Here Are the TOP 2 Things Republicans HAVE to Do Before the Midterms | 4/28/26

In this episode of the Steve Deace Show, host Steve Dace outlines two critical actions Republicans must take before the 2026 midterm elections to secure victory. First, he emphasizes the urgent need to pass the SAVE Act to combat severe base erosion, warning that failure to do so could irreparably damage Republican turnout, especially among core voters who prioritize election integrity. He argues that without a strong base mobilization, Republicans cannot even enter the political 'poker game.' Second, he stresses the necessity of addressing the economic crisis, citing a Gallup poll showing 55% of Americans believe their financial situation is worsening—making economic recovery a non-negotiable priority. Dace also discusses the geopolitical implications of the UAE leaving OPEC, suggesting it could lead to a more favorable energy landscape if the U.S. secures a strategic relationship with the UAE. The episode features in-depth interviews with Jeffrey Tucker on the first criminal indictment related to the pandemic era (David Morin), and Buck Sexton on his new book, *Manufacturing Mass Delusion*, which explores how the left uses propaganda, language manipulation, and psychological conditioning to create societal delusions. Dace frames the entire political struggle as a battle for truth, credibility, and cultural survival, urging conservatives to reject false narratives and take aggressive, principled action.
