In this episode, the focus is on Indiana’s redistricting meltdown and what it reveals about the broader state of the Republican Party heading into 2026. Sen. Goode’s remarks on redistricting are highlighted as one of the most ironic speeches on the subject, given how the process ultimately unfolded in Indiana.

Listeners hear how 7 of the 21 Senate Republicans are up for reelection in 2026, and why that matters when party leaders choose appeasement over accountability. The episode walks through the Indiana redistricting “surrender,” how it was covered in outlets like The Federalist and Twitchy, and why some conservatives argue that primaries—not general elections—are where the real battles must be fought.

The show also digs into the role of political consultant Cam Savage, who works with Senator Todd Young, and how consultant-class strategy can collide with grassroots expectations. Using Indiana as a case study, the conversation raises the question of whether weak redistricting fights today are setting Republicans up for electoral disaster tomorrow.
