Summary
Our first guest today is Josh Hammer, senior editor-at-large at Newsweek , host of The Josh Hammer Show , and author of Israel and Civilization: The Fate of the Jewish Nation and the Destiny of the West . Josh explores America's long-standing interest in Greenland, dating back to the Lincoln and Truman administrations. While Denmark maintains limited authority over the territory, NATO oversees much of Greenland's day-to-day security—and with the United States serving as the backbone of NATO, Josh explains how this history and reality help frame President Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland. Josh also weighs in on the war in Ukraine, examining possible timelines for its conclusion.

As the epicenter of the next-generation economy, Arizona may not replace Silicon Valley, but it has the potential to become the "Silicon Desert." John joins us to discuss the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, why it's critical that we get ahead of it, and how we can ensure innovation and economic growth truly benefit Arizona's economy. Comedian and writer Lou Perez joins us to talk about his recent piece, "Police Bodycams: The Left's Biggest Self-Own."
