The Republican Identity Crisis | Noah Rothman on the New Right, Socialism & 2028

Is the Republican Party changing into something entirely new?

Meghan McCain and Miranda Wilkins react to the growing ideological battle inside the GOP, from the rise of post-liberal conservatism to the influence of figures like Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and J.D. Vance. As both political parties wrestle with identity, the conversation explores where conservatism is headed and what it could mean for 2028.

Senior National Review writer and bestselling author Noah Rothman joins the show to discuss his new book Blood and Progress, the resurgence of democratic socialism, the Democratic Socialists of America, political violence, and why both parties are facing profound internal divisions. He also weighs in on the future of the Republican coalition, Trump's approval ratings, and the growing influence of post-liberal politics.
