The Socialist Utopia Is Crumbling

About this episode

Tiffany Smiley discusses the impact of progressive policies and the migration of families from Democrat-led states.

High taxes and rising crime are driving a "wealth migration" out of the West. Republican Strategist Tiffany Smiley discusses the destructive impact of progressive policies in Washington State and the urgent need for a return to the American Dream. Plus, Dana and Tiffany examine the lingering effects of COVID-19 lockdowns on the next generation and why younger voters are becoming more politically bold. Purple State: Tiffany points out how families are fleeing Democrat-led states for places like Idaho, creating a shift in wealth and congressional influence that could reshape the political map.
