Summary

If conservatives can’t win in West Virginia — a state with 90+ Republican legislators — where CAN they win? I expose why GOP primaries matter far more than general elections and why red states are quietly being transformed from within. In this explosive interview, West Virginia Delegate Chris Anders (R) explains why the newly formed West Virginia Freedom Caucus is taking on establishment Republicans over property rights and eminent domain abuse; data-center land-grabs; green energy subsidies; illegal immigration enforcement; corporate cronyism; and why 2026 primaries may decide the future of constitutional conservatism. Later on, I catch up on some national news stories on AI, judicial supremacism, and why elections will never matter if courts have the final word on every issue. After all, judges don’t stand for re-election. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:36.7

West Virginia and implement our policies

0:38.9

where if someone finds a Democrat, they practically call the cops, then we can't win anywhere.

0:45.4

But we're not winning there because the Republicans are Democrats. And the point is,

0:50.2

our solution cannot be limited to just vote Republican harder.

0:56.6

That's not the solution.

0:57.8

We all recognized for the last 10 to 20 years that we have a uniparty,

1:02.3

but then we go back like a dog returns to its vomit,

1:06.7

and we ignore primaries, ignore legislative sessions,

1:10.0

ignore the red states, ignore what we can do federally, and just say, oh, but the Democrats.

1:15.0

Well, I'll tell you this much.

1:16.6

The reason we suck in places like West Virginia and 20 other states has nothing to do with the Democrats.

1:23.2

In fact, the Democrats couldn't do this on their own.

1:26.2

Only Republicans could give the illusion that they're fighting for us.

1:32.4

So thereby boxing out a legitimate opposition that would naturally arise if the Democrats were doing the same thing.
