Today we're talking to Josh Hammer, conservative commentator and opinion editor at Newsweek. Josh is here to break down a few of the stories that have taken over the news in the last few days, starting with the hostage situation that took place in a North Texas synagogue. Apparently, an armed Muslim extremist thought he could negotiate the release of a convicted terrorist by taking some innocent people hostage. Thankfully, no one lost their lives. However, since then, the media have been working overtime to hide any information about the case that runs counter to their narrative that says white supremacy is basically the only threat America is facing. Then, we discuss the heavy-handed speech Joe Biden gave in Georgia in support of the Democrats' "voting rights" bill. Josh explains how, despite the name, this bill would actually dilute the power of the average American's vote. Lastly, we talk about what the GOP should do and what issues it should focus on heading into the new year in order to capitalize on Democrats' failures and do right by their constituents.\n\n---\n\nTimecodes: \n(0:00) Intro\n(9:30) Interview with Josh Hammer\n(10;00) Breaking down the Colleyville, TX synagogue hostage situation & the media/FBI's reaction to it\n(30:22) Voting legislation in the Senate - will it pass?\n(50:30) What should the Republican party be doing right now / doing better as we get into the midterms season & looking ahead to 2024?\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors: \n\n\nBambee was created specifically for small businesses \u2014 it provides a dedicated HR manager to craft HR policy & maintain your compliance for just $99/month!
