Josh opens the show by sounding the alarm on what he sees as a troubling marijuana trend—arguing that recent developments only reinforce his long-held concerns about legalization. He breaks down what he views as one of President Trump’s missteps on the issue, while also giving credit to a recent New York Times op-ed that highlights the growing scale of drug use across the country. He then turns to Monday’s religious liberty hearing, reacting to testimony and rhetoric that he says unfairly paints Israel as the villain in nearly every context. Josh offers his take on what was said and why it matters in the broader cultural and political debate. Next, Josh dives into the latest controversy surrounding Bad Bunny following his Super Bowl performance and what fallout may still be ahead. He wraps up with a look at immigration, addressing new policy rumors and explaining why, in his view, some of the ideas being floated could undermine the Trump agenda moving forward.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
