The Josh Hammer Show

Trump Towers Over Democrat Ingrates at SOTU

Sponsored by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Today, Josh recaps President Trump’s State of the Union address, breaking down the biggest highlights from Tuesday night and evaluating what the president got right. He also discusses where Democrats, in his view, once again fell short — particularly their reaction to several of the guests in attendance. Josh asks why many Democrats chose not to stand during moments he believes were meant to unite the country rather than divide it, and what that response says about the current political climate. Later, Josh is joined by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr to discuss why the agency has been in the news recently and to clarify where critics in the media and on the Left may be getting it wrong when it comes to the FCC’s role in regulating the broadcast industry.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trump’s High-Stakes Opportunity To Reset the Conversation

Josh previews President Trump’s State of the Union address set for tonight, breaking down what to expect and why the stakes couldn’t be higher. He takes a look at the history of the State of the Union, why some critics believe the speech has outlived its usefulness, and what Americans should actually be listening for this evening. Josh explains why, once again, it all comes back to the economy — and what the president must say to reassure voters heading into a pivotal year. He also reacts to striking comments from former Obama and Biden administration official Susan Rice, arguing they serve as a warning Americans should not ignore. Plus, Josh dives into the escalating violence in Mexico, particularly in resort cities south of the border, and discusses what steps the administration may need to take to restore order and protect American interests. Later in the show, Jan Jekielek — senior editor at The Epoch Times, host of American Thought Leaders, and author of Killed to Order — joins Josh to discuss his investigation into China’s ongoing organ harvesting practices and what he uncovered in his powerful new book.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Can’t We Just Enjoy America’s Olympic Triumph?

Josh opens the show by celebrating Team USA’s gold medal victory over Canada in men’s hockey over the weekend. He reacts to the backlash surrounding the FBI Director celebrating with the team and explains why he believes critics need to lighten up, while also making the case for a return to a time when sports were less political. Josh then turns to the recent interview between Tucker Carlson and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, breaking down Carlson’s comments, what he believes Tucker’s broader goals are, and why the conversation is generating so much attention. He also reacts to eyebrow-raising remarks made by California Governor Gavin Newsom during a weekend stop in Georgia while promoting his new book, and examines what those comments could signal politically.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SCOTUS Strikes Down Trump’s Tariffs. Now What?

Josh opens the show by breaking down Friday’s major Supreme Court ruling on tariffs and what the decision could mean moving forward. He shares where he believes the administration goes from here and why he hopes the president has a backup plan. He then dives into what he calls the latest examples of blue-state dysfunction, including reports that the Chicago Bears could consider moving to Indiana amid Illinois’ high tax environment, and the growing outrage in New York City over the possibility of yet another mayoral tax hike. Later, Jillian Michaels joins the program to discuss the MAHA movement and how RFK is performing in his first year in the administration. They examine what has been accomplished so far, what still needs to be done to put Americans back in control of their health, and whether California can change course politically under Governor Gavin Newsom and current leadership.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trump’s Board of Peace and the Future of Gaza

Josh opens the show by discussing the newly announced “Board of Peace” formed by President Trump and reacts to what was said during Thursday’s press conference. He tackles the big question on many minds: does this new effort have any real chance of succeeding in bringing stability to the region? Daniel Greenfield of the David Horowitz Freedom Center joins the program to discuss his latest research into alleged Somali-related fraud taking place across the country and the broader implications of mass migration policies. Josh then turns to U.S.–Cuba relations amid reports that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been engaged in quiet talks with Cuban leaders, and what those discussions could mean moving forward. To close the show, Josh highlights the significant drop in crime being reported across the country under the Trump administration and DOJ, and explains why he believes too many in the media are focusing on the Epstein case instead of what he sees as major public safety gains.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
