Greenland, Silicon Desert, Police Bodycams and Comedy

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. He argues that it is in America’s best interest for Ukraine to remain independent, and notes President Trump’s consistent position that the priority must be reducing bloodshed while continuing to support Ukraine.

Our second guest is John Trobough, a candidate for Arizona’s First Congressional District. John is running for Congress because he believes our nation is at a crossroads, and Arizona has a unique opportunity to lead—but only if we elect leaders who genuinely care. 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.” Lou explores the irony that police body cameras—originally demanded by anti-police activists—have ultimately done more to undermine that movement than anything else. He also discusses his book, “That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore: On the Death and Rebirth of Comedy,” where he examines how humor has been shaped by woke culture. Lou argues that for years, comedians trying to push back against Donald Trump often relied on the same recycled jokes, which ultimately opened the door for a new wave of comics willing to tackle topics others were afraid to touch.
