Josh opens the show by discussing what we heard from the president during Monday’s press conference regarding Iran. He explains why he believes it’s important for the president to set clear objectives and communicate them directly to the American people. Josh also highlights the messaging coming from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, arguing that the administration has been communicating clearly as the strikes in Iran continue.

Frank Gaffney, president of the Institute for the American Future, joins the program to discuss the potential end goals in Iran and why he believes sharia law poses a significant threat that Americans should take seriously.

Later, Joe Borelli, Former Republican Minority Leader of the New York City Council, joins the show to discuss the ISIS-inspired terror attack in New York City and the broader leadership challenges facing the city since Mayor Mamdani took office. Borelli also weighs in on New York City’s spending trends, why he believes the current approach may ultimately require higher taxes, and his concerns about the mayor’s leadership and the team surrounding him.
