Episode 59 – “To be Young and Republican” – School Shame with Aaron Farris

As a student at the high school, I have had a firsthand account of the liberal bias that is infecting Albert Lea High School."

Episode 58 – “Entry-Level Politics” – What Republicans can Learn from Young Life & Pyramid Schemes

 

Kip and Max discuss the necessity for Republicans to enter into a customer service "funnel" when it comes to attracting, engaging, and retaining new activists. The discussion leads to customer service mentality, community, restaurant satisfaction techniques and private-sector lessons we can learn from as a party. One such example is that of Young Life, which is a youth ministry that boasts, "We invite kids to follow Christ, care for them regardless of their response, and change lives in the process." What if we took that same mentality to the political field? What if looked at our call as conservatives as meeting people where they are, integrating them into a community, and following up with them in the same way?

 

Kip and Max explore this very concept and what it'd look like practically.

Episode 57 – “Mourning and the Religion of Politics” – Prioritizing Humanity First

 

Kip and Max discuss the recent student walkout at the Highlands Ranch STEM School when politicians tried to turn their mourning into political capital. We discuss the nature of politics and bias confirmation, along with the left's tendencies to use moments like the Wellstone funeral as overtly-political events. The left and the right are slowly making politics religious calls - ignoring the humanity and mourning in such events as the STEM school shooting and the Paul Wellstone funeral amongst others.
