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.

Feds Investigate Shooting At New Hampshire-Canada Border Crossing

A person was shot near the Canadian border in New Hampshire early Sunday by a U.S. Border Patrol agent who was returning fire, investigators said Monday. The person was taken to a hospital, officials said. The FBI said the shots were fired around 1 a.m. Sunday in Pittsburg, a town of about 800 people at the border with Canada. The agency did not provide a name of the suspect, but said the person was receiving medical attention at a hospital. The Border Patrol agent, whom the FBI also did not name, was unharmed, an agency spokesperson said. Pittsburg is a rural community that is home to the state's sole border crossing with the Canadian province of Quebec. The shots were fired near the port of entry, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott said. The FBI's Boston field office will be investigating the shooting along with the U.S. Attorney's Office in the District of New Hampshire, authorities said. "Initial reports indicate that the subject opened fire on the agent at which time the agent returned fire," Scott said in a statement. “CBP is cooperating fully with investigators.” Officials with the FBI, CBP and U.S. Attorney's Office declined to provide more detail on the suspect or the circumstances that led to the exchange of gunfire. The U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement that information would be released if charges are brought against the person. Pittsburg is about 150 miles (241 kilometers) north of the state capital of Concord. The town borders Maine and Vermont as well as Canada. The shooting took place near a usually quiet crossing in the only town in New Hampshire that borders Canada. That international border stretches for close to 60 miles (97 kilometers).

Mexico Raises Tourism Concerns After Violence Tied To Cartel Leader’s Death

Mexican authorities on Monday deployed an additional 2,000 military troops to the western state of Jalisco following violence in the wake of the capture and death of Mexico's most-wanted cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera, known as "El Mencho." This weekend's killing of a cartel leader in Mexico is impacting travel plans and stoking fears of a plunge in tourism. Much of the country remains on edge at this time.

Officers Struck By Snowballs; NYPD Investigating

New York City police are investigating after officers were pelted with snowballs while responding to a massive snowball fight at Washington Square Park in Manhattan, as a winter storm blanketed the Northeast in snow. A video of the fracas shows two uniformed officers pacing a walkway in the park Monday as snowballs fly at them from all directions, hitting the officers and covering them in snow. The officers, growing visibly frustrated, shoved at least two people to the ground as snowballs continued to whizz by. At one point, a person runs up behind an officer and mushes some snow onto his head. One of the officers can be seen rubbing his eye toward the end of the video. In a statement Tuesday, the New York Police Department said multiple uniformed officers were struck in the face with snowballs and were “removed by EMS in stable condition" to a nearby hospital, but did not disclose additional information on their injuries. No arrests have been made. Jessica Tisch, the city’s police commissioner, called the behavior “disgraceful” and “criminal" and said the department is investigating. Several political figures in the city were quick to denounce the dust up, with many of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s critics seizing on the incident as evidence that respect for law enforcement has declined under the new mayor, who faced attacks during his campaign over criticisms he made of the department in 2020. Mamdani has walked back those past remarks. Mamdani, in a post on X on Tuesday, wrote “Officers, like all city workers, have been out in a historic blizzard, keeping New Yorkers safe and cars moving. Treat them with respect. If anyone’s catching a snowball, it’s me.”

