The Truth on Trump's Tariffs

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.

White House says second deadly drug boat strike was legal

The White House confirms a second military strike was ordered against a suspected drug-smuggling boat to eliminate any survivors. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the September 2nd action as “lethal targeting” and said it was carried out “in self-defense” and “in accordance” with laws governing armed conflict. The strike has drawn scrutiny from lawmakers of both parties after reports that Defense Secretary Hegseth instructed the military to “kill everybody” aboard the vessel. The White House maintains the action was legally justified and necessary to protect U.S. personnel and interests.

Mangione seeks to block evidence in UnitedHealthcare CEO murder case

Luigi Mangione, the 27-year-old accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is asking a New York judge to exclude key evidence ahead of his state trial. During a hearing in Manhattan, Mangione’s attorneys moved to block prosecutors from introducing a handgun they say matches the weapon used in the December 4, 2024, killing. They are also seeking to exclude a handwritten notebook that, according to prosecutors, details his intent to “wack” a health insurance executive. Court officials say the evidentiary hearings could last more than a week, likely extending through the anniversary of the attack. Mangione — an Ivy League-educated member of a wealthy Maryland family — was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, five days after the shooting. His trial date has not yet been set.
