Excellent interview, so nice to hear an inspiring man who is willing to serve his country in the US Senate!!

Josh, Iowa is winnable and you are the mid court,last second, three point score that puts the W, on the Democrat side. You are a " breath of fresh air" and a strong voice for the betrayal and loss of relevance that farmers are experiencing today.

Go Josh!

I’d recommend also that Iowa consider voting out Chuck Grassley next. I’m sure this fossil wants to run again.

Let me make a prediction. He's going to win.

this guy is awesome - we need to clone him

I was just thinking the same. How can we clone Josh Turek? He would be an excellent person to give tutorials to other democratic candidates.

Josh Turek is an inspiration and I believe his prediction about flipping the senate.

farm in Iowa. Homestead Act. Lincoln connection IRL. Farm's gone, relatives dead or moved. Worked on a farm there in 75. That's how I'll remember it. Hope it goes back to what it was.

Really enjoyed meeting Josh and have contributed to his Campaign in the Hawkeye State despite residing in Ohio. In 1938, my Father, the late Col. Karl Dankof of Hamburg, Iowa would with his High School football team train in the hills of Council Bluffs, Josh’s home town. Like Iowa, Ohio is not a Red State, it’s a Rigged State, thanks to the Tar Heel Legislature’s playbook for rigging elections in favor of the GOP as examined by my Texas Law classmate, Prof. Gene Ray Nichol of UNC Chapel Hill in his book “Indecent Assembly “. But the Big Beautiful Blue Tsunami is coming to sweep away the Evil that is MAGA and their Overlord Trump.

Donated. Thank you Steve and thank you Josh! I have lived among soybean farmers in Minnesota and ranchers in Texas. I am now retired in Arizona and my neighbor from Iowa is one of the kindest and most generous people I have ever known. You guys keep fighting the good fight. We have your backs. :-)

Thank you, Steve and Josh, for such a great interview! I’ve seen Josh in several other interviews but this one showcased his outstanding character in such depth, very well done. I’ll definitely be donating to his campaign again.

Awesome Individual! An inspiration for us all. Thanks

Fabulous interview, Steve Schmidt! Agree Josh Turek - the people of Iowa are very kind. I lived and worked there at one time.

One point of note: Washington DC does NOT change people. No one just changes and bends to a corrupt persons will without already being corrupt.

What a revelatory conversation. Josh Turick is precisely the kind of candidate who restores your faith in what public service was always meant to be, someone driven not by ambition for its own sake, but by genuine conviction and an unwavering commitment to the people he seeks to represent. Iowa deserves leadership of this caliber, and frankly, so does the rest of the country. This is a man who is clearly in this fight for all the right reasons. Godspeed to his candidacy, and count me among those who will be putting dollars behind it.
