  • The Subversive GOP Lie of Cutting 'Waste, Fraud, and Abuse' | 11/26/24

    The Subversive GOP Lie of Cutting 'Waste, Fraud, and Abuse' | 11/26/24
    Nov 26 2024
    Nothing embodies the GOP and everything that is wrong with it more than Sen. Joni Ernst’s “budget” proposal she sent to the DOGE. Today, I explain how the very RINOs who created the debt bomb wait until they are on the hook for a primary challenge and then suddenly claim to care about spending. But rather than becoming converts to our cause, they promote subversive ideas that are designed to elicit positive headlines from conservative media and defuse a primary challenge – all the while failing to advance the ball on policy. So I delve into her spending cuts to show how 90% of them are built on lies and subterfuge and the rest are notional, speculative, unactionable, and designed to distract us. Finally, I propose a messaging strategy for Trump to push welfare reform by pairing it with reductions of foreign workers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • A Balanced View of Trump’s Cabinet | 11/25/24

    A Balanced View of Trump’s Cabinet | 11/25/24
    Nov 25 2024
    Now that Trump’s Cabinet is pretty much set, I go through my unique perspective on his individual picks and the direction of his administration in total. I’m very concerned about his picks for Treasury and Labor, mixed together with some of the others who will oversee domestic policy. There are three outcomes of this administration, and I raise concerns that one of them is the creation of a new centrist/lean-left coalition that permanently marginalizes conservatives. My concern is that we get all of the left-wing components of populism but not the right-leaning components. With that said, I’m not as concerned about some of the HHS picks as some of my allies. Although the surgeon general pick is terrible, the more consequential positions will likely be occupied by COVID heroes rather than COVID zeroes. We need to remain vigilant to achieve enduring victories before Democrats come back into power, and right now this can go either way. The realm of outcomes is actually, ironically, perfectly represented in this mixed bag of top government appointees. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • The Future of Fiscal and Social Conservatism | 11/22/24

    The Future of Fiscal and Social Conservatism | 11/22/24
    Nov 22 2024
    On today’s special show, I’m joined by Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, for a wide-ranging discussion on the future of fiscal and social conservatism. Kevin outlines some of the unique opportunities we have to change direction and fuse populist campaign rhetoric with conservative outcomes on budget and inflation. We discuss the need to devolve programs to the states, thereby achieving durable policy victories that will survive a Democrat resurgence. We also discuss the more challenging aspects of social values that are eroding even on the right. Heritage is working on a family policy plan that will cut through the false choices that are presented to women these days. Kevin’s vision is presented in his new book, “Dawn’s Early Light.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • The Election Did Not Change the GOP. We Must Do It | 11/21/24

    The Election Did Not Change the GOP. We Must Do It | 11/21/24
    Nov 21 2024
    Both at the federal and state levels, if we fail to put pressure on the GOP, the same leaders and influencers will continue to subvert our mandate. I begin with federal news by noting that Nancy Mace’s fake fight against transgenderism is actually subversive because she is the source of the problem. Also, I delve into Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's op-ed about “DOGE” and raise some concerns that they are skirting the big spending problems while giving the impression that they are discovering some innovative way to cut inflation simply by making the government more efficient. Next, I go through a list of red-state RINO problems, including the incoming speaker of the Missouri House, Jon Patterson. We’re joined today by Missouri state Rep. Justin Sparks, who is challenging Patterson for the speakership. Sparks warns that Patterson blocked ways to defeat the abortion amendment on the ballot, wants to treat abortion as the law of the land, opposed banning chemical castration, and supported denying organ transplants to those who didn’t get the COVID shots! He warns conservatives to stay engaged in legislative affairs because if they fall asleep, the same bad guys will continue to run the party and the red states into the ground.

  • The RINO Problem Has Not Changed | 11/20/24

    The RINO Problem Has Not Changed | 11/20/24
    Nov 20 2024
    After some uplifting news following the election, I bring you back to reality. Congress still has a massive RINO problem. It’s just that members like Nancy Mace ride our wave of success and ingratiate themselves using the successful fight against transgenderism, even though they continue to believe in the radical feminism and gender-bending that created the problem. Also, I’m very concerned about Dr. Oz being elevated to administrator of CMS. Next, we’re joined by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) who warns that Republicans have not changed their attitude in Congress, and absent outside activists pressuring them, they will return to the same old behavior. In fact, he lists a bunch of bad bills they are already promoting. Chip also lays out the case for massive spending cuts, a cool-off on immigration, welfare and health care reform, and how to utilize leverage points to fulfill the mandate.

    It's Time for Us to Capture the Youth While We Still Can | 11/19/24
    Nov 19 2024
    There are signs that Gen Z is fed up with the Left. But we have not yet educated Gen Zers on affirmative good – the constitutional and biblical values that will rebuild civilization. Today, I broadcast with Rick Green from Patriot Academy’s campus, where we delve into the Patriot Academy program to bring college-age kids down to its mock legislative chamber to go through a simulation of a legislative session. Patriot Academy teaches biblical citizenship in a way nobody else does. Rick and I also delve into knotty issues, such as the cultural rotgut on the right, godless conservatism, and why Republican parents are raising Democrat daughters. It all stems from biblical and civic ignorance. If we don’t plug the gap now, we will not have a red America for the next generation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • The GOP Must Become the Daddy Party | 11/18/24

    The GOP Must Become the Daddy Party | 11/18/24
    Nov 18 2024
    You can win elections on mommy messaging, but you must govern like a daddy. The time has come for Republicans to be honest with the American people. The reason we have inflation is because of the programs people are addicted to. Today, I present a strategy and messaging for Trump to use the veto pen and his bully pulpit as leverage on the few spending bills and reauthorizations of programs that matter. Republicans must lead by example and refuse to spend money on their own pet projects. Next, I delve into immigration. We must stop promoting mommy messaging of “illegal bad, legal good.” Unfortunately, that is the direction many Republicans are headed. Finally, I discuss the need to be the daddy party and categorically oppose the gender-bending of our women. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • How RFK’s Third-Party Run Might Alter History and Is a Lesson Going Forward | 11/15/24

    How RFK’s Third-Party Run Might Alter History and Is a Lesson Going Forward | 11/15/24
    Nov 15 2024
    The nomination of RFK Jr. to HHS is a dream come true for the medical freedom movement. But others in the media are missing the salient point about how we got here. Trump was forced to concede the vaccine issue to RFK because he was willing to follow through with an independent run in a way that would have assured Trump’s loss. Today, I make the point that we need to play the same hardball with RINOs who win primaries and demand a seat at the table. This is coalition government at its finest. I also outline what RFK can do administratively without changing laws. Finally, I warn about what it will take to cut spending and that we don’t need a Manhattan Project to downsize government. We just need to be honest. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
