A country George Washington would not recognize Ep. 193

As we celebrate George Washington’s birthday this week (no, not all presidents), we examine the news of the day through the prism of his legacy and how he would not recognize the republic that he fought so hard to establish. In today’s show, we delve into the actual meaning of politics and public policy and distinguish what is and what is not a political issue. With that in mind, we discuss not just the mass murder in Florida, but rising crime in general and the desire of both parties to loosen criminal justice laws. We close with an update on immigration and how the courts have rendered the victory over legislative amnesty moot. George Washington feared an all-powerful executive, but he never imagined that the worst usurpations would come from what was supposed to be the weakest branch of government. Key quotes “His was the directing spirit without which there would have been no independence, no Union, no Constitution, and no Republic. His ways were the ways of truth. He built for eternity. His influence grows. His stature increases with the increasing years. In wisdom of action, in purity of character, he stands alone. We can not yet estimate him. We can only indicate our reverence for him and thank the Divine Providence which sent him to serve and inspire his fellow men.” ~President Calvin Coolidge, remarks celebrating Washington’s birthday in 1927 Show links Calvin Coolidge’s tribute to George Washington 10 quotes that prove Washington would not recognize the country today Senate Committee passes bill to release firearms felons…but gun control!

A Bill of Rights for the forgotten taxpayer and consumer Ep. 192

It’s time for us, as a movement, to take things to the next level or suffer a slow and humiliating political death. In this episode of "The Conservative Conscience," we update you on all of the issues on which conservatives are being beaten down. There is simply no counter-narrative on the Right. It’s time for a new Contract with America that revolves around protecting taxpayers and consumers and that speaks to the hearts of many voters, conservatives and non-conservatives. And it’s time to get the candidates to sign on to it. We go through the lessons of the 1994 effort, how to build on it, and what issues and principles should be established.

Rep. Jim Jordan on the GOP's political adultery Ep. 191

Is there anyone left in Washington who will stand for the forgotten men and women of this country who don’t have a special interest representing them? One man, Rep. Jim Jordan, has been very vocal over the weekend, telling it like it is about the act of political adultery committed by GOP leaders. Jordan joins us to discuss how leadership reneged on their promises and why this particular betrayal came at a time when Republicans could have secured a major victory with Democrats on the run. He reminds us that despite excuses about not having 60 votes in the Senate, Democrats are the ones who don’t have 60 votes … or the House and White House. So why do they get everything they want, every time? We close by revealing why this budget betrayal is the nail in the coffin to fiscal solvency and will condemn us to a Greece-style meltdown within a decade. Watch for the big amnesty debate in the coming days. Let’s not get distracted by the nonsense in the news that other conservative media use to distract from where they can really make an impact.

While everyone is distracted, the GOP sells us out on issue after issue Ep. 190

Not only is the GOP-controlled Congress screwing us on every issue, it is doubling down on the very policies in each issue portfolio that caused the problem to begin with. Both parties should change their symbol to that of a firefighter engaging in arson. Republicans are screwing us on immigration. You won’t believe McConnell’s new tactic of introducing a blank bill. It is the perfect metaphor for a leader of a party who has no convictions. We delve into a host of health care betrayals and give a vision for free-market health care that so many conservatives are failing to provide. Republicans are agreeing to expand the very programs that gave the insurance cartel a monopoly to gouge us. Next, we tackle the budget betrayal, which is worse than you think. Which brings us to a long discussion about Pentagon spending and the crisis of innovation to rethink our strategic vision in the world and how it will solve the budget problem, in which Democrats hold military spending hostage for increased non-defense spending. Key quotes: “The cruel irony of the GOP abolishing the Budget Control Act is that they are now undoing, with control of all three branches, what they accomplished with just one branch. Then again, they are Republicans, and perfidy is the main plank of their platform.” "If you are a non-illegal alien U.S. citizen who doesn’t want a handout, just a fair chance in a free market, you don’t exist — to either party."

The important consequences being missed from the FBI scandal Ep. 189

In this episode, we explore the revelations in the Nunes memo and the broader cover-up of the Hillary email-scandal – not so much from a focus on the technical details but from the standpoint of the constitutional crisis that is confronting us. We now have progressives in all areas of government, but particularly in the unelected courts and bureaucracies, who are willing to breach all legal firewalls in order to achieve their political goals. The ends now justify the means. They openly thwart immigration law, maintain sanctuary cities, and set up autonomous “fourth branch” agencies seeking to operate outside constitutional charter. It would be bad enough to adopt an “ends justify the means” mindset, but the people who are doing so are simultaneously seeking to inoculate themselves from all constitutional checks on their ill-gotten power.

Rep. Ron DeSantis on the SOTU and policy innovation Ep. 188

To review the SOTU and the opportunities with which the president’s successful address presents to conservatives, we are joined by Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., one of the brightest policy innovators in Congress. We delve into ways to take even the less conservative policy ideas of the president and turn them into winning ideas, if only we had leadership willing to fulfill their campaign promises. DeSantis describes some of his bills and ideas for Congress to have a successful legislative year. He brings up the point that Republicans could so easily put Democrats into an awkward position by forcing a vote on making the tax cuts permanent. Later in the show, we broach a number of other political matters including the budget and ways to reform the filibuster. Finally, DeSantis discusses his run for governor of Florida and how he intends to make state governments great again with conservative policy leadership.

