Stuart Stevens LIVE on the GOP's Moral Collapse

The GOP chose power over principle and became the party of Paxton.

Stuart Stevens

Key Takeaways:

  • John Cornyn is begging Trump for approval while Ken Paxton tries to out-MAGA him from the right.

  • Ghislaine Maxwell just got a sweetheart prison transfer — and the GOP has nothing to say.

  • What used to be cowardice in the Republican Party is now the point.

  • Stuart calls out Cornyn, Paxton, Trump — and takes full responsibility for helping build the GOP machine.

  • This is what happens when shame dies and power becomes the only ideology.


Stuart doesn’t just tell you the Republican Party lost its way — he names the people who sold it off, and the culture that cheered them on. The GOP didn’t trip into this. It became the party of Texas AG Ken Paxton on purpose — a party that elevates the indicted and sidelines the honest.

Stuart recalls working for Texas U.S. Senator John Cornyn back when the man had a spine, back before MAGA turned every primary into a loyalty test. Now Cornyn’s producing campaign ads straight out of a rodeo fever dream while refusing to say a single word about Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted predator moved to a cushy prison in his own backyard.

And that silence? It’s deliberate. “If you haven’t said no to a pardon,” Stuart says, “you’ve already said yes.” There is no apolitical corner left in today’s GOP. The party has trained its voters to cheer vengeance and see weakness as virtue — and it didn’t happen by accident. It happened because people like Stuart, who knew better, made it work. “They listened to me. That’s the problem.” It’s not a confession — it’s a dare to everyone still hiding behind the idea that this is just about one man. It’s about a party that rewards complicity and punishes courage.

Stuart ends with a simple truth: There is no cavalry coming. No internal reckoning. No magical moment of GOP awakening. The only thing that will end this is loss — not just for Trump, but for every Republican who helped him climb and now refuses to say his name. That takes votes. That takes turnout. That takes moral clarity.

Tune in, share it, and don’t wait for someone else to fix this — because if we don’t name the sickness, we’re already losing to it.
