Robert McNeily, the former Right Side Broadcasting Network anchor whose question on Air Force One in March 2025 sparked the autopen story, joins Jenny Beth Martin as the newest member of the Tea Party Patriots Action team and the newest voice on The Jenny Beth Show.This is a get-to-know-you conversation that traces Robert's full arc through the conservative movement: from eight years old going door to door for Bob Dole in 1996, to studying opera at the University of Illinois, to serving as president of College Republicans during the 2008 Obama election year, to standing alongside Charlie Kirk when Turning Point USA was just 50 people meeting in St. Charles, Illinois. Robert and Jenny Beth cover Robert's years anchoring city news at KTUU in Anchorage, Alaska, his communications work at Truth Social, his return to RSBN as an infield reporter at Trump rallies, and the values that have shaped him: warrior spirit, grassroots humility, and persistent innovation.The conversation turns deeply personal: surviving papillary thyroid cancer at 15, the recurrence at 18 and the vocal box surgery that almost ended his career in broadcasting, growing up with a single mother who worked three jobs, and the faith that carried him through it all. Robert closes with the three issues he believes define the second Trump term: the judiciary and originalism, the dignity of life, and Iran.Subscribe for daily political commentary from Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder of the Tea Party movement and Chairman of Tea Party Patriots Action.