What Trump and the GOP need is consistency Ep. 187

In this episode of "The Conservative Conscience," we discuss some of the news of the week through the prism of the GOP’s lack of consistency. On immigration, Republicans have a chance to go on offense and keep up the momentum from the Schumer Shutdown, yet they are going backward. We continue the theme from last week on why Trump’s strategy on immigration is wrong. If Trump’s strategy was to show how radical Democrats are on amnesty, then now is the time to walk away. We also detail how chain migration is killing our immigration system and creating a permanent Democrat majority. Next, we discuss how the inconsistency of the GOP on the life issue exposes the fact that Republicans only champion pro-life initiatives when they know it will not result in a meaningful change. The minute they have a chance to actually change the game, they drop the issue like a hot potato. Finally, we discuss the government covering up the failure and lack of strategy in Afghanistan and how this is hurting our ability to get our budget priorities straight, not to mention care for the lives of our soldiers.

Why Trump’s amnesty is bad policy, bad politics, and bad strategy Ep. 186

It takes a lot more than a vapid soundbite to understand the policy and politics surrounding immigration. This is why we dedicate a full hour to all of the angles the commentary class are missing about Trump’s amnesty proposal and his broader messaging and how it betrays every promise he made in spectacular fashion. The key in politics is to understand the political atmosphere, the context, where something is coming from, and where it is headed.

Growing economy and rise of the alt-left give the GOP one more chance to lead Ep. 185

The convergence of so much positive economic news with the tax cuts, the Schumer shutdown flop, and the unraveling of the Russia scandal has given Republicans a second chance to plow forward with a winning agenda. In this episode, we lay out an agenda for McConnell and the Republicans. They can press their advantage on immigration in many ways. They can move back to repeal of Obamacare by learning the lessons of the successful tax bill. They can make the tax cuts permanent. They can unite behind rooting out the corruption at the FBI with the newly released evidence of systemic rot at its highest levels. They can finally end the dumpster fire in Afghanistan and use the savings to build up base defense rather than agreeing to spend more on non-defense in order to build up the military. Finally, we discuss how the alt-left takeover of all western institutions, including the military, has created a dynamic where people in charge of important institutions are willing to break all norms, laws, and trust in order to advance their agenda. We discuss the military brass in the context of their disregard for facts on the ground in Afghanistan and Syria and how they couldn’t care less about the lives of the troops. Congress must reassert itself, and there is actually a bipartisan opportunity to change things. There are so many important things to accomplish. The GOP will likely never get a second chance before the midterm elections to demonstrate leadership on these and many other issues.

The one job illegals do that Americans won't do Ep.184

When will we have a party that cares about the citizenry as much as Democrats care about illegal aliens? In this episode, we go through the facts and myths of a government shutdown. We also show the enormity that an entire political party is willing to pull out all the stops for illegal aliens. We delve into some background on immigration to show how Republicans are failing to make the strongest arguments against this assault on American sovereignty by using some of Schumer’s own quotes from the past. There are some important lessons we can learn from immigration battles and chicanery of the past. We also discuss the 45th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. What does that have to do with a government shutdown and illegal immigration? Tune in and you will learn everything you need to know about the asymmetrical warfare between the two parties.

Meet the Candidates: Chip Roy in TX-21 Ep. 183

In this episode, we kick off our series of “meet the candidates,” where we introduce you to those running for office who are willing to challenge the existing paradigm in both parties. Our first candidate is Chip Roy (@chiproytx), former chief of staff to Sen. Ted Cruz and all-around conservative warrior. He is running for the open seat in TX-21, spanning from parts of Austin and San Antonio. We don’t just discuss the typical issues, but delve into the inner workings of how a conservative warrior can go to Washington and actually implement his promises. Chip has some unique and thoughtful ideas that most candidates don’t typically articulate. Between not caring about re-election, using a smart inside-outside game to give voice to the forgotten man and the forgotten issues, and a focus on systemically reforming the role of Congress relative to the other branches, Chip is ready to hit the ground running.

