Podcasts about Republican Party

Over the last few days, Vice President JD Vance has been everywhere. From The View to the major networks to Gutfeld, the White House has put Vance front and center. This isn’t a media tour. It’s a message. America already knows who JD Vance is. This isn’t about introducing him. It’s about reminding the country, and the Republican Party, exactly where he stands. I believe President Trump is making it crystal clear that JD Vance is next in line. And the timing is no accident. As impressive as Marco Rubio has been, and he has been exceptional, his influence and popularity inside this administration continue to grow. Rubio’s rise has been one of the biggest stories in Washington. Now comes the Vance reminder. President Trump understands politics better than anyone. He knows perception becomes reality. By putting Vance everywhere, he’s reinforcing a simple fact: there may be many talented leaders in this administration, but there is only one vice president. The message couldn’t be clearer. JD Vance isn’t just serving alongside President Trump. He’s being positioned as the future of the America First movement. Today, we break down why Vance is suddenly everywhere and why President Trump appears determined to make sure the entire country knows exactly who he wants carrying the torch when his time in office is done.

Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson are back in the Hendrickson Library with a packed episode covering Iowa's fast-moving post-primary political landscape. Both gubernatorial candidates have now selected their running mates: Rob Sand tapped Dave Muhlbauer, a farmer from western Iowa, while Zach Lahn chose State Representative Derek Wulf of Black Hawk County, also a farmer. Chris and John break down the strategy behind each pick, why Wulf stands out as a particularly strong choice for Lahn, and what the selection of two agricultural running mates signals about where both campaigns think the race will be won.The conversation turns to the broader general election dynamics shaping up between Lahn and Sand. Chris and John assess how quickly the Republican Party has consolidated around Lahn, the head start Sand's campaign has built toward a general election operation, and how the scrutiny of a real general election contest may complicate Sand's carefully constructed moderate image. A Republican Party audio drop this week — featuring Sand openly calling for political retribution on judicial nominations — gives the Lahn campaign exactly the kind of contrast material it needs to make the "governor for all Iowans" sell a harder one for Sand.The second half of the episode takes up two policy-driven stories. First, the final report on Iowa's Universal Basic Income pilot — a project run through several central Iowa cities that distributed $500 monthly stipends to participants. The report's conclusions, citing reduced stress and improved "sense of mattering," prompt a pointed exchange about what government is actually for, who's paying, and why local governments have no business engineering social outcomes with taxpayer dollars. Chris and John connect this directly to Iowa's property tax problem and the fiscal absurdity of local governments playing philanthropist.Finally, a Des Moines Register story on the city of Des Moines reconsidering its tax incentive programs — including TIF and property tax abatements — gives Chris and John a chance to explore when these tools have merit and when they're simply political ribbon-cutting at taxpayer expense.0:13 Welcome & housekeeping2:24 Trivia: Laddie Boy & Smoot-Hawley5:01 Correction & running mate announcements5:52 Sand picks Muhlbauer, Lahn picks Derek Wulf8:22 Why Wulf is a strong pick for Lahn10:32 GOP consolidation & Lahn's general election ramp-up12:22 Sand's media advantage and the contrast campaign ahead13:37 Sand audio drop & turning him into a generic Democrat14:34 Andy Beshear visits Iowa — 2028 implications15:32 Iowa's UBI pilot: background and ITR's role18:15 Dissecting the report — who pays for "feeling mattered"?21:22 UBI, local government overreach, and property taxes25:59 Des Moines reconsiders TIF and tax incentives28:05 When incentives work — and when they're ribbon-cutting30:33 Free market vs. government-directed development33:28 Sign off

