A Vision for Dealing with China and North Korea Ep 137 Aug 10, 2017

Show notes

No, Mr. President, the 60-vote threshold did not prevent you from supporting conservatives in Alabama, from firing McMaster, from ending the Iran deal, from getting rid of DACA, or from signing bad budgets and debt ceilings. Trump doesn’t need to get rid of the filibuster to stop taking in the refugees or to reject Australia’s refugee deal. The point is there is so much the president can do unilaterally to match his rhetoric and campaign promises with actions, but sometimes he is just his own worst enemy.

In this action-packed episode of the Conservative Conscience, we discuss everything from the Alabama Senate race and McMaster to Trump continuing Obama’s multiple amnesty programs. On issue after issue, Trump can accomplish so much if he just hired personnel that shared his campaign vision.

Finally, we discuss a vision for dealing with North Korea and how it fits into our broader foreign policy and military mistakes. We have wasted so much time, money, hardware, lives, deterrent, and political capital by getting involved in endless sinkholes refereeing Islamic civil wars in the Middle East. This has hurt our deterrent and resolve to use our military for when it is needed most – to combat or deter conventional threats from nation states like China, North Korea, and Iran when they directly threaten our interests. The Islamic Jihad issue (minus Iran) is mainly an immigration, intelligence, counter-terrorism, and values problem, not a military problem. The military needs to be re-oriented to deal with military threats. Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan do not qualify. Further involvement there just hurts our deterrent against China and North Korea, which we will have to confront sooner or later.

The Alabama Senate Race is the First Opportunity for a True Revolution Ep 136 Aug 08, 2017

Show notes

In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we first tackle the importance of firing H.R. McMaster and how Trump is his own worst enemy when it comes to personnel and order in the White House. We also delve into the opportunity we have for a new vision on immigration and health care but how it’s being squandered either by Trump’s distractions or by the rotten Republican leadership.

Finally, we discuss the race of the decade that is right on our doorstep – the Alabama Senate race. Will conservatives take yes for an answer? The stars appear to be aligning for Judge Roy Moore, but conservatives must prepare for a massive smear operation in the runoff. If we can pull this off, it will represent the closest thing to starting a new party. This is a man who is actually everything in practice what we tout in rhetoric.

The solution that will solve health care crisis overnight Ep 135 Aug 03, 2017

Show notes

Solutions, solutions, solutions! The fight for freedom in health care doesn’t have to end with failure to repeal Obamacare. We are joined by Rep. Jim Butler (R-OH), a one-man think tank on health care, who shares with us some of the reforms to health care (not just insurance) he is pushing for in Ohio – reforms that can be replicated on a federal level.

Why should insurance companies and hospitals, which are propped up by every tool of government, be allowed to price fix and not have to send their charges to individuals before a service is rendered? This reform alone would apply market forces to health care and solve much of the problem. The hospital cartel is fighting his law in court because they know it will end the scam of using taxpayer funds to price fix consumers out of the market. They want to continue the venture socialist racket of using the statutory, regulatory, subsidy benefits from the government in order to box out competition and consumer demand.

Why Stephen Miller is Right And Jim Acosta is Wrong on our Immigration History Ep 134 Aug 03, 2017

Show notes

The media and the political cartel are lying to you about our true history, traditions, values, laws, and priorities on immigration.

In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we explore our true history of immigration based on my book, Stolen Sovereignty. The left has it exactly backwards. We have NEVER done what we are doing today on immigration. Quite the contrary, what Stephen Miller and Tom Cotton are proposing on immigration is exactly how both parties felt about the issue until recently. We recount the full history of our immigration system and establish a list of principles that can guide us today.

We also address the dustup between White House aide Stephen Miller and CNN’s Jim Acosta over the history and meaning of the Emma Lazarus’s poem on the Statue of Liberty. It’s purpose was the exact opposite of what the left uses it for and the laws and traditions in place at the time it was affixed to the Statue of Liberty are living proof.

It’s Time to Form a Real American Political Party Ep 133 Jul 31, 2017

Show notes

Anyone who doesn’t see the need for a new party by now is either not paying attention to the most basic facts on the ground or is not in this field for the right reasons. Now it’s time to explore a path to starting a new party, a party that will not only serve as a home for the conservative base but one that can even convert the growing numbers of disenchanted Democrat voters. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we begin plotting such a course.

Also, what happens when conservatives actually focus on what’s important and demand action from Trump on our priorities? He actually listens. After we called for him to cut off the bailout for the insurance cartel and for Congress, Trump has immediately turned his focus to that endeavor. Now conservatives must follow through and make sure Trump and those around him actually enact our plan.

Finally, we lament the missed opportunity to argue true holistic health care reform from a position of strength. Ultimately, we need a new party because we can never place in the hearts and minds of people who fundamentally don’t share our values the ability to articulate our views.

Cutting Out the Insurance Cartel and Going Straight to Care Ep 132 Jul 28, 2017

Show notes

Where is the Uber and Amazon of medical care?

