False Choices on Foreign Policy: What a True Hawkish View Looks Like Ep. 326 Dec 21, 2018

Show notes

Foreign policy in general and the Middle East in particular are full of false choices. In this episode, Jordan Schachtel joins me to co-host and explain why everyone in DC is wrong about foreign policy. Since nobody is giving a full vision on all aspects of foreign policy and how they tie together, we try to accomplish that in an hour.

Our 2,000 troops in Syria are the least important way to counter Iran and are actually counterproductive. If you really want to counter Iran without risking lives and do it more efficiently in a way that directly addresses the threat to us, you’d attack Iran's finances, make the right alliances, get tough on visas and the border, stop funding the Lebanon army and Baghdad, threaten sanctions and NATO status against Erdogan, and destroy Hezbollah’s operation in our own backyard.

How come the same people who want to bring Sharia Islamists to our country also want to put our boots on their ground to then bring in more immigrants?

This and more in our blockbuster end-of-year Foreign Policy Friday show.

There Are No Leaders on the Right Ep. 325 Dec 21, 2018

Show notes

Today, we see that when there is a modicum of leadership from prominent conservative figures, Trump is actually willing to fight. Where has this leadership been for two years?

I give you the postmortem on the jailbreak bill, an update on the border fight, and some things to watch for with the invasion of the caravan.

Finally, I begin our discussion on how to view the Syria pullout in the context of a greater strategy. The lack of conservative vision and leadership is evident on foreign policy.

Trump’s Multiple “Read My Lips” Moments This Week Ep. 324 Dec 19, 2018

Show notes

Yes, I said “moments.” This week, Trump has relived George H.W. Bush’s fatal “read my lips” moment with regard to several issues: guns, jailbreak, drugs, immigration, and budget.

In this episode, I give you the gory details of all of them and how they all tie together. It's worse than you think. But perhaps some of our people are finally waking up.

My Closing Argument Against Jailbreak Ep. 323 Dec 18, 2018

Show notes

In this show, I conclude my four-year battle against jailbreak with an unvarnished presentation of facts, rational arguments, and an indictment of the people who are pushing it. I cover the issue of crime and incarceration from almost every angle to show how this jailbreak movement is more Orwellian than you even thought. If this is what it means to be a conservative, it’s time to euthanize this phony movement.

I also tie in the latest criminal alien crime data from ICE to show how prevalent the sanctuary cities problem is and how much they are fueling the drug crisis. It is also the 800-poound gorilla in the room in the federal criminal justice system. Yet rather than unifying behind a message to deport criminal aliens, end sanctuary cities, build the wall, and end the magnets and loopholes, most Republicans joined with every single Democrat to advance a bill that will provide early release and reduced sentencing for these very people!

How Conservatives Should View Obamacare Ruling and the Role of the Judiciary Ep. 322 Dec 17, 2018

Show notes

Conservatives were greeted with euphoric political news late Friday when a Texas judge ruled Obamacare is unconstitutional. This is a great potential political victory, but is this the sort of legal outcome we believe in as supporters of constitutional supremacy over judicial supremacy?

This is a complicated question with multiple principles, facts, and outcomes being true at the same time. Judge Reed O’Connor was justified in issuing this ruling based on precedent in the higher courts on rules of standing and severability. However, I don’t agree with these precedents, and I think we need to tighten up the rules on these practices, irrespective of the outcome, because they violate Article III. I go in-depth in this case and explain when judicial review is appropriate and what it means, as distinct from judicial supremacy.

Finally, I update you on jailbreak and how a new CBO score exposes the foundational lie of its proponents.

“The Fools Are All on the Same Side” Ep. 321 Dec 14, 2018

Show notes

In this episode of lamentation, I explain why the Swamp always wins fully on every issue all the time. When the two fake "sides" of fools are always on the same side, it allows them to pretend they are fighting while screwing us on our own talking points. This ensures that they never have to vouch for their real plans and can lie about the bills they are passing.

Through this prism, I give you the latest updates on jailbreak and the budget fight. At some point, we need to rethink how we plan to fight the Swamp, because what we are doing now is not working.

How the Two Parties Are Like One Big Unibrow Ep. 320 Dec 12, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, I give you an insider’s look based on my conversation with law enforcement on what the latest trends are at the border and how our own suicidal policies are causing the worst human and drug smuggling crisis in our history. When our government not only fails to protect us from this dangerous invasion, but actually facilitates it on behalf of the cartels, that is the ultimate government shutdown that should concern us. Yet the most prominent congressional Republicans are already undermining the president in his bid to fight for security. Trump must hold the line on the veto.

What Do Jailbreak and the Farm Bill Have to Do with Each Other? Ep. 319 Dec 11, 2018

Show notes

Well, for one, both these issues are being pushed by crony lobbies.

In this episode, I give you the latest details on the betrayal on both criminal justice and the farm bill. I go through some inside baseball understanding of how legislative tricks work and how jailbreak proponents are using a “revised” bill to pressure opponents to stand down.

Finally, I explain how the farm bill is to agriculture what Obamacare is to health care. The bottom line is that all these policies are being pushed by wealthy interests that stand to benefit from bad government policies.

Why Interior Enforcement Is Even More Important Than Border Assets Ep. 318 Dec 10, 2018

Show notes

Today I discuss how the Supreme Court is allowing lower courts to create new rights to immigrate and to get abortion funding but refusing to defend the Second Amendment. The New Jersey law against law-abiding citizens is insane in light of the state's sanctuary city laws.

Next, were we right to be concerned about Kavanaugh?

Finally, based on conversations with ICE and the DEA, I demonstrate how the entirety of the drug and gang crisis and much of the criminal activity in general in New England is from criminal alien networks that are coddled by magnets, benefits, sanctuary cities, and judicial supremacy. Ending these vices is even more important than border security, because the magnets are the reason for the border problem.

Why Qatar Is the Gutter of the Middle East and Why We Should Care Ep. 317 Dec 07, 2018

Show notes

In this episode of “Foreign Policy Friday” with Jordan Schachtel, we discuss how our entire foreign policy establishment has been bought off by Qatar. What a disgrace to the legacy of Pearl Harbor, as we commemorate the 77th anniversary of the attack.

We also discuss the drug cartels, Hezbollah terror finance on our shores, and the latest war on Israel’s northern border and how that ties into our southern border.
