Leftists Have Declared War On The Legal Profession

Josh discusses the latest developments in Iran and whether the war may finally be approaching its endgame. He breaks down the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and what it could mean for global energy markets and oil prices moving forward. Josh also takes aim at the growing campaign on the Left to target and intimidate conservative lawyers, explaining why these attacks strike at the heart of the legal system and the rule of law. He then reacts to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s remarks earlier this week, where Thomas warned that modern progressivism poses a serious threat to America’s institutions and constitutional order. Josh closes the show by examining a new study showing religion declining among young women while rising among young men. He explores why this divide may be emerging and what can be done to reverse a broader trend of declining faith in America.
