Josh opens the show by breaking down the failed domestic terror attack in New York City and why it serves as yet another stark reminder that the threat of terrorism—particularly homegrown extremism—remains very real. He explains why national security starts with strong immigration enforcement, argues that America must be far more selective about who is allowed into the country, and warns against complacency as new threats continue to emerge.
Josh then turns to the latest developments in Iran, examining where the conflict stands, what the administration's next moves could be, and why Democrats continue to attack the White House's handling of the war. As the situation in the Middle East rapidly evolves, Josh separates political rhetoric from the strategic realities on the ground.
Josh welcomes Joel Rubin, a former Bernie Sanders supporter, to discuss why he now believes Sen. Bernie Sanders has become one of the Democratic Party's leading anti-Israel voices. Rubin explains how the party's position on Israel has dramatically shifted, why anti-Israel sentiment has gained influence within Democratic circles, and what that transformation could mean for the future of U.S.-Israel relations.
