Fire and brimstone from Chip Roy on border security and health care freedom Ep. 238 Jun 13, 2018

Show notes

Today we are joined by Chip Roy, who demonstrates how a Republican should run for office in this climate. He brings with him his passionate agenda for health care freedom, putting America’s security first in immigration, cutting spending, and fighting for judicial reform and religious liberty. He shows how the “compassion” of liberals for pre-existing conditions is really cruelty to everyone and does nothing but empower a corrupt third-party government-insurance cartel. He also demonstrates how there is nothing compassionate about the amnesty agenda when it is the source of so much mayhem and empowers evildoers on both sides of the border.

Roy promises to be a different type of congressman who will completely reset the baseline of what we fight for and how we message it.

We also discuss religious liberty and how a new Arizona court ruling proves our concerns about the Masterpiece decision to be correct. If we don’t fight legislatively for religious liberty, the foundation of our country will be lost.

We conclude by warning about jailbreak and amnesty, both of which movements expand in strength and grow every day.

Winning skirmishes at SCOTUS but losing the war Ep. 237 Jun 11, 2018

Show notes

The end of this year’s SCOTUS term is heating up, and we are witnessing some defensive victories for conservatives. But that’s all they are: defensive wins on issues that should never even be up at the courts. While we are winning some individual cases, the general trend, thanks to the radical lower courts and passivity of SCOTUS, is moving away from us on election law, immigration, and religious liberty. These are all issues we cannot afford to lose. We must win the war, and that begins with reforming the lower courts.

We also discuss the latest and greatest on immigration and criminal justice and tie the two issues together. The president needs to be tough on crime, drug trafficking, and immigration because the issues all tie together. Yet phony conservatives are leading him astray. We offer a strategy for the president to maximize his campaign agenda, assuming he wants to stick with that agenda.

The drug crisis, criminal aliens, and terrorism being ignored by the political class Ep. 236 Jun 08, 2018

Show notes

Are we bringing in foreign nationals to poison our own people and use the funding for terror financing? You better believe it, according to Derek Maltz (@derekmaltz_sr), former head of the DEA’s Special Operations Division, who joins us today.

Derek draws upon his vast experience in counterterrorism and counter-narcotics to explain how the drug problem is not a health care issue, it’s a national security issue that when coupled with immigration, is completely fixable ... if only the partisan politics stopped hampering their efforts. He explains how most agents are very hard-working and patriotic, but government continues to place barriers preventing agencies from working together to uncover terror-financing networks. That, together with insane immigration problems, political correctness, and mixed signals from the top is why the counter-narcotics effort has not been as successful as it should be. If we properly integrate counter-narcotics with counterterrorism, border security, interior immigration enforcement, and local anti-crime policies, we will be safer from crime, drugs, and terrorism.

Moving Trump in the right direction on security and the economy Ep. 235 Jun 06, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, we cover everything from recent primaries to jailbreak, immigration, and the economy. We look at all the issues through the prism of Trump’s good instincts and the opportunity to do good, but how, because we don’t have a real conservative movement, the president drifts. Often it is conservative groups leading him astray.

Our main discussion today is why despite the job market boom, GDP growth is still mediocre. We use an analogy of a topped-off tree to explain how our economy can have good periods of job growth despite the venture socialism, but ultimately our growth is permanently capped thanks to the debt, dependency, market distortions, and misallocation of resources.

After Masterpiece Cakeshop, the problem with the courts is worse than you think Ep. 234 Jun 04, 2018

Show notes

On today’s show, we are joined by our old co-host, CR social media director Joe Koss, to discuss how the Masterpiece court decision is nothing to celebrate beyond its very limited scope. Joe studied natural law at a Catholic law school and talks about how far we have deviated from natural law that we now celebrate minor hiccups that very temporally and partially slow down the inexorable rush to judicial Sodom & Gomorrah.

When we look at other cases in the courts and the full context of this case, it’s clear we are losing religious liberty and that the courts are the problem, not the solution.

An interview with the only conservative to beat an incumbent Ep. 233 May 31, 2018

Show notes

We are joined today by Mark Harris for a special episode of “meet the candidates.” Harris, a Baptist pastor, did what nobody else could do this year – he defeated an incumbent establishment Republican in North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District.

