With the 2026 midterms about two months away, Rod argues Republicans are not losing because Washington is fumbling. They are losing because their own people are not telling the story.

He walks through what he says is already on the board in Trump’s second term: a 99.9% drop in illegal border crossings, roughly three million deportations (many via a self-deportation program), taxes eliminated on tips, overtime, and Social Security for most seniors, wage growth outrunning inflation, $18 trillion in announced U.S. investment, a nuclear restart after four decades of nothing, energy shifting from the Persian Gulf to the “Gulf of America,” and a deregulation ratio of 129 repealed rules for every new one. He also maps Senate and House math, the Canada trade fight, the Iran blockade strategy, men out of women’s sports, the death of DEI/ESG pressure, and why Tucker/Candace-style sabotage plus pastoral pietism leave Christians unprepared to vote or lead.

The charge is not “wait for Trump to knock on your neighbor’s door.” It is: stop being sheep, take responsibility for five or ten people, preach the whole counsel of God, and get them to the polls. Rod plugs daily analysis at rodmartin.org and his election-timed book.
