About this episode
Josh discusses dangerous rhetoric from the Left, geopolitical tensions in Iran, and interviews Professor Richard Epstein about birthright citizenship and the 14th Amendment.
Josh opens the show by taking aim at the dangerous rhetoric coming from the Left, including late-night host Jimmy Kimmel doubling down after joking about the assassination of the President. Josh breaks down why this kind of rhetoric is becoming normalized in mainstream culture—and why the media refuses to hold its own side accountable. Josh then turns to the latest developments in Iran and the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region, reacting to Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s comments about the possibility of a ceasefire and what it could mean for America’s role moving forward. Later in the show, Josh is joined by Professor Richard Epstein, author of The Myth of Birthright Citizenship: What the 14th Amendment Really Says. Epstein joins Josh to unpack the history of the 14th Amendment and explain why the modern debate over birthright citizenship is often built on misconceptions—and what the Constitution actually says.
