Join former chief Republican strategist Stuart Stevens as he raises a provocative question: Will 2024 be America's last free and fair election? Stevens, whose clients included President George W. Bush and several senators and governors, warns that the GOP is veering towards autocracy, posing a threat to American democracy.

In his new book, "The Conspiracy to End America," Stevens explores the forces driving the Republican party towards autocracy and examines the elements necessary for democracies to slide into authoritarianism. As an advisor to the Lincoln Project, Stevens offers a stark warning and a call to action to preserve democratic governance in the face of growing threats.

Don't miss this important discussion as Stevens sounds a blinking red distress alert and offers insights on how to counter this existential threat to American democracy.
