Summary

After 10 years of MAGA, where is our red-state bench? The online Right is slowly realizing that the emperor is wearing no clothes. We’re stuck with all of the liberal policies and unpopular antics of Trump but few of the benefits. Now we’re saddled with a terrible economy with no vision because we’ve spent 10 years destroying a bench of high-level conservatives in red states. Now red states are going purple. We’re joined today by Utah state Rep. Trevor Lee (R) to discuss how a generation of liberal Republicans gave rise to liberal judges who have now handed Democrats a free congressional seat in Utah. We discuss the mechanics of how Utah RINOs give Democrats a foothold in the state through lousy electoral policies and then the Left, in turn, uses the ballot initiative process and the courts to change the state. This is a growing problem in many red states that if left unchecked will result in many of them becoming the next Colorado. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:59.7	should be a red state.

1:02.8	We've had it before how weak elected Republicans in the elected branches create a dynamic where even in deep red states, the left
1:14.1	takes over the courts and the initiative petition process and changes your state.
1:20.7	And it is so relevant to our first discussion just on national issues, not just because it has a consequence of losing a congressional seat, which I don't even care about, as you well know, but that we are screwed nationally.
