As America approaches its 250th anniversary, Josh takes a closer look at the original purpose and intent of the Second Amendment. Far from being solely about self-defense, the Founders viewed the right to bear arms as a critical safeguard against government overreach and a necessary protection of individual liberty. Josh explores the historical context behind the amendment and why many believe its true meaning is often overlooked in today's political debates.

Joining the show is Dana Loesch, host of "The Dana Show" and one of the nation's most prominent Second Amendment advocates. Dana discusses the ongoing efforts to protect gun rights, the challenges facing firearm owners, and why she believes the Second Amendment remains as important today as it was at the nation's founding.

Josh and Dana also tackle some of the most common arguments and misconceptions surrounding gun rights, separating fact from fiction and discussing how supporters of the Second Amendment can effectively respond to misinformation.

Today, Josh is joined by Lila Rose, founder of Live Action, for an in-depth conversation on the fight for the rights of the unborn and the future of the pro-life movement in America.

Josh and Lila discuss the modern pro-abortion movement, including the role of Planned Parenthood, the abortion services it provides, and the ongoing debate surrounding taxpayer funding. They examine how abortion remains one of the most divisive issues in American politics and why the battle over life issues is far from over.

The conversation also looks at the gains made by the pro-life movement during the administration of Donald Trump, as well as the legal, political, and cultural challenges that remain. Lila explains why she believes there is still significant work to be done to protect unborn children and build a culture that values life at every stage.

Finally, Rose lays out what she believes lawmakers and government leaders must do to end taxpayer funding for abortion providers.

Josh opens the show by breaking down reports of growing divisions inside the White House over how to handle Iran. While one faction is calling for stronger action, others continue to push for diplomacy and renewed negotiations. Josh explains why he believes the time has come for decisive leadership, argues that past attempts to negotiate with the Iranian regime have repeatedly failed, and lays out what he sees as the path toward ending the conflict.

Josh also takes a look at some of the most controversial candidates emerging from the Left in congressional and Senate races across the country, examining what their rise says about the direction of the Democratic Party heading into the midterms.

Later, Josh is joined by Oren Cass of American Compass for a wide-ranging discussion on the economy. The two discuss the president's trip to China, the future of U.S.-China trade relations, and whether any meaningful agreements are likely to come from the visit. They also explore strategies for reducing inflation without triggering the economic pain that can accompany deflation.

Plus, Josh reacts to a recent interview featuring Jeff Bezos, in which Bezos argues that Washington's biggest problem is not necessarily government spending, but government inefficiency. Josh weighs in on the debate and what it means for the future of federal policy and economic growth.
