The Josh Hammer Show

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.

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.
