How Will We Change the Uniparty if We Sleep Through Every Primary? | 5/6/24
Today, I contrast the amazingly organized movement of the far Left to that nonexistent one of the Right. All we have are memes and cultural flash points, but no forward-looking movement on law and policy to capitalize on these flash points. I use the college campus riots as an example for how the Left has effectively used its agitators to push an already left-wing president even farther to the left, to the point where he is now openly opposing Israel. Yet on the right, we have Speaker Johnson screwing us on every issue, but we lack the movement to remove him. Trump continues to support him. He also complains about a narrow majority but undermines any ability to get better Republicans in the primaries. I explain how nothing will change – even if Republicans win in November – if we are not willing to do surgery now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Who is at Fault? Conservative Media or Conservative Voters? | Guest: Steve Deace | 5/3/24
Why is it that we have a one-sided civil war with only the left having an effective political movement? Why is it that we elevate subversive voices and politicians on the right who undermine our core values and outcomes? Today, we settle the ultimate debate between my colleague Steve Deace and me: Is it that conservative media voices spew garbage because they know that’s what conservative voters want to hear, similar to the false prophets in the Bible? Or is it that the conservative voters will take whatever they receive from conservative elites, and if we actually had better elites, we can come to the promised land? Steve has decisively come to the conclusion that the people are the problem. He makes a passionate case that although there is evidence conservative elites manipulate unsuspecting followers, DeSantis’ candidacy is the control group on this question. They knew about him and still chose sugar over steak. He believes that even if we had better leaders on the professional Right, a new parallel universe would inevitably develop to offer the people what they want. Because of the Baby Boomers and their lazy desire for comfort and the path of least resistance, we are stuck with them like the Israelites who wandered for 40 years in the desert.

A Lack of Leadership and Vision Creates False Dichotomies and Choices on the Right | 5/2/24
Today, I continue to make the case for why Speaker Johnson needs to be removed and why Trump must be forced to drop his support for him. Johnson placed a dumb hate crimes bill on the floor yesterday, which has forced conservatives into a false choice. I warn how Johnson’s brand of Republicanism is actually fueling more anti-Semitism on the reactionary Right by stupidly making support for Israel about money and hate crimes legislation rather than about ending Islamic immigration and foreign funding of universities. That would synergize pro-Israel and pro-Jewish initiatives with America first. Later on, I offer updates on successes and failures in red states, including the toughest immigration law that just passed in Oklahoma but is about to be undermined by the governor.

Why the Speaker Fight Is So Important | 5/1/24
Stop focusing on the general election. Now is primary time. Today, I explain the case for getting rid of Speaker Johnson (R-La.) and why the timing of most congressional primaries is optimal to maximize pressure on members. Everything going on today can be influenced through our own dominion over red states on the right, but that will require my colleges to demand that Trump stop supporting Johnson. I show how Trump continues to drift to the left and help bail Johnson out and is literally siding with Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.). Finally, I discuss how the recent Utah convention shows that we can single-handedly take over the GOP in one election if we moved from popular primaries to representative conventions. It is the single closest idea I have to a silver bullet, and it’s shocking that we don’t have greater support around it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Enemies Within: The Nexus of Communism and Islamism Taking Over Our Streets | Guest: Daniel Greenfield | 4/26/24
You might have heard a lot this week about the Hamas riots on the college campuses, but where is this coming from? We’re joined today by Daniel Greenfield, an investigative journalist and writer at FrontPage magazine, who intricately connects the dots between Soros, the Ford Foundation, and Rockefeller money and the foreign Muslim Brotherhood promotion of the college riots. I also give a tutorial on constitutional rights and protests to show how there is a difference between freedom of speech and taking over public venues, in addition to school codes of conduct. Ultimately, I believe the anarchy in blue states juxtaposed to the way the riots are handled in places like Florida and Texas will accelerate the national divide, which is actually a good thing.

Fox News Viewers Want a King to Rule, Not a Leader to Lead | 4/25/24
Today, I lament how Trump continues to slide to the left and run an ineffective campaign. Yet the very “GOP normie” voters who wrongly put all their eggs in the presidential election basket refuse to ensure that Trump actually puts together a winning strategy. I offer a postmortem on the Senate vote for the Ukraine grift and how Trump endorsed 24 of the 31 who supported it. We are continuing to sleep through another primary season, just like we slept through DeSantis. We’re living through the book of Kings. DeSantis is like Josiah in that he is leading in all the ways we desire, but privately we want to act just like the Left and believe in idols. Plus, “Flight 93 election” revisited eight years later.