Let’s not turn America into a “s---hole” Ep. 182

The political class is deliriously and sanctimoniously virtue-signaling against Trump’s alleged comments about immigrants from s---hole countries. In this episode, we demonstrate how both liberal and “conservative” pundits have no sense of context or historical background about our immigration system. It doesn’t matter so much where people come from, but our current immigration system is turning America into a s---hole for the rest of the world. Also, while origin doesn’t inherently matter, it’s undeniable that our entire immigration system has become insanely weighted towards the third world. We delve into all the census data — from crimes rates, education, and English proficiency to poverty and welfare use — and it’s quite evident that under a true merit system, we would have more immigrants from Europe and South Asia than from other places. This is not to say we can’t have any immigrants from those other countries, but it is unfair to America to import such large numbers from impoverished countries over such a short period of time, especially when they don’t assimilate. Key quotes: In a letter to an immigrant friend in 1813, then President Madison made it clear that they would always warmly welcome immigrants “who are attached to our Country by its natural and political advantages.” He was emphatic about his views that mass immigration as an end to itself beyond those with particular skills was not to be encouraged. “I am obliged, at the same time, to say, as you will doubtless learn from others, that it is not either the provision of our laws or the practice of the Government to give any encouragement to emigrants, unless it be in cases where they may bring with them some special addition to our stock of arts or articles of culture.” ~From page 127 of "Stolen Sovereignty" “The citizens of America preferred this country, because it is to be preferred; the like principle he wished might be held by every man who came from Europe to reside here; but there was at least some grounds to fear the contrary; their sensations, impregnated with prejudices of education, acquired under monarchical and aristocratical Governments, may deprive them of that zest for pure republicanism, which is necessary in order to taste its beneficence with that gratitude which we feel on the occasion.” ~Theodore Sedgewick, 1790 Show links “Abstract immigrants”: Thomas Sowell makes fun of elites on immigration 22% of US, 45% of California speak foreign language at home Demographic info on immigrants 5 shocking trends on immigration New report shows no vetting of 2.37 million illegals released by ICE Learn more about your ad choices.

Illegal alien supremacism + judicial supremacism is our 'fall of Rome' Ep. 181

Americans don’t matter in the debate on immigration. In this episode, we show how the mixture of illegal alien supremacism and judicial supremacism is a kill shot on our sovereignty, security, society, and system of governance. We cannot recover as a nation, much less a republic, if these two issues are not immediately addressed. We discuss the latest inside information on immigration and analyze the good and the bad of the good-faith proposal on immigration put forth by Rep. Bob Goodlatte. You won’t want to miss it.

Lots of good news happening if we can overlook the distractions Ep. 180

We could talk about Steve Bannon and Oprah all day … or we can discuss the issues that matter. In this episode, we delve into all the good economic, security, and immigration news that Republicans could actually run on and promise to advance further, if only they were willing to punch through the fake news cycle and endless soap opera. Unfortunately, they are out to lunch. Whether it's ending aid for terrorist countries, stopping amnesty programs, or opening up the entire outer continental shelf to drilling, there is a lot of positive change taking place. But if a policy tree falls in a forest of soap operas, who knows? We also discuss the good news on health care everyone is ignoring and that Republicans are doing a lousy job of selling. The executive orders on health care will open up an opportunity to collapse Obamacare from within and foster a true competitive market for at least some portions of health care. We also announce the future of our “meet the candidates” segment we plan to inaugurate here so that you can be informed about the best choices for the midterm elections.

Smashing failed paradigms, ideas, and premises Ep. 179

Trump’s polling is going up, and not surprisingly, it coincides with a solid few months of Trump pursuing and championing conservative policies. If Trump would actually stay on message and not get distracted, he can turn around the impending doom of the midterms. In this episode of "The Conservative Conscience," we discuss how Trump is smashing failed paradigms of policy assumptions and how he can do even better to introduce fresh ideas. But that would require him to ignore some of the soap opera around him and stay on message. We give you updates on some of the latest happenings in immigration and the courts that you won’t hear about in the vacuous media. We conclude by offering an example of a failed paradigm that has become a holy grail of the political elites – counting illegal aliens in the Census. The administration has given some indications that it is open to changing this disgusting practice of stolen sovereignty. We give the full political, philosophical, and constitutional case for doing so.

How regime change in Iran could recover our failed foreign policy Ep. 178

Have we reached the Jenga Point of foreign policy? In this first episode of 2018, we frame the new year by beginning with foreign policy. President Trump can remake our national security and promote peace for the world by supporting regime change in Iran without making any of the painful investments we’ve expended in other failed conflicts. We bring on CR’s national security correspondent, Jordan Schachtel (@JordanSchachtel), to discuss what is going on in Iran and what Trump should do next. We delve into the broader Middle East chessboard and how this “intervention” would be different from other failed choices made by past leaders. At the end of the show, we contrast the use of soft power to overthrow the mullahs with the use of heavy military intervention in Afghanistan to show what is a prudent intervention and what is a counterintuitive one.

Importing hate into our country: A national emergency Ep. 177

On this sleepy holiday weekend, there were more attempted terror attacks perpetrated by beneficiaries of chain migration from the Middle East. What is it going to take for it to become fashionable among the political elites to terminate these suicidal immigration policies? In this episode of "The Conservative Conscience," we delve into the convoluted and corrupt values of those who want to import huge numbers of immigrants from parts of the world where they hate Jews and hate our American values. Where is the sympathy, love, tolerance, and compassion in bringing in those who are intolerant of others, particularly of Jews? We discuss the dynamic in Sweden, where Jews can no longer practice their faith openly because of the Islamic invasion supported by the political elites. Yet, liberals in America, including liberal Jewish groups, are working overtime to bring the same dynamic here. Finally, we delve into some of the latest "stolen sovereignty" court rulings hampering Trump’s most basic efforts to keep the nation safe, and how, absent judicial reform, we are doomed as a nation.

