In this episode, Tara sits down with newly elected legislator Diane Mitchell from District 21 to discuss why closing South Carolina's primaries matters, how citizens can make their voices heard, and the crucial 33-10 bill that could finally prevent unaffiliated voters from participating in Republican primaries. Diane shares her first-day experiences, explains how to contact the judiciary committee, and outlines what citizens can do to ensure their representatives act in line with their constituents' wishes. Plus, we touch on the upcoming press conference for the Student Privacy Act and how citizens can engage with government budget hearings.
The ugly effects of Trumpism are corrupting the Midterms as far-right Republican candidates expose themselves as being unfit for office, but MAGA as hell. Impossible but true, QAnon candidates are running and winning elections in key states. Can weak GOP candidates and the January 6th hearings help Dems in the fall? Perhaps.

In this episode, we unpack a startling political strategy unfolding in South Carolina. The Post and Courier is openly urging Democrats to vote in Republican primaries—not for conservatives, but for the “most liberal” GOP candidates. Tara and Lee break down why Democrats want to eliminate figures like Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman, and why they are quietly backing candidates such as Alan Wilson, Pam Evet, and Josh Kimbrel. From past primary battles to long-term political influence, this episode reveals how parties are manipulating primaries to shape state politics—and what it means for conservative voters.
Interview Only w/ Josh Turek - Why Democrats Struggle…And Can Still Win In Iowa In this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck sits down with Iowa Democratic senate candidate and four-time Paralympian and gold medalist Josh Turek for a deeply personal and politically sharp conversation. Josh shares his remarkable journey—from being born with spina bifida caused by his father’s exposure to Agent Orange, to discovering wheelchair basketball as a pathway to college, to becoming one of the winningest athletes in Paralympic history. He opens up about the emotional challenge of leaving the sport he loved and what ultimately pushed him toward public service. Together, Chuck and Josh explore how the ADA reshaped life for disabled Americans, why adaptive and women’s sports remain undervalued, and how equal access—not guaranteed equal outcomes—remains the core civil rights debate for the disability community. The conversation widens into an unvarnished look at rural politics, Iowa’s sharp rightward turn, and the policies reshaping life in small towns. Josh breaks down why Medicaid denials have exploded, how school choice is quietly devastating rural school districts, and why tariffs—when used chaotically—are crushing family farms. He tackles complex cultural issues such as religion’s decline, the trans sports debate, and why Democrats shouldn’t cede Christianity or populism to the right. They also cover climate messaging, the stakes for U.S. policy in Israel and Ukraine, and whether Congress should step in to regulate collegiate athletics. With insights on Iowa’s political future, the 2026 Democratic opportunity, and even some NBA talk (yes—Jokić and Jordan both make an appearance), Josh Turek offers one of the most candid, wide-ranging conversations you’ll hear about the Midwest, disability rights, and the future of American politics.

In this episode, Chuck Todd breaks down an extraordinary week in politics marked by a near-unanimous House vote to release the Epstein files and growing signs that Donald Trump’s decade-long grip on American politics may finally be loosening. He examines the cracks emerging in Trump’s coalition, the administration’s tariff pullbacks amid rising food costs, and the mounting Trump fatigue driving Republicans to quietly distance themselves. Chuck also tackles Trump’s escalating attacks on female reporters, his contradictory dealings with Gulf states, and the likelihood that the DOJ may cite an “open investigation” to keep the Epstein files sealed. Beyond the Trump saga, Chuck dissects the troubling implications of the Olivia Nuzzi scandal, the shameful rhetoric surrounding Epstein’s victims, and the broader damage to journalism. He wraps with a preview of the TN-07 special election, the legal upheaval over Texas’s redistricting maps, and why today’s partisan map fights echo battles not seen since the 1840s. Then, Chuck sits down with Iowa Democratic senate candidate and four-time Paralympian and gold medalist Josh Turek for a deeply personal and politically sharp conversation. Josh shares his remarkable journey—from being born with spina bifida caused by his father’s exposure to Agent Orange, to discovering wheelchair basketball as a pathway to college, to becoming one of the winningest athletes in Paralympic history.

