Monday, April 20, 2026
Josh opens the show by breaking down the latest developments in Iran following the events of the weekend and what they signal about where the conflict may be heading. He also explains why the opening—and potential closing—of the Strait of Hormuz carries enormous consequences for global energy markets and geopolitical stability.
Josh is then joined by Samuel Goldman, Associate Professor of Humanities at the University of Florida’s Hamilton School, to discuss Christian Zionism—what it is, where it comes from, and why the topic is more relevant today than ever before. The two explore the deep historical roots of the idea, tracing it back to the 1600s, and explain how it continues to shape modern political and religious debates.
Josh closes the show by discussing a tragic story that he argues could have been prevented, highlighting how the Left’s soft-on-crime policies continue to put innocent lives at risk.