Tax cuts: Does winning only the last game of season matter? Ep. 176

Tax cuts and some other relatively good news makes this a surprisingly better end to 2017 than many of us expected. However, as we note throughout the show, the victories are fleeting and akin to the Cleveland Browns winning the last two games of the season after losing the first 14 games. At the same time, it doesn’t mean nothing good can come from such belated winning, or the lessons to be learned from it. In this episode, we discuss the advantages of the tax bill along with repeal of the individual mandate of Obamacare. We also celebrate how we dodged a bullet and succeeded in blocking amnesty and the insurance bailout from the budget bill. No, we didn’t throw any touchdowns, but with this political franchise, not tossing interceptions is a victory. The prophet of lamentations has some good news for once!

The best tax reform plan you've ever heard Ep. 175

Despite the passage of what appears to be a significant tax cut, the tax system is worse off than ever, the plan is still unpopular, and most people don’t even realize they are getting a tax cut. This is the problem with direct federal taxation built upon the insufferable progressive scheme. Isn’t it time for truly innovative tax reform ideas? In this episode, we are joined by Tom Ryan (@TomDRyan), the author of The Neutral Tax plan, a proposal that is the ultimate fair, flat, and simple tax. It would devolve all tax collection to the states, and the feds would come in at the back end with a flat tax on the state’s revenue. He answers all our questions on how it would work, why it is superior to anything proposed thus far, and how it will make state governments great again.

The GOP betrayal on guns and why we can’t have nice things Ep. 173

In this special episode of the Conservative Conscience, we are joined by a special patriot, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), to discuss the latest GOP betrayal. This time it’s guns. We can’t have nice things because even the few issues where there is official consensus to do the right thing, Republicans will contaminate the good parts, add in bad provisions, and sabotage our messaging so that Democrats get what they want. Then they will use outside allies to lie about what they did and deceive members on the details of the policy and process. We delve into the subterfuge used by GOP leadership to manipulate a popular right-to-carry bill as a means of passing more gun control. The establishment gun lobbies have ensured that good legislation never passes and continue to support bad legislation, despite their reputation as defenders of the Second Amendment. This episode is a must listen for those who are looking to understand the games behind the scenes in Congress.

Wealth Redistribution and “Bake the Darn Cake” are all about Violating Property Rights Ep. 172

We begin the show discussing the significance of Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s rightful capitol. This isn’t just a good decision on foreign policy, it demonstrates that Trump is willing to smash failed paradigms and fight the swamp to do so. Now he just he needs to get rid of his bad cabinet picks who are undermining him on this and other issues. Next, we announce the candidacy of conservative hero, Chip Roy, Ted Cruz’s first chief of staff, who is now running for House in Texas’s 21st district. Finally, we juxtapose the insanity of the left on taxes and health care to their view on coercing someone to service a gay wedding with their private property. Both problems stem from a lack of understanding of basic property rights. Cultural Marxism is built off economic Marxism. The lack of regard for property rights stems from stolen sovereignty. We have the legal profession mixing up federal, state, and individual sovereignty. And the courts are the biggest threat to our individual and national sovereignty.

A Guide to the Perplexed about the Tax Bill Ep. 171

So, what is in the final tax bill? Will you see a significant tax cut? In this episode, we go through the common myths about the tax bill and update the listeners on the latest changes to the bill. On net, it looks like they fixed the initial problems so that almost everyone will get a real tax cut. Is this the ideal bill that truly restructures our system and ends the progressive code? Of course not. We game out a couple of better proposals that would fundamentally change the system for the better or how to make this tax cut more meaningful. Key quotes The amount to be contributed by each citizen will in a degree be at his own option, and can be regulated by an attention to his resources. ... It is a signal advantage of taxes on articles of consumption that they contain in their own nature a security against excess. ... If duties are too high, they lessen the consumption; the collection is eluded; and the product to the treasury is not so great as when they are confined within proper and moderate bounds. This forms a complete barrier against any material oppression of the citizens by taxes of this class, and is itself a natural limitation of the power of imposing them. Impositions of this kind usually fall under the denomination of indirect taxes, and must for a long time constitute the chief part of the revenue raised in this country. Those of the direct kind, which principally relate to land and buildings, may admit of a rule of apportionment. ~ Alexander Hamilton, Federalist #21, making the case against direct federal taxation Show links The coming budget betrayal Blowing up major myths on the tax bill Tax Foundation chart: Most people don’t pay a lot in federal income taxes It’s time for an American “DACA” from criminal aliens Learn more about your ad choices.

How Common Sense and the Forgotten Man are Dead to our Political System Ep. 170

Why is it that our politicians, media elites, and cultural institutions have lost their minds and hearts? They have lost any modicum of common sense and have ignored the forgotten man in favor of special interests. They have been enabled by an incessant media cycle that focuses people’s attention on the wrong issues and information. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we re-establish the purpose of this show and tie it into the news cycle. Except… the news we discuss will probably not be the news you hear. There are so many stories on the military, the courts, national security, health care, and immigration that are missed by both the liberal and conservative media.

