About this episode
Josh discusses the potential Supreme Court vacancy and the implications for constitutional conservatism, featuring guest Rachel Bovard to analyze current political battles and immigration's role in national identity.
Josh opens the show with the rumors swirling about a possible Supreme Court vacancy this summer. If it happens, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Josh lays out exactly the kind of justice he believes belongs on the court and asks the question Republicans must answer: are they serious about putting a true constitutional conservative on the bench — or are we headed for another David Souter mistake? Rachel Bovard, Vice President of Programs at the Conservative Partnership Institute, joins Josh to break down the latest battles in Washington, including the push for the SAVE America Act and the growing divide among Republicans over the massive reconciliation bill. Josh also dives into the latest developments with Iran, reacting to what Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said Friday and what it means for U.S. policy moving forward. To close the show, Josh tackles the biggest question facing the country: who we are as a nation — and how immigration plays a defining role in that identity.
