I understand why so many conservatives are frustrated. America is facing enormous challenges, and I don't think anyone should pretend otherwise. But I also think too many people on our side have fallen into a mindset where every development is treated as proof that we've already lost.
In today's show, I explain why I believe that's a mistake. I'll walk through several major victories the Trump administration has achieved—from accelerating deportations after key court wins, to securing the southern border, revoking thousands of commercial driver's licenses, cracking down on refugee admissions, and targeting discriminatory hiring practices that disadvantage American workers. None of these victories are enough by themselves, but they are real progress, and ignoring them only feeds unnecessary defeatism.
