Sam Bushman and Curt Crosby welcome Nathan Worcester, senior political reporter for The Epoch Times, for a look back at the unprecedented Republican midterm convention in Dallas. They discuss John Fetterman's surprise video appearance, the lack of foreign policy focus despite the Iran war looming over everything, the absence of Senate Majority Leader John Thune, and how the House passed a historic number of bills only to see them die in the Senate. They dig into the MAGA fracturing as figures like Thomas Massie, MTG, Tucker Carlson, and Joe Kent increasingly identify as America First rather than MAGA, the Gen Z conservative movement behind James Fishback, JD Vance's plea for more time, and polling showing young men who powered Trump's 2024 win may sit out or flip Democrat. Plus Trump's $5,000 DOGE dividend promise, the case for abolishing the IRS and Federal Reserve, how Susie Wiles froze out the alt media that elected Trump, and what a 90-day diesel export freeze could mean for the midterms.
