Josh opens the show by taking apart the proposed Iran deal and explaining why he believes it is a deal America should reject outright. He breaks down what's actually in the agreement, exposes the glaring questions it leaves unanswered, and argues that a bad deal is far more dangerous than no deal at all. Josh explains why giving concessions to the Iranian regime without meaningful guarantees could have serious consequences for U.S. national security and stability in the Middle East. Next, Josh turns his attention to Cuba and the latest signals coming from the administration about the future of U.S.-Cuba relations. He examines what policy changes may be on the horizon, what they could mean for American interests, and why the communist regime in Havana remains a critical issue that Washington cannot afford to ignore. Finally, Josh dives into the results of this week's Texas primary elections and what they reveal about the political landscape in the Lone Star State. As Democrats continue to insist that Texas is on the verge of turning blue, Josh looks at the numbers, the trends, and whether that long-promised Democratic breakthrough is reality—or just another political fantasy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Josh opens the show by taking aim at the growing push for DEI policies across America, arguing that judging people based on race is wrong no matter which side is doing it.

Later, Josh is joined by Stuart Bell to discuss the role DEI has played in higher education and the growing backlash against it nationwide. Bell also weighs in on the wave of antisemitism that erupted on college campuses following the October 7 attacks and the challenges universities have faced in responding to it. The conversation comes as Bell is considered a leading contender to become the next president of the University of Florida. Josh then shifts gears to former President Joe Biden and his latest legal fight over executive privilege. Josh breaks down the lawsuit, questions the legal arguments being made, and explains why he believes the case simply doesn't pass the smell test.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Josh Hammer takes a deep dive into the principles that should guide American foreign policy, arguing for a realistic, interest-driven approach that puts America's national interests first rather than chasing ideological crusades abroad. Josh examines the historical lessons that have shaped U.S. foreign policy, the current challenges posed by Iran, and why a sober, pragmatic strategy is essential as America navigates an increasingly unstable world. He explains what the "America First" doctrine actually means, how it is often misunderstood by both supporters and critics, and why it cannot be reduced to simplistic slogans. Josh also tackles the false choice between foreign policy "hawks" and "doves," arguing that effective leadership requires a clear-eyed assessment of America's interests rather than rigid ideological labels. Finally, he explores how the conflict with Iran fits into the broader America First framework and what principles should guide U.S. decision-making moving forward.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
