Josh opens the show by discussing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's growing influence within the Democratic Party and what her long-term political aspirations may be. He examines the challenges Democrats face heading into the midterm elections as more DSA-backed candidates emerge and where AOC fits into the movement's future. Josh also discusses Tucker Carlson's latest interview with Hunter Biden, revisiting the controversy surrounding the Hunter Biden laptop story and Carlson's role in the coverage leading up to the 2020 election.
Ike Brannon, President of Capital Policy Analytics, joins Josh to discuss another often-overlooked factor in the inflation debate: tort lawsuits and the hidden costs they pass along to consumers. The two examine how litigation impacts businesses, prices, and the broader economy.
