Down-Ballot Republicans Have Not Changed Since Trump’s Election | 2/12/25

So many of us have been inspired by Trump’s executive orders, but unfortunately most of them will not last, because Republicans have not changed who they are. I explain why Trump needs to push back against judicial supremacism and demand a better budget reconciliation bill in Congress in order for him to stick the landing on his agenda. Sadly, Republicans have not changed even in deep-red states. We’re joined today by Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma state superintendent of public instruction, who is trying to challenge the idea of flooding our schools with illegal aliens. He discusses how Republicans are fighting him stridently because they support illegal aliens. We also discuss the problems of blue-city education budgets, foreigners dominating our universities, and the need to keep anything not oriented toward improving skills out of our schools.

The Definitive Case Against Judicial Supremacy | 2/11/25

Unless we terminate the erroneous notion of judicial supremacism, we will be left with tyranny, and Trump and red states will be powerless to change anything. In today’s extra-long episode, I offer the definitive history, legal case, and philosophical argument against judicial supremacism and in favor of constitutional decompartmentalization. I explain the system our founders adopted and rejected, the true lesson of Marbury v. Madison, and the difference between judicial review and judicial supremacism. There is no such thing as a judicial veto on a law and policy, and the other branches have an even greater obligation and power to push back against bad rulings that affect broad political questions. I explain how Trump can "walk before running" and slowly inch away from judicial supremacism in cases where judges try to mandate affirmative executive actions on issues that are clearly out of their jurisdiction.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In Politics, We Get What We Fight For | 2/10/25

There is a ton of focus on Trump’s White House, which is why we are getting a lot of good policies. However, there is less focus on Trump’s interaction with Congress and primary endorsements. Hence, we get a lot less. Today, I raise some concerns about progress on immigration enforcement and spending cuts. While Trump has signaled a good direction on a lot of policies, many of them are not resulting in full outcomes — either because of the courts or a lack of follow-through. I explain what needs to be done on immigration to get the deportation numbers up and what Trump must do on budget reconciliation. Also, inflation is getting worse, and now we have fewer buyers of U.S. treasuries.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How Republicans Handed Texas to Democrats | 2/7/25

It’s worse than you think. Republicans won a huge mandate in Texas, yet a group of RINOs worked with Democrats to hand control of the legislature to Democrats. We’re joined by Rep. Brian Harrison (R), one of the few conservatives willing to fight corrupt leaders, for an in-depth discussion on how decent conservatives get co-opted by the very leadership empowering Democrats. In a wide-ranging discussion, we take you inside these legislative chambers to understand the tactics and psychology devious GOP leaders use to literally empower Democrats, block conservative priorities, and at the same time maintain an image as conservatives. Unless we find a way to distinguish our jerseys, we will continue to flush red states down the toilet. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It’s Either Use It or Lose It on Immigration Enforcement | 2/6/25

We begin by discussing the need for Trump to get better on endorsements and also set a direction for Congress to include his executive orders in budget reconciliation. This is the only way to secure enduring victories. Nowhere is this more evident than with immigration. Today, I explain why we have one chance to finally end illegal immigration and why, if we don’t fully utilize street-level enforcement, deterrent, and de-magnetization, the uniparty will claim we are not capable of solving the issue ever again. There are some concerns about the commitment to this objective, both among some in the administration and in red states. I’m also concerned about the mission at the border and whether we will treat it like a military operation. Finally, I offer some thoughts on Trump clarifying his plan for Gaza.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Winning Combo: Coupling Trump’s Big Picture with an Ideological Guardrail | 2/5/25

Everyone is trying to make sense of Trump’s latest statements on taking over Gaza. Today, I build a thesis about Trump that is instructive in directing our focus for the next four years. Trump is great at thinking outside the box on big-picture goals. However, because he is not ideological, he is often prone to accepting deals, regardless of the exact details, just to show that his trolling worked. In fact, this often overextends him and forces him to feel pressured into taking deals rather than walking away from them. If we create guardrails and an ideological rudder, the sky is the limit. I also discuss the need to place the elimination of USAID and the Department of Education into budget reconciliation. Plus, how the sovereign wealth fund ties into mRNA and data centers and why that is a great example of Trump’s out-of-the box thinking that needs ideological guardrails.  Learn more about your ad choices.

How to Drain the 50 State Swamps | 2/4/25

The swamp is not just in D.C.; it’s in all 50 state Capitols. In fact, it’s even worse in red states, because there is no scrutiny from the public. We begin today by going through some examples of excellent legislation we could pass but that is being blocked by Republicans. I’m joined by Andy Roth of the State Freedom Caucus Network, who gives us his thoughts on the legislative sessions so far. Republican leaders are worse than ever in places like Florida, South Carolina, and Texas. Andy explains how the creation of the Freedom Caucus is the only solution to the problem of getting individual members with the courage and acumen to fight against leadership. However, at the same time, he can’t rush into a state to create a caucus unless it won’t be watered down and subverted from within. Roth also teases out which states will be easier and which states will be harder to create a caucus in. Ultimately, we will not drain the red-state swamps without working in primaries and growing Freedom Caucuses.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A Military Op or a Photo Op at the Border? | 2/3/25

Just like Joseph’s advice in Pharaoh’s dream, we need to build now in a time of ‘political plenty’ for when Democrats take back power.  To the end, I’m concerned about what the administration is doing to keep promoting the homosexual agenda minus the transgenderism.  We need to maximize the momentum and not allow subversive Republicans to blunt it.  Nowhere is this more evident than with immigration.  Today, I offer a comprehensive plan for ending illegal immigration in the interior while using the military at the border, not for a supportive law enforcement operation, but for a military operation to create a buffer zone.  I also go through some concerns about inflation and the budget placing us ad a disadvantage with the tariffs.  The tariffs would be much more effective if we first cut spending and implemented regulatory reform.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Why We Need the Freedom Caucus to Self-Separate from Duplicitous RINOs | 1/31/25

We begin today with an update on the Florida RINO amnesty fight with Governor DeSantis. These people are hell-bent on bringing the state back to pre-DeSantis governance controlled by special interests. Yet they run on our issues when they campaign. This is why we must self-separate, and this is where the Freedom Caucus comes in. We’re joined today by Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), the new chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, for an update on the caucus' fight with leadership over trying to actually fulfill the promise to bring down inflation. He discusses the plan for cutting spending and budget reconciliation. We also delve into the need for wholesale health care reform to bring back life, liberty, and fiscal solvency. Finally, he discusses the need to responsibly grow the Freedom Caucus in such a way that imposters cannot get away with co-opting our brand to promote the uniparty’s special interests.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The Opportunity for a Renewed Monroe Doctrine | 1/30/25

We begin today with some domestic politics and the concern that RINOs continue to destroy red states while wrapping themselves in Trump’s name. People close to Trump who claim to share the values of the base need a strategy to shut this down. Next, we’re joined by our foremost Latin American affairs expert, Joseph Humire, for a riveting discussion on why we need to rebuild the Monroe Doctrine. Humire explains the geopolitical situation, how China and Russia are taking over critical areas of Latin America, and how we could easily combat their influence. We need not treat Latin America like the Middle East and engage in nation-building. He offers some ideas on how to use a carrot-and-stick approach to assert our national interests — all built upon creating a security perimeter. He also discusses the future of the cartels, the threat of Venezuela, and the diplomatic strategy behind the Panama Canal spat with the Panamanian leader. Learn more about your ad choices.
