Finally, Josh offers his 2026 political wish list, encompassing global affairs, the economy, pending Supreme Court cases, and more.

The Mamdani Apocalypse and Josh’s 2026 Wish List

Josh responds to the pope’s recent comments about the war in Iran and examining how they square with Scripture. He also breaks down the latest developments in the ongoing peace talks between Israel and Lebanon and what the newest updates could mean for stability across the Middle East.

Josh is then joined by Peter St. Onge, Senior Economist at The Heritage Foundation, to discuss the state of the economy and the real key to bringing oil prices down—both here at home and around the world.

Later, Josh reacts to a major Left-wing influencer once again making headlines with inflammatory comments, and he explains why Republicans would be wise to spotlight rhetoric like this to show just how far outside the mainstream parts of the modern Left have drifted.

Josh is then joined by Lee Smith, writer for Tablet Magazine and author of The China Matrix, to discuss Iran and what it will take to know when the job there is truly complete. Smith also offers insight into how Iran’s military is responding to the war.

Later, Josh reacts to a bombshell report from the Department of Justice regarding biased enforcement of the FACE Act by the Biden administration against pro-life activists. Josh explains why the revelations matter and how conservatives should respond.

Josh also dives into the latest political fallout after Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell resigned following sexual assault allegations that surfaced over the weekend—and why the sudden return of #MeToo-style scrutiny in this case caught many observers by surprise.
