Today, Josh breaks down the latest ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis, where an agent fatally shot one of the individuals involved in the unrest. Josh explains why this flashpoint fits the broader Democratic playbook—weaponizing chaos, feeding the narrative machine, and turning criminals into martyrs—while noting that the facts still matter and the investigation is ongoing.
Josh is then joined by Michael Doran, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute, for a wide-ranging discussion on Iran, the administration’s next moves, and the broader fight for sanity on the Right. Doran also offers a bold prediction about what Iran’s leadership could look like one year from now.
