Republican strategist Albert Eisenberg of Redbridge joins David for an honest, two-sided breakdown of the GOP's self-inflicted problem heading into 2026. You'll hear Albert explain how Republicans won Hispanic, younger Black, and under-$50K voters for the first time in their lifetimes — and why the party "lost its appetite" for delivering the moment the election was over. David and Albert also dig into where they genuinely disagree on Iran, and agree on the bigger danger: a party that stopped talking to everyday Americans and started talking only to itself. No talking points, no consensus theater — just two guys working through what it'll actually take to not throw this away.
