RNC Spokesperson Liz Harrington: “This is the last great stand for freedom” Aug 25, 2020

Show notes

Today I spoke with Liz Harrington, the spokesperson for the Republican National Convention, about the incredible speeches given at the convention and how the powerful, hopeful story of real Americans who have benefited from the promise of America contrasts with the dark, tear-down-everything agenda of the Democrats. We talked about the inspiring speeches by Sen. Tim Scott, Hershel Walker, Vernon Jordan, Maximo Alvarez and Natalie Harp. Liz gives us a preview of tonight’s convention and leaves us with her message of hope.

WEEK IN REVIEW: Bannon arrest, Guns & Biden/Kamala, DNC convention & blaming America, SCOTUS, Flynn Aug 21, 2020

Show notes

This has been such a weird and unexpected year! Given the 2020 presidential election where Americans have a real choice between a leftist Biden/Harris administration and a liberty-loving, tyranny-hating Trump administration, we were guaranteed to have an active year. Then the Chinese Communist Party Virus hit a stunned and unprepared world; the lockdowns became commonplace; and the Left began rioting and destroying. I have spent the month of August reflecting on the bigger themes of this remarkable year. Next week I will bring you some special interviews around the Republican National Convention!

WEEK IN REVIEW: Kamala & Guns, Crazy Mask, Israel/UAE, Durham, Flynn, MSM Watch, SCOTUS and Shapiro Aug 14, 2020

Show notes

I've got a lot of things in the news to cover for this week: the predictable Biden choice for VP, Kamala Harris and gun control, Biden's nutty mask mandate and wearing masks on Zoom alone in your house (??!), the historic Israel-UAE agreement, update on Durham investigation, update on the Gen. Michael Flynn case, MSM Watch and how they slip in lies in news stories, male-only draft may to go to the Supreme Court, and a very funny mashup video going viral with Ben Shapiro taking on a famous rapper who has been blinded to reality by only listening to mainstream media. Also--why culture is so influential on politics; those who make songs are more influential than those who make laws.

WEEK IN REVIEW: NRA, 2nd Amendment, Flynn case, Sally Yates, Chief Justice Roberts, Biden Aug 07, 2020

Show notes

Summer is for the beach, and we all need some time to reflect on the crazy year we have experienced. Also, we need to store up energy for the fall election season.

Justice Delayed AGAIN for General Michael Flynn Jul 31, 2020

Show notes

General Michael Flynn today is still a man with his liberty in jeopardy. There are few events more stressful in life than being a criminal defendant with the full force and resources of the government arrayed against you, especially the federal Department of Justice. But in this case, it is no longer the federal prosecutors holding Michael Flynn’s liberty at bay; it is a federal judge and a complicit federal appellate court. Yesterday, instead of releasing Michael Flynn from criminal jeopardy and allowing him to try to create a peaceful life with his family and friends, the appellate court overseeing his case granted Judge Emmet Sullivan’s motion for a full hearing by the entire appellate court. This ruling makes a mockery of the rule of law and of Michael Flynn’s individual rights. We should all be paying close attention to this latest development.

The Obama and Disappointing Bush Support for Biden Jul 30, 2020

Show notes

“Democrats rule and Republicans drool.” That is the level of political discourse offered by Democrats today. President Obama linked up with Hollywood, Internet, and tech celebrities to raise vast amounts of money to support Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden. What are Republicans leaders doing to match this dollar haul by Obama? They are also working to elect Joe Biden! The last living former Republican President, George W. Bush, has not lifted a pinkie finger to help reelect Donald Trump. No fundraisers. No supportive tweets. No favorable interviews. And worse still, former staffers launched a group to raise money for the election of Joe Biden! I have two reflections about Obama and Bush support for Joe Biden to share with you today.

We Don’t Deserve Bill Barr Jul 29, 2020

Show notes

Trump Derangement Syndrome was on full display at the House Judiciary Committee hearing yesterday, Tuesday, July 28, 2020. Attorney General Bill Barr was the picture of calm and control as the Democrats threw futile temper tantrums and embarrassed themselves. Because these childish House Democrats could not put President Donald Trump in the hot seat, they did the next best thing by yelling at Attorney General Barr and not letting him respond to their ridiculous and partisan howling. We don’t deserve Bill Barr. Let me tell you why.

Mugged by Reality: Rioting in Seattle Jul 28, 2020

Show notes

What happens when you are a “liberal mugged by reality”? You might just want to go buy a gun and demand government action against liberal rioting! That’s what happened to ESPN Radio Host Paul Gallant. Paul directed President Donald Trump to “Chill Dawg,” when President Trump tweeted about the malfeasance of Seattle’s mayor. Paul tweeted that he did not see any burning, pillaging, or deaths in his town. Then reality mugged Paul a month later when he returned home to find a destroyed Starbucks under his apartment, and cops warned him that it might be filled with explosives. He became angry, fled with his cat, and publicly expressed that he feels the need to purchase a firearm. Better late than never, right?

Nevada favors Casinos over Churches; Discriminates against Right of Free Exercise of Religion Jul 27, 2020

Show notes

Governors across the country are using the COVID-19 pandemic to grab power. Their power grabs reveal a lot about each governor. These governors act like they now have a carte blanche to disregard our Constitution. Take, for example, Nevada. The governor of Nevada, Steve Sisolak, issued a directive that allowed bars, casinos, and gyms to host crowds of up to 50% of their maximum building capacity, but at the same time, capped houses of worship at 50 people. The governor cited “public health” and “economic reasons” for the religious discrimination, restricting Nevadan’s constitutional rights. Calvary Chapel in Nevada wants to host 90 worshippers, half of their capacity, but not the thousands of people that a gigantic casino could lawfully host under the state directive. Calvary Chapel sued for their right to worship safely, following all the CDC guidelines and then adding additional precautions themselves. The US Supreme Court shockingly just allowed this discrimination to continue, refusing to issue a temporary injunction against the state’s discrimination against religion. As Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in his short and powerful dissent, “In Nevada, it seems to be better to be in entertainment than in religion.” Here is another case of the Court refusing to take swift action to uphold a core constitutional right, our freedom of religion. As Justice Gorsuch wrote, “But there is no world in which the Constitution permits Nevada to favor Caesars Palace over Calvary Chapel.” MENTIONED: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf/19a1070_08l1.pdf CALVARY CHAPEL DAYTON VALLEY v. STEVE SISOLAK, GOVERNOR OF NEVADA "The Constitution guarantees the free exercise of religion. It says nothing about the freedom to play craps or black-jack, to feed tokens into a slot machine, or to engage in any other game of chance. But the Governor of Nevada apparently has different priorities." "We have a duty to defend the Constitution, and even a public health emergency does not absolve us of that responsibility."
