Summary

Today we're joined by Josh Hammer, conservative commentator and opinion editor at Newsweek, to discuss the election, Trump's candidacy for president, and the Respect for Marriage Act, among other new stories. We start with some post-election thoughts on candidate quality and election integrity and dive into what might have gone wrong in the campaign of a candidate like Blake Masters. We look at pro-lifers who are doing a great job furthering the cause and explain how Republican candidates could be doing better in the culture war. Then, we talk about Trump's announcement last night that he's running for president again and break down whether he might be able to win. We then look at DeSantis' policies and speculate why a younger president might just be what we need. We talk about the Senate's attempt to redefine marriage through the Respect for Marriage Act and discuss the Ukrainian missile that hit Poland yesterday and its implications. --- Timecodes: [00:45] Interview with Josh begins / post-election analysis [05:48] Blake Masters' campaign flaws [12:47] Abortion conversation in the political sphere [22:32] Republicans and culture wars [26:47] Trump announces candidacy for 2024 [36:30] Trump vs. DeSantis [45:50] Benefits of a younger president [50:35] Respect for Marriage Act [1:00:30] Poland hit by Ukrainian missile --- Today's Sponsors: Good Ranchers — change the way you shop for meat today by visiting GoodRanchers.com/ALLIE and use promo code 'ALLIE' to get two Black Angus NY strip steaks & two pasture raised chicken breasts FREE for Black Friday!

0:00.0	While Trump is running in 2024, it is official. What do we think about this?
0:06.0	Also, the Senate moves to redefine marriage at the expense of religious liberty and the future
0:11.7	of our country. Also, what really happened in the midterms? Was it abortion, Trump,
0:17.2	culture wars that turned the wave into the trickle? We will be analyzing all of this in more
0:23.6	with our friend Josh Hammer from Newsweek. This episode is brought to you by our friends at Good
0:30.5	Ranchers. Go to GoodRanchers.com slash alley that's GoodRanchers.com slash alley.
0:45.6	Okay, Josh, before we talk about 2024, I just want to hear your take on 2022.
0:50.9	Obviously, as we've heard over and over again, the red wave, the red tsunami, did not really materialize.
0:58.5	I've already talked about that. You've already talked about that. But from your perspective,
1:03.0	what exactly happened? Because there's a lot of different competing analysis from the right about
1:09.4	what really kind of caused us to not have the outcomes that we thought we would have.
1:14.1	I've taken all of the above approach to answering this question. We're barely a week removed from
1:22.6	the 2022 midterm elections, and it was devastating. There was no reason to try to make a third
1:28.3	sandwich taste any better than it should taste. This was a very devastating, extremely frustrating
1:33.4	midterm. One number that I always come back to, Ali, and I'm still trying to wrap my head around
1:38.8	this fully, Republicans actually won the national straight up popular vote for US Congress by about
1:46.4	four and a half points, 51.5 to 47%. That simply did not end up translating. That number right there
1:53.6	should give Republicans at least a modicum of solace. That you give them at least a modicum of
1:57.6	solace, that the brand is not quite that toxic. Obviously, race by race and play them the sheer
2:03.1	numbers game that ended up not really translating. There's a lot of blame to go around, and there's
2:07.5	really no reason why I think we need to pin that blame in any one particular party. Just
2:11.8	trying to go through all the parties. I guess that should be blamed for this. One obvious thing is
