Josh opens the show by blasting the eyebrow-raising comments made by Dr. Jill Biden during a recent podcast appearance, where she addressed speculation that her husband, former President Joe Biden, may have been drugged before the presidential debate that made headlines two summers ago. Josh calls the explanation yet another attempt to gaslight the American public and asks why voters should believe the latest version of events after everything they witnessed firsthand.

He breaks down what makes the woman at the center of the case particularly noteworthy and explains why the story raises larger questions about terrorism, radicalization, and the national conversation surrounding domestic security.

Josh opens today’s show by taking on the growing data center craze sweeping communities across the country. As Americans increasingly push back against massive AI data centers being built in their own backyards, Josh asks how much of that opposition is justified—and how much has gone completely off the rails. He explains why there are legitimate reasons to be concerned about the impact of these facilities, but argues that some of the more extreme claims are actually undermining the case against them. Josh then turns to the Lindsay Clancy trial and the controversy surrounding those defending her after the deaths of her three children. Josh takes aim at the extremes on both sides of the case and explains why the conversation is losing sight of what should actually matter most: three children lost their lives. Finally, Josh tackles Los Angeles’ ongoing homelessness crisis following Wednesday’s mayoral debate.

Josh also looks at the strong night for Trump-backed candidates, what their victories say about President Trump’s continued influence within the Republican Party, and what it could mean for the GOP moving forward. Plus, Josh explains why he believes Florida has become a model for running secure and efficient elections while blasting California’s election system as an example of what states should avoid. Finally, Josh turns to the latest on U.S.-Canada trade. The two countries have reached a tentative deal that prevents a new round of tariffs from taking effect today.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Josh opens today’s show by breaking down the Florida primaries and asking what comes next for popular Gov. Ron DeSantis.

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 opens by taking aim at Democrats constantly claiming they are the “big tent” party—but when push comes to shove, are they really?
