Episode 142 of The Backlash is a full-scale election night breakdown of the 2026 primaries — from the battle for the soul of the Republican Party nationally, to the political civil war unfolding right here in Idaho.

After spending a full week embedded with Congressman Thomas Massie and his campaign in Kentucky, David shares what he saw firsthand on the ground: the rallies, the grassroots energy, the mood among voters, and what the media completely missed about the race. From walking through Massie’s property and meeting supporters face-to-face, to watching the machine politics of Washington descend on Kentucky in real time, this episode offers an inside look at one of the most important political fights in America.

As tens of millions of dollars flooded into races across the country, the question became impossible to ignore: is the Republican Party still controlled by “We The People,” or by billionaire donors, lobbyists, and foreign influence networks like AIPAC?

Then we turn to Idaho, where major establishment figures were defeated, North Idaho legislators held the line, and the grassroots insurgency continued gaining ground — but the fight is far from over. While many America First candidates secured key victories, control of the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee now hangs in the balance after precinct committeeman races resulted in a deadlocked 50-50 split board.

Who actually controls the Idaho GOP? What happens next in Kootenai County? And what do these election results tell us about the future of populism, nationalism, and grassroots politics in America?

This is your complete 2026 Primary Election Roundup — from Kentucky to North Idaho.

With just 8 days until the critical May 19 North Idaho Primary, The Backlash cuts through the noise.

We break down the hottest races on the ballot, show you how to read yard signs for real grassroots momentum, and expose who’s actually organized versus who’s just pretending.

North Idaho Pastor Paul Van Noy is now in full damage-control mode after rescinding his own endorsements of precinct committeemen who signed the pro-abortion initiative. The same candidates he previously recommended and backed. Looks like egg is firmly planted on his face — preaching “no compromise” now after he helped platform them in the first place. So much for discernment from the pulpit.

We also examine the spectacular collapse of Ohio candidate Casey Putsch’s campaign and the hard lessons it holds for North Idaho conservatives about tone, discipline, and avoiding self-inflicted wounds.

Finally, a straight-talk reality check: How early should you really start campaigning if you want to win in North Idaho? (Hint: If you’re not already working — and vetting people properly — you’re already behind.)

This is must-listen for every voter who’s tired of leaders who talk tough after the fact.The Backlash — No RINOs. No Compromise. No Excuses.

On this episode of The Backlash, we sit down with Kevin Kervick — father, grandfather, educator, and outspoken dissident voice challenging the ideological direction of modern psychotherapy and Western culture.

Kevin has spent years speaking out against what he sees as the growing influence of progressive political ideology inside the mental health profession, particularly in the areas of marriage, family structure, masculinity, identity, and child development. As part of a growing reactionary current within the therapy world, he argues that many traditional values and social norms are being systematically undermined by institutions that once claimed to support human flourishing and psychological stability.

We discuss the transformation of the psychotherapy industry, the collapse of trust in modern institutions, the cultural war surrounding family and identity, and why more therapists are beginning to push back against ideological conformity in their profession. Kevin also shares his personal journey, the backlash he has faced for his views, and why he believes the future of the West depends on rebuilding strong families, communities, and cultural confidence.

This is a wide-ranging conversation about culture, psychology, social engineering, and the battle over what it means to live a normal human life in an increasingly abnormal age.

In this wide-ranging conversation, J. Arthur Bloom joins The Backlash to examine the current state of free speech in America, the challenges facing independent journalism, and the rapidly evolving political landscape under Donald Trump’s second term.

From government pressure on platforms and legacy media to the rise of alternative voices, Bloom and the host dig into what real press freedom looks like today — and who’s actually fighting for it. They also explore foreign influence operations, the shifting dynamics of war and national security, and how independent outlets are navigating this new era.

A sharp, no-holds-barred discussion on power, censorship, media integrity, and the future of American politics.

On this episode of The Backlash, we sit down with Michael Thomas, leader of the Catholic Land Movement, to break down one of the most ambitious and practical responses to the cultural and economic unraveling of the modern world.

What does it actually look like to rebuild society from the ground up—rooted in faith, family, and land?

Michael lays out the three core principles driving the movement:

Localism — breaking free from fragile global systems and returning to self-sufficient, community-based living.

Subsidiarity — restoring proper order by pushing decision-making down to the lowest competent level: families, parishes, and local communities.

Solidarity — rejecting atomization and rebuilding real bonds of mutual obligation, sacrifice, and shared mission.

We also dive into the four concrete goals of the Catholic Land Movement, and how they plan to turn these principles into reality—not as theory, but as a lived, boots-on-the-ground model for Catholics and families looking for a way forward.

This isn’t just philosophy—it’s a roadmap.

If the current system is failing, what replaces it?

And more importantly… who is actually building it?

On this explosive episode of The Backlash, host David J. Reilly is joined by Casey Whalen, Ken Silva, Gavin McInnes and Richard Spencer to break down the shocking federal indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the SPLC is facing multiple counts including wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering—allegedly tied to the misuse of donor funds and covert financial channels.

But the real story goes deeper.

Drawing on reporting from the Idaho Tribune and independent investigative threads, this episode explores allegations that SPLC-linked operations may have financially interacted with extremist groups they publicly opposed—including elements tied to the Ku Klux Klan and Aryan Nations networks.