The Saturday Massacre of the House GOP and the Need to Remove Speaker Johnson | Rep. Thomas Massie | 4/22/24
Congress rarely meets on Saturday, but this week was different. Republican leaders joined with every Democrat to sell us out on foreign aid and everything else that is important. I take a sledgehammer to Mike Johnson (R-La.) for using the Bible and Israel to justify his betrayal when, in fact, even the Israel bill is full of provisions that negate Israel’s security and actually help harness anti-Semitism. Next, we’re joined by Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) for a very thorough debriefing on what occurred on Saturday. Massie explains how Johnson insidiously used a veterans’ bill to grease the skids for Schumer to pass the Ukraine agenda. He makes the full case against Johnson and calls upon his colleagues to sign the motion to vacate so that we can force Johnson out and avoid a floor vote. Also, Massie teases out a potential move to the Kentucky state Senate one day and why that is probably a step up from being in Congress. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
You Can’t Rebuild a Movement Without Removing the Dead Grass | Guest: Rep. Warren Davidson | 4/19/24
There is a reason why we have a comatose movement that refuses to focus on red-state primaries and legislative sessions or holding Republicans accountable. It is so consumed by Trump and his subversion. I explain why Trump will continue to move to the left in pursuit of monied interests and how the conservative base will continue to be ineffective until it comes to terms with his failures. Next, we’re joined by Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), who gives us an update on Speaker Johnson’s legislative ground and pound. He explains how Johnson used procedures to maximize the success of Democrat foreign aid and how he has full support from the Biden administration. Learn more about your ad choices.

Conservative Commentators Like to Fight in the Abstract but Never What’s in Front of Them | 4/18/24
There is more pervasive opinion on the Right that the GOP is a fake opposition than ever before. Yet these same commentators refuse to look in the mirror and recognize that they have enabled this for years and continue to do so to this day. They either sleep through the critical legislative fights and primaries or sometimes downright subvert them. I discuss the “code of silence” around pointing any finger at Trump for supporting Ukraine funding, even as everyone gets all red-faced over Speaker Johnson’s betrayal (with Trump’s support). Commentators are starting to acknowledge the red-state RINO problem but fail to see how Trump has re-elected nearly every one of them and continues to do so to this day. These same commentators refuse to get involved in down-ballot primaries, refuse to engage in red-state legislative fights, and refuse to pressure Trump to the right. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Most Important Way to Stop Judicial Tyranny | 4/17/24
First, we make the case for why Speaker Johnson (R-La.) must be removed and why Trump must stop giving him cover. Johnson is about to screw us on Ukraine for no reason. I also explain how he made FISA 702 much worse than current law in a way that expands the NSA's power to almost any business or landowner with internet service onsite. Next, I delve into a monumental concurrence from Justices Gorsuch, Thomas, and Alito on how lower courts do not have the authority to issue universal injunctions. Unless state governors begin adopting this position, everything we seek to accomplish in the red states will be “vetoed” by the forum-shopped liberal judges. Also, I make the case for why I believe Trump is unlikely to win, but even if he does win, his presidency will be neutralized unless we end the practice of universal injunctions.

How the Biden Administration Made America the Comms Department for Iran | Guest: Lee Smith | 4/16/24
Now that Republicans surrendered domestic policy to Biden, he has a free lane to mess with Israel’s sovereignty. We’re joined today by Lee Smith of Tablet magazine, who explains how Biden has purposely allied with Iran to imperil Israel and then give the impression that Israel needs him to protect its territory from Iran. Lee makes the case that Israel needs to become independent of U.S. aid while we focus on the Islamization here at home. Israel needs to crush the jihadists in order to tamp down the inspiration for jihad among Americans living here. Unfortunately, Speaker Johnson (R-La.) is playing into the Biden administration’s effort to divide the Right by making Israel about foreign aid and tacking on Ukraine funding rather than countering Biden’s policies against Israel. What Republicans should be doing is using must-pass bills to defund the PLO, the Iran deal, and the Lebanese armed forces, abrogate Biden’s alliance with Qatar, designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terror group, and cut off immigration from Middle Eastern countries.

The Trump Press Conference from Hell | 4/15/24
Speaker Johnson (R-La.) once again massacred conservatives on Friday by reauthorizing an expanded version of FISA 702 spying, despite bipartisan support against it. He was the tie vote against requiring a warrant. Yet not only did Trump decline to pressure him, he gave Johnson complete cover at Mar-a-Lago. In addition, Trump held a press conference on Friday promoting Ukraine funding, bashing anti-abortion laws, opposing the motion to vacate the speakership, and promoting Obamacare. I warn that Trump is being compromised by a quest for wealthy donors and that if we don’t work to push him to the right, this dangerous leftward slide will accelerate. I also give baseline thoughts on Iran’s attack on Israel and how the Biden administration is working with Iran and even ordered the attack. Rather than focusing on foreign aid, the GOP House should have used leverage on budgets and reauthorization bills to prohibit Biden’s policies empowering Israel’s enemies.

