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.
