Daniel McCarthy (Heritage Foundation & Modern Age) joins Jon Harris to discuss the evolution of Republican foreign policy from Reagan to Trump, the defeat of Thomas Massie, and the tension between restraint, realism, and neoconservatism.

Topics include: Reagan’s peace through strength, Bush-era nation-building, Trump’s transactional approach, historical conservative thought (Washington, Calhoun, Taft), current challenges with Iran/Israel, and why Massie’s loss reveals deeper party realities.
