The glove was one of roughly 16 recovered in a field about two miles from Guthrie’s Tucson home. Most were believed to have been dropped by search crews, but investigators say this one closely resembles the gloves worn by the suspect seen attempting to disable the home’s doorbell camera. Surveillance images also showed the individual carrying a gun and an overstuffed backpack. Guthrie, who has limited mobility, was last seen January 31 and is believed to have been abducted. Blood found on her porch was confirmed to be hers, and at least two ransom notes have surfaced since her disappearance. The investigation remains ongoing.
