On today’s show, Josh dives into what he describes as a continued “shadow war” against President Trump, as leaks from within the White House persist and Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent announces his departure from the intelligence community . Josh examines what he believes are the motives behind these internal actors and the impact they may have.
Josh is then joined by Sebastien Lai to discuss his father, Jimmy Lai, who remains imprisoned in Hong Kong. Sebastien explains why he believes the president’s upcoming trip to China presents a critical opportunity to press for his father’s release.
To close the show, Josh discusses the government shutdown, reacts to reports involving TSA and questions why, in his view, Democrats are not facing greater political accountability for the situation.
Canada says it was not consulted on U.S.-Israeli strikes against Iran and will not participate in any offensive military action.
Foreign Minister Anita Anand says Canada’s priority is de-escalation and the protection of civilians as the war in the Middle East continues.
She said any NATO-related decisions would be made in coordination with allies and emphasized support for regional stability.
The director of the National Counterterrorism Center has resigned, saying he “cannot in good conscience” support the Trump administration’s war in Iran.
Joe Kent said Iran posed “no imminent threat” to the United States and claimed the conflict was driven by pressure from Israel.
President Donald Trump has pushed back on that claim, offering differing explanations for the strikes.
Kent, who was confirmed last year, led the agency responsible for analyzing and detecting terrorist threats.

Cuba’s national electric grid has collapsed, plunging nearly the entire island into darkness and leaving an estimated 10 million people without power.
Officials say the outage comes amid a worsening energy crisis, fueled in part by fuel shortages linked to a long-standing U.S. oil blockade. The blackout has disrupted daily life across the country, affecting hospitals, transportation, and communications.
Authorities are working to restore electricity, but it remains unclear how long the recovery will take. Residents have been urged to conserve fuel and prepare for continued outages.
The collapse highlights the fragile state of Cuba’s aging infrastructure as the nation grapples with ongoing economic challenges.
