This time must be different. Today, I explain why and how Republicans can use the mandate they have to save the country and build a durable electoral coalition. If they merely act the way they always do, they will not only screw us on policy but also lose their electoral viability. I explain the mixed bag on coalition shifting, how Republicans might not even win the House, and why the House didn’t track with the presidential election. Based on this assessment, I list some immediate challenges and opportunities. They have a clear mandate on crime and immigration, and those are the best issues for their coalition. Also, we must floor the gas pedal in red-state legislatures and 2026 gubernatorial primaries.

Not everything hinges upon the presidency. Today, I take a deep dive into the doctrine of the lesser magistrate and how conservatives can and must create impervious red islands through which to govern in accordance with God and the Constitution. Thankfully, new data shows that people are self-sorting and this is already beginning to occur. If Trump wins, blue states will teach us a lesson in the power of federalism. They are already planning to implement their policies at the state level. We must learn from them and do the same thing if Harris wins. But here’s the kicker: Even if Trump wins, we must fortify red states while we still can. I explain how even some of our federal focus should be directed toward devolving power to the states. We have so much energy behind voting Republican in a presidential election. My final message for this year is that we must harness that energy every day in between presidential elections to focus on red-state primaries and legislative sessions.

Nobody is putting forth a realistic solution to the twin economic and illegal immigration crises we face — regardless of who wins the election. We briefly broach the economic issues to show how we will suffer stagflation regardless of the outcomes, and we need serious thinkers to create escape hatches in the red states. As for illegal immigration, the solution is much easier. We’re joined by Ronald Mortensen, fellow at Center for Immigration Studies and a retired career U.S. Foreign Service officer, who has put forth a comprehensive list of ideas for states to clamp down on identity theft. He makes the case that ID theft is the critical path to illegal aliens remaining in the country and that if states only enforced and augmented those laws, we wouldn’t even need to deport many of them because the employment magnet would dry up. He offers some specific ideas on how states can enforce these laws. Going after ID thefts is the best political, strategic, and legal path to ending the problem, and it can all be done in red states.

While every conservative media personality is obsessed about cheesy election memes, red states are voting on life-altering ballot initiatives. The Left is outspending us everywhere, and outside Florida, there is no organized leadership at top levels of the party to fight these initiatives. Florida is the one place where churches are fully engaged thanks to the governor. We’re joined by Erik Dellenback, the faith- and community-based liaison to Gov. DeSantis, who shares his work with churches on raising awareness about Amendment 4. He explains the proper role of pastors in this fight and why they have an obligation to fight when politics steps into God’s dominion. He believes that because of their other initiatives, they have successfully created a model partnership with faith-based communities that should be replicated in other states. We also discuss why Republicans have been losing on abortion and how Florida’s efforts on behalf of child adoption are helping staunch that bleeding. Overall, we must engage churches on issues within God’s kingdom if we ever hope to stop the bad actors from "California-ing" red states.

First, we begin with a roundup of down-ballot news throughout the country. We continue to lack leadership on any of these issues and races outside Florida. Next, we’re joined by Blaze News investigative reporter Steve Baker for a riveting update on the recovery operations in Western North Carolina. Baker has been on the ground with private veteran groups for two weeks and has formulated a clear vision of what is and isn’t going on there. We cut through some of the misinformation on both sides to conclude that yes, the state Guard, FEMA, and the military have been on the ground, but in shockingly low numbers given the magnitude of the tragedy. He explains how during every other equivalent domestic and even foreign natural disaster, we have used a much larger military presence. He also observes how a well-organized cadre of former special operators have changed the way we respond and are building plans and infrastructure for the future. Finally, he discusses his personal fight with the FBI, as he faces prison time for simply reporting from the Capitol on January 6. We discuss the need for Trump to win and pardon nonviolent offenders but also the need for our side to prepare for resistance from terribly misinformed Republicans.

In our continuing coverage preparing for Republican governance on the other side of the election, I diagnose the problem with the GOP overall. Republicans always focus on yesterday’s issue that is no longer in contention or tomorrow’s distraction that is outside the Overton window. But on the issue in front of us now, which is enough to destroy civilization, they walk in lockstep with Democrats. With that thesis, I give an update on immigration and crime to show how Republicans are actually doing nothing to fight those battles but use cheap talking points about oblique parts of the issue. Likewise, Republicans are basically acquiescing to feminism and gender ideology but are opting to focus on cheap talking points about female sports. I share shocking new survey data showing how feminism and the war on femininity are the source of the transgender problem.

Since 2020, the Right in America has been singularly focused on one mission: re-electing Donald Trump. Now that we are on the cusp of possible victory, do we have a plan for "the day after"? Today, I offer an analysis of the state of the race, but more importantly, try to game out what comes next. I explain how we can’t make this personal about loving or hating one man, but about a relentless focus on arriving at specific outcomes. What are the realistic and unrealistic expectations by issue? I offer some opening thoughts. Also, there are many down-ballot issues and races at stake. We are facing a "use it or lose it" moment with power in red states.

Everyone thinks that our survival hinges upon the election results. Obviously, we don’t want Democrats, but let’s not kid ourselves into believing Republicans will do anything to forestall the financial collapse, unless we change the policies and personnel. First, I warn about some concerning figures on Trump’s transition team and how we need to be prepared as a movement to veto bad Cabinet picks. Next, I’m joined by Tracy Shuchart, an expert in financial and commodities markets, to discuss the unprecedented market signals we are observing. We go through all of the signals from the S&P, gold, Treasuries, and economic data to show how we are facing an intractable stagflation bomb with the likelihood of a credit and housing collapse. We prove how there is not a single viable policy on the table to prevent this. In the meantime, Tracy offers some investment advice. She is bullish on gold and silver and also points to at-risk metals as a possible emerging market to watch.

We need to seriously prepare a plan to hit the ground running if Trump does pull this one out. I raise some concerns about personnel choices, congressional leadership, and the upcoming lame-duck session. Trump must make it clear that Congress should not pass any transformational bills during the lame duck and that all disaster spending must be paid for with unspent funds from the Green New Deal. Next, I break down the tab for this past fiscal year to show how nobody has a plan to stop the deficit-driven inflation from exploding in the next year — and that Republicans will own all the carnage. So why not start building a plan now?

We have a very soft movement that is not willing to power through disruptions in order to pursue good policy. This is true across the board, but particularly on the issue of illegal immigration. I explain how illegal immigration would end overnight if Republicans were willing to go after labor brokers and actually enforce employment laws. The problem is that the Left, through an amalgamation of fiscal, cultural, and immigration policies, has created a self-fulfilling prophecy of Americans not wanting to do construction jobs. Republicans must be willing to power through a temporary disruption by removing illegal aliens, raising wages, and fixing our broken education and welfare incentives. Conservatives need to lead by example. No policy change will happen on its own, and the election will be moot if we don’t build a movement willing to message and implement through adversity.
