Tom Basile opened the new year on America Right Now by reminding Americans that this country is actually moving in the right direction — a welcome change after years of decline under the left’s failed experiments. He praised renewed American leadership abroad and the stronger security posture at home, insisting we must keep the momentum going for working families. Basile’s message was plain: leadership, strength, and an America First agenda are the recipe for prosperity and safety in 2026.
That clarity about security matters because our enemies watch weakness the way hawks watch prey, and Basile drove that point home with sharp commentary on the need for a capable military and decisive foreign policy. He reminded viewers that safe streets and stable neighborhoods begin with a secure border and leaders who put citizens first. Conservatives who have watched their communities suffer under soft-on-crime, open-border policies know exactly what he was talking about — strength produces peace, weakness invites chaos.
On economics and jobs, Basile urged a continued commitment to policies that put American workers ahead of foreign interests, arguing that a true America First approach rebuilds industry, restores pride in work, and shrinks the power of elitist technocrats. He hammered the point that tax relief, deregulation, and energy independence are not partisan talking points but blue-collar necessities. If Washington refuses to choose the people over the political class, the gains of this new year will evaporate — and Basile made it clear he expects Republicans to fight to keep those gains.
Basile didn’t mince words about the cultural rot that’s been tolerated in schools, courts, and corporate America; he framed the fight as a battle for the soul of the nation. The conservative case is simple: defend American traditions, teach history honestly, and reject the woke manuals that have hollowed out institutions and demoralized citizens. Americans who still believe in country, family, and faith should take Basile’s warning seriously — the next several years will decide whether we reclaim our institutions or watch them be remade in a radical image.
Newsmax and programs like America Right Now are filling a gap left by mainstream media that still pretends there’s no crisis in leadership or values, and Basile’s segment was a call to organize and mobilize. He reminded viewers that real news outlets exist to hold power accountable and to remind citizens of what they can fight for at the ballot box and in their communities. Conservatives must keep showing up, speaking up, and voting — there is no substitute for civic engagement when the future of our liberties is at stake.
If you believed the last decade was inevitable, Basile’s blunt optimism is a shove awake: America can be stronger, safer, and prouder if patriots insist on it. This is not the time for complacency or ceding ground to the coastal elites who profit from chaos; it is the moment to double down on America First policies and the kind of leadership that secures our borders, backs our troops, and stands up for working families. The choice is clear — cling to fading softness or stand with Basile and millions of Americans who want a nation that once again puts its people first.