Episode 4143 │ June 11, 2026 Mike Lindell: "God just shattered the Minnesota GOP's 30-year candidate machine." Now he's polling number one and the primary is wide open. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson sits down with Mike Lindell for a full update on the Minnesota governor's race — and what just happened at the Duluth state convention is unlike anything the state Republican Party has seen since 1994. Lindell opens by crediting God's timing and his own prayer discipline as the operating foundation beneath every strategic decision in the campaign, describing a deliberate choice to release the need for Trump's endorsement before the convention and trust the outcome to providence — a posture he says produced results no political consultant could have engineered. He then walks through the entire sequence: how the Minnesota GOP endorsement system has functioned as an establishment candidate selection machine for three decades, consistently producing nominees who then lose to Democrats; how he was barred from debates, denied the delegate list, and publicly flagged as a "qualified with reservations" candidate to taint his standing before the convention floor vote; how the voting machines used by delegates broke down for three hours at the critical moment — validating Lindell's core election integrity argument in real time and turning the arena floor into a visible demonstration of exactly what he has been warning about for years; how he redirected his delegates to Kendall Qualls to break Lisa Damuth's path to the endorsement; and how the party then allowed Damuth to ignore the endorsement outcome she had pledged to honor — inadvertently producing the most open Republican primary Minnesota has seen in a generation. With Damuth, Qualls, and Lindell all now on the primary ballot, Lindell argues the establishment vote splits and his base — spanning inner city Minneapolis to rural farmers to teachers — carries him through. He announces Phil Parrish as his lieutenant governor pick, describing the partnership as a direct answer to prayer, and outlines his first-day budget priorities including eliminating 400 NGOs, cutting Minnesota's highest-in-the-nation corporate tax rate, and ending welfare fraud running into the billions. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED How did Lindell's faith posture — specifically releasing the need for Trump's pre-convention endorsement — shape the outcome at Duluth in ways no political strategy could have produced? How has the Minnesota GOP endorsement system functioned as an establishment candidate pipeline since 1994 — and how did the Duluth convention break it? What happened when the delegate voting machines failed for three hours at the exact moment Lindell was poised to deny Damuth the endorsement? Why does Lindell believe a three-way primary split between Damuth, Qualls, and himself is the best possible outcome for his campaign? What are Lindell's day-one budget priorities as governor — and how does he plan to turn inner-city Minneapolis Democrats into Republican voters?

One of America's greatest achievements was the prohibition of slavery. It took a sustained national grassroots effort which birthed the Republican Party and the election of its abolitionist presidential nominee named Abraham Lincoln, a victorious civil war, then decades more to overcome Democrats' strenuous opposition to civil rights reforms.  Even now, Democrats are making common cause with sharia-supremacists whose predecessors enslaved black Africans and sent them to this country for sale. A BanSharia.com webinar yesterday revealed slavery is just one of the prophet Mohammed's abhorrent practices that sharia still commands his followers to emulate.  Make no mistake: If the jihadists have their way here, all of us will be enslaved as sharia replaces our Constitution and destroys the freedoms it guarantees.  The webinar persuasively concluded the times require a new abolitionist movement. Let's call it, “Abolish Slavery 2.0.” Join us at BanSharia.com. This is Frank Gaffney.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 454 — Bob Dole: The Life That Brought Him There (Part 35)Bush vs. Dole: The 1988 Campaign (B) — The New Hampshire PrimaryIn Episode 454 of our continuing series on the life and career of Bob Dole, we turn to one of the most decisive moments of the 1988 Republican presidential race: the battle for New Hampshire.Fresh off his victory in the Iowa Caucuses, Bob Dole appeared to have the momentum. For the first time in his long political career, the Republican nomination seemed within reach. The press was talking about a Dole surge, and supporters believed Iowa might be the breakthrough he had spent years pursuing.But standing in his path was Vice President George H. W. Bush, whose campaign suddenly found itself fighting for survival.The New Hampshire Primary would become the turning point.This episode examines:• The aftermath of Dole's Iowa victory • Bush's determination to stop Dole's momentum • The media battles that shaped public perception of the race • The campaign strategies employed by both candidates • The famous and often tense exchanges that became hallmarks of the New Hampshire contest • How one primary helped determine the future nominee of the Republican PartyThe campaign was more than a contest between two candidates. It was a clash of styles, personalities, and political identities within the Republican Party.Dole brought decades of legislative experience, sharp wit, and a reputation as one of Washington's most effective leaders.Bush brought the prestige of the vice presidency, the legacy of the Reagan administration, and a national campaign organization determined to regain control of the race.As the candidates crisscrossed New Hampshire, every speech, debate, television appearance, and campaign stop carried enormous significance.For Bob Dole, New Hampshire represented an opportunity to transform momentum into inevitability.For George Bush, it was a chance to save his campaign.Only one would leave with the advantage.And the outcome would reshape the course of the 1988 Republican presidential nomination battle.

