Today Josh takes a look at where the conservative movement stands today and why some bad actors on the right are trying to hijack what it means to be a conservative. He explains what true conservatism stands for and why those chasing clicks at the expense of the movement need to be called out.
Josh is joined by former Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl, who discusses the growing threat from Iran and why he believes now is the time to confront it. Pearl—recently named board chairman of the U.S.–Israel Education Association—also previews the Sweet Sixteen and shares which teams he thinks could surprise people.
Finally, Josh breaks down the major legal rulings against Big Tech earlier this week and what the decisions could mean long term for social media companies.