Conservatives are Political Orphans in End of Year Legislative Fights Ep. 169

In today’s show, we give a preview for all the upcoming end-of-year legislative battles, from taxes and spending to immigration and health care. We begin by discussing the perverse priorities of Congress on sexual harassment. Rather than censuring the perpetrators and passing legislation to end the private taxpayer-funded slush funds for settlements, they are hiding behind phony PC “anti-discrimination/anti-harassment training.” Next, we tackle the misplaced priorities of Congress on immigration. There’s a crisis going on with criminal alien gangs, yet rather than addressing enforcement, they want amnesty, which is the cause of this very violence we are facing. Finally, we address the tax bill. Although the bill has gotten much better, watch out for this being a trap to get conservatives to support amnesty and an insurance bailout.

The One War Nobody Wants to Discuss: Our Own Border Ep. 168

We are busy fixing (or not fixing) every failed state on the planet, yet we refuse to use every tool of statecraft to deal with the failed state on our own border: Mexico. This week we saw another tragedy as a result of the instability on our southern border, as a border agent was brutally murdered by illegal aliens operating on our shores. To dissect the real problems at our border on both sides of the Rio Grande, we are joined by Brandon Darby, editor of Breitbart Texas, and one of the leading experts on drug cartels and the border problems. Brandon walks us through the complicated diplomatic, security, and cultural problems on both sides of the border that, unless properly addressed, will make much of the remaining debate over the border moot. The political class, which just wants votes and cheap labor, are not only selling out Americans, they are perpetuating the misery for the average Mexican. Under the current dynamic, everyone loses.

Steve Deace likes to call us the prophets of lamentation. Well, if you are in the mood of hearing the ultimate book of lamentations, this show is the one for you. There is something big happening in our country and culture that is beyond any conventional fix. We must think broader and outside the box.

My Thoughts on Roy Moore, Pursuit of Truth, and the Outlook Beyond Ep. 166

In this special episode of the Conservative Conscience, we give the long view of what happened in Alabama and where things are headed. The important thing now is to just get the truth and put all politics aside. At the same time, there are so many lessons we can take out from what is going on in our culture and body politic – that until and unless there is a successful reform movement to change the way our political system is working, we are headed for a death spiral between two entrenched sides and false dichotomies. Everyone is fighting over what to do about a potentially lost Senate seat, but the reality is the entire institution of the Senate is lost. What is our answer moving forward? Irrespective of the outcome in Alabama, there is something so much bigger happening in our culture. “love truth and peace.” Zachariah 8:19 Learn more about your ad choices.

The VA Elections and the Vicious Cycle of Political Failure with Two Corrupt Parties Ep 165

When will conservatives stop dying on the sword of a party that sullies our brand by laying claim to it but ultimately does the exact opposite? In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we digest the true long-term meaning of the GOP defeat in Virginia. This is a long-term problem whereby conservatives are going to incur all of the liabilities of both the GOP and Trump’s persona but none of the benefits of Trump’s intuition. We go through a number of quiet examples of how this administration is lurching far to the left and so many Trump appointees are antithetical to his stated agenda. Until we start a new problem, this dynamic will never end.

The Incredibly Dumb GOP Tax Plan Ep.164

Are you a tax policy nerd? You’ll love this episode. Even if you’re not into tax policy, we break down the clutter and show what others are missing about the GOP tax plan. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we bring out the broad outcome and the individual details of the GOP plan to demonstrate why the GOP is called the “stupid party.” The GOP is incurring all the worst political liabilities of a tax cut plan and getting none of the policy benefits. Worse, most middle-income taxpayers will wind up paying more in taxes in the long run. Meanwhile, these same families are getting hosed with $2,100 premiums, yet the GOP won’t repeal Obamacare. We delve into how the GOP dealt with deductions in the worst possible way while failing to bring down rates enough to shield people from paying more. There are also stealth tax increases built into this plan. In total, it is not worth the paper it’s printed on.

Why you should care about the judicial war on North Carolina Ep. 163

The Fourth Circuit has literally taken over control of the state of North Carolina. This is happening around the country and nobody is paying attention. Lower federal courts are denuding state legislature of basic powers over their own internal affairs. The biggest danger is now coming from the courts mandating that legislative maps be drawn in a way that is most advantageous to Democrats. The only thing worse than a legislative gerrymander is a judicial gerrymander. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we are joined by North Carolina’s LT. Governor, Dan Forest. He discusses his lonely battle against judicial tyranny and how North Carolina is the canary in the coal mine for what the left will do to other states.

When You Import the Middle East…You Get the Middle East Ep. 162

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled jihadists yearning to slit our throats. This is essentially our motto as a self-immolating nation. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we discuss how the front line in this war is not in Raqqa, Tikrit, Kabul, or Mogadishu; it’s in communities such as Patterson, Brooklyn, NY, & Minneapolis. We have let in immigrants from places we should have never accepted and are doing so in record numbers. We discuss what a sane country would do to rectify the situation and how things will get worse if we don’t wake up. Key quote “The citizens of America preferred this country, because it is to be preferred; the like principle he wished might be held by every man who came from Europe to reside here; but there was at least some grounds to fear the contrary; their sensations, impregnated with prejudices of education, acquired under monarchical and aristocratical Governments, may deprive them of that zest for pure republicanism, which is necessary in order to taste its beneficence with that gratitude which we feel on the occasion.” Theodore Sedgewick, 1790 Show notes Are we taking in radical islamists that even Muslim Countries Don’t Want Andy McCarthy on importing Sharia supremacism Muslim immigration fastest growing 1.8 million green cards issued to Muslim countries since 9/11 End the diversity visa lottery now Muslim imam on why it makes no sense to bring in new Muslim immigrants before assimilating Learn more about your ad choices.