The Insanity of the FISA 702 Spying Program | Guest: Rep. Warren Davidson | 4/12/24
Americans love privacy. There is bipartisan support for requiring a warrant to query any information on Americans swept up in this surveillance program. Why are Republicans allowed to squander that once again? And why aren’t conservatives pressuring Trump to drop his support for Johnson on this issue, as well as Ukraine funding? Later on, we’re joined by Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), one of the pioneers in the fight for privacy, who is trying to force a vote banning the government from purchasing our data from third-party vendors. He explains how the 702 program has proven to be abused and is much broader than people realize. We have a government that openly lets in thousands of dangerous Middle Eastern terrorists and violent Latin American gangs, and then they turn around and demand we authorize domestic spying under the guise of national security. This is anarcho-tyranny at its best. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The State Freedom Caucus Movement Is the New Party We’ve Been Waiting For | Guest: Andy Roth | 4/11/24
What if I told you we already have the raw materials for a new party without having to go through the insurmountable process of getting a new party line on the ballot? I’m joined today by Andy Roth, president of the State Freedom Caucus Network, who paints a vivid description of how the Freedom Caucuses are serving as a branded movement to upend the uniparty in what should be red states. Liberal Republicans are now retiring because Freedom Caucus members have made their grift feel so miserable. Andy’s only regret is that he didn’t do this earlier. The key is that the members are all principles and focused on issues, not personality and drama. You can have a big tent for various issues, but you need a core that is not tainted by foreign influence or grifting personalities. Separately, I discuss how to win on abortion and how Florida polling proves the point. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
You Can’t Fight Evil with Stupid | 4/10/24
What happens when you build a mindlessly populist movement unmoored from any principles or strategic goals? Well, you get what we have today, which is elements of MAGA embracing abortion, Bruce Jenner, Log Cabin Republicans, and now even Hamas. I delve into Tucker Carlson’s complete conversion into a Hamas-promoting leftist – all to politically own one Jew he happens to dislike. We don’t have time for this nonsense. I give the Biblical analogy from Kings 12 with Jeroboam and Rehoboam on how a movement built on just rote opposition without any affirmative beliefs winds up being worse than the movement it is critiquing in the first place. Just know that we don’t need to sign on to false choices. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Despite Government Data, We Are Now in a Permanent Recession | 4/9/24
We always hear the conservative noise machine industry tell us that unless we vote Republican every other November, we will be stuck with socialism. Well, I’ve got news for you: We already have permanent socialism, and merely focusing on the topline ballot of the general election will not fix that. The only way to end the venture socialism from which we already suffer is for states to begin adopting gold and silver currency. Today, I offer a broad presentation of economic and labor data proving that we now face a permanent recession in the job market as consumer prices, credit, and debt skyrocket to record levels. These problems are much greater than the ability of any one general election — even with good Republican candidates — to solve. We need to stop with the distractions and begin fighting as if our lives are on the line ... because they actually are. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The Political Eclipse from Trump’s Abortion 'Mooning' | 4/8/24
The solar eclipse will only last a few minutes, but the mooning we have incurred from Trump’s political eclipse has distracted us for eight years. I address Trump’s ridiculous comments on abortion today and demonstrate how they are emblematic of a broader problem in that he doesn’t believe or understand a lot of our values. Therefore, at the first sight of political trouble, he tosses the issue overboard. It would sure help if Trump would at least parlay his retreat on abortion into a fight for bodily autonomy against the biomedical security state. But alas, because of his mooning on the vaccine issue, no amount of information that comes out about the deadly shots is moving the needle on the policy front. I detail some of the new studies on the shots showing a shocking percentage of people suffered cardiac damage and that the damage is long-lasting. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Freedom Caucus Is the Only Way to Destroy Controlled Opposition | Guest: Evan Newman | 4/5/24
From the old GOP to the Tea Party and then MAGA, our movement has constantly been hijacked by a controlled opposition designed to subvert and blunt our momentum on issues. I explain how the "Bruce Gender" movement is designed to slow our natural momentum we have against the Rainbow Jihad. So, what is the solution? There is no better illustration of a movement pursuing affirmative good than the South Carolina Freedom Caucus. We are joined today by Evan Newman, the state director, who gives us a seminar on how to build a smart, principled legislative caucus to completely expose and defeat the uni-party. He recounts all of this year’s successes and how the Freedom Caucus now has challengers to roughly half of the mainstay Republicans. The Freedom Caucus focuses on quality over quantity, ensures members are actively fighting to move the Overton window, and then openly campaigns across the state against the GOP. If we replicate this for a few cycles in other red states, we will have a different country. In other words, it doesn’t have to be this way. Learn more about your ad choices.

What’s Behind Biden’s Obsessive War on Israel | Guest: Yoram Hazony | 4/4/24
We turn to foreign policy today, first, to discuss the latest effort from Speaker Johnson (R-La.) to push Ukraine funding, unfortunately with the blessing of Trump. I contrast the lack of courage on the Right to influence Trump with the success of the radical Left and Islamic organizations that are successfully taking an anti-Israel president and making him even more diabolically opposed to the Jewish state. We’re joined by Yoram Hazony, an Israeli leader in the global national conservatism movement, to summarize the state of affairs in Israel six months after the October 7 attack. He warns that Israel is under attack on multiple fronts and cannot afford to bend to Biden’s will. He explains how the radical Left’s marriage with Islamic organizations has created a political juggernaut within the Democrat Party. Yoram, who is related to a hostage in Gaza and also has two sons fighting in the IDF, discusses the political sentiments of Israelis on the war when everyone has skin in the game. What can we as Americans learn from Israel’s dire predicament? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The FBI Political Targeting Is More Serious than You Think | Guest: Steve Friend | 4/3/24
First, we start out noting the progress we are making pushing immigration enforcement in red states and how we could do so much more if we only stayed focused. We need big solutions to serious problems. One area of vital importance in which we have yet to succeed in pushing red states into righteousness is interposing against FBI tyranny. We’re joined today by FBI whistleblower Steve Friend to explain his bill, Tennessee SB 2804/HB2912, which would give local sheriffs and police chiefs veto power over which cases their officers can work with the FBI. His bill was shot down, but if we push similar bills elsewhere, we will gain momentum. Friend gives the proper way to push this idea with local Republican officials. Friend himself is now suffering retaliation from the FBI, as the agency pulls his credit records for no reason. We also discuss how millions of liberals who believe our speech and beliefs are criminal are now calling the FBI to get them to investigate protected speech under the First Amendment. We can’t simply wish this problem away, nor can we meme or grift off it. We must push for a robust safety net in local law enforcement to protect civil liberties. Learn more about your ad choices.

