Josh opens the show by discussing the SAVE America Act and the misinformation surrounding the bill coming from Democrats.

Josh also breaks down what options Republicans have if they want to move the bill forward without Democratic support. Josh then turns to the latest developments involving U.S. strikes against Iran, discussing why the ultimate definition of “victory” remains unclear to many Americans.
