Josh opens the show by breaking down what's next in the birthright citizenship case following the Supreme Court's ruling. He explains what the decision actually means, where the legal battle goes from here, and why the fight over the Constitution's interpretation is far from over.

Next, Josh discusses the continued shift on the transgender issue, arguing that common sense is finally beginning to prevail on what should be an overwhelming bipartisan issue. He examines the cultural and legal momentum behind the debate.

Finally, Josh turns to immigration, highlighting a feisty hearing on Capitol Hill that underscored both the progress made in securing the border and the challenges that remain. He explains why stronger enforcement is still needed—particularly in blue cities—and what lawmakers should prioritize moving forward.

Josh opens the show by breaking down the Supreme Court's final rulings of the term, including two major victories and one significant setback for the Trump administration.

Later, Professor Ilan Wurman joins the show to analyze the Court's birthright citizenship decision, breaking down the dissenting opinion and what it reveals about the constitutional questions still at the heart of the case.

Finally, Josh provides the latest update on Iran, discussing where negotiations stand, the significance of several high-profile meetings scheduled for later this week, and what they could mean for the future of a potential agreement.

Josh opens the show by discussing the rise of New York mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani and what his victory says about the Democratic Party's continued embrace of socialism. Josh explains why Democrats are no longer running from the socialist label and what this ideological shift could mean for the future of the party and the country.

He then breaks down the latest Supreme Court rulings, explaining why they send mixed signals and what their long-term implications could be for executive power, the judiciary, and the Constitution.

Next, Stephen Moore, co-founder of Unleash Prosperity, joins the show to discuss the Democratic Party's socialist turn and why younger Americans are increasingly embracing the ideology.

Finally, Rachel Bovard, Vice President of Programs at the Conservative Partnership Institute, joins Josh to discuss the SAVE America Act and its prospects following the Supreme Court's latest election law ruling. She explains what the decision means for election integrity, voter registration, and whether Congress still has a path forward on election reform.