No Manafort or pedophiles: What you won’t hear in the news this week. Ep. 161

The news of the week is all about Boehner’s interview, Manafort’s indictment, and the pedophile Kevin Spacey. Meanwhile, all conservative media is missing the most important stories of the week. Which is why we are here… In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we discuss how the courts continue to dismantle the fabric of our society and the values of our Constitution by nullifying election law, mandating transgenderism in the military, and ripping down war memorials. Rather than fight back against it, the administration is obsequiously giving in to the courts and even appealing the one good ruling conservatives got from the judiciary on a labor regulation.

Strangers in Our Own Land: Illegals Rule, Americans Drool Ep.160

In this action-packed episode of inside information, Daniel goes through how Congress is focusing on more illegal aliens and guest workers from the third world at a time when Americans need help with their communities overrun by the ill-effects of criminal aliens. Yet, the courts are criminalizing immigration enforcement and granting more and more privileges to illegals. A land turned upside down. Illegal aliens are the most powerful constituency in this country. Almost every corporation, lobbyist, legal foundation, court, and politician has prioritized their demands at the expense of America’s basic rights. We go through recent court cases, new legislation being proposed and rejected, and some failed promises of the Trump administration on immigration to demonstrate why it’s time for a movement that speaks for the forgotten American.

The Real Scandal for Families of Those Killed in Action Ep. 159

What does our foreign policy and military escapades have to do with the ethanol mandate? We continue failed, harmful policies just because the powers behind them are able to self-perpetuate. In this action-packed episode of the Conservative Conscience, we cut through the hot air and distraction over the Trump-media war fighting over which president offered better condolence calls to families of fallen heroes. The real question we should all be asking is how to change policies so that we don’t have so many fallen heroes who die because our civilian and military leadership continue doubling down on the wrong engagements with no strategic objectives. We discuss the need for a complete operational audit of the 140 countries we are involved in so that we can better identify our strategic objectives. Much of our failed policies overseas stems from the same problems as failed domestic policies. We deviate from the constitutional method of having the whole of the people through Congress decide the issue and instead allow special interests to perpetuate failure. Finally, we close with an update on Republicans screwing consumers with the ethanol mandate and how they have squandered an amazing opportunity to stand with the free market, the Constitution, and show how liberals are the ones tied to crony special interests.

A Week of Unimaginable Judicial Hell Destroying What’s Left of America Ep. 158

In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we speak the truth about the severity of the judicial crisis, how it happened, what is happening now that makes this issue an emergency, why it won’t be fixed with traditional methods, how conservative legal elites have screwed us, and what we can do about it. We begin by addressing almost a dozen mind-boggling decisions by the courts recently and how they are shutting down our country and nobody is talking about it. Next, we address the stratagem and philosophy behind what they are doing and how it will succeed no matter how many new judges Trump appoints. Finally, we conclude with a lesson on the difference between judicial review and judicial supremacy, how “conservative” legal activists are part of the problem and misunderstand this lesson, and what we can do to educate people and change course. Key quotes: “If god gave me one political wish, it would be to end the constitutional crisis with judicial supremacy.” “This regulation [judicial review] is far from throwing any disparagement upon the legislative authority of the United States. It does not confer upon the judicial department a power superiour, in its general nature, to that of the legislature; but it confers upon it, in particular instances, and for particular purposes, the power of declaring and enforcing the superiour power of the constitution—the supreme law of the land.” ~ James Wilson, Lectures on Law, Chapter XI, 1791.

Obama’s 3rd Term: Iraq is the Obamacare of Foreign Policy Ep 157

We kick off this busy week by first discussing why Trump is not really remaking the judiciary, despite some reporting to the contrary. While all his picks have been solid, the courts are so irremediably broken that we need full judicial reform. We go through the latest example of judicial tyranny with sanctuary cities to demonstrate why no Republican president will be able to win over the current judiciary as it is conceived. However, the most pressing issue is that Iraq has become our Obamacare for foreign policy. We are doubling down on supporting the Iranian-backed government in Baghdad, even though they are now beheading Kurds in Kirkuk. For today’s show, we bring on Jordan Schachtel, CR’s national security correspondent, to discuss the insanely backwards strategy of supporting foe over friend in the Middle East.

The Two Parties are Closer Together than You Think Ep. 156

You might have thought there is not a dime’s worth of difference between the two major political parties. You were wrong. There’s not a penny’s worth of difference. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we go through the budget, criminal justice, and executive staffing decisions to show how Republicans walk the ball into the end-zone for the other side on issue after issue. The people tasked with leading the opposition are the very essence of the problem on those very issues they oversee. Trump is appointing people who support the other side to lead issue portfolios that are so critical to conservatives. What about the Iran deal? As we explain, even if Trump decertifies the deal, it’s unlikely he will pull out and his broader foreign policy, along with the personnel placed in charge, are continuing Obama’s policies towards Iran.

