Josh opens the show by breaking down Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s headline-grabbing speech in Germany. He explains why Rubio’s address was a home run, what message it sent to Europe and America’s adversaries, and what comes next following the powerful remarks. Josh also discusses why he believes Europe has become a shadow of its former self and argues that the time has come for European leaders to stop apologizing and start leading. He then turns to the latest developments in Iran as protests continue across the country, calling out what he sees as the deafening silence from many Democrats and why he believes that silence effectively sides with the ruling regime. Later, Josh is joined by Erick Erickson, host of The Erick Erickson Show, to preview the 2026 midterm elections and lay out what Republicans must do to maintain control of both the House and Senate. To close the episode, Josh reflects on the history of Presidents' Day and shares what the holiday means to him personally.