I'm a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives — and I knew about this fraud before the report came out, because I talked to the people who lived it.Today the House Oversight Committee released a 205-page report putting the scale of Minnesota's Medicaid fraud at up to $9 billion since 2018. The headline is that Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison were warned as early as 2019 and failed to act. That part is true. But there's a part of this story I have firsthand experience with — and it's the part four minutes of cable news won't have room for.During my Somali community outreach for the Republican Party, I met people who saw this grift up close. They wanted it exposed. But they were afraid — of the providers, of their own community, and most of all of the administration. One man told me he feared for his life. They wouldn't go to authorities connected to the Walz administration, because they believed it would make them a target. That's why this had to go federal.This is the whole mechanism — how $9 billion walked out the door over six years while the people who tried to stop it got punished for trying. And why the real lesson isn't "the other team is corrupt." It's structural. And it doesn't have a party.Discussed tonight on Fox News with Will Cain — full breakdown here.⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 The $9 billion report01:18 What the report actually proves03:02 What I saw: my Somali community outreach06:55 The uncomfortable truth (this isn't partisan)https://x.com/WalterHudson⬇️ Watch, think critically, and decide for yourself.

www.commsolutionsmn.com-  The federal government has begun to prosecute some of the alleged fraudsters here in Minnesota. The strange thing is that nobody seems to care. Why is that? Our money is being taken before it even gets to our pockets. We could be using it for gas, food, or retirement savings, but it's being stolen right out from under our noses. Nobody seems to care and it's hard to understand why. Corrupt people refuse to leave government on their own. Shame is extinct. Power is more important than ethics. Are we surprised that our system is broken when we refuse to demand that people be held accountabile for their actions? We're on the doorstep of the Republican and Democrat party conventions and we know that the results are always crazy. Will the Republicans do what they need to do to be competetive? Will the Democrats choose the worst or the most worst candidate? Who will out-crazy the other? Our money is on the conventions playing little impact and everyone going to the primaries. The primaries that are happening around the nation have been surprising with Bill Cassidy, Tom Massie, and John Cornyn all lost their primaries. The politicians that have tried to foil President Trump are losing left and right. MAGA and MAHA are as popular as ever with conservatives. We'll have to see how the general elctions go, but the President is off to a great start at solidifying his remaking of the Republican Party.

Today's question: Evaluate the view that the Democrats are now more internally divided than the Republican Party. 30 marks. In today's pod, we explore the two parties' approaches to economic, welfare and social & moral policy. This episode updates episode 122, with fresh examples to take account of Trump's second term.

