Today's show is sponsored by Balance of Nature.

Josh analyzes all angles of President Trump's much-anticipated and closely watched visit to Beijing, where he will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping. With so much on the line—from trade to Iran to Taiwan to AI to fentanyl, and more—Josh assesses how Trump can best apply leverage and ensure this meeting goes well for the United States and our interests.

Also, Josh discusses a truly horrifying new commission report about the extent of the sadistic, barbaric sexual violence committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023. Interestingly, this report was released just a day after The New York Times published one of the most atrocious blood libels in modern media history. Are the two events connected?

Plus, the latest updates in all things redistricting.

The Supreme Court is allowing Alabama to redistrict its congressional maps, as Southern states continue to comply with the court's recent landmark Voting Rights Act decision. Meanwhile, Virginia Democrats have tossed up a Hail Mary legal appeal that will surely lose. Overall, Republicans are the big redistricting winners. But will it actually matter?

On the international stage, President Trump prepares to embark on a high-stakes trip to China. There is a lot riding on this meeting, and Josh breaks down all you need to know—including the best way to really stick it to the Chinese and Iranians while the president meets Xi Jinping on foreign soil.

Rep. Brad Knott (R-N.C.) also joins the program to discuss the congressional debate over reauthorization of FISA surveillance and the ever-thorny, long-standing question on which this debate ultimately hinges: What is the proper way to view the trade-off between liberty and security?

Josh opens the show with the escalating conflict involving Iran, breaking down the explosive comments made over the weekend by Israel’s prime minister alongside President Trump’s latest remarks. Josh asks the question many Americans are now demanding answers to: why isn’t the United States unleashing the full force of its military might against the Iranian regime? He dives into who may be standing in the way, whether the administration is serious about confronting Tehran, and if so-called “peace talks” are anything more than a delaying tactic from a desperate regime.

Then, Katie Pavlich, host of Katie Pavlich Tonight, joins Josh for a wide-ranging and hard-hitting conversation. The two discuss the rapidly approaching midterm elections, whether Republicans can realistically hold the House, and the growing political fallout surrounding Iran. They also examine the divisions inside the GOP, the political stakes of the conflict overseas, and what voters may be looking for heading into November.
