Friend,
I get asked a lot why I'm willing to have conversations in places like Fox News.
The simple answer is because I know how many viewers haven’t heard what I have to say. And if someone has never actually heard what we have to say – not a clip or a caricature, but the actual argument – I can't blame them for not agreeing with us.
That's not on them. It’s on us.
Risk aversion has taken root in my party, at great cost. There is such fear of saying something wrong – such worry about a clip getting taken out of context or a line getting twisted – that we are pressured stop saying much of anything at all.
All that’s left is safe formats, predictable answers, carefully managed appearances.
Meanwhile, people form their views elsewhere. Podcasts. YouTube. A Jubilee “Surrounded” format with undecided voters asking every hard question they've got. Platforms that a lot of political strategists have downplayed or avoided.
If we're not showing up there, someone else is filling that space.
So, I decided that I'd rather take the risk.
It’s not just Fox News. It’s so many media spaces that don’t see enough of our views. And there’s a geographic equivalent to this. A barn in rural North Carolina. A town hall in Tulsa. A congressional district Trump won by double digits. Wherever the conversation is happening, we need to be in it – making the real argument, not the safe one.
That's how we expand the map. That's how we earn back voters we've written off for too long.
It’s work that I’m committed to carrying out between now and November, but it doesn't happen without resources behind it.
So, I’m reaching out to ask you directly: Will you chip in whatever you can today to help us keep showing up?
