About this episode

This episode features a discussion with David McIntosh on the implications of tax day for Americans and the broader economic context.

- Filmed 4/15/26 - On this episode of Fresh Freedom, we sat down with Club for Growth President David McIntosh to break down what tax day really means for Americans this year. We talked through the impact of the Working Families Tax Cuts, what rising refunds and higher take-home pay signal for the economy, and whether that momentum will be enough to carry Republicans through the midterms. We also dug into the bigger fight ahead, including government spending, healthcare costs, and the role of free market policies in bringing prices down. McIntosh shared insight from years of experience on how economic growth, deregulation, and accountability in Washington all tie together. At the core of the conversation was a simple question: are Americans actually feeling the results of these policies, and will it change how they vote? This episode gets into the numbers, the strategy, and the stakes.
