On today’s show, Josh Hammer responds directly to Candace Owens’ defamatory attack on him—including her outrageous allegation that he somehow had foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Josh exposes the sheer insanity of her claims, points out the malicious timing of her smear while he was offline for the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, and lays bare the toxic undercurrent of antisemitism fueling her rhetoric. He also unpacks the broader implications of this kind of reckless conspiracism: how it poisons public debate, undermines conservative unity, and distracts from the real battles we need to fight. Josh makes the case for why truth still matters—and why character assassination from within must be called out.
On today’s show, Josh marks the anniversary of the barbaric terrorist attack that struck Israel two years ago—a day of bloodshed and horror the world must never forget. He exposes how the scars of that evil are still tearing through families and communities across Israel and recounts what he witnessed on the ground during his recent visit. Josh doesn’t pull punches as he tackles the defining question of our time: will America continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Israel in its fight for survival, or will weakness and wavering hand the terrorists exactly what they want?
1On today’s show, Josh breaks down the so-called “partial government shutdown” and exposes what Democrats are still demanding you pay for — even after Republicans already passed a bill to stop it. He lays out the only real way the war in Gaza ends and explains why Hamas has zero intention of making peace. And Josh backs Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s mission to cut the bloat, strip away the nonsense, and return the military to what it’s supposed to be: strong, lean, and focused on winning.
Today Josh lays out why he isn’t afraid of a government shutdown — and why a limited, efficient government is far better than the bloated one liberals want to force on you. He points out that, like millions of Americans, he woke up today and life went on as usual. Josh also breaks down the real reason Democrats and Republicans can’t agree on a budget and explains why this is truly a Democrat shutdown, driven by their loyalty to the illegal alien lobby.
Today, Josh exposes the real stakes from Monday’s White House meeting between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu. He lays out why the U.S.–Israel bond is unshakable, why the Palestinian Authority can never be trusted with Gaza, and why Hamas will flat-out reject the so-called “deal” on the table.
On today’s show, Josh takes aim at the Left’s escalating violence and the media figures who keep pouring gasoline on the fire. He breaks down the upcoming Supreme Court case that could shape our future — one every American should be watching closely. And Josh doesn’t hold back on the United Nations, exposing it as a globalist clown show that only the radical left still takes seriously.
Josh unpacks the powerful moments from Charlie Kirk’s memorial in Glendale, AZ, praising the Turning Point team and spotlighting voices like Erika Kirk. He torches Tucker Carlson for trying to rewrite Charlie’s faith and expose yet another attempt to drive a wedge between Christians and Jews. Josh then takes aim at the UN General Assembly as more nations disgracefully move to recognize a "Palestinian" state.
On today’s show, Josh rips into the shameless voices on the Right trying to exploit Charlie Kirk’s death to pit Christians against Jews. He torches the Left’s meltdown over Jimmy Kimmel losing his late-night perch—a so-called “free speech” fight that exposes their blatant hypocrisy. Josh also sounds the alarm on the very real terrorist threats facing America and breaks down the president’s long-overdue crackdown on Antifa.
Josh takes aim at the false claim that “both sides” are guilty of political violence. He lays out example after example of violence from the Left — and exposes the growing belief among progressives that the proper response to speech is force. Josh warns what it means for America if we can no longer debate our differences without celebrating the deaths of those we disagree with.
Josh pulls back the curtain on the private August retreat hosted by Charlie Kirk—and sets the record straight. He takes on Candace Owens and others on the "Right" spreading lies about an alleged Bill Ackman-led “intervention” regarding Israel, exposes the blatant misinformation now being pushed, and shares what really happened behind closed doors.
Josh opens up about processing the murder of Charlie Kirk and calls out those exploiting his death to push their own agenda. He takes on the false narratives being spun — including attempts to rewrite history and claim Kirk was at odds with the Jewish community. Josh highlights the real legacy Kirk was building: strengthening Jewish-Christian relations and laying the foundation for a lasting conservative revolution.
On today’s show, Josh Hammer confronts the turning point America faces after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. He calls out the Left’s twisted narrative that “both sides” need to tone it down — when it’s the Left fueling the violence against those they oppose. Josh also reflects on the real threats we face 24 years after 9/11 and why Americans must stay vigilant in defense of freedom.
Josh Hammer dives into the latest turmoil in the Middle East, exposing why Qatar has been such a bad actor on the world stage and unpacking the motives behind its moves. He explains why Israel’s latest airstrike was the right call — and why it’s time for Qatar to finally pick a side. Plus, Josh takes on Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s bid to out-“Squad” the Squad as the Left pushes harder to defund the police and unleash chaos in our cities.
Josh unloads on the Phillies fan who handed over a ball he’d caught for his son after being bullied in the stands — and why weakness like that sends the wrong message. He also rips the U.S. Open telecast for refusing to show President Trump despite his appearance at the men’s final in New York.
On this episode, Josh takes a hard look at the conservative movement—what’s being done to make it real in America today, and what it will take to deliver lasting conservative policy. He pushes back on the calls to release more of the Jeffrey Epstein "files," arguing why Republicans should be wary of the motives behind this push. Josh also dives into America’s relationship with Israel and exposes the faction within the so-called "Right" that seems determined to drive a wedge between Jews and Christians.
