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.
He also covers the escalating protests in Iran, what they mean for U.S. interests, and why the president is right to monitor the dangerous situation as demonstrations continue to build in intensity.

Josh opens the show by breaking down the shooting in Minneapolis, where an ICE agent shot a "queer activist" during an enforcement operation. He explains why the country is once again at a tipping point—and why Minnesota’s leaders helped create the very conditions now exploding around them. Josh also calls out the escalating attacks on ICE nationwide and makes the case for why they must end.
He’s then joined by Richard Goldberg, Senior Advisor for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, to dig into the next steps for Venezuela and the broader message the administration is sending around the world. They also discuss the future of Venezuela’s oil resources and the high-stakes protests in Iran—along with what those protests mean for the stability of the Iranian regime.

Josh opens the show with the news on a Venezuelan oil tanker being escorted and explains why the United States has a direct strategic interest in what happens in Venezuela, Cuba, and Colombia. He also unpacks the escalating protests in Iran and why the situation is becoming increasingly dangerous.
Josh is then joined by Yuval Levin, Editor of National Affairs, for a deep dive into the state of healthcare reform in America—how we got here, why Republicans have struggled to make political gains on the issue, and why Democrats continue to expand spending without meaningful structural change. Levin also explores the divisions within the conservative movement and why both sides remain overly focused on their fringes.
