What is the Path Forward?

March 1, 2025

Mark is joined by former Lt. Governor of Maryland and former RNC Chairman, Michael Steele. They talk about what has happened since Donald Trump's inauguration, what the path forward is, and what people can do about it.

People want to come to America despite what goes on here and now we have someone who wants to put that up for sale.

Mark talks about how he was texting with Adam Kinsinger on inauguration morning and he asked him how he was doing. Adam replied "It sucks, but I'm still hopeful." He asks Michael the same question to which Michael replies, "This sucks and I am Concerned."

Michael also touches on a plan in the works to take the party in a different direction, and he answers the question, "what was his favorite title?"

Mark then muses about how to keep your sanity and find your reason, despite the whirlwind of news that surrounds us every day.

When you find it, you'll know exactly what you’re fighting for and that's the key.

Former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland and chair of the Republican National Committee from 2009 until 2011, Michael Steele joins host Mark Becker for this edition of Rational Revolution.

Michael, who still considers him a Republican because quote: "It pisses them off", talks about the old Republican party, where he thinks it is and what conservative should mean, which is to "conserve prosperity", and ultimately how republicans used to talk about inclusivity. What happened and how did the GOP become the version of itself that it is? And how do we get back to that? Michael dives in.

How do we take it back from them? This party is lost. So Mark asks can it be saved. Find out Michael's answer.
