Republicans Forgot the Everyday Americans Who Elected Them | Albert Eisenberg

Republican strategist Albert Eisenberg of Redbridge joins David for an honest, two-sided breakdown of the GOP's self-inflicted problem heading into 2026. You'll hear Albert explain how Republicans won Hispanic, younger Black, and under-$50K voters for the first time in their lifetimes — and why the party "lost its appetite" for delivering the moment the election was over. David and Albert also dig into where they genuinely disagree on Iran, and agree on the bigger danger: a party that stopped talking to everyday Americans and started talking only to itself. No talking points, no consensus theater — just two guys working through what it'll actually take to not throw this away. ✅ Sponsors: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ 🍊 Revival Nutrition: https://revivalnutrition.com/collections/rutherford Use promo code DAVID for 20% off 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ 📕 Get David's novel, The Poet Warrior: https://www.ballastbooks.com/ballast-bookstore/the-poet-warrior 📰 Sign up for David's newsletter for free coaching tips, updates, and more: https://davidrutherfordletter.substack.com/ 🎧 Listen To The Podcast: ➡️ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-david-rutherford-show/id1807090449 ➡️ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4p4wYEiUmm0PD79D5GZAV4?si=l-rPJBJORPi9IGB1eE3_pw ➡️ iHeart Radio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-the-david-rutherford-show-271920338?cmp=ios_share&sc=ios_social_share&pr=false&autoplay=true 📲 Follow us on social: https://linktr.ee/davidrutherfordshow 🕘 Timestamps: 00:00 - Preview 01:26 - Reaching Across The Aisle 06:27 - The Changing Voter Base & How To Win Elections 13:57 - The Changing Republican Coalition 17:32 - Disagreement on Iran & Better Messaging 27:08 - How Republicans Can Win The Midterms 36:43 - Reaching Regular Americans & Gen Z 41:00 - What Albert Would Change In Republican Messaging 54:19 - How To Follow & Support Albert's Work About: David Rutherford, former Navy SEAL and CIA contractor,