The War on Womanhood as the Antecedent to All Societal Ills | 4/2/24
How have we gotten to the point where we are society of nothing but Neanderthals with iPhones? On today’s special show, I identify the war on femininity, womanhood, and motherhood as the source for the breakdown in marriage and fertility rates, which is ultimately responsible for the collapse of our society. It begins with the way we raise our daughters to be just like men in all ways while stifling their femininity, as well as their innate desire for motherhood. The cause of the decline in marriage is not primarily the result of economic policies, because research shows “family-friendly” economic policies have not fixed one iota of this problem. It’s all cultural. As conservatives, we might oppose transgenderism de jure, but are we subtly accepting gender-bending in our own communities and even homes? I explain why the lack of proper rearing of today’s girls is largely responsible for the mental health crisis. At the political level, it will continue to lead to young girls from conservative families leaving the fold. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
It’s Better to Paralyze the House with No Speaker than to Keep Johnson | 4/1/24
Today, I make the case that it’s better to get rid of Speaker Johnson (R-La.) even if that paralyzes the House for the remainder of the year. Johnson has already destroyed our leverage on any issue, so now the only thing he can do is pass bad bills. Unless we pressure Trump to change his mind, Johnson is about to pass a Ukraine funding bill with Trump’s blessing. Where are the MAGA influencers and Tucker speaking out against this? I explain why a second term of Trump will not change anything, precisely because his biggest supporters refuse to use their ties to him to move him to the right. Next, I go through the momentum of the Freedom Caucuses in states like Wyoming to show that if we only focused on state issues and local primaries, we could change the party in one election cycle.

The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate Is Our Only Option to Save Ourselves | 3/29/24
It doesn’t have to be this way. Today, I paint a vivid picture of how a focused movement would pressure red-state governments to employ effective policies and messaging to push back against the federal government on major policies, such as the FBI, illegal immigration, and green energy. If we don’t immediately ramp up state enforcement of illegal immigration, the gangbangers will transform even rural counties. I go through the exact legal and political arguments that must be made in support of state enforcement. Blue states should serve as an early warning system for what red states will deal with tomorrow. I also call upon red states to pre-emptively pass laws refusing to recognize any green cards Biden plans to hand out to the invaders. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Fighting the WHO Pandemic Treaty in the Red States | Guest: Dr. Kat Lindley | 3/28/24
It might seem daunting to avoid the tyrannical grasp of the dystopian biomedical terrorists, but it is in our power to preserve medical freedom in red states. We’re joined today by Texas family physician Dr. Kat Lindley, who is sounding the alarm about the upcoming WHO amendment to the International Health Regulations. In May, the WHO might vote to adopt policies that create “one health,” which will synergize control over our lives – not just for viruses but anything officials deem as a threat to public quality of life. Dr. Lindley is leading the effort in the states to pre-emptively ban such health regulations. We must get active and ensure that red-state and county health departments are not promoting the “one health" agenda, because a lot of them are already doing so. Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s Time We Pressure Republican Judges the Same Way the Left Does | 3/27/24
We can’t unilaterally disarm in the battle of the courts when courts, unfortunately, decide every important political issue. If the Left is going to pressure judges to rule one way, then we need to play hardball with them as well. Today, I delve into yet more hypocrisy from the Trump-appointed Supreme Court justices who eagerly grant standing to the Left and take up their appeals to strike down red-state laws but then deny our appeals or standing to sue Democrat overreach in the political branches. We use the oral arguments in the chemical abortion drug case as a perfect example. I also discuss how we have no strategy to mobilize a successful political movement on a single issue because it’s at odds with the economics of political discourse. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Freedom Caucus vs. the Uniparty | Guest: Adam Morgan | 3/26/24
First, we start off with a brief analysis of the Baltimore bridge collapse and how we all expect it to take years to rebuild because we have become accustomed to regression in society and economy. Next, we delve into the only hope for creating a new party, and that is growing the state Freedom Caucus network. I focus on Wyoming and South Carolina as great examples. Unless we change things, GOP supermajorities will be worthless in checking the federal leviathan. We’re joined by Adam Morgan, chairman of the South Carolina Freedom Caucus, who is now running for Congress against an incumbent. He explains why it is vital that we demand to know whether candidates will join the Freedom Caucus or not. Otherwise, everyone will just run on our issues but will be worthless in Congress or the legislature because they are too scared to fight leadership. Morgan vividly paints a picture of how the Freedom Caucus is creating the much-needed contrast and inspiration in the South Carolina legislature and why people like him in higher office can help use their platform to elevate our guys over the uniparty.

