Josh Hammer addresses the anti-ICE protests in Minnesota while underscoring that the underlying Somali fraud scandal is driving the broader political fallout. He breaks down the Texas special election upset that flipped a seat to Democrats and assesses what Republicans should take away as November nears.

The program concludes with an analysis of a significant "detransitioner" malpractice ruling and its potential impact on transgender medical practices going forward.

Josh Hammer analyzes the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement strategy through the role of Tom Homan, including the arrest of Don Lemon, before turning to the cultural fascination surrounding Luigi Mangione and what it reveals about America’s growing confusion over justice and the death penalty. Rabbi Pinchas Taylor then joins to discuss the week’s Torah portion and the importance of Jewish-Christian bridge-building, and Josh closes with an encouraging reflection from a Young America’s Foundation event in Florida, offering a rare white-pill moment about the next generation.

Today, Josh breaks down the continued escalation unfolding in Minnesota and explains why this story has been building for weeks. He argues that it all traces back to the viral video released by Nick Shirley, which brought renewed national attention to the staggering fraud allegations in the state.
Josh is then joined by Kurt Schlichter, senior columnist at Townhall.com, to discuss the political fallout from the Minnesota chaos and what it could mean in both the short and long term. The two also look ahead to 2028, breaking down early frontrunners in both parties and what the next presidential cycle is already starting to reveal about the state of American politics.

Josh begins with an update on the now weeks-long stand-off between the Trump administration and the Democrat-led "sanctuary" insurrectionary bastions, such as Minnesota. Is President Trump taking his foot off the gas pedal, or is he committed to seeing this immigration enforcement mission through? The stakes are high—not merely for Minnesota, but also for other would-be insurrectionists throughout the country.

Josh also explains why Trump is stepping into the chaotic Pacific Palisades wildfire clean-up, now that it's been over a year since the tragedy. Finally, he explains why he is now part of a new initiative—the Greater Than Campaign—to overturn the Obergefell Supreme Court decision and restore traditional one-man/one-woman marriage policy to We the People, and also provides an update on the long-overdue retrieval of the final Israeli hostage in Gaza and what it could portend for regional peace.

Josh breaks down how left-wing activists protesting ICE operations across the country are adopting tactics that resemble those used by terrorist groups like Hamas in their public messaging and pursuit of martyrdom—bringing chaos and narrative manipulation to law enforcement confrontations. He also delivers a clear message to public officials, including Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who have compared federal immigration enforcement actions to Nazi Germany: Stop making those offensive and inaccurate comparisons.
Josh next provides the latest update on Iran and what is emerging from the administration regarding potential negotiations or a deal with Tehran.
He closes by calling out left-leaning sports reporters who use high-profile events like the Australian Open to ask political “gotcha” questions, arguing that they are injecting partisan politics into athletic competition.

Today, Josh breaks down the latest ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis, where an agent fatally shot one of the individuals involved in the unrest. Josh explains why this flashpoint fits the broader Democratic playbook—weaponizing chaos, feeding the narrative machine, and turning criminals into martyrs—while noting that the facts still matter and the investigation is ongoing.
Josh is then joined by Michael Doran, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute, for a wide-ranging discussion on Iran, the administration’s next moves, and the broader fight for sanity on the Right. Doran also offers a bold prediction about what Iran’s leadership could look like one year from now.

Today, Josh breaks down the GOP hearing from earlier this week, where Republicans went after "Special Counsel" Jack Smith and exposed just how politicized Smith was in his charges against President Trump. Josh argues that the time for talking is over—and that accountability needs to begin now, including potential charges against Smith.
Josh then turns to the March for Life in Washington, D.C., explaining why President Trump should be doing more to protect the rights of unborn babies and strengthen the pro-life cause.
Next, Josh tackles immigration, making the case that immigration law must be enforced—whether it’s Minnesota or the southern border—because without the rule of law, the country cannot function.
He closes with a look at President Trump’s new “Board of Peace,” what it could mean, and why it may be shaping up as a serious rival to the United Nations.

