On today’s show, Josh breaks down the latest developments with Iran after President Trump set a clear red line—and Tehran crossed it. While Josh has long been skeptical of “red line” diplomacy, he explains why the president now has to act to avoid projecting weakness or the appearance of empty threats. Josh then turns to the unrest in Minneapolis, where some within the administration are labeling the ongoing riots an insurrection and urging the president to consider invoking the Insurrection Act. He closes the show with a broader cultural discussion on personal responsibility, reacting to Oprah’s recent comments about weight loss, willpower, and genetics—and why that debate matters far beyond diet and health.