H2-S2 full 00:06 One of the surprising races last night had to do with Luke Rankin losing to Rick Shealy. And uh that surprised a lot of people. I want to talk to Nick because I'll be honest with you. um I know so little about Rick Shealy. We've got Nick on the line. Nick, tell me about Rick Shealy. So I've known Rick Shealy for 10 years as me being involved in the Republican Party. Rick is an unbelievable guy. 00:35 He's incredibly humble. He is going to be a strong conservative down in Columbia. He's been our EC for a few years and he's always pushed to close the primaries, always try to keep South Carolina first in the South. Just really just an all around great guy. Because you see, I was looking at his website this afternoon and the last paragraph is, Rick believes that Columbia needs leaders who remember who they work for. 01:04 and he's committed to serving as a true advocate for his community. Well, when you get to Columbia, they make no bones about it. When you get there, you have to forget who you work for and you work for leadership. 01:19 Well, that's exactly the reason why that the current representative got voted out because he pretty much sold House 614 out to trial lawyers. So I mean, you know, when we get people like Mike Kasky telling Sarita Edgerton things like, nobody reads these bills, I mean, you're just supposed to go along and vote however leadership tells you to. Is that the kind of person Rick Shealy is going to be? No, he is not going to be that type of person. Rick Shealy, 01:49 will be will will do his homework he will read the bills and if it's and if he thinks it's a good bill he's going to vote for it but if he thinks it's a terrible bill he will vote again he will vote against it so what is it what is it about rick shilley do you think the voters really um... or was it about luke rankin was it more a anti luke rankin vote or was it more of a pro rick shilley it was a mixture of both when people got to talk with rick 02:17 they could tell that he was a sincere he was a humble guy somebody that you could like have a talk with that i usually like that help people usually you like to have politics usually you like to have guys that you could both go to church with but also could like hang out with the watch and watch a football game yeah and rick came across like that lucrake it did not come across like that lucrake it came across as pompous arrogant and just just overall just 02:45 really it kind of seemed like that he just looked down on the people of Lawrence County while he was representing them and just hanging out with all the big wigs and people like Charleston and Columbia and Greenville and really just it felt like that we just were forgotten during his leadership or during his time as a representative. All right. Well, I appreciate it, Nick. Thank you very much. Now, there was also that little bit of a confusion about Luke Rankin. 03:15 because Lou Crankin, again, the state representative Lou Crankin, he's got a 40, his freedom index score is 40%. I had him at purple. But there's another Lou Crankin. And the other day, Ron Reddy sent out a mailer or a flyer about how we've got to get rid of Lou Crankin, but he did not specify which Lou Crankin. 03:42 So if you took Luke Rankin, the state representative, according to his freedom index score, he's kind of middle of the road, and you compare him with the absolutely dreadful, hideous Senator Luke Rankin, who is nothing but a rhino, 04:02 I think some people got confused on that pretty well. So maybe just for future reference, if you've got the same name as a horrible state senator, maybe think about using your middle name. You know what I mean? Maybe just think about changing something up in your campaign so that you are not confused. 04:27 I would love to get Rick Shealy on the program. I'd love to talk to him to find out what his plans are over in the 14th ah because that's important. You folks in Lawrence, you need rep ... 436 Wed, 10 Jun 2026 20:33:00 +0000 r45amLzPlWn2hCghDL6TwyqMOO6Bfmqm news The Charlie James Show Podcast news H2-S2 The Charlie James Show originates from News/Talk 989 WORD, The Upstate's #1 Talk Station, weekdays 3-7pm.

SHORT TITLE OPTIONS Lindsey Graham: The Real Return? SC GOP Breaks Open The Machine vs. the Movement Trump, Graham & the Primary War “Anybody But Lindsey?” DESCRIPTION South Carolina's Republican politics erupt in a fiery Election Day broadcast as deep divisions inside the GOP collide with renewed attacks on Senator Lindsey Graham's record, particularly his role during the Russia collusion investigations. The episode features a sweeping discussion of establishment power in Washington and Columbia, alongside interviews with conservative challengers pushing anti-corruption platforms, judicial reform, and major restructuring of state government. From immigration enforcement frustrations to claims of uniparty control, the conversation paints a picture of a Republican Party at war with itself—while voters head to the polls to decide its future direction. EPISODE SUMMARY Today's broadcast centers on a sharp political critique of Senator Lindsey Graham, arguing that his public posture shifts depending on electoral timing and political pressure, particularly in relation to the Trump era and the Russia collusion investigations. The discussion revisits the Russiagate period, describing it as a defining moment in modern Republican distrust of federal institutions and intelligence leadership, while alleging that key officials and lawmakers played roles in expanding or legitimizing the investigation. Layered into the conversation are broader South Carolina political themes, including frustration with immigration enforcement policy, claims of entrenched “machine politics” in Columbia, and skepticism toward establishment Republican leadership. The program also features extended candidate interviews from the state's Republican primary races, where contenders for attorney general and governor lay out competing visions focused on judicial reform, tax reduction, anti-corruption enforcement, and expanding executive power. As Election Day unfolds, the episode frames the vote as a referendum on both state leadership and the direction of the Republican Party itself.

