On this episode of The Enemies List, best-selling author and former GOP strategist, Stuart Stevens, joins Rick to expose the sham that is the Republican Party. For decades Stuart was behind the curtain helping elect governors, members of the US House and Senate, and presidents. He shares his cold, hard assessment of the demise of his former party and its rise as an authoritarian, anti-American force today.
Listen to Rick Wilson: "I know you want to win on policy, but 'want' and 'need' are always miles apart. You need to win on making this a contest of good versus evil, freedom versus fascism, and America’s future versus Donald Trump and the darkness that follows."
Dr. Jennifer Mercieca examines how Donald Trump used communication to con his supporters and suggests strategies to cool out his marks and defend democracy in America.
Rick and Molly connect on the lunacy of the impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the pernicious presence of the No Labels party across the country, the misinformation around President Biden's health, Twitter's role in the upcoming election and answer important question "what's up with the Nazis?"
Reed Galen: "A third-party ticket can’t win the Presidency. It has never before happened in American history. Despite their protestations that they don’t need to get to 50% + 1 of voters, just to say, 35%, there is no chance of this happening."
Who won the first GOP debate? You wouldn't know based on watching the coverage. Joe thinks he knows - but why won't he tell us who it is? What could change in Iowa? Plus, why we saw so many hopefuls tanking with general election voters in real time.