Harris discusses how he assembled the team and raised enough money to do the impossible. He also explains his agenda and how he plans to stay grounded in his district and not get sucked into the establishment swamp.

We also chat about the failings of the professional social conservative movement in combatting the assault on our values as well as the judicial supremacy that is making North Carolina irrelevant as a sovereign state. There is a moral crisis even among the professional religious groups, and it all gets back to money.

The immorality of the political class on crime and borders Ep. 232 May 29, 2018

Show notes

Today, we continue blowing up the myths about crime that serve as the foundation for the jailbreak movement. We talk about how the courts are granting criminals more rights that never existed before, which contributes to an under-incarceration problem, not an over-incarceration problem. There is a crisis of morality on this issue as well as on immigration that continues to confuse even some of my colleagues in this business.

Trump’s opportunity for a Reagan moment with China and North Korea? Ep. 231 May 25, 2018

Show notes

Trump has been outsmarting Kim Jong Un in North Korea at every turn. In this episode of “Foreign Policy Friday,” we are joined again by CR’s national security correspondent, Jordan Schachtel, to discuss Trump’s triumph over North Korea and how it is a perfect illustration of peace through strength. Using the right tools to deter threats is the best way to avoid war and to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Trump’s moves on Iran have clearly shaken Kim Jong Un to his core. We also discuss strategy moving forward and how to pressure China by using more aggressive tactics even while showing a willingness to hold the summit.

Wouldn’t it be great if Trump were to negotiate with Congress the way he does North Korea?

We also discuss the Pentagon’s insane plans to sell Turkey some F-35s before we’ve even used them here at home. Jordan shows how this is another example of an out-of-control military-industrial complex that doesn’t serve us well. Israel’s military has made better use of them because they don’t have the same problems with waste.

Finally, why are we sending soldiers to die in Yemen and Somalia and then second-guessing them over “civilian casualties?”

Memorial Day should be a time for our policy-makers to reflect on how to put America first and best honor the spirit of sacrifice in our soldiers so that it doesn’t go to waste.

“Our goal is peace. We can gain that peace by strengthening our alliances, by speaking candidly of the dangers before us, by assuring potential adversaries of our seriousness, by actively pursuing every chance of honest and fruitful negotiation.”

“The willingness of some to give their lives so that others might live never fails to evoke in us a sense of wonder and mystery.” –Ronald Reagan, 1982, Memorial Day, Arlington National Cemetery

“It is to the spirit of those men, exhibited in all our wars, to the spirit that places the devotion to freedom and truth above the devotion to life, that the nation pays its ever enduring mark of reverence and respect.

It is not that principle that leads to conflict but to tranquility. It is not that principle which is the cause of war but the only foundation for an enduring peace. There can be no peace with the forces of evil. Peace comes only through the establishment of the supremacy of the forces of good. That way lies only through sacrifice.” –Calvin Coolidge, 1923, Memorial Day, Northampton, Massachusetts

Steve King on the pro-criminal obsession in Congress Ep. 230 May 24, 2018

Show notes

Congressman Steve King and I seem to be the last rule-of-law conservatives standing, so we meet today to lament the state of play in the conservative movement. Steve updates us on the backwards priorities of so many who call themselves conservative. Everyone supports the Willie Horton agenda now. Everyone is supporting some form of amnesty. Steve reminds us why conservatives once stood for tough-on-crime policies and why those values should still apply today. The notion that you save money with jailbreak policies defies logic and learned experience. He also explains how the attention of members in Congress, even the good ones, is so divided that they often lack the intellectual fortitude or resources to fight back.

Finally, we delve into the courts and how they are destroying our civilization, yet none of these so-called social conservative groups who were so passionately promoting jailbreak are willing to stand for true social values.

Why we always lose Ep. 229 May 22, 2018

Show notes

Why do we lose? Why is it that on issue after issue, the policy movement is headed leftward, even on issues we were winning just one generation ago? Well, evidently, we can’t go one day without our own people scoring points for the other side on the most critical issues of our time.

In this episode, we delve into the House vote on a terrible Willie Horton jailbreak bill that undermines every principle Trump ever espoused on crime. We have the entirety of the fake conservative movement behind it. We explain how these groups are only effective when it comes to pushing issues on which they overlap with Soros, not when they supposedly oppose the Left’s agenda.
