Yes, out of nearly 2,000 podcasts, I can definitely say that this is the most important one ever, because it speaks to the most existential threat to our political future and, in turn, our civilization. I connect the dots of Trump’s liberal endorsements, liberal positions, platform change, obsession with Project 2025, and obsession with talking down pro-life and talking up homosexuality to prove how Trump is creating a long-term franchise to own America’s right and then brand it as a Macron- or Bloomberg-style coalition that is a big tent for the corporatist left minus the very far left. The one thing that stands in his way is a principled nationalist right, which is why he is actively waging war against it. I’m not saying not to vote for him; it’s not even Labor Day yet. I appeal to all my colleagues to get on the playing field and exert ourselves over him. He needs pushback before it’s too late. As always, I offer hope about budding endeavors in red states, but those budding successes will be crushed if we allow Trump to consolidate a long-term franchise around a center-left agenda.