Well, on this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we are joined by Dr. Kevin Smith, co-founder of the Oklahoma Surgery Center, the closest thing to Uber within the medical profession. In a very engaging and wide ranging discussion, the type of health care discussion we are missing in Washington, Dr. Smith shares his secret to reducing costs and improving quality of care. By cutting out the administrative costs, the burdens, and regulations of the price-fixing insurance cartel and government programs, he has been able to reduce the cost of surgeries to as little as 10-50% of the entire cost of services elsewhere.

The free market, cutting out the middle man, and circumventing government intervention have a funny way of bringing down costs and spurring innovation. Dr. Smith offers top-notch medical care at below the charge of the universally repudiated Medicaid reimbursement rate. Debunking the lies of the insurance/hospital cartel about the impossibility of presenting readable medical prices to the consumer, Dr. Smith has revolutionized price transparency in the medical profession. And his prices are the same as they were 9 years ago…yet his business is thriving and patients are loving it. He’s also leading a movement to help others in the profession replicate his model and foster competition. Who loses? The cartel and big government folks.

Dr. Smith also breaks down the hospital-cartel scam and how they use preferential treatment from government to rip off the consumer, stifle competition and innovation, and run-up the cost of taxpayer-funded programs.

If every health care provider operated like the Oklahoma Surgery Center and all health insurance operated like health sharing ministries, we would solve the health care problem in America overnight, end the debt crisis, and rediscover a new generation of innovation and life-saving care.

The Big Health Care Myth: The True Cost of Health Care and Who Distorted it Ep 131 Jul 24, 2017

Show notes

In today’s special episode of the Conservative Conscience, we discuss the one element missing from this endless health care debate…health care.

A special guest, Dr. Kevin Wacasey, a successful health care provider who has written two books on the economics of health care, joins us to cut through the clutter of the Obamacare debate and identify the root cause of health care inflation on the supply side. He demonstrates how it’s not the cost of health care that is outrageous, but the charges for health care. The source of that problem? The government and the insurance cartel, which is propped up by government. Were we to get third-party payer out of our system, prices would come down dramatically. The root of the government/cartel success in distorting our market and conflating health care with medical insurance is their publicly-funded myth that health care is inherently expensive without their product. In fact, it is expensive only because of their product, which is sponsored by government regulations, subsidies, and mandates.

Dr. Wacasey believes that Americans are being hurt by the role that the health insurance industry plays in maintaining our restrictive, reactive, and overpriced health care system. He wants to change health care by changing the way you think about health care, because you – as patients – have the greatest impact on what needs to be done. He offers our listeners advice on how to shop around for health care, even in this very limited market system.

How we can solve health care once and for all and break the insurance cartel Ep 130 Jul 20, 2017

Show notes

When will our politicians finally discuss health care in the debate over…health care? How much longer will our future health care be held hostage to the crony insurance cartel and government?

In this special episode of the Conservative Conscience, we let it all out on the line and present a way to repeal Obamacare without actually repealing the law but by rendering it moot. Through price transparency reform and cost sharing associations, we not only solve the Obamacare problem, but the entire health care problem that predated the ACA. These reforms are so much easier to message and will actually make the entire industry function like a real market. Most importantly, it will cut out the need for third parties and government and their ability to destroy and distort the health care market. Let’s move beyond the semantics of repealing Obamacare, which is not happening anyway and actually pursue these foundational reforms that will restore the consumer as king and make Obamacare non-existent.

How Can we Fight if Conservative Media Fails to Inform? Ep 129 Jul 17, 2017

Show notes

In what seems like a quiet beginning of the work week, there is actually a lot going on. Republicans in Congress and this administration are betraying conservatives on an array of issues, yet the conservative media is bankrupt and refuses to even focus on what’s important. By not informing conservative voters about these betrayals, the conservative media shields Republicans from the requisite pressure needed to affect the policy outcomes they all claim to support.

We start off the show giving a vision of how to get around the Obamacare impasse by cutting out the insurance/government complex and going straight to health CARE itself. Time to cut out the middle man and reduce the cost of health care on the supply side by putting the consumer back in the driver’s seat. Let the government and the big insurance lobbyists eat crow.

Next, we discuss a series of policy betrayals from Republicans in Congress – from promoting transgenderism and global warming in the military to allowing illegal aliens to seek government jobs.

Finally, we focus on some of the latest policy betrayals in this administration: from certifying the Iran deal to bringing in more low skilled workers.

When will the conservative media wake up and actually do their job? The Republican Party will never change unless Republican voters demand it. But they will never demand such change if they are not made aware of what is going on in Washington.

What Conservatives and Trump Can Learn from Tennis Ep 128 Jul 13, 2017

Show notes

In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we dissect why it’s not only immoral for conservatives to continue focusing on defending every dumb thing Republicans do (simply because the Democrats are “worse”), but also strategically dumb. If we want to get Russia out of the news, the Trump administration and the conservative movement must focus on numerous policy issues that will place the media on defense and change the narrative to where we want the plays to go rather than going to where they are leading us.

We explore some of the details on the Russia scandal and demonstrate why it’s better to focus on what we actually can defend and advocate for on key policy issues than very murky and troubling relationships. Plus, focusing on solid conservative accomplishments is the best way to get Russia out of the headlines anyway. We end with some quick updates on health care and immigration.
