The Indiana primary results sent a loud message to Republicans who refused to support redistricting. Todd breaks down why President Trump backed challengers against GOP incumbents, why five of seven targeted senators lost, and what this means for the future of conservative politics nationwide. Todd explains why redistricting matters, why Republicans can no longer afford political weakness, and how the battle against the radical left has become a fight over the future of the republic itself.

In the Indiana GOP primary on Tuesday night, Donald Trump lost 22 percent of GOP primary voters to Nikki Haley. That's surprising, since Haley ended her campaign two months ago. So it's clearly a trend: A sizable bloc of Republican voters in GOP primaries has resisted Trump again and again. We chatted with David Drucker, a senior writer at The Dispatch and author of a new piece about the Indiana outcome, about whether President Biden can poach these voters away from Trump and why it's a warning sign for MAGA in November.

Andrew, Carl, and Tom discuss last night's Indiana primary where Nikki Haley received 22 percent of the Republican vote and new polls in Pennsylvania raise the question of whether voters will split their tickets when it comes to Senate elections. They also question - other than the swing states - which ones might surprise analysts in November including Maine, Florida, and Minnesota. Also, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has a new campaign video narrated by actor Woody Harrelson. Kennedy claims the video was suppressed on Facebook and Instagram. Next, Tom chats with RCP Senior Elections Analyst Sean Trende about new polling of Black voters suggesting that the 2024 turnout may be less than the turnout in 2020. And lastly, Carl talks with RCP National Correspondent Susan Crabtree about Congressional efforts to require the State Department to work harder to curb China's $1 billion forced organ harvesting trade.

Shaunestte talks with Lee Buckingham, Prosecuting Attorney for Hamilton County. The Indiana primary election is May 3rd and Lee is running for re-election. They discuss how the population in Hamilton County has grown over the years and the work that Lee's office has done to support public safety efforts and serve its residents. Lee joined the Hamilton County Prosecuting Attorney's Office in 1995 as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney. And has spent the bulk of his first 16 years with the office handling major felony cases from financial and property crimes to violent offenses like rape, child molesting, burglary, robbery, and murder. Since 2011 Lee has been leading the Hamilton County Prosecuting Attorneys Office as the elected Prosecuting Attorney. The population has grown from approximately 274,000 to over 350,000 today. Despite the monumental growth and change, one thing has not changed. Hamilton County has remained a wonderful and very safe place to live, often ranked as one of the top places in the nation to live.Host- Shaunestte TerrellGuest- D.

We review Donald Trump's "America First" approach to foreign policy. Might his proposals mark an improvement upon the chronic "America Last" concepts of our bipartisan political elites? Or is Trump merely advocating "isolationism" -- as some have alleged? We survey contrasting viewpoints from Judge Jeanine Pirro and the omnipresent Senator Lindsey Graham. Also, we review the "crumbling confidence" of staffers on the Ted Cruz campaign, as we ask: Is Tuesday's Indiana Primary poised to become "The Alamo" for Cruz? We ponder the implications with a ballad by Marty Robbins. Plus, we take another stroll through Dante's Inferno as we pass near the "Conservative Pundit Graveyard." Who is still above ground -- and who is below? Are the commentariat classes about to undergo a much-needed upheaval? And why is there now a bit of California controversy about John Wayne? We take a patriotic look at John Wayne's America. With music and listener calls.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

By a stroke of luck, I ran into a Bernie Sanders rally. One of his last, no doubt. He gave away more goodies in the 5 minutes I heard him speak than I dreamed possible - even by Socialist standards.

As some of you may be aware, there’s a big election coming up. Yes, it’s time to pick a new auditor for Iowa City, Iowa, my hometown. It’s a hotly contested race between a jerk with a drinking problem and a twenty-four-year-old who ran a cake business into the ground. The pundits are having a field day. And then there’s the presidential race between McCain and Obama. That’s been in the news as well round these parts. It sort of reminds one of the race-that-almost-was between Richard Milhouse Nixon and RFK in 1968. Nixon wanted to give us “peace with honor” and RFK wanted us “out now.” With this parallel in mind we are happy to have Ray E. Boomhower on the show today. We’ll be talking about his fascinating book Robert F. Kennedy and the 1968 Indiana Primary (Indiana UP, 2008). It’s a very enlightening bit of scholarship. I was under the impression that RFK was somehow destined to run against Johnson in ’68. Not so! He came in only after Eugene McCarthy showed LBJ’s vulnerability to a strong anti-war message. RFK saw his chance, and took it. I was also under the impression that RFK would have doubtless won the Democratic nomination had he not been assassinated. Again, not so! McCarthy gave RFK a run for his money, and a very strong Humphrey was waiting in the wings. As Ray shows, RFK ran well in Indiana (and gave a speech on the day Martin Luther King was killed for which he is justly famous), but faltered elsewhere. Would RFK, had he been nominated, defeated Nixon? Nothing is sure in politics, as we in the United States are about to find out on November 4. Happy Election Day!
