Josh pulls no punches as he breaks down the opening night of TPUSA's AmFest conference in Phoenix, where Ben Shapiro delivered a memorable speech.

Josh then gives the latest on the Brown University murders and the increasingly botched investigation into finding the suspect.

On today’s show, Josh dives into the horrific terror attack in Australia and tears apart the Left’s knee-jerk calls for gun control—arguing they completely miss the real threat staring us in the face. He breaks down why the warning signs for an attack like this were obvious to anyone willing to look. Josh then turns to Brown University, where two people were murdered over the weekend, and explains why the same tired gun-control rhetoric won’t save anyone there either—especially with the suspect still on the loose. Finally, Josh responds to Megyn Kelly’s recent on-air swipe at him and exposes what her attack really reveals about her priorities and worldview.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Josh Hammer unpacks the decades-long rise of Communist China and explains why President Trump cannot now go wobbly when it comes to confronting and containing this preeminent civilizational foe.

Beijing cannot be appeased—it must be defeated in every way other than the actual military battlefield itself. Josh also blasts Indiana Republicans for their failed redistricting effort, explains the latest twists and turns in the roiling Somali fraud scandal, unpacks why the terrorist Syrian leadership still cannot be trusted, and more.

Today, Josh breaks down President Trump’s campaign swing through Pennsylvania and why the economy remains the single biggest factor heading into the 2026 midterms. Josh makes it clear: The data may show lower inflation, but if Americans don’t feel it, the White House has a real problem. He lays out what the president must do to regain voter confidence and rebuild momentum on the economic front. Josh then pivots to the stunning outcome in the Miami mayoral race, where a Democrat won for the first time in thirty years. He warns that these results—Miami, Tennessee, Virginia, New Jersey, and beyond—are screaming red alerts for the GOP, and Republicans need to wake up fast or risk losing far more in 2026.This is a full-throttle political reality check the Right needs to hear.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this must-listen episode, Josh Hammer pulls no punches as he exposes the bad actors corrupting the conservative movement — including Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, and the grifters cheering them on. Josh breaks down Tucker’s latest bizarre comments about buying a house in Doha, Qatar, and torches the delusion behind pretending Qatar is some kind of model society. Josh also details Qatar’s deep ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and highlights what Florida is doing to push back against creeping sharia influence in the U.S. Then he turns to the Left, calling out Rep. Jasmine Crockett for her latest unhinged proposal on reparations — another desperate attempt to score headlines at the expense of common sense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He lays out why Trump is right to push back against Washington’s ever-growing control and how this legal battle could reshape the federal government’s power for years to come.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Josh Hammer explains why yesterday's closed-door hearing on Capitol Hill confirms that the corporate media lied about Secretary of War Hegseth issuing a "kill order" on a narco-terrorist boat in the Caribbean Sea in early September. He didn't, as yesterday's testifying Navy admiral confirmed. In reality, the administration is simply acting to defend the American homeland and the American people—much as it is also doing when it comes to its immigration enforcement operations. Josh also breaks down the week's major legal updates—namely, the long-overdue arrest of the infamous D.C. pipe bomber and the huge Supreme Court victory for the State of Texas and House Republicans on the question of the Lone Star State's controversial newly redrawn congressional map. Josh also zooms out and explains what the GOP must do to forestall carnage at the ballot box come 2026—and perhaps 2028 as well. He ends, as always on Fridays, with our "Hammertime" segment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Josh Hammer explains how "climate change" alarmism, which not so long ago was all the rage on the activist Left, has all but died as a political force. Why is that? Josh unpacks all the angles. But any which way one can approach it, the climate change jig is now up with the American people—and even for many leftist elites and elected Democrats themselves. Also, Josh reviews the latest twists and turns in the ongoing Minnesota Somali fraud fallout story and explains why everyone on the Right must sober up when it comes to Islam and immigration. This includes purportedly "America First" pundits, such as Tucker Carlson, who drape themselves in the American flag while serving as useful idiots for sharia supremacism and anti-Western subjugation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Josh Hammer explains again why Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is not a "war criminal," as the Left has ludicrously been suggesting. Why are leftists pushing this lie so hard? Hint: It has nothing to do with Hegseth himself or his actions, and everything to do with undermining President Trump's agenda every which way they possibly can. Josh also tackles the latest silly controversy over President Trump's harsh words on Somali immigrants, unpacks yesterday's Tennessee special election and crucial First Amendment case argued at the Supreme Court, and discusses last night's inspiring PragerU gala at Mar-a-Lago. If America seeks to turn around its various social maladies, there is perhaps nothing more important than inspiring young men and women and filling them with hope and gratitude.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, Josh Hammer breaks down the stakes of a major special election in Tennessee, asking whether Democrats actually have a shot at flipping a deep-red seat — and what that would signal heading into 2026. Josh then updates listeners on the Russia–Ukraine peace talks being facilitated by the United States and what the latest developments mean for global stability.Next, Josh torches the Left’s ongoing witch hunt against Pete Hegseth over a drug-boat strike earlier this year, exposing how critics are twisting the facts to score political points. Finally, Josh is joined by Oren Cass, Chief Economist at American Compass, to dig into the one issue that will define the next election: the economy. Cass explains why inflation is dramatically lower than when President Trump took office, how messaging — not numbers — drives voter perception, and why tariffs play a far smaller role in consumer prices than the media wants you to believe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today’s show, Josh Hammer breaks down the horrific terror attack that struck the day before Thanksgiving — and why it’s a direct consequence of reckless, wide-open immigration policies. Josh demands urgent action to fully vet every Afghan refugee brought in under the Biden administration and calls for a temporary pause on all migration until we actually know who is entering the country.Josh then turns to the week’s major geopolitical development: the U.S. striking narco-terrorist boats in international waters. He explains why the attacks were legally justified, pointing to a 1936 Supreme Court case that strongly backs the legality of decisive action against foreign criminal threats.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today’s show, Josh Hammer reflects on the true meaning of Thanksgiving and what all Americans should keep in mind as we enter the holiday season — gratitude, humility, and the shared values that bind the nation together.Josh is then joined by Charles Murray, Hayek Emeritus Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and author of the new book, "Taking Religion Seriously".

Josh opens the show by breaking down the chaos unfolding in Dearborn, Michigan over the past month—from nonstop protests to openly anti-American rhetoric coming from the mayor, and even “death to America” chants echoing through the streets. He explains why this moment should alarm every citizen who believes in the American way of life.Josh then turns to a historic anniversary many have forgotten: the start of the Nuremberg Trials on November 20, 1945. He revisits the legal principles that emerged from those trials, what true justice looked like in the shadow of Nazi atrocities, and what lessons we must fight to preserve today. Finally, he calls out the bad actors trying to blur the definition of “Nazi” for political gain—and why that dangerous distortion needs to be confronted head-on.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, Josh takes aim at former Deep State Democrats now turned U.S. Senators who claimed on X that disobeying orders from the president is not only acceptable—but may be necessary.

Josh Hammer opens the show by tearing into the media circus surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein files, exposing how the story has become more about political theater than truth.
