Paige explores ruling institutions' hostility to rural Americans and red states, and lessons to be drawn from President Trump's 2016 campaign successfully reaching underserved parts of the nation and giving them a voice.
Special segments include:
The Well-Oiled Regime: Failures to represent rural America are intensified by pernicious special interest groups and warped priorities, ranging from the government-facilitated reliance on cheap foreign labor to the revolving door between the DEA and the pharmaceutical industry worsening the opioid epidemic and politicians privileging lucrative global causes over duties to our own citizens.
With Friends Like These: A case study of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham and his unfortunate struggle to prioritize his own voters' welfare.
