Summary

We all see what’s happening: Leftists in power are making America — our economy, culture, and principles — unrecognizable. But will winning the midterms be enough to fix things? This week’s guest believes the real answer is much more “radical” — but not in the way you might think. Rachel Bovard is the senior tech columnist for the Federalist and the author of the article “The 1980s Called. They Want Their Foreign Policy Back and Republicans to Finally Wake Up.” She tells Glenn that “conservatism is almost a dissident culture at this point,” as politicians hold on to the Reagan era like it’s eternal. Instead, she argues that it’s time for a “new right” to embrace “radical federalism” and actually reverse what the Left has done instead of taking the power for itself. Rachel explains what she believes this “new right” should look like and how it can fix the actual issues with our government and economy, and she talks about the one organization she believes is way too powerful … SPONSORS: If you're one of the millions of Americans who suffer every day from pain, there is hope, and it comes in the form of Relief Factor.

0:00.0	What does it mean to be a conservative now? What is the purpose of a conservative?
0:05.7	It is to conserve, to rescue those things worth rescuing, to save the things that we love,
0:12.7	and let go of the things that don't work. Our task is to stand in front of the leftist and
0:20.4	institutionalist steamroller and protect what we can and save what we must. Every single day,
0:27.6	a conservative will take a beating from the fashionable snobs on the left. They're cozy and
0:34.0	they're lawlessness. They subject us to a level of harassment and mockery that they couldn't even
0:39.6	imagine let alone withstand. To them, so many people in America are dumb, useless, bigoted,
0:46.2	any other number of ridiculous accusations, and it doesn't have to be just, it could be somebody
0:51.5	on the left that disagrees with them. They're dumb and ridiculous and racist.
0:55.9	What they don't realize is that without something that I think is at the center of conservatism,

1:09.9	What then would they do if you won the zero sum game, but nobody left to destroy?
1:15.6	Today's guest is one of the brave souls that is standing in front of that tank.
1:22.8	After she spoke at the National Conservative Conference last fall, Jacobin magazine said,
1:29.2	who is this woman? And what the hell is going on here? They went on to say that she uses, quote,
1:35.6	the language of war and enmity and victory at all costs and subordinating means to ends.
1:42.4	Wow, she sounds dangerous.
1:44.9	As it sounds kind of like the left in some ways, the way you describe her,
1:49.2	well, she has plenty of credentials that make her a threat to the left.
1:54.1	And a lot of people will misunderstand her, but she is clear.
1:59.4	She has had directorial jobs in the House and the Senate. She's worked with Senator Rand Paul,
