The Josh Hammer Show

On today’s show, Josh Hammer breaks down the Supreme Court’s decision to take up the birthright citizenship case, explaining why this is a debate America must have — and why President Trump may have far stronger legal footing than the media wants to admit. Josh walks through the real history behind the 14th Amendment, revealing how the Civil Rights Act of 1866 is the key to understanding what “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” actually meant to the framers.Josh then turns to another major case being argued before the Court today — a fight he says is fundamentally about government expansion versus constitutional limits. He lays out why Trump is right to push back against Washington’s ever-growing control and how this legal battle could reshape the federal government’s power for years to come.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

Today, Josh Hammer breaks down the stakes of a major special election in Tennessee, asking whether Democrats actually have a shot at flipping a deep-red seat — and what that would signal heading into 2026. 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.

On today’s show, Josh Hammer breaks down the horrific terror attack that struck the day before Thanksgiving — and why it’s a direct consequence of reckless, wide-open immigration policies. Josh demands urgent action to fully vet every Afghan refugee brought in under the Biden administration and calls for a temporary pause on all migration until we actually know who is entering the country.Josh then turns to the week’s major geopolitical development: the U.S. striking narco-terrorist boats in international waters. He explains why the attacks were legally justified, pointing to a 1936 Supreme Court case that strongly backs the legality of decisive action against foreign criminal threats.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today’s show, Josh Hammer reflects on the true meaning of Thanksgiving and what all Americans should keep in mind as we enter the holiday season — gratitude, humility, and the shared values that bind the nation together.Josh is then joined by Charles Murray, Hayek Emeritus Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and author of the new book, "Taking Religion Seriously". Murray discusses his decades-long journey from agnosticism to a renewed belief in God — and ultimately toward Christianity. He explains why faith can be approached not only as a spiritual calling but as a rigorous intellectual pursuit, and why rediscovering religion may be essential for America’s future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sabotage. That’s what Josh Hammer calls the latest moves from the courts after dropping the cases against James Comey and Letitia James—a stunning display of legal manipulation that undermines accountability at the highest levels.Josh then turns to the Department of War’s decision to review comments made by Sen. Mark Kelly, and he breaks down what service members should actually do if they believe they’ve been given illegal orders.Next, Josh examines a potential breakthrough in Russia–Ukraine peace talks, offering his take on what it means for America and the world. And finally, he weighs in on Marjorie Taylor Greene’s announcement that she will be stepping down in early January—and what her departure signals for the future of the Right.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Josh Hammer analyzes Elon Musk's game-changing attempt to reveal foreign operators on X before giving us his hot take on the ultimate foreign operator, the Muslim Brotherhood—and why Trump finally looks set to declare it a foreign terrorist organization. Josh also explains why Qatar, the 21st-century financial and ideological  home of the Brotherhood, can no longer have it both ways when it comes to relations with the U.S. Josh is then joined by Luke Moon, executive director of the Philos Project, for a can't miss-conversation about why these latest sinister attempts to divide American Christians and Jews is bound to fail. Luke explains the fallacy of "Christian" arguments against Israel and the Jewish people, as well as why he is optimistic for the future of this all-important alliance.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Josh opens the show by breaking down the chaos unfolding in Dearborn, Michigan over the past month—from nonstop protests to openly anti-American rhetoric coming from the mayor, and even “death to America” chants echoing through the streets. He explains why this moment should alarm every citizen who believes in the American way of life.Josh then turns to a historic anniversary many have forgotten: the start of the Nuremberg Trials on November 20, 1945. He revisits the legal principles that emerged from those trials, what true justice looked like in the shadow of Nazi atrocities, and what lessons we must fight to preserve today. Finally, he calls out the bad actors trying to blur the definition of “Nazi” for political gain—and why that dangerous distortion needs to be confronted head-on.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
