Description

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, we examine the state of American institutions, the GOP, and family finances with three great guests. First, Goldwater Institute Senior Fellow Timothy K. Minella joins the show to discuss his new report "Peer Review Gone Wild," which argues that major academic journals are prioritizing ideology over rigorous scholarship, undermining public trust in taxpayer-funded research and evidence-based policymaking. Then, Jesse Arm, vice president of external affairs at the Manhattan Institute, breaks down his new analysis "The New GOP: Survey Analysis of Americans Overall, Today's Republican Coalition, and the Minorities of MAGA," exploring shifting voter coalitions, the emerging Republican base, and what recent Tennessee election results tell us about the party's future. Finally, financial expert Gary Gygi returns to discuss the new proposal for "Trump Accounts," which would provide every child born between 2025 and 2028 with a 1,000 dollar deposit from the federal government and what that could mean for families.
