Charlie Kirk
About this episode

Texas is a red state with a strongly Republican legislature and voted for Trump by 14 points. So why do many state GOP leaders work in concert with Democrats to keep moderates in control of the state? Texas GOP Chair Abraham George explains the crucial power struggle in Texas that will determine whether Texas gets the governance its voters want. Then, Army Veteran Will Thibeau talks about how wokeness has rotted the U.S. military from within and lays out the Day One agenda for Pete Hegseth to turn things around before America loses a war it can't afford to lose.
