Rational Radio Daily With Steele And Ungar

Senator Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) says he knew the Republican Party was headed in the wrong direction in the mid-2000's when it "stopped talked about fiscal conservatism and started talking about flag-burning.” Senator Flake, then a member of the House of Representatives, says the GOP abandoned its conservative principles, spending vast sums of taxpayer money and focusing on fighting at the front lines of the culture wars. On March 15th, the senator stirred up some controversy in a speech at the National Press Club, declaring, “My party might not deserve to lead.” Senator Flake joins Michael and Rick to discuss his concerns with the direction of the Republican Party under President Trump. Congressman Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas 16) talks about his campaign to unseat Senator Ted Cruz and his push to turn Texas purple.
