In Part 2 of INSIDE THE WIRE, Bill Walton sits down with Wade Miller of the Center for Renewing America for a provocative conversation about the battle beneath American politics: culture, faith, institutions, national identity, and the future of Western civilization.
What if Republicans are winning elections and policy fights—but still fighting the wrong war?
In Part 2 of INSIDE THE WIRE, Bill Walton sits down with Wade Miller of the Center for Renewing America for a provocative conversation about the battle beneath American politics: culture, faith, institutions, national identity, and the future of Western civilization.
Miller argues that too many Republicans in Washington are still operating from an outdated playbook centered on taxes, spending, regulation, and conventional legislative victories—while the deeper struggle is taking place across culture, education, immigration, government institutions, media, faith, and the ideas shaping the next generation.
One question drives this episode: Are politics really the way to fight this fight? Bill Walton and Wade Miller examine:
- Why Washington conservatives may be focused on the wrong battlefield
- Why Miller believes cultural issues deserve far more attention from the conservative movement
- The limits of simply electing “the right Republicans”
- The battle over Western civilization and American identity Christianity, faith, and cultural confidence
- Immigration, border security, assimilation, and national sovereignty DEI and ideological battles inside American institutions China and foreign influence
- What Miller describes as the emerging “Red-Green Alliance”
- Donald Trump’s impact on the conservative movement
- Why winning elections alone may not be enough to change America’s trajectory
- One of the defining ideas of the conversation is simple: Washington leaders should be asking not merely what legislation they can pass—but what they are doing to preserve the civilization they were elected to serve.
This is INSIDE THE WIRE: Part 2 — THE GOP IS FIGHTING THE WRONG WAR.