A Capitulation on Guns? Dems Say Jump, GOP asks How High Ep. 155

Republicans could use the general disquiet in the country about rising crime, mass shootings, terrorism, and sanctuary cities to promote a conservative agenda on guns, immigration, and criminal justice. Instead they cede the field to Democrats and allow them to define the narrative. They operate solely in the world Democrats present to them. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we discuss how Democrats get Republicans to turn the winning issue of guns into a loser. We delve through the disturbing history of the NRA pretending to be strong on guns but actually undermining our efforts to pass pro-gun legislation. The tragic irony is that there are many tragedies on the immigration and criminal justice front that do indeed have redressable public policy angles, yet Republicans won’t use them to promote a conservative agenda. Later in the show, we go through some new developments in criminal justice and early release for violent criminals. Yet, not only are Republicans not using the issue of rising crime to fight these new ideas, they are joining with the left in pushing jailbreak. Maybe we should just let all the criminals out of jail and put the guns in jail. Show links Jared Kushner pushing jailbreak Crime on the rise.

Why I am Throwing the Red Flag on Gorsuch Ep. 154

This administration and political party is a complete dumpster fire. They are screwing us on Iran, Afghanistan, and broader foreign policy priorities. And nobody is giving voice to what’s important to conservatives on domestic policy either. But the one saving grace was…Neil Gorsuch! Except, Gorsuch, as we predicted, is now screwing us on immigration by accepting the core views of the left on judicial review and due process as it relates to deportations. As we explain in great detail, he is violating national sovereignty with his views on immigration and the role of the courts. While this was only at the oral arguments stage, when coupled with Gorsuch’s past writings on the issue, it’s time to toss a red flag on Gorsuch. Immigration is the most important issue in the courts now and we can’t afford to have him be the fifth vote for judicial amnesty.

Pelosi: We Win all the Fights without Winning Elections

It’s been almost a year since the great election victory and almost 10 months since Trump was sworn into office. Yet Nancy Pelosi declared that although Democrats lost the election, they have won all the policy fights. For once, she is actually speaking truth. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we delve into why Democrats always win the policy fights. It’s mainly because Republicans adopt their premise on any given issue and only operate within the confines of the Left’s worldview. The entire GOP tax plan is built off the Democrat premise on governance and fairness. We go through the details of the tax plan and how this will be another GOP interception instead of an opportunity to score a touchdown. We also explore how the courts are codifying the left-wing world view, even when Republicans control the elected branches. With the Supreme Court convening for its October session and with the lower courts continuing to win victories for the left on culture and immigration, it’s as if the election never happened. Without wholesale judicial reform, Democrats will always win even when they lose.

America Has Become a Dumping Ground for the World Ep. 151

America has become “a dumping ground for the rest of the world.” So said Donald Trump during the campaign. He was right then, but now he is being slow to follow up on his promises to end this phenomenon. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we discuss the severity of our lax immigration policies. Between endless refugees, asylees, and illegal aliens disappearing into our communities or being let go by sanctuary cities and sanctuary courts, America has become a dumping ground. While we still have some meritorious immigrants, we have too many public charges or criminals that are allowed to remain in the country. We delve into the deal to take in Australia’s rejected refugees and how it betrays everything Trump campaigned on. We also discuss the revised travel ban and how it is woefully inadequate.

Just Let the Existing Crony Health System Burn Ep.150

Let it burn! In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we untangle the latest GOP health care bill for those who are perplexed. There is a way conservatives can secure a positive outcome from this bill, but for very different reasons than those intended by the GOP establishment. Far from fixing the insurance market, this bill will continue the current trajectory and prices will continue to go up while competition will not be able to materialize. But at this point, given that the individual mandate will be repealed and we can evacuate from this system, that might be a good thing! The result might be better than fixing insurance; it might lead to a chain of events that solve the actual health care problem. In this show, we review the core drivers behind health care inflation and how repealing the individual mandate could open an avenue to use the negative energy from Obamacare against this third-payer system and revitalize direct primary care. This is the discussion the politicians refuse to have, but once we are evacuated from the mandate, the market forces can force this reality.

230 Years Later, We No Longer have Government by Consent of the Citizenry Ep. 149

As we celebrate the 230th anniversary of the Constitution, we are confronted with the jarring reality that are representative republic has disappeared. We live in a judicial autocracy. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we delve into the stolen sovereignty of the American voter at the hands of the unelected courts and how they have breached the constitutional firewall of separation of powers. In a republic, the power must be derived from the people, but in the contemporary practice of our politics, all power resides in the courts or unelected bureaucracies. Then the elected officials also disenfranchise us by lying to get elected and then doing the exact opposite when in office. Trump was elected to reverse this trend but in many respects, he is the ultimate force for disenfranchisement. He feeds us political morphine on twitter while sitting idly when his liberal administration nullifies his campaign promises. We explore the latest news on immigration, the runaway courts, and how judicial amnesty is the greatest threat to consent-based citizenship. Meanwhile, Trump is bailing out the establishment in Alabama from an impending defeat. We count a number of other ways Trump is hurting, not helping, our effort to shake up Washington. Key Quotes We may define a republic to be, or at least may bestow that name on, a government which derives all its powers directly or indirectly from the great body of the people, and is administered by persons holding their offices during pleasure, for a limited period, or during good behavior. It is ESSENTIAL to such a government that it be derived from the great body of the society, not from an inconsiderable proportion, or a favored class of it; otherwise a handful of tyrannical nobles, exercising their oppressions by a delegation of their powers, might aspire to the rank of republicans, and claim for their government the honorable title of republic. - James Madison, Federalist #39 Show links My Constitution Day manifesto Trump called Sessions an “idiot” Trump’s priority focus is now amnesty Trump’s amnesty will give Democrats permanent majority How the people have been cut out from foreign policy, in contravention to the Constitution Learn more about your ad choices.

