<![CDATA[Inside Baseball with Alec Sears]]>Politics has its own private language, and most of it gets spoken behind closed doors. Inside Baseball with Alec Sears drags that conversation into the open.

Host Alec Sears, a communications strategist with a decade of experience whose resume runs through the Republican National Committee, the Trump Campaign, and top DC digital firms, sits down with the candidates, operatives, reporters, and culture-makers who actually shape how America argues with itself. No cable news crossfire, no recycled talking points. Just long-form conversations about how campaigns really get run, how narratives really get built, and what the people in the room actually believe when the cameras are off.

If you want to know not just what happened but why it happened that way, pull up a chair.

Produced by Wise Digital Strategies.

He is a Space Force reservist, father of five, and founder of a classical Christian school. Now he’s the Republican nominee in Texas’s 32nd District, running against Democrat Dan Barrios.

Alec talks with Jace about how a required government class changed his path, what Stanford looked like after 2016, the year-plus fight over the COVID vaccine mandate, data centers and the AI race in Texas, and the movies that still stick with him — from The Lives of Others to The Big Lebowski.