Josh breaks down President Trump’s headline-making speech at Davos, explaining why the president is right to confront the globalist elite head-on—and why making America’s case to the world, including on Greenland, matters. He then turns to the latest developments in Iran, as President Trump’s top advisers weigh potential paths forward. He closes by asking a blunt question: does a moderate Democrat still exist, in light of the increasingly radical news coming out of Virginia just days after a new Democratic governor took office?

Josh Hammer is joined by Mike Davis, President of the Article III Project, for a no-holds-barred breakdown of the legal war now gripping the country. The two tear into the Insurrection Act, immigration enforcement, and the escalating power struggle between federal authority and defiant states. They explain how activist judges, lawless local officials, and rogue state governments are pushing the nation toward a constitutional collision—and why the Trump administration’s legal strategy matters more than ever. 

Today, Josh takes on the anarchists who disrupted a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, explaining why the incident clearly crossed into trespassing—and why the Department of Justice is right to investigate it. He then turns to the latest developments surrounding U.S. discussions about acquiring Greenland, laying out why President Trump is far from alone in seeing the strategic value of the move.
Josh also shifts to culture, calling out Ms. Rachel and the creeping socialist messaging being pushed toward children. He warns parents that figures like Ms. Rachel are not neutral educators, but activists more interested in indoctrination than children’s well-being.
He closes the show with a look at the turmoil in college sports, breaking down why some of the biggest stories dominating headlines are deeply troubling—and why meaningful reform may be nearly impossible now that legalized sports gambling is entrenched.

While Josh has long been skeptical of “red line” diplomacy, he explains why the president now has to act to avoid projecting weakness or the appearance of empty threats.

He then turns to the latest developments in Iran, outlining the next steps facing the United States and why the president must follow through after a clearly stated red line was crossed.
Josh is then joined by James Lindsay of New Discourses for a candid conversation about confronting bad actors on the Right, what motivates them, and why ignoring them only strengthens their influence.
He closes the show by reacting to a viral moment from a Senate hearing earlier this week, where an OB-GYN was unable to answer a basic question: can a man get pregnant?

The two argue that the issue goes far beyond fraud itself—and points to deeper immigration failures and lessons lawmakers can no longer afford to ignore.

Josh then turns to major Supreme Court cases unfolding in Washington, D.C., involving bans on biological males competing in female sports—cases that could reshape the national conversation on fairness and Title IX.
Next, Josh calls out Democrats for their hypocrisy on illegal immigration, contrasting their current stance with the mainstream Democratic position of just a few years ago and reminding listeners that without the rule of law, a nation cannot survive.
He closes by discussing his newest column on the rise and fall of Megyn Kelly, her sudden reversals on key issues, and why her recent comments about Nick Fuentes are troubling—if not entirely surprising.

As tensions escalate in Iran, Josh breaks down what may come next for the United States. He calls out the bad actors attacking the Iranian protest movement and explains why he would not have used the specific “red line” language President Trump invoked. Josh also covers the antisemitic attack on a Mississippi synagogue over the weekend and explains why the Left’s response has been entirely predictable—while reminding listeners that conservatives must police the bad actors on their own side when it comes to antisemitism.
Josh then turns to the ongoing debate over foreign aid, arguing that the obsession with the issue is often misplaced—even though he believes the U.S. should seriously evaluate reducing foreign aid overall. He closes with a discussion of the latest developments involving the DOJ and the Federal Reserve, emphasizing the need to remember that the Fed is not an independent agency, despite popular belief.

Today, Josh addresses the nationwide protests and lawlessness sparked by the fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE agent during a federal enforcement operation in Minneapolis, which has ignited demonstrations in multiple cities. He explains why, as a country founded on law and order, we cannot accept mob justice or attacks on federal officers and why community leadership in places like Minnesota has helped fuel the crisis. 
Josh then shifts to foreign policy, breaking down why the Trump Administration’s continued discussions about purchasing Greenland are not as far-fetched as critics claim, and why the idea makes strategic sense.
