Summary

The 2024 mandate was clear: Stop inflation and secure the border. Instead, the GOP has squandered every leverage point, leaving Americans paying the price. Today, I expose how President Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) have completely mishandled the economy, DHS funding, and the utilization of legislative and budget leverage points. While Democrats manage to fund their priorities with control of zero branches of government, conservatives are left dealing with massive inflation, mass migration, and a surveillance state. I explain how the "America First" agenda was abandoned, how the 2023 House majority was squandered, and why the establishment Right blocked viable alternatives like Ron DeSantis. It is finally time to abandon the uniparty and build a new, independent conservative movement focused on human flourishing and true free markets. Learn more about your ad choices.

have to be this way, the economy is now making everything else unpopular to the point where we have negative efficacy on everything that they were promising to do.

1:03.8

Everything's unpopular.

1:05.9

Now Democrats have found a way with control of zero branches to get Republicans to fund 11 out of 12

branches of departments of government. By the way, with more funding than they could have

imagined, expanding HUD, Department of Education, all that stuff, except for ICE funding

and TSA, and now the chaos at the airports