I fear that the entire political Right is going to waste its focus on redistricting and ending the filibuster in the hopes of changing the trajectory. While I don't oppose either proposition, neither of them will actually change the outcome of the election, because we have slept through primaries for years. We simply don't have enough conservatives to win a national election or accomplish good things even if Republicans gain a tenuous majority. What we need to do is focus on red-state governor elections. We begin that process today by interviewing Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), a Freedom Caucus congressman running for governor in South Carolina. He is promising to go to war with the establishment Republicans and bring an entire new approach to the state. He will focus on broad quality-of-life issues rather than handing the state over to crony corporations under the false pretense of economic development. Finally, in that vein, I delve into the effort of BlackRock and Blackstone to purchase public utilities and work with data centers to strip us of our energy independence. If we don't elect people like Norman in red states, we will lose our red-state land and infrastructure to the globalist networks. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Presidential Ambition and the 1980 Victory: From Farm Hand Friendship to the "There You Go Again" Knockout. Max Boot discusses Ronald Reagan running for president, first challenging incumbent Gerald Ford in the 1976 Republican primaries. Reagan narrowly lost the New Hampshire primary to Ford by about a thousand votes, but won the hearts of the convention with a graceful and moving speech delivered in defeat. After Ford lost to Jimmy Carter, Reagan spent the years between 1976 and 1980 returning to his "first love": radio. Despite his 1976 loss and his age (69), Reagan decided to run again in 1980, driven by personal ambition. Reagan loved going to his ranch outside Santa Barbara on weekends, where he enjoyed physical labor and preferred associating with ranch hands, former California state policemen Dennis LeBlanc and Barney Barnett, over the magnates with whom he was often photographed. The 1980 campaign was initially managed by John Sears, but Reagan fired him on the day of the New Hampshire primary, and Nancy brought in Bill Casey as campaign chairman. Casey was later implicated in the alleged "October surprise," and Boot found strong evidence this "probably happened," though the culpability rested with Casey, not Reagan. The campaign remained close through the summer, but the gap opened up weeks before Election Day primarily because of the late October debate, where Reagan delivered the famous rhetorical knockout blow, "There you go again," winning him the debate and the election.
This week we are recording during early voting before election day next Tuesday, November 4, and we know that all of you are doing everything you can to make sure your friends, neighbors and communities of faith are taking this election season. For many of us, the policy implications of what's going on in the world right now are hitting close to home. The government shutdown and corresponding freeze of SNAP benefits, and so many other vital programs, is impacting our communities, and that requires our attention. There are important elections on the ballot right now. The constitutional amendments matter. Many of your communities have school board races, local government elections and bond elections. Those matter too—so we hope you have voted or are making a plan to vote. Here to talk to us about elections, both the current November 4 election and our election infrastructure, is Natalia Contreras, reporter with Votebeat Texas.

Primaries are heating up! Join us as we discuss the most important Democratic Primaries for the 2026 Midterms!
Michael speaks with Professor Michael Polelle a Florida voter, and constitutional law scholar, who's been fighting — solo — to overturn Florida's closed primary system. His lawsuit argues that forcing voters to join a political party to participate in publicly funded primaries violates free speech and equal protection rights. The Supreme Court declined to hear his case, but the fight for open primaries — and for millions of independent voters shut out of elections — is far from over. Michael himself is part of a lawsuit pursuing the same goal in Pennsylvania, also a closed primary state. Original air date 16 October 2025. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Will Con Inc. once again misdirect the base's energy for reform into supporting an unreformed Republican Party vs. Democrats in the general election, in an ill-fated bid to win the entire country, when, in fact, much of it is lost? We're joined by Wyoming activist Darcie Gudger, who explains how a lack of education in primaries has led to Wyoming becoming a RINO haven. The state is under a multi-front assault on its land and beauty at the hands of the green grift, data centers, and transmission lines created to power California. We rely on ranchers in Wyoming for affordable, healthy beef, yet ranchers are disappearing. We're making some headway against liberal Republicans, but they continue to dominate in state and local government because Con Inc. refuses to get involved. Multiply Wyoming's dynamic by 20+ other red states, and you will understand why there is such a disconnect between conservative social media bravado and the lack of boots on the ground in red states fighting for policy outcomes Learn more about your ad choices.

How can you drain the swamp if we not only ignore the primaries but remain silent as Trump continues to endorse every RINO, even in the reddest states, and even those who subvert his agenda? I discuss how too many people are focusing on redistricting as the panacea, when in fact the problem is in primaries because many of the Trump-endorsed RINOs are refusing to draw better districts. Next, I offer some more thoughts on how demonic and unfeasible the data center dystopia is and how local grassroots continue to push back against it. Finally, we need leaders who will be honest about the economy and the affordability crisis and explain how in order to make life more affordable, we must unwind the very policies that have created asset bubbles in housing and the stock market. Unfortunately, because we have slept in primaries for 10 years, our politicians only respond to the special interests that benefit from the asset bubbles. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this week's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson breaks down the party's post-2024 election autopsy and explains why they're doomed to fail if they continue on their trajectory. “ After the defeat of Kamala Harris in November 2024, the Democrats decided recently to run an autopsy, a discovery, so to speak, of why they lost that election. These autopsies are not uncommon for the losing political party, but they only tend to work if you're honest and you try to analyze every considerable factor or criterion without censorship or without fear. “ They didn't have issues and policies that reflected their core values, but would also appeal to the middle class. … They don't want to talk about the middle class because their policies—open borders, The Green New Deal, Critical Race Theory, Critical Legal Theory, defund the police—all that have to be rejected because they're anathema to the middle class. They won't do it.”
