Josh opens the show by breaking down the violent riots erupting in Belfast and the predictable response from the political Left. Rather than addressing the root causes of the unrest, Josh argues that the media and left-wing activists are once again working overtime to spin the story, protect their preferred narrative, and silence legitimate concerns about immigration and public safety. Josh explains why the chaos in Northern Ireland is part of a much larger story unfolding across the Western world: the consequences of mass migration, weak borders, and political leaders unwilling to enforce immigration laws. He argues that the UK's failure to confront these issues head-on has created the conditions for the unrest now playing out in the streets. Later, Josh turns to the latest reports surrounding a potential peace deal between the United States and Iran. With speculation growing that an agreement could be reached as soon as this weekend, Josh examines what such a deal might look like and whether Iran can be trusted to uphold its end of the bargain. He also reminds listeners that President Donald Trump has previously declared negotiations or agreements to be nearing completion, only for talks to break down later. As tensions remain high, Josh explains why skepticism may be warranted until a deal is actually signed and enforced.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Josh opens the show with a fiery case for why Congress must pass the SAVE America Act immediately, pointing to the ongoing vote-counting chaos in California, where ballots are still being counted more than a week after Election Day.

Joining the program is Joel Pollak, Opinion Editor at California Post, who provides the latest on California's vote count and examines whether the outcome was driven by election fraud, controversial ballot-harvesting practices, or a system that many voters believe lacks transparency. Pollak and Josh discuss what these delays mean for election integrity and whether reforms are urgently needed. Later, Josh turns to Iran as the United States launches another round of strikes against the regime. He breaks down President Donald Trump's latest comments and argues that the recent military action reveals something critical about the President's approach to foreign policy: strength, deterrence, and a willingness to act when America's interests are on the line. Josh explains why he believes the administration's actions are sending a clear message to both Tehran and America's adversaries around the world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Josh Hammer explains why yesterday's closed-door hearing on Capitol Hill confirms that the corporate media lied about Secretary of War Hegseth issuing a "kill order" on a narco-terrorist boat in the Caribbean Sea in early September. He didn't, as yesterday's testifying Navy admiral confirmed. In reality, the administration is simply acting to defend the American homeland and the American people—much as it is also doing when it comes to its immigration enforcement operations. Josh also breaks down the week's major legal updates—namely, the long-overdue arrest of the infamous D.C. pipe bomber and the huge Supreme Court victory for the State of Texas and House Republicans on the question of the Lone Star State's controversial newly redrawn congressional map.

Josh Hammer explains how "climate change" alarmism, which not so long ago was all the rage on the activist Left, has all but died as a political force. Why is that? Josh unpacks all the angles. But any which way one can approach it, the climate change jig is now up with the American people—and even for many leftist elites and elected Democrats themselves. Also, Josh reviews the latest twists and turns in the ongoing Minnesota Somali fraud fallout story and explains why everyone on the Right must sober up when it comes to Islam and immigration. This includes purportedly "America First" pundits, such as Tucker Carlson, who drape themselves in the American flag while serving as useful idiots for sharia supremacism and anti-Western subjugation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Josh Hammer explains again why Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is not a "war criminal," as the Left has ludicrously been suggesting. Why are leftists pushing this lie so hard? Hint: It has nothing to do with Hegseth himself or his actions, and everything to do with undermining President Trump's agenda every which way they possibly can. Josh also tackles the latest silly controversy over President Trump's harsh words on Somali immigrants, unpacks yesterday's Tennessee special election and crucial First Amendment case argued at the Supreme Court, and discusses last night's inspiring PragerU gala at Mar-a-Lago. If America seeks to turn around its various social maladies, there is perhaps nothing more important than inspiring young men and women and filling them with hope and gratitude.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today’s show, Josh Hammer reflects on the true meaning of Thanksgiving and what all Americans should keep in mind as we enter the holiday season — gratitude, humility, and the shared values that bind the nation together.Josh is then joined by Charles Murray, Hayek Emeritus Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and author of the new book, "Taking Religion Seriously".
