AmericaFest 2025: Why this isn't conservatism anymore

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Turning Point USA's major America Fest 2025 conference held over the coming days. They explore how the MAGA movement is evolving beyond traditional conservatism toward populist nationalism and more heterodox and fringe positions on immigration, Israel, and culture. They address the competition to succeed Trump's legacy, featuring figures like JD Vance and Tucker Carlson, while questioning whether these political currents still represent conservatism or something darker and different.