After Omnibus, There Is Zero Backstop Against Biden Tyranny | 3/25/24
Whether it’s the biomedical security state, the invasion, inflation, indoctrination, or the weaponization against political opponents, there is now zero backstop against the Biden administration. I go through the immediate fallout of the omnibus bill and how Speaker Johnson will now push more funding for Ukraine in a stand-alone bill and would be willing to pass it even with a minority of GOP support. This is why it’s better to vacate the chair, even if that means having no speaker for the remainder of the term. Next, I go through a series of new academic papers from the top medical journals showing a shocking level of cancers, neurological damage, and stillbirths from the COVID shots. The world is focused on Princess Kate’s cancer diagnosis, but nobody is willing to ask why so many young people are getting cancer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Stop Sleeping Through Primaries! | 3/22/24
Today, Speaker Johnson politically screwed us in broad daylight by passing the worst bill of all time against the will of a majority of the GOP conference. I go into great detail about how this was our best opportunity to win both politically and on the border. It’s also indefensible how nobody is calling on Trump to use his clout to oppose this stuff. If we don’t focus on down-ballot primaries and making red states red, nothing will matter regardless of what happens in November. I paint a vivid picture as to what will happen even if Trump wins the election unless we build a parallel movement. The best thing we can do is to change state party rules on how primaries are conducted. We have the ability to change red-state GOP members this cycle if we only paid attention.

The War on Whites Is Unsustainable and Needs to Be Confronted | Guest: Jeremy Carl | 3/21/24
On today’s show, we broach the topic conservatives have been avoiding for way too long. There is an undeniable systemic war on white people in every aspect of culture, society, law, and policy. We’re joined by Jeremy Carl, a senior fellow at the Claremont Institute, who has written the definitive book on this topic: "The Unprotected Class: How Anti-White Racism Is Tearing America Apart." He discusses his clarion call to boldly expose and shame every aspect of the anti-white hatred and discrimination, which has now turned into a slow-motion cultural genocide. We discuss the origins and consequences of this concerted effort, particularly as it relates to immigration policy. Carl warns that if we don’t restore true equality, we will suffer a reactionary response and be sandwiched in between warring racial factions. Learn more about your ad choices.

How Kavanaugh & Barrett Are Screwing Texas and What Needs to Be Done | 3/20/24
Today, I unpack the insidious ploy of Justices Kavanaugh and Barrett to get the Fifth Circuit to reverse its stay on the injunction against Texas immigration enforcement. They are trying to ensure states are stripped of the right to self-defense but also want their fingerprints off it. This demonstrates that they are subject to pressure and shame from the Right, which is why it is vital that red states get together and pass legislation to enforce immigration, while telegraphing the message to the courts: “Get off our lawn.” Part of this is how states should assert a public health emergency with illegal aliens coming from countries full of diseases and then point out the legal and political hypocrisy of the courts regarding a state’s public health powers to block travel. I also go through the shocking details of the Johnson budget betrayal, as well as the fact that Johnson keeps winning primaries for the establishment, often with Trump’s help.

