Bestselling author and Townhall columnist Kurt Schlichter joins Bryce for a candid post-mortem on the midterms. They cover why Republicans lost even in Texas, how red-state complacency and “zombie GOP” incumbents cost seats, and why blaming cheating is a cope. Bryce shares how Charlie Kirk held the coalition together and what his loss has meant. They also get into the 2028 bench (Vance, Rubio, DeSantis, Cruz), the Iran war, the damage done by Candace Owens and the conspiracy crowd, and why young men are pushing back against soft churches.

Kurt also talks about his new novel, American Warlord. It follows Vic Kincaid, an ordinary trucking logistics manager who becomes the leader people follow when civilization collapses.
