Ruthless podcast crew covers GOP Midterm Convention with insider access

The "Ruthless" podcast crew descended on the Dallas convention floor, dragging viewers right into the action at the Republican National Committee's Midterm Convention. They brought their unfiltered coverage and political banter straight from the source. This special insider episode on Fox Nation tracked down top Republicans and Cabinet officials to get the inside scoop on the party's push ahead of November. The show gave audiences a front-row seat, blending midterm strategy with the hosts' unscripted humor.

"We might catch a Cabinet secretary or two. I think there are people that are walking around," host Josh Holmes said in a preview. And he delivered exactly what GOP bettors were hoping for at this historic event. The team spoke directly with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy about President Donald Trump's vision for hosting a first-of-its-kind Republican midterm convention.

"What I love about President Trump is, like, he's so innovative. He's creative, he thinks differently. He thinks outside the box. So, for the first time, we're [going to] do a midterm convention," Duffy said. "I think this is a great idea: energize our base."

The hosts did not stop there. They spent their floor walk hunting down other big-name guests at the Dallas event. Viewers heard from Linda McMahon, Chris LaCivita, James Blair and others as the group dove into the political fights and strategies shaping the midterms. The "Ruthless" partners with Fox News Media in 2025 as part of the company's New Media expansion.

The podcast launched in October 2020 with Republican strategist Josh Holmes and Shashank Tripathi, better known as "Comfortably Smug," bringing an irreverent approach to conservative politics. Michael Duncan and John Ashbrook later joined as co-hosts after working alongside Holmes at the public affairs firm Cavalry, rounding out the four-man lineup.
