## Resource

The Republican establishment isn't just surviving — it is rebuilding its power because conservatives stopped fighting where elections are actually won: Republican primaries. Today, I explain why the conservative movement has become obsessed with exposing problems while ignoring the political battles that determine who writes the laws. The result? RINOs are no longer just surviving — they are defeating conservative incumbents with the backing of powerful special-interest money. Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) joins the show to discuss how a green energy PAC aligned with Biden's renewable energy agenda is spending heavily to defeat him after he helped repeal Green New Deal subsidies. Yet voters are never told the real reason these outside groups are targeting conservatives, and their candidates run ads as if they are the true conservative. Learn more about your ad choices.