The Massacre in the Federal Courts and the Lack of a Breaking Point | 3/19/24
We have a serious problem that demands answers. What do you do when we have a federal judiciary – with GOP appointees – that contorts fundamental rights beyond belief? What do you do when society wrongly views the courts as the sole and final expositor of the Constitution? Today, I go through several cases in the federal courts yesterday. Taken together, it appears that they are prepared to grant a right to invade the country but deny parental rights and First Amendment rights for Americans. The same courts who believed that states could block entry of Americans for public health are suddenly repudiating state police powers. Where is our breaking point? Nobody on the Right seems to have a plan that actually speaks to the severity of what is confronting us. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Conservatives Are Failing Both at the Federal and State Levels | Guest: Sen. Nathan Dahm | 3/18/24
Gangs, terrorists, child rapists, and cannibals, oh my! How hard is it for Republicans to engage in a budget fight over the invasion this week? I go through the central talking points a sane party would harness into a shutdown fight. We are bringing in millions of people from the countries that pose the greatest strategic threat to our neighborhoods. This is how you win back the suburban vote. Yet it’s all about the soap opera and distractions. Don’t think things are much better in red states. We’re joined today by Oklahoma state Senator Nathan Dahm, who is filibustering the state budget because the GOP leaders in the legislature refuse to hold hearings on worthwhile legislation. Dahm, who is a policy innovator with a number of good ideas, laments how his leadership offers more hearings to Democrat bills … in ruby-red Oklahoma! He also explains some of his ideas to rein in the state bureaucracies and to protect the citizens from federal tyranny. Dahm also touts his signature bill to end the practice of anchor babies in red states. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Four Years Later and 2.5 Million Excess Deaths & Disabilities from '15 Days to Flatten the Curve' | Guest: Edward Down | 3/15/24
Today, we mark the grim four-year anniversary of COVID fascism. I offer a holistic view on where we are and assess what has happened to us politically, legally, medically, and economically. We now know that the FDA knew these shots would kill, yet nobody has been held accountable. Chip Roy has a bill to begin holding people accountable. Later on, we are joined by Edward Down, a financial services data expert, who has taken the lead in gathering all of the data on excess deaths and disability to show the devastation of the vaccines. He proves through multiple statistical analyses that there have been 1.1 million excess deaths and 2.4 million excess disabilities associated with the shots that perfectly correlate with both the timing of the vaccine’s release and the mandate later in 2021. Now, we are seeing an explosion of excess cancers both in the U.S. and U.K. May God have mercy on us. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
We’ve Completely Bombed Our Chances of Fighting the Invasion and Political Persecution | Guest: Steve Friend | 3/14/24
We have a movement that loves grifting off the pain of Americans without actually doing anything about it. We all recognize that the invasion and the political persecutions are existential threats to our existence, yet where is the plan of the conservative industry as it pursues influence-peddling on personalities rather than strategic outcomes? I first explain this through the prism of the latest news on the invasion. Then we’re joined by FBI whistleblower Steve Friend to explain how the GOP has utterly failed to deal with the political targeting issue. He has now changed his focus to the red states and has introduced a bill in Tennessee, SB 2804/HB2912, to ban local law enforcement from being deputized into joint terrorism task forces. Steve’s objective is to place the local sheriffs in the driver’s seat so they can decide which information to share with the FBI rather than local officers being sworn to silence against the elected sheriff while working on political targeting under the guise of counterterrorism. If all political stars and whistleblowers would focus on outcomes like Steve rather than on getting a viral moment, we’d actually relieve some of the pain we all claim to experience at the hands of our corrupt government.

An Honest Discussion on Welfare & Entitlements in Context of Debt/Inflation Bomb | Guest; Rep. Bob Good | 3/13/24
We are constantly entreated to accept false choices, and what to do about the budget insanity is no different. No, we are not going to solve inflation by merely cutting woke programs, foreign aid, and illegal immigration. At the same time, it’s morally and politically untenable to dive head first into Social Security and Medicare without first holistically fixing health care and the economy. I explain a “pie the corner” approach to first tackle the most indefensible and politically less popular mandatory and discretionary programs first. We’re joined by Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) who explains how the failure of leadership to tackle the budget in a balanced way has allowed us to miss easy opportunities to start making a dent in the budget insolvency, which leaves us now with false choices. He also discusses the need to fight Biden on his anti-Israel policies, as well as building a bench of more Freedom Caucus members. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Why Is Trump Throwing In with Corporate GOP? | 3/12/24
Increasingly, Trump is going all in for the corporate wing of the GOP. I go through the disturbing pattern of policies and endorsements that indicate Trump’s leftward shift is about a lot more than RINO flattery. He is desperate for cash and is willing to do anything for it. It’s part of the broader problem of how conservatives fight on things in the abstract, such as inflation, invasion, and corporatism, but then when it comes to the tangible fight, they are subversive. The corporate interests are influencing red state primaries and legislation, yet at a time when we need a party leader to fight them, he is joining them. Finally, I tackle the latest news on inflation and how it’s criminal that Republicans can’t engage in a budget battle with political tailwinds on the economy that are as strong as the momentum against the border invasion.

Why States Interpreting the Constitution Is THE Hill to Die On | 3/11/24
In today’s action-packed show, I go to town on Tennessee’s attorney general for declaring its state sovereignty bill unconstitutional. I offer the definitive analysis of why the notions of federal and judicial supremacism of constitutional interpretation are both wrong and harmful to liberty. Also, building off Ecclesiastes 8:11 — that when punishment of evil is not meted out swiftly it encourages that same evil — I explain why Republican hesitancy to fight the border invasion now will have the perverse result of making illegal immigration more popular. Obamacare is a great historical example of this political science phenomenon. Finally, I address the sickening beatdown of a white girl in St. Louis and call for mandatory sentencing on juvenile violent beatings. This is a pervasive problem that needs to be rooted out, yet states have gone soft on juvenile violence for fear of offending black people. This is counterproductive to everyone and will only breed more resentment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The Single Most Important Currency Bill to Reset the Great Reset | Guest: Sen. Kevin Alons | 3/8/24
First, I analyze the SOTU address and show how Biden is crushing Republicans while Katie Britt and Donald Trump embarrassed us. Trump is still pimping the vaccines, which demonstrates the need for some tough love. Next, I present the most important bill of our time – IOWA SF 2108 – which will direct the state to create gold-backed savings and checking accounts where consumers can pay vendors with debit cards in dollars but have the account backed by gold. Its author, Iowa state Sen. Kevin Alons (R), joins us today to explain why this is the most politically and practically feasible way to create a de facto gold standard to rival the feds and change the entire relationship of the people and the state with the federal government. By controlling the currency, we will win every political fight and evacuate ourselves from the financial titanic that the Great Reset has created. Learn more about your ad choices.

