Today, Josh tears into the exploding fraud scandal in Minnesota, where staggering sums of taxpayer money have allegedly been siphoned off by Somali networks—and yet, shockingly, much of the media can’t be bothered to cover it. He breaks down the jaw-dropping numbers, the political cowardice surrounding the story, and what this corruption says about the system failing ordinary Americans.
Josh then turns to President Trump’s decisive airstrike in Nigeria targeting radical Islamist groups that have been slaughtering Christians. He explains what this bold move reveals about Trump’s foreign policy doctrine—and why it stands in stark contrast to the hand-wringing we’ve seen from past administrations.
Josh closes with the latest on Trump’s push for a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia and his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—laying out what these moves signal about the administration’s broader strategy on the world stage.
