Episode 120 — The Future Of America With Ohio Gubernatorial Candidate Casey Putsch

What does the future of America actually look like at the state level — and who is willing to fight for it?

In this episode of The Backlash, Dave sits down with Ohio gubernatorial candidate Casey Putsch to discuss the collapse of federal credibility, the resurgence of state sovereignty, and why the next political battles will be fought closer to home. Putsch outlines his vision for rebuilding industry, restoring local control, ending bureaucratic overreach, and reviving an American identity rooted in productivity, culture, and civic responsibility.

The conversation explores the failures of globalization, the hollowing out of the Midwest, and how technological innovation, energy independence, and regional self-sufficiency could reshape the American future. They also examine the growing distrust of national institutions, the role of political outsiders, and whether state leadership can offer a real alternative to Washington dysfunction.

If America’s future will be decided by strong states, resilient communities, and leaders willing to reject managed decline — this is a conversation you cannot miss.