Utah Judge Rejects Bid To Disqualify Prosecutors In Charlie Kirk Case

A Utah judge on Tuesday rejected a bid by lawyers for the alleged killer of conservative activist Charlie Kirk to disqualify a team of prosecutors that included a lawyer whose daughter had witnessed the killing as the victim spoke on a stage. The decision by District Court Judge Tony Graf was in response to a challenge by defense lawyers for Tyler Robinson, who contended prosecutors from the Utah County Attorney's Office had a conflict of interest due to the presence of the 18-year-old daughter of a senior attorney at Kirk's September 10 murder. Robinson's attorneys said the prosecutors' decision less than a week later to seek the death penalty showed a "strong emotional reaction" from Chad Grunander, the senior prosecutor at the county attorney's office whose daughter alerted him to the murder in a string of text messages. Grunander testified that his daughter's presence at the shooting did not play any role in Utah County Attorney Jeffrey Gray's decision to seek the death penalty. In a decision issued from the bench and live-streamed, Graf said the ultimate charging decision rested solely with Gray and was grounded in evidence against Robinson. “His (Gray’s) decision to seek the death penalty was based upon his assessment that the death penalty is appropriate,” Graf said in his verbal ruling. “His (Grunander’s) daughter’s presence at the rally did not materially influence Mr. Gray's decision-making," the judge said, adding that the decision to seek the death penalty was "supported by credible testimony." Robinson was not on camera and spoke only once, to tell the judge he was able to hear the proceedings. The 22-year-old was studying to be an electrician at the time of the shooting. Robinson is accused of firing a single round from a rooftop that struck down Kirk as he debated students at Utah Valley University in Orem during a tour of U.S. colleges. Kirk was credited with mobilizing young voters who helped President Donald Trump win the 2024 election. His assassination on stage in front of hundreds of onlookers was a stunning public display of mounting political violence in the U.S. In a February 3 hearing, Grunander testified that his daughter followed Kirk online and was excited to see him speak in person. Graf said there was no evidence that Grunander or any member of his family was biased regarding Robinson. The suspect is charged with aggravated murder, witness tampering and obstruction of justice. He will not enter a plea until after a preliminary hearing, tentatively scheduled for mid-May. Graf scheduled the next hearing for March 13 and set an evidentiary hearing on April 17.

What Can We Expect From Trump's State of the Union Address?

Mamdani's Anti-Cop Hate Sparks Snowball Assault On NYPD

Radical Mayor Zohran Mamdani's inflammatory rhetoric—labeling NYPD as "racist, evil, wicked, and corrupt"—has incited chaos, as a blizzard snowball fight in Washington Square Park devolved into criminal attacks on officers, with snowballs and ice chunks hurled at close range. Conservative leaders like Cuomo, Adams, and Malliotakis rightly blast Mamdani for setting this dangerous tone, while NYPD probes the "disgraceful" assaults and unions demand arrests—proving leftist disdain erodes respect for heroes in blue.

Two Missouri Deputies Killed In Shootings; Suspect Also Dead

Two Missouri sheriff’s deputies were fatally shot — one during a traffic stop and another hours later in a shootout with the suspect, who was also killed, authorities said. Christian County Sheriff Brad Cole said the initial shooting happened Monday during a traffic stop south of Highlandville in southwest Missouri. The deputy killed in the initial shooting was identified as Gabriel Ramirez. Cole described Ramirez as kind and dependable, saying he “was always a friend” and someone people could lean on. Roughly 100 officers, deputies and state troopers joined the search for the suspect. The effort also included agents from the U.S. Marshals Service, Federal Bureau of Investigation and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Authorities located the suspect’s abandoned truck several miles away near Reeds Spring and began searching nearby wooded areas. Early Tuesday, deputies approached a heat signature detected in the woods when the suspect opened fire, striking three deputies. A second Christian County deputy was killed in the exchange. Two other deputies — from Christian and Webster counties — were wounded, but their injuries are not considered life-threatening. Law enforcement officers returned fire, killing the suspect. The investigation remains ongoing.

Volunteers are combing the desert just outside Tucson for Nancy Guthrie, the mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, who has been missing for three weeks. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department says it appreciates the public’s concern but is urging volunteers to give investigators space to do their work.

Judge weighs prosecutor conflict in Charlie Kirk murder case

A Utah judge is set to decide whether to remove prosecutors from the murder case against Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk during a rally at Utah Valley University. Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty in the Sept. 10 shooting. Robinson’s attorneys argue that Deputy County Attorney Chad Grunander has a conflict of interest because his daughter was in the crowd when Kirk was shot. Judge Tony Graf could remove one prosecutor, the entire Utah County Attorney's Office, or allow the team to remain on the case. The court is also considering other measures to ensure Robinson’s right to a fair trial, including restrictions on courtroom cameras and video evidence of the shooting.

Britain Considers Removing Prince Andrew From Line Of Succession

Britain’s government says it is considering legal changes to remove Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the royal line of succession. Although he lost his titles over his links to Jeffrey Epstein, the former Prince Andrew remains eighth in line to the throne. Any change would require an act of Parliament and approval from other countries that share the British monarch as head of state — including Australia, whose leader says he supports the move.
