In this tight summary you’ll hear about the resilience of Turning Point USA’s infrastructure, how immigration and Israel have become animating issues for the MAGA-aligned right, and why housing affordability may be the next populist flashpoint. Kolvet also reflects on faith, leadership, and the role of forgiveness versus grievance in conservative politics — essential context for anyone tracking political polarization, misinformation, and the future of conservatism.