The Republican Party and the conservative movement are at a crossroads. Josh joins us from the sidelines of the National Conservatism Conference in Washington, D.C. and takes off the gloves, exposing the fractures among conservatives and hammering home why unity and strength must be the long-term goal.
Josh Hammer takes on the biggest legal and political flashpoints. He breaks down Trump’s push to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook for cause, the president’s new executive order on flag burning, and the National Guard deployment strategy after D.C.’s crime drop. Josh also applauds Cracker Barrel for changing its logo under public pressure and closes with the tragic Minnesota school shooting — arguing why banning guns won’t solve it, and how trans ideology is the deeper issue.
Josh goes full steam ahead on President Trump’s push to fire Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors. He exposes the Left’s meltdown, dismantles the baseless accusations, and makes the case for why Cook should be shown the door — for cause.
Josh explains the controversy surrounding President Trump's bold new executive order seeking to recriminalize flag burning. He analyzes what the First Amendment says, what the Supreme Court cases say, and more. Josh doesn’t hold back as he tears into the heart of the fight: Is torching the American flag an act of "speech"—or an act of subversive conduct that crosses the line?
Josh dives into President Trump’s relentless push to end the war in Ukraine, breaking down the historic meetings of the past few weeks and laying out what it will take to finally bring peace. He exposes the Democratic lawfare machine that ran wild under Joe Biden—and explains how last week’s ruling delivered long-overdue vindication for Trump. And for those trying to smear the president as a “socialist”? Josh shuts it down with the facts, silencing the critics and setting the record straight.

70XL? Damned.
The problem with populism is that the public generally gets what they want. The public generally gives no consideration to second order or even further removed impacts. The public eventually gets what it wants, good and hard.
Todays center left republican party has become an intersectional coalition of common sense, sanity, and reasonableness. Nothing to cheer about from a policy perspective. There's an urgent need to fortify red states for when the dims regain power and continue ratchetting Overton window left. There's nothing within this coalition that has the vision, or will drive effective long term policy prescriptions to meet that objective.
Shame on you guys! Leave poor Quatar Carlson alone. He can't defend himself! That Carlson grifter is too busy cashing in by selling out.
Where were these self enriching conservative talkers while Trump was endorsing every center left rino he could recruit while shutting out conservative candidates? Where were they while he was pushing to prohibit states from regulating these dystopian AI data centers and #GreenGraft carbon capture? And a lot of other failures from these talking bastards who had Trump's ear and could have persueded him on numerous issues advancing a real conservative agenda.
I could follow on with what I perceive as Elon's fiscal policy to be. A dose of fiscal sanity mixed with some some well strategized policy prescriptions could go far. I expect we'd differ on H1B visas and possibly #GreenGraft depending where he falls on these issues.
More establishmentarian republican"we just don't have enough"and"were just too weak"schtick water carrying rhetoric. Yet everytime there is a primary where a establishment puke faces a potentially good conservative challenger, the party leadership always 100% support the leftist puke. After decades of this act, one begins to think these party leaders are directed actors in a controlled opposition. Perhaps they just don't want an effective foil to reveal just how pathetically feckless they are.
I appreciate your thoughts. but as someone you would consider of the Alamo, I've seen this schtick by the center left republican establishment for far to long to have any buy in. Yes, that includes the mingle with the dimocrats contributor, reform party second guy, and always been center left from youth, Trump. Always the same excuses with the we'll get it next time retort. While I agree there are many good things in the cesspool bill, there is just way too much more of the bad to ignore. Out!
An American, an abusive serial killer of the confined elderly, and a communist jihadi walk into a bar
The Florida Governor is always top shelf!
@13:00 this exchange of an American communicating with a #cnn #presstitute conjured comedic thoughts of how a leftist would explain 'undocumenred' space immigrants showing up in their UAV UFO's to destroy the planet.
Elon Musk. another strong African American valiantly fighting to save this nation from the scourges of leftism. The truly hard core fascistic marxist will never cease to continue punishing him for that. This is why all decent Americans should show support for him where possible and when able and follow on any issue in which he is correctly right thinking.
@2:15 DOGE wins assessed.
The bolsheviks are coming for the kiddies in court now. Heard a clip of one of these scum arguing common English law from the 1500's that because the king had the right to raise all children of the kingdom, these freaks somehow now think that historical law takes precedence over natural law and the US Constitution. it should go without saying to any impartial observer, which US political party supports this preverse insanity.
Ah yes, the "Maryland" man who had a deportation order against him in 2019 with the caveat that he couldn't be sent home as he claimed he was such a bad hombre he would face retribution for his prior acts... That's right the dimocrats can't wait to get him back as your neighbor 'contributing' to your community.
Josh says he doesn't know where the market is headed. I don't know where it maybe going. Why not let the market tell you where it is headed and when it does, check these guys out for signals to capture 80% plus of the best moves available. 30 day free trial. https://ovtlyr.com/?ref=bob63
Josh, a moderate democrat is Donald Trump, not Andy Bashear.
Hoothi and the blowfish
While I usually defer to your analysis and respect for Occam on most issues, I am not yet in agreeance on this one. Knowing who these helpful bureaucratic people are and what they stand for, this app was loaded on the participants phones by these actors. My first and current thought is that this app is malicious in nature and placed by these miscreants desiring to maxamize damage to the administration, and that is my starting point.
