On this episode, Josh takes a hard look at the conservative movement—what’s being done to make it real in America today, and what it will take to deliver lasting conservative policy. He pushes back on the calls to release more of the Jeffrey Epstein "files," arguing why Republicans should be wary of the motives behind this push. Josh also dives into America’s relationship with Israel and exposes the faction within the so-called "Right" that seems determined to drive a wedge between Jews and Christians.

The Josh Hammer Show

Conservatism’s Future, Epstein Distraction, and the Biblical Alliance

Josh Hammer pulls no punches in blasting the newly sworn in democratic socialist mayor of NYC, Zohran Mamdani. Josh explains how Mamdani's praise of the "warmth of collectivism" has terrifying historical connotations, given the totalitarian horrors of the 21st century. Josh then explains why 2025 was actually an excellent year in both domestic politics and global affairs, contrary to the over-abundance of media hysteria suggesting the opposite. Finally, Josh offers his 2026 political wish list, encompassing global affairs, the economy, pending Supreme Court cases, and more.

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.
