Josh opens the show by discussing the SAVE America Act and the misinformation surrounding the bill coming from Democrats. He explains why the legislation—focused on strengthening election integrity and voter ID requirements—continues to receive strong support from the American public, while questioning why some Republicans appear reluctant to fully embrace the will of voters. Josh also breaks down what options Republicans have if they want to move the bill forward without Democratic support.
Josh then turns to the latest developments involving U.S. strikes against Iran, discussing why the ultimate definition of “victory” remains unclear to many Americans. He also examines the administration’s efforts to stabilize global energy markets and calm fears about rising energy prices amid the ongoing conflict.
Later in the program, Josh welcomes Ellie Cohanim, former Deputy Special Envoy at the State Department, to discuss the situation in Iran, the strategic goals behind the recent strikes, and why she believes the actions taken by the United States were the right move.
To close the show, Josh addresses the media coverage of the strikes on Iran, arguing that much of the reporting has focused on worst-case scenarios while overlooking key progress being made.
