Josh opens the show by tackling the growing rumors of a potential Supreme Court vacancy later this year and what it could mean for the future balance of the Court. He shares his thoughts on who he believes should be considered for the highest court in the land and makes the case that now is not the time for a “go-along-to-get-along” nominee—but rather a no-nonsense conservative willing to stand firm on the Constitution.
Josh is then joined by Lara Trump, former RNC co-chair and Trump campaign senior advisor, to discuss the endgame in the war with Iran and how the conflict could shape the political landscape heading into the midterm elections. She also weighs in on the narrative that Republican momentum is fading—and why she believes the reality looks very different.
Josh wraps up the show by reacting to Vice President JD Vance’s remarks at a recent TPUSA event, highlighting what his comments say about the direction of the conservative movement.