Democrats Now Control All Three Branches of Government Ep. 148

Ryan and McConnell handed control of Congress to the Democrats a long time ago. But that is no excuse for Trump to hand over the presidential veto pen and the executive personnel and policies to the Democrats as well. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we explore all the current issues – from the pursuit of amnesty and budget betrayals to our backwards foreign policy – to demonstrate how Republicans are operating solely within the confines of the Democrat premise on every single issue. The Democrat wish is their command. Now with Schumer and Pelosi playing footsies with Trump, conservatives are completely cut out. We face a greater threat of losing the immigration issue than ever before thanks to Trump getting conservatives to support amnesty. This is why it is insane for the conservative media to give Trump a pass and not pressure him to change his ways.

16 Years After 9/11, the Time has Come to Slay Political Correctness Ep. 147

9/11 is certainly a time to reflect on the sacrifice of the victims of the greatest terror attack on our soil. But it is also a time, particularly after 16 years of policy failures, to reflect on the root public policy narrative of 9/11: the fundamental job of the federal government and the failures to properly execute it. At its core, the job of the government is to protect the security and interests of the American people first – before any other interest, irrespective of where the truth of those policies takes us. Sadly, the same political correctness that led to 9/11 is still in place, and even worse in some ways. The best way to honor the legacy of Flight 93 and other heroes of 9/11, from a public policy standpoint, is to ensure that the government does everything it can not just to prevent another 9/11 from occurring but to always place the security of the American people above all else. In this special episode of the Conservative Conscience, we bring in Jordan Schachtel, CR’s national security correspondent, to survey the lay of the land 16 years later. We go through our immigration system, domestic Islamic subversion and backwards foreign policy and military strategy that has left us more vulnerable now than before 9/11. It is all rooted in the fact that our politicians no longer represent our interests. They place political correctness and personal relationships above all else.

Orwell could not have written a plot or narrative with a greater degree of perfidy at its core. Between the relentless attack on our culture, sovereignty, security, and society from the courts and Trump now becoming a Democrat, conservatives have no voice in Washington or anywhere in power. We go through the budget betrayal, the significance of the debt ceiling, and the depth of perfidy on perverted priorities regarding immigration.

Today Trump Became a Never Trumper and Elected Schumer President Ep 145

We have a bipolar presidency that has ensured Trump is the PINO- president in name only. Three minutes after he says one thing in order to fulfil a campaign promise, he follows up by saying or doing the opposite. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we discuss the late breaking budget betrayal whereby Trump has given Pelosi everything Democrats wanted – and then some. He has given them the debt ceiling, every budget priority, and most insidiously, is tying it to Harvey relief funding. There is more acrimony than ever before in politics, yet the two parties agree on everything when it counts. Trump was elected to change the culture of capitulation, yet he has doubled down on it. We are now incurring the lowest common denominator of the liabilities from both Trump and the GOP congressional leaders. This was evident as well with the immigration announcement and the multiple positions Trump took to undermine our messaging.

The Politicians Just Don’t Care about Us: The Clamor to Pander to Illegal Alien Mafia Ep 144

What you are seeing this week with the clamor by both parties to pander to illegal aliens is the most profound violation of the most foundational tenet of the social compact. The job of government officials is to protect the American people from open borders and the ill effects of illegals, not to focus on illegals first and only. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, you will hear the side of the debate over the so-called “dream” amnesty that you will never get from the political class. What about the ill effects of illegal immigration on Americans and the urgency to address their needs before those of illegal aliens? Not only is it the moral thing to do, it is the sacred responsibility of any elected official, deeply rooted in the social contract. The political class seems to have forgotten the lessons from California and Arizona and the destruction wrought on this country by illegal aliens. Not only is amnesty not the job of our government, it is the source of the incentives that continue to break our borders.

Cultural Marxism, Judicial Civil Disobedience, False Dichotomies and How we Can Break Out of It Ep 143

The reason the left is so successful is because they hijack every cultural institution within western democracies and use their incumbent power to engage in civil disobedience by delegitimizing laws, traditions, and common sense policy ideas. The use their stewardship and control over the failed status quo to threaten instability in order to perpetuate the most insane ideas and block common sense morality. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we lay it all on the line – going through immigration, Obamacare, foreign policy, and the courts to show how the left and the fake DC conservative elites have successfully paralyzed any opposition and what we can do about it. They speak to the morality of their immorality and are willing to do and say anything to enshrine their agenda immutably. We need to learn from their conviction and speak to the morality of our ideas and be willing to follow through with them unflinchingly.
