Josh opens the show torching former President Obama’s appearance on CBS’s "The Late Show," calling out the tired rhetoric and blatant hypocrisy that just won’t quit. Josh breaks down why Obama, of all people, has zero credibility lecturing anyone about weaponizing the DOJ—and why it’s long past time for him to step out of the spotlight for good.
Then, Josh pivots to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, unpacking his defense of U.S. military action in the Strait of Hormuz and what it signals about America’s posture abroad.
Finally, Josh digs into the latest polling numbers—cutting through the noise to answer the real question: are these early warning signs for President Trump and Republicans heading into the 2026 midterms, or just more media spin?