Demonic Policies Persisting Within Our Own Red State Dominion | Guest: Joe Davis | 3/7/24
Given that we have an ineffective and distracted industry that sleeps through primaries and policy fights, we continue to see demonic policies persist in red states. I go through examples of egregious left-wing Republicans and policies in places like Wyoming, Oklahoma, and South Dakota. But there is an Indiana child custody case that takes the cake. We’re joined today by Joe Davis, legal counsel at Becket for the Cox family, who had their child removed from them for three years. What was their crime? The Indiana Department of Child Services accused them of abuse for not calling their son, who suffered from mental illness, by a female name! The state of Indiana is actually siding with the agency against Becket as they take the case to the Supreme Court. We discuss the importance of reforming the due process laws in family court and the need to put an end to this demonic policy in red states. Learn more about your ad choices.

Texas Uniparty Gets Destroyed. Let’s Do This More Often | Guest: Wade Miller | 3/6/24
Last night, there were two electoral trends. In the Texas state House races, an unprecedented 17 incumbents were either defeated or drawn into runoffs. On the other hand, elsewhere in Texas and around the country, we saw a pretty generic pro-incumbent result. What gives? We’re joined today by Wade Miller, executive director of Citizens for Renewing America and longtime Texas grassroots activist, who interprets the results for us. He notes that we benefited from a perfect storm of well-placed candidates, the Paxton impeachment, and endorsements from Trump and Abbott on the side of the grassroots that was enough to create a sea change. This could happen elsewhere if we only tried to replicate it. However, in many states, that will require us to push more of a convention model for primaries. Either way, the lesson of Super Tuesday is that we get exactly what we fight for and no more. We will not change the party or the country on its own by being lazy and apathetic or getting drugged by “hopium.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Don’t Celebrate the Supreme Court Just Yet | 3/5/24
In fact, the Colorado ruling is nothing compared to how the non-Thomas/Alito judges are screwing us on issue after issue. I discuss some new cases that fit into a pattern of Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett eagerly taking up left-wing appeals from good lower court rulings while ignoring right-leaning appeals from bad lower court rulings. Be very afraid of the Supreme Court screwing us over on woke issues in red states, as well as state-based enforcement. I make the case for why MAGA should have demanded the speaker affirm in the budget bill the right of states to enforce immigration law. Also, I provide a preview for Super Tuesday primaries to watch for. Unfortunately, Trump has screwed us on so many endorsements but refuses to help us when we need him most, even against never-Trump candidates and even when good incumbents are being targeted by McCarthy.

How Easy It Is to Fight on Border and Inflation, but Conservative Leaders Are MIA | Guest: Joseph Humire | 3/4/24
This is the week we will be sold out on the budget. I explain how east it would be to win a funding fight over inflation and the border, but alas, conservative media couldn’t care less. Later on, we’re joined by Joseph Humire, executive director of the Center for a Secure Free Society and one of the foremost experts on Latin American affairs, who warns that Biden has let in the fastest-growing, most dangerous transnational gang. Humire warns that Tren de Aragua thrives on sex trafficking, retail theft, violence, and delegitimizing of law enforcement. The gang destroyed so many Latin American countries and now is doing the same thing inside the U.S. He gives us a spellbinding presentation on how the Biden administration has imported every element that has taken down Latin America and is now doing the bidding of both the Venezuelan government and the Iranian government. In this respect, Tren de Aragua is worse than MS-13 because it is a conduit for a terrorist government actor. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Trump Is Becoming an Umbrella of Refuge for Every RINO We’re Trying to Defeat | 3/1/24
We talk about the GOP establishment in the abstract, we talk about the border in the abstract, we talk about inflation in the abstract, we talk about FBI weaponization in the abstract, but when the ball is actually in play in real time to affect the ultimate outcomes on those issues in vivid, specific ways, not only are we MIA, but while our own heroes, aka Trump, are scoring touchdowns for the other side, we are cheering them on. Today, I explain how Trump is gratuitously endorsing every RINO we try to defeat because McCarthy and Johnson call in airstrikes. It’s also how Johnson is able to get away with selling us out on the budget and how red-state RINO governors are able to use Trump to avoid pressure to pass good legislation. I have no problem with people voting for Trump, especially against Biden, but I do have a problem with those who refuse to pressure him to the right or at least help fight on the issues and primaries where Trump is harming us. I challenge people like that to explain how they hope to achieve their own stated goals with Trump carpet-bombing any effective way to actualize those stated objectives. Or is this all just one big vanity grift? Also, I give the details of how the House and Senate GOP deviously screwed us yesterday and have now funded the Fourth Reich indefinitely, even as our government has grabbed our very own Steve Baker in a way that would make Putin blush.