Dawn Stensland welcomes Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters live in studio for a wide-ranging conversation about the political fight ahead in Pennsylvania and across the country. Gruters discusses the GOP's strategy to hold the House and Senate, the importance of competitive races involving Congressman Ryan Mackenzie and Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, and why Pennsylvania remains one of the most important battlegrounds in America. Dawn and Gruters also dig into election integrity, affordability, gas prices, school choice, and the Republican Party's message to working families. Gruters lays out the RNC's focus on voter confidence, poll watching, lawsuits, and ground-game operations, while Dawn presses him on how Republicans can better reach voters in Philadelphia, the collar counties, and communities frustrated by crime, education failures, and rising costs. Later, Dawn reacts to the latest headlines, including President Trump's comments on a possible Iran deal, the tragic killing of Penn State student Billy Schmitt, the return of the flesh-eating screwworm threat to U.S. livestock, and the media's coverage of Washington, D.C. cleanup efforts. Plus, Dawn and the crew lighten things up with debates over folding pizza, fast food, long showers, and the eternal question: McDonald's or Burger King?

DESCRIPTION As vote counting drags on in California, questions about ballot harvesting, voter rolls, and election integrity are back in the spotlight. Charlie examines the razor-thin Los Angeles mayoral race, ongoing concerns about California's election system, and what critics say are major vulnerabilities in mail-in voting. He also argues that President Trump's past endorsements have unintentionally strengthened establishment Republicans and weakened conservative efforts in states like South Carolina and Washington. The result is a conversation about elections, political strategy, and who really controls the future of the Republican Party. PODCAST SUMMARY Charlie opens the show by discussing the ongoing vote counting process in California and the controversy surrounding ballot harvesting, mail-in voting, and voter registration practices. Using the Los Angeles mayoral race as an example, he argues that extended vote-counting periods and loose ballot collection rules continue to fuel public skepticism about election administration. The conversation explores concerns about inactive voter rolls, duplicate ballots, and legal challenges surrounding California's election procedures. Charlie examines how critics believe these systems create opportunities for confusion and undermine voter confidence. The discussion then shifts to Washington, D.C., where the SAVE Act failed to advance after several Republican senators joined Democrats in opposition. Charlie argues that many establishment Republicans have benefited from endorsements that ultimately worked against conservative priorities. A major focus of the episode centers on President Trump's endorsement record. Charlie contends that several endorsements in South Carolina and elsewhere strengthened candidates who later opposed conservative initiatives, creating long-term political consequences. He contrasts those endorsements with more recent races where Trump has supported candidates more closely aligned with his agenda. The episode concludes with a broader discussion about national security, cyber threats from China, election integrity, and the importance of voters paying attention to political decisions that have consequences far beyond a single election cycle. KEY TAKEAWAYS California's election procedures continue to generate debate over voter confidence. Ballot harvesting and mail-in voting remain controversial political issues. Questions persist about voter roll maintenance and election administration. The SAVE Act became a flashpoint in the debate over election security. Trump's endorsement history remains a major topic within Republican politics. South Carolina's political landscape continues to reflect the impact of past endorsements. Political decisions often have long-term consequences beyond a single election. Concerns about cybersecurity and foreign threats remain a growing national issue. SOCIAL MEDIA TITLE Did Trump's Endorsements Backfire? SOCIAL MEDIA DESCRIPTION From California election controversies to the failure of the SAVE Act, Charlie argues that some of the biggest political battles in America can be traced back to decisions made years ago.

The Republican Party is not just ineffective. It has become an obstacle to us on key issues. Sadly, thanks to Trump's "leave no RINO behind" endorsement policy, it is getting even worse. Today, I go through Trump's recent endorsements and show how they are worse than supporting Democrats, although they will ensure that Democrats win anyway. Therefore, at some point we have nothing left to lose by actually refusing to support garbage Republicans in a general election. I dive deep into the negative efficacy of voting for the establishment, the growing bipartisan pushback against wind, solar, and data center monopolies, and the shocking arrest of a peaceful protester in Dixon, Illinois, over a Facebook post.
