Jason Chaffetz closes the show with John Ondrasik of Five for Fighting, who previews his July 4th performance aboard the USS Nimitz in New York Harbor for America’s 250th anniversary. Ondrasik discusses performing “Superman” with former Gaza hostage Ilona Weil, honoring first responders, Gold Star families, wounded warriors, and 9/11 heroes, and why music can help spotlight veterans, allies, and the values America must defend. Chaffetz also thanks U.S. service members amid reports of American military action near the Strait of Hormuz and takes listener calls on politics, socialism, BYU football, and why conservatives are leaving blue states. The hour also includes a warning about drones, AI, facial recognition, privacy, and how AI-enabled glasses could be used to identify people in public without consent. Chaffetz ends by praising America as the greatest country on earth and urging listeners to remember military families during the July 4th holiday.

Jason Chaffetz fills in for Sean Hannity and frames the 2026 midterms around two major questions: whether Republicans will actually deliver on the agenda they campaigned on, and how far left Democrats are willing to go. He argues that President Trump reshaped the Republican Party around border security, voter integrity, and working-class priorities, but warns that Senate Republicans must show more urgency, especially on the SAVE Act. Chaffetz contrasts that with what he describes as a Democratic Party being pulled toward socialism by figures like Mamdani, AOC, Bernie Sanders, and other Democratic Socialists. Congressman Pat Fallon joins to discuss China’s influence in American universities, legislation to restrict federal funding for schools tied to Chinese Communist Party programs, and the need to protect sensitive research. Chaffetz also criticizes California’s proposed wealth tax and warns that high-tax, anti-business policies will drive people and companies out of blue states.

Jason Chaffetz opens the second hour by focusing on America’s founding principles and the need for vigilance as the country approaches its 250th anniversary. Former U.S. Attorney Brett Tolman joins to discuss the Charlie Kirk assassination case, including why the case is taking so long, the judge’s gag order, the death penalty remaining in play, and broader concerns about politicized judges and legal overreach. Chaffetz then speaks with Bradley Devlin of The Daily Signal about the documentary Sacred Honor: The Declaration That Defines a Nation, which connects the Declaration of Independence to today’s cultural and political challenges. They discuss Gen Z’s struggle with meaning and purpose, the dangers of AI, the importance of first principles, faith, human dignity, and why younger Americans need to understand the founding story before the country can meet the next generation of threats.
