Josh opens the show with the news on a Venezuelan oil tanker being escorted and explains why the United States has a direct strategic interest in what happens in Venezuela, Cuba, and Colombia. He also unpacks the escalating protests in Iran and why the situation is becoming increasingly dangerous.
Josh is then joined by Yuval Levin, Editor of National Affairs, for a deep dive into the state of healthcare reform in America—how we got here, why Republicans have struggled to make political gains on the issue, and why Democrats continue to expand spending without meaningful structural change. Levin also explores the divisions within the conservative movement and why both sides remain overly focused on their fringes.
