Sam hosts author and historian Rick Perlstein to discuss his latest book, Reaganland: America's Right Turn 1976-1980, the dramatic conclusion of how conservatism took control of American political power. Sam and Rick begin their conversation discussing the role of Pat Caddell and how the Democratic party moved right starting during the Carter administration. Perlstein lays out the role power of the new evangelist political movement that at first helped Jimmy Carter but because the Democratic president did not embrace a fundamentalist policy program, turned to the open embrace of Reagan and the conservative movement. Shifting gears, Perlstein explains how California proposition 13, which decreased property taxes by assessing values at their 1976 value and restricted annual increases of assessed value to an inflation factor, helped destroy state tax bases and funding to public school systems, but helped usher in tax-cutting and "small government" as the primary policy set of Reagan conservatives. Sam and Rick conclude their conversation considering how democratic politicians failed to offer an alternative to small government conservatism leading to the Reagan era.  And in the Fun Half: Trump telegraphs his racist suburban voter appeals with Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson hosts Kyle Rittenhouse's lawyer, conservative media continues to throw things against Biden's campaign, why defeating Trump is the best way to bring back libertarian callers, the efficacy of taking on the IDW grifters, the potential teacher strikes, plus your calls and IMs!  Become a member at JoinTheMajorityReport.com Check out the Brand New Majority Report Merch Shop https://shop.majorityreportradio.com/ (Merch issues and concerns can be addressed here: majorityreportstore@mirrorimage.com) The AM Quickie is now on YouTube Subscribe to the AM Quickie at https://fans.fm/amquickie Make the AMQ part of your Alexa Flash Briefing too!

Friend of the show Patrick Caddell passed away at the age of 68. We were fortunate to have Pat appear on the show four times. On this special episode, we pay tribute to Pat and play all of his appearances on "Enough Already." Clip 1, from "Trump Stop Pissing All Over Everyone!" Pat Caddell was kind enough to spend almost an hour sharing his expert opinion on everything from Obama's trip to Cuba to the advice he'd give Trump about how the GOP front runner should tone down his rhetoric in order to quell fears. Clip 2, from "Hillary is a Human Memory Hole." Pat Caddell is back and he's fired up about the Benghazi commission report, BJ Clinton's meeting with Loretta Lynch, Hillary's emails, Brexit, and our pathetic sycophantic media. Pat also shared with us his pro-tips for reading polls that you don't want to miss. Clip 3, from "LuckyThey Don't Drug Test Debates." Pat Caddell stops by to give us his take on where the race stands, and what Trump must do in order to pull out a win on November 8th. Clip 4, from "No One Learned Anything." Pat Caddell returns to the show for his first post-election interview. He has plenty to say about what went wrong for the Democrats and where he sees them going in the future. Hint: nowhere good.
