Summary

Is the Republican Party doing more harm than good? Today, I ask the ultimate uncomfortable question: Is it better for the GOP to lose so a real conservative movement can take its place? We dive deep into the "negative efficacy" of the current establishment, the catastrophic primary numbers coming out of Texas, and how the Right has been captured by Big Tech, AI data centers, and the transhumanist agenda. Plus, a RINO roundup and a hard look at foreign policy failures regarding Iran and Qatar. What the current GOP leadership has done is co-opt the very agenda we hate while anesthetizing the GOP base to its effects, thereby precluding any competition from an authentic Right. It’s time to stop cheerleading and start building a parallel movement. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Your host, Daniel Horowitz, back here to focus on those

sovereignty, foreign policy, you have to get the fat

rear end of the GOP out of that corridor so we could actually rush into the building, the

burning building, and put out the fire. So today I'm going to ask you the question as we go

0:52.6

through a lot of different news stories of the day, domestic policy, foreign policy, economy, you know, we'll touch on a little bit of everything.

1:02.4

Is it better that the GOP just loses?

1:05.4

Now, I don't think it's something we need to tear each other apart over because it's going to happen anyway.

1:11.4

They're getting crushed even in red states.

1:13.9

It's so bad.

1:15.0

The only question remaining for this year is essentially how deep into red territory will

1:22.3

Democrats win.

1:24.1

And now, until now, I kind of felt like, look, if we're going to get all the liabilities of the perception that our side is in charge, but then it anesthetizes our base to actually building a movement against things like the data center paragraphs or really anything.

1:43.3

So perhaps it is better if the Democrats win.

1:46.9

But then I thought, look, at least in the red areas, you want to be able to have a bulwark

1:51.0

against what the Democrats are doing.

1:53.0

But then we see in the red areas, you have the same garbage Republicans that either
