Josh opens the show discussing the shocking attempted assassination of President Trump by a radical Leftist. He explains why the corporate media is once again running cover — downplaying the motive and falling back on the tired “both sides” narrative instead of confronting the extremism that fueled the attack.
Josh argues that the Democratic Party must take responsibility and clearly root out these radicals rather than allowing dangerous rhetoric and fringe actors to creep into the political mainstream. He says the state of the country demands honesty about where this kind of extremism is coming from — and insists it’s up to the Left to confront and purge the evil within its own ranks.
Later in the show, Josh turns to the latest redistricting battle, breaking down Florida’s push to redraw congressional maps in a way that could add additional Republican seats and reshape the political landscape ahead of the next election cycle.
