Border Security vs. Liberal Chaos

Josh closes out 2025 with a hard-hitting look at the foreign policy minefield the Trump administration is stepping into as 2026 begins. He’s joined by Rebeccah Heinrichs, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute, for a no-nonsense breakdown of the global threats coming at the U.S. from every direction—China’s ambitions, Venezuela’s instability, Russia’s aggression, and the cascading challenges facing America and its allies. Heinrichs lays out why President Trump is approaching foreign policy with clarity and strength—and what it means for America’s standing on the world stage.

Today, Josh tears into the exploding fraud scandal in Minnesota, where staggering sums of taxpayer money have allegedly been siphoned off by Somali networks—and yet, shockingly, much of the media can’t be bothered to cover it. He breaks down the jaw-dropping numbers, the political cowardice surrounding the story, and what this corruption says about the system failing ordinary Americans.
Josh then turns to President Trump’s decisive airstrike in Nigeria targeting radical Islamist groups that have been slaughtering Christians. He explains what this bold move reveals about Trump’s foreign policy doctrine—and why it stands in stark contrast to the hand-wringing we’ve seen from past administrations.
Josh closes with the latest on Trump’s push for a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia and his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—laying out what these moves signal about the administration’s broader strategy on the world stage.

Today’s show is a no-holds-barred examination of the philosophical and cultural spine of Western civilization—and why it’s cracking. Josh Hammer and Melanie Phillips, author of the new book, "The Builders Stone", sound the alarm on the rapid erosion of Judeo-Christian values, exposing how radical ideologies are undermining the very foundations that built the West. They lay out the indispensable contributions of Judaism and Christianity to our moral and political order, dissect the geopolitical chaos we now face, and argue why reconnecting with these principles is not optional but essential for survival. The conversation also confronts the hard question of Islam’s compatibility with Western norms and digs into the cultural and ideological battles that will determine the future of the West.
