Today Josh lays out why he isn’t afraid of a government shutdown — and why a limited, efficient government is far better than the bloated one liberals want to force on you. He points out that, like millions of Americans, he woke up today and life went on as usual. Josh also breaks down the real reason Democrats and Republicans can’t agree on a budget and explains why this is truly a Democrat shutdown, driven by their loyalty to the illegal alien lobby.

The Josh Hammer Show

Limited Government Works — Shutdowns Prove It

As tensions escalate in Iran, Josh breaks down what may come next for the United States. He calls out the bad actors attacking the Iranian protest movement and explains why he would not have used the specific “red line” language President Trump invoked. Josh also covers the antisemitic attack on a Mississippi synagogue over the weekend and explains why the Left’s response has been entirely predictable—while reminding listeners that conservatives must police the bad actors on their own side when it comes to antisemitism.
Josh then turns to the ongoing debate over foreign aid, arguing that the obsession with the issue is often misplaced—even though he believes the U.S. should seriously evaluate reducing foreign aid overall. He closes with a discussion of the latest developments involving the DOJ and the Federal Reserve, emphasizing the need to remember that the Fed is not an independent agency, despite popular belief.

Today, Josh addresses the nationwide protests and lawlessness sparked by the fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE agent during a federal enforcement operation in Minneapolis, which has ignited demonstrations in multiple cities. He explains why, as a country founded on law and order, we cannot accept mob justice or attacks on federal officers and why community leadership in places like Minnesota has helped fuel the crisis. 
Josh then shifts to foreign policy, breaking down why the Trump Administration’s continued discussions about purchasing Greenland are not as far-fetched as critics claim, and why the idea makes strategic sense.
He also covers the escalating protests in Iran, what they mean for U.S. interests, and why the president is right to monitor the dangerous situation as demonstrations continue to build in intensity.

Josh opens the show by breaking down the shooting in Minneapolis, where an ICE agent shot a "queer activist" during an enforcement operation. He explains why the country is once again at a tipping point—and why Minnesota’s leaders helped create the very conditions now exploding around them. Josh also calls out the escalating attacks on ICE nationwide and makes the case for why they must end.
He’s then joined by Richard Goldberg, Senior Advisor for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, to dig into the next steps for Venezuela and the broader message the administration is sending around the world. They also discuss the future of Venezuela’s oil resources and the high-stakes protests in Iran—along with what those protests mean for the stability of the Iranian regime.