What does this mean?

For the country: Are “hate” narratives being manufactured to drive funding, influence, and control?

For the Pacific Northwest: What role did these alleged activities play in shaping the reputation of regions like Coeur d’Alene?

For the media: Why are major outlets silent on a story of this magnitude?

If even a fraction of these allegations are true, it raises serious questions about how extremism is tracked, funded, and weaponized in America.

This isn’t just a scandal—it’s a potential paradigm shift.

The Backlash starts now.

In this explosive episode of The Backlash, we sit down with Bobby Hatfield — a 50-year veteran of the American radio industry who’s seen it all from the inside.

From Philadelphia to Detroit, Cleveland to Columbus, and beyond, Bobby built a career in radio during its most influential decades — and what he uncovered will change how you hear music, media, and culture forever.

Bobby exposes how the Billboard Top 40 charts were manipulated, how payola shaped what millions of Americans listened to, and how corporate interests — not audiences — decided what became “popular.” Drawing on firsthand experience, he recounts the pressure, corruption, and backroom dealings that defined the industry.

In Detroit during the late 1980s, Bobby clashed with powerful organized crime–connected figures after developing his own independent system to track what listeners actually wanted — refusing to be bought, controlled, or silenced. That decision changed the course of his career, pushing him out of corporate radio and into building his own independent network.

But this episode goes beyond music.

Bobby offers a raw, unfiltered perspective as a Baby Boomer who watched the transformation of American media in real time — from organic culture to manufactured narratives. He breaks down how influence, money, and control reshaped the information landscape — and what it means for the country today.

If you’ve ever wondered whether what you’re seeing, hearing, and consuming is real — this conversation is a must-listen.

North Idaho has always been a battleground — but most people don't know who's really been running it. This week, David J. Reilly sits down with Paul Banducci, entrepreneur, anarcho-capitalist, and co-host of the No ID Show, to pull back the curtain on the entrenched power structure that has quietly controlled Coeur d'Alene for decades.

From the three waves of migration that reshaped the Panhandle's demographics and politics, to the legacy families, realtors, bankers, and developers that make up what Paul calls the "downtown cartel" — this episode maps the terrain of North Idaho's ruling class and how they protect their turf.

Then it gets real. Paul breaks down the ugly battle at North Idaho College, where his father served on the board for twelve years and dared to challenge the status quo — only to face accusations, threats to the college's accreditation, and a coordinated effort to restore the establishment's grip. We trace the threads from the Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations all the way to Christa Hazel and her father's deep ties to COINTELPRO, and ask the question nobody in the local press will: who really holds power in Kootenai County, and what will they do to keep it?

If you live in North Idaho — or care about what's happening to small American communities everywhere — this one is essential listening.

In this episode of The Backlash, Justin Stamm joins the show to break down how power actually works — from organized crime to modern political movements. We begin with Justin’s personal background and the unlikely path that led him into conversations with “Jimmy Blue Eyes,” and how those experiences shaped his understanding of influence, loyalty, and control.

From there, we dive into the origins of the Mafia, tracing its roots back to the War of the Sicilian Vespers and the cultural conditions that gave rise to parallel power structures operating outside formal government authority.

Justin then lays out the Four Laws of Mafia Power:

Influence

Extortion

Threats

Violence

We discuss how these principles operate not just in organized crime, but in politics, institutions, and modern social movements — and how understanding them reveals the mechanics behind real-world power.

Finally, we turn to the truth about COINTELPRO — the FBI’s covert program used to infiltrate, disrupt, and neutralize political organizations. We examine its historical targets, the tactics used to fracture movements from within, and why many believe those same strategies are still being deployed today.

This is a deep dive into power, infiltration, and the hidden rules that shape movements — and what it all means for the future of Catholicism and dissident voices in America.

What does Taoism have to do with Idaho politics? More than you might think.

This week, host David J. Reilly sits down with Wayne Hoffman — founder of the Idaho Freedom Foundation and one of the most influential figures in Idaho politics over the last two decades — for a wide-ranging conversation about freedom, government overreach, and why doing nothing might be the most radical political act of all.

Wayne traces his unlikely journey from self-described "objective journalist" in the late 80s, to a libertarian awakening sparked by a faxed pamphlet and a gravelly-voiced businessman named Ralph Smead, to building one of the most impactful free-market think tanks in the American West. Along the way, he shares what running a home daycare taught him about government bureaucracy, why COVID exposed just how fragile the freedom movement really is, and why he now identifies not as a conservative or a libertarian — but as a Taoist.

Together, David and Wayne dig into the cascading consequences of government intervention in healthcare, housing, education, and welfare — and make the case that many of America's deepest problems were created, and are sustained, by the very programs meant to solve them. And the conversation doesn't stop at America's borders — David and Wayne don't shy away from the hard questions surrounding U.S. foreign policy, the conflict in Gaza, and the dehumanization of civilian populations that too many in political media refuse to talk about.

If you've ever wondered why nothing the government does seems to actually work — and why the same political class cheering on domestic welfare programs looks the other way at atrocities abroad — this episode is for you.
