AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Why does it feel like no matter what happens in American politics, the Democrats still get their way?

When he left Congress in 2017, Jason Chaffetz still thought elections could save us. For generations, conservatives have hoped that freedom-loving congressional majorities could turn back the tide and restore America’s liberties and prosperity.

But now, he says, winning elections will not be enough.

Increasingly, the work of government is being done by people outside the government—unelected power brokers who are invisible to the American public but who pull the strings, set the agendas, create the incentives, and write the rules we must all live by. Using both government and non-governmental institutions, leftists have bypassed the legislative process to compel institutional compliance with partisan goals. The White House or the Congress may change hands, but the left remains in power.

In The Puppeteers, Chaffetz reveals how:

1. Susan Rice was put in charge of using the bureaucracy to make sure Republicans never win another election
2. The federal government now could be deployed to harvest ballots from Democrats
3. President Biden hired a Blackrock executive to run his economic agenda for the first two years of his presidency
4. State treasurers planned to use billions of government dollars to “address climate change” and “racial inequality,” with almost no way for voters to stop them
5. Randi Weingarten makes more decisions for the education department than people who actually work there

Electing the right leaders is no longer enough. To take back our country, the American people need to understand that they’re in a new fight. But it’s a fight that’s still eminently winnable, and Chaffetz reveals the playbook.

Top notch author

This story is consistent with his other books. A great story and definitely worth reading.

As I understand my country

I always felt there were people in America who would rather live elsewhere but didn’t want to leave the benefits of America and this books proves it.

thank you

your stated hope gives me comfort, it's a struggle everyday to watch this country sink into less than mediocrity, may God bless these United states

How did we lose the spirit of America?

Losing the spirit of America didn't happen over night. This tells how it happened right in front of us and why we didn't see it.

Great Eye Opener!

This was an excellent book. It highlights many examples of how the leftists select people (a B team) for unelected key positions to create control without voter approval and the impact this has on our freedom. Thankfully, he also discusses ways we can help change this over time. A more detailed book of strategies for the average American to help impact this change would be wonderful. Thank you

Every American should read.

Form a weekly reading club for everRepublican to read this book and discuss real solutions.Then we will know where they stood on saving the country.

The Puppateers

Sometimes the truth hurts but we need to hear it then deal with it. The author sets this truth up in a profound way and you don’t want to believe what the Government is doing to us. I recommend to one and all.” I’ll

The left’s seemingly irrational decisions made clear

Excellent book. Paints the picture of the real reasons why the left makes seeming irrational decisions. They are playing long all but as this book points out, there is still hope for the right, if we take action

Jason Chaffetz is a great narrator

I was SO depressed until the last chapter when Jason talked of the new Governor in Virginia.
If unelected bureaucrats are 95 percent dems, then living in a Red State is our only hope.
I do disagree with his comment that there is more in common among us, than what divides us.
I have absolutely nothing in common with dems who want to "pack the court", kill babies, confiscate AR-15s, or allow trans freaks to infiltrate our military.
OK, I'm saving a screenshot. We'll see if Amazon/Audible is part of the problem. Lord knows they have made plenty of money off me.

Excellent book!

This book was very insightful into the people and groups that control everything in America. I especially enjoyed the insight of voting for your state and local treasurers as the first place to start ending this corruption.