The GOP’s Final Sellout to End All Sellouts | Guest: Rep. Chip Roy | 2/29/24
So many conservatives are happy about McConnell retiring and the news about the Supreme Court taking up Trump’s case. I explain why both of those issues are a distraction and will not necessarily end well for us. The real story of the day is the final budget betrayal of the House GOP taking place today. We’re joined by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) who explains that not only are Republicans scared more of a government shutdown than of losing the country, but they downright support more spending and funding for Ukraine. Also, this is the first time when Republicans are not only funding the status quo bad policies but also giving away $70 billion in non-defense spending cuts that they get for free. At the end of the day, the GOP leaders are a reflection of the rank-and-file members, and they are a reflections of the ADHD of conservative media that elevates soap operas and distractions over actually achieving results – both in primaries and policy outcomes.

Making Western States Red and Sovereign Again | Guest: Rep. Phil Lyman | 2/28/24
Today, I explain why we are completely lost at the federal level, with Republicans selling us out at the most critical time when it would be so easy to fight on the immigration issue. Our only hope is to create a Noah’s Ark in red states; however, Western states like Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho are run by leftist Republicans. We’re joined today by Utah state Rep. Phil Lyman, who is running against Gov. Spencer Cox in the upcoming gubernatorial primary. Phil served time in jail 10 years ago for standing up against the federal land-grab in Utah. He is passionate about making Utah sovereign from the federal land-grab, which will never happen under the leadership of Spencer Cox. We also discuss the uniqueness of Utah Republicans and the influence of the Mormon Church on political issues. Phil believes most Republicans in Utah are ready to ditch the Romney worldview and take a more biblical approach to compassion in public policy rather than the liberal pagan approach pushed by some of the liberal voices in the church.

Yes, We Are Being Replaced by Barbarians | 2/27/24
When you juxtapose the sheer volume of foreigners with radically different cultures to the nonexistent birth rate among natives, it is incontrovertibly clear that we are being replaced. Today, I give you numerous data points showing that the great transformation of America is already immutable in large swaths of the country. Also, the violence we are seeing from Venezuela is stemming from prison gangs being imported. Tren de Aragua poses the greatest threat to our streets since MS-13. Finally, I analyze a new report on the shocking percentage of American women who will never get married. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The Shocking Scope of Illegal Alien Crime | 2/26/24
Today, I make the case for why Laken Riley’s murder allegedly by Venezuelan criminal should be our George Floyd moment. This means that we use the budget deadline to push a shutdown of the border and use state deportations. I give the data and messaging that a sane party and movement would use during a shutdown fight to illustrate the pervasive threat of illegal alien crime. I offer data I gathered myself demonstrating how illegal aliens have long punched above their weight in terms of criminality, yet it goes underreported. The frightening thing is that this wave of illegal aliens is qualitatively worse than ever before because so many of them are tied to prison gangs. If conservatives can’t stay focused with such a policy opportunity as we have this week, then we should close up shop. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Even Conservatives Are Confused About What Is a Woman | 2/23/24
Nothing embodies the ailing state of conservatism more than Senator Tuberville (R-Ala.) praising Jenner at CPAC while referring to him as Caitlyn and with female pronouns. I use this absurdity to pick at the broader problem: Conservatives have bought into the “trans-lite” agenda for decades, long before transgender de jure took hold. Conservatives have gone along with gender-bending that has destroyed femininity in this country for years. We wonder why so many young women are radical, confused, and suffering mental illness – even short of full-blown gender dysphoria. However, it’s the result of grooming women to act and be like men in all aspects of life. I identify this war on femininity as the antecedent to most social and family problems we have in Western civilization. It’s not enough just to oppose men in female sports. We need to fight the entire notion of women as “men lite.” This begins in our own families, communities, and churches. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Why the Left Doesn’t Have Its Own CPAC | 2/22/24
Hint: The Left doesn’t need a confab of teenyboppers and useless rhetoric because the Left actually has a campaign, political, policy, and legal movement on the ground in all 50 states working on every issue that matters. This is what we need to replicate rather than useless conferences. Today, I demonstrate what a conservative version of a real CPAC would look like, as we focus on the issues that matter in the way they matter. I explain how I would go about fighting for a government shutdown in the budget bill on key winning issues. I also show how we can use some of the latest news on the vaccines to finally defund them. Also, there is more RINO red-state news to report, sadly, because we have no movement in place to focus on the broad principles we complain about when the strategic leverage points that will affect their outcomes actually present themselves.

The Most Important Primaries of Our Lifetime | Guest: Tim Jones | 2/21/24
The Republican Party in the long run will never serve our agenda. This is why the only movement on the ground to actually force change within the party is the state Freedom Caucus network in the red states. Forget about national politics; Trump himself continues to endorse RINOs down the ballot and refuses to build a ballot harvesting operation to win. It is what it is and is largely out of our hands. But what is in our hands is to expose the RINOs in legislative sessions and then support challengers in the upcoming primaries in states where voters agree with us. As an example, we are joined by Tim Jones, current state director for the Missouri Freedom Caucus and former speaker of the state House, to discuss how the current crop of Republicans are literally Democrats. Just yesterday they voted against preventing illegal aliens from voting. They are also enabling Democrats to take over Missouri through the ballot initiative process. The good news is that Tim's organization has built a bench of candidates in the primary to act as a new party within the party. Let’s stay focused. Learn more about your ad choices.
