🎧 John Thune: It's Time For A Change

🎧 John Thune: It's Time For A Change

Author: Underground USA April 4, 2026 Duration: 44:30

In this segment, I open by making my argument for “regime change”—more accurately, a leadership change—in the US Senate. GOP Senate Majority Leader John Thune has been a great disappointment when it comes to getting things done and keeping his caucus together. I lay out the reasons why I think he needs to be replaced, immediately

Then, when we come back, Kyle and I talk about a litany of news items, including Pam Bondi’s release and the ongoing operations in Iran.

I wrap it all up with a few words about Easter and its meaning, which we should never forget.

We take up this issue…at The Corner of the Bar.

I can’t express how important it is for Republicans, Conservatives, conservative-minded Independents, and Libertarians to turn out at the polls, not just for the midterms and the general elections, but for every single election from local to county to state to national. It’s about momentum. It’s about sending the undeniable signal that we are here, haven’t gone anywhere, and are committed to the cause.

Remember, the American Marxist-Left is playing the long game. They believe they can wait out Trump’s four years and then pounce at the polls. We need to send clear messages at every opportunity that this is not the case; that we haven’t gone anywhere, and that our numbers are solid and growing.

The entire America First agenda, the policies put into place by Trump and his team to free the American people from the oppressive political and ideological chains placed on us by the far-Left, will come to a screeching halt if we lose the midterms. This is a red-line moment.

And when you are talking to people who are on the fence, put it to them this way, because it’s true: Elections are not about voting for the best candidate, the candidate that promises you the moon and the stars and then shoves the tax bill up your ass when April 15th comes around. Elections are about keeping the worse candidates from the seats of power. No single politician is the remedy for the Marxism that has crept into American culture. We must elect a full complement of people who have fidelity to the Constitution and their constituents over fidelity to their political party.
