    02: Enough With the White Papers

    In episode 2 of The Long March, Breccan sits down with Terry to talk about how think tanks and advocacy groups really influence politicians. They discuss why white papers alone fail, the split between elite influencers and the popular vote, and why you have to reward your friends and punish your enemies. They also cover the Pat McCrory bathroom bill fight, what changed between 2016 and today, and why Terry wants to organize families as a voting bloc. They close with what the midterm losses mean for the Republican economic agenda. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    01: Patronage, Personnel, and Policy (ft. Nick Solheim)

    Personnel is policy, but where should the Right find personnel? As co-founder and CEO of American Moment and a veteran of President Trump's 2024 presidential personnel office, Nick Solheim has interviewed thousands of young conservatives for jobs in Washington. In the first episode of The Long March, Breccan sits down with Nick to talk about the battle between 4,500 political appointees and two million career bureaucrats. They discuss the difference between Trump's first term and his second, why your congressman never actually read that omnibus bills, and why patronage isn't the dirty word academics make it out to be. Plus: the one interview question every American Moment applicant will be asked, why you should never quote Aristotle in a job interview.
