Cultural Marxism, Judicial Civil Disobedience, False Dichotomies and How we Can Break Out of It Ep 143
The reason the left is so successful is because they hijack every cultural institution within western democracies and use their incumbent power to engage in civil disobedience by delegitimizing laws, traditions, and common sense policy ideas. The use their stewardship and control over the failed status quo to threaten instability in order to perpetuate the most insane ideas and block common sense morality. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we lay it all on the line – going through immigration, Obamacare, foreign policy, and the courts to show how the left and the fake DC conservative elites have successfully paralyzed any opposition and what we can do about it. They speak to the morality of their immorality and are willing to do and say anything to enshrine their agenda immutably. We need to learn from their conviction and speak to the morality of our ideas and be willing to follow through with them unflinchingly. But in order to do that we need a new party and movement with the intellectual and moral clarity and consistency to enact these ideas. Which ideas and how do we succeed? We touch on this, the emerging judicial emergency with crazy judges, and more!

Trump Administration Keeping Almost Every Backward Obama Idea on Foreign Policy Ep 142
With every conservative now pushed out of this administration, it is essentially Obama’s third term on most aspects of foreign policy. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we dissect the essence of this administration’s foreign policy and prove that Obama’s dyslexic foreign policy priorities are continuing. We suck heavy resources down the drains of Islamic civil wars while refusing to use soft power where it is more effective. We are helping our enemies with our own military while alienating allies. We are threatening to cut off aid to Sisi in Egypt while continuing aid to Lebanese [Hezbollah] military and to UNRWA. We are doing more for Iran than they could possibly pay us for, yet we are doing it for free and with the lives and resources of our military. At the same time, Trump is allying with Erdogen and dumping on the Kurds, while promoting the unreliable Afghani government. One could not possibly conjure up a more backwards foreign policy. And as we demonstrate, the generals are just as much a part of the problem, several of whom are now in civilian leadership.

The Afghanistan Dumpster Fire That Political/Military Elites Refuse to Understand Ep 141
Policy doesn’t fit on a bumper sticker. This is doubly true for Afghanistan. Those who unquestionably support the effort to double-down on the current Afghanistan disaster while saying this is somehow a new strategy are not paying attention to what’s going on in the theater. In this blockbuster episode of the Conservative Conscience, we invite Capt. Jarrin Jackson to discuss the reality on the ground in Afghanistan. Using his war stories as a company commander during the height of the previous surge, he demonstrates why, by definition, what we are likely to do is more dangerous and costly nation building that needlessly risks the lives of our troops in pursuit of a utopian goal. While the president’s address was clearly aimed at appeasing conservatives by focusing on counter-terrorism and not nation building, the conditions were too ambiguous. And given that the generals and the administration staff implementing this policy are all part of the problem, we are headed for the same results as the 2011 surge. Jarrin, who is running for Congress, left the military because he was so frustrated about the political and military leadership not putting our interests first, following the Constitution, and having the proper regard for the lives of the troops under their command.

Flight 93 Presidency: What Bannon’s Exit Means for Conservatives Ep 140
Steve Bannon, the great solar eclipse, and Flight 93, oh my! We cover it all and you will see how it ties together. Following the departure of Steve Bannon, there is really nothing left for anyone on the right in this administration – whether you are a constitutionalist or someone who just wants to drain the swamp. Sure, Trump will continue to tantalize us with his rhetoric but there are literally no personnel left in the administration to sustain those views. Now is the time to unite behind an exciting an innovative platform and set of principles that are built upon our timeless constitutional values, albeit applied in a way that relates to a broad array of the country to confront today’s challenges. We conclude by discussing how to go about starting a new party.

How Swamp Conservatives and their Failure to Stand for Anything Fueled Alt Right Ep 139
Why is it that we see the rise of a phony alt-right movement and the media obsession with it? Well, those conservatives who are so obsessed with criticizing it are responsible for its rise. The vacuum left by a truly constitutional movement that actually believes in fighting for what it espouses, rather than collecting website clicks and money, would have preempted the rise of such a movement. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we discuss how the conservative “smart set” ignoring Judge Roy Moore is emblematic of what is wrong with them and why the Republican voters turned away from their brand. It’s why some people are unfortunately attracted to some voices that might identify the problems accurately but are headed in the wrong direction. When confronted with a destructive cultural Marxist agenda, the phony conservative movement did nothing to counter it with Godly and constitutional principles. Thus, our side wants a revolution. Some of us want an American revolution, but sadly many will be attracted to a French Revolution because they are so desperate for leadership. Support for a man like Roy Moore offers a true opportunity to stand beyond this false dichotomy of the status quo or a French Revolution, yet these people who say they want something more than Trump refused to stand with him.

Localism is the Solution to a Painfully Divided Country Ep 138
Once again, we have another tragedy in this country that becomes a political football. Everything, from tragedies and mayhem to sports and weather must become political. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we discuss the solution to reconciliation in this country: localism. Because everything is dealt with on a federal level and because we have such a polarized country, everything has become a flashpoint, even issues or events that would otherwise stand above politics. By restructuring our system of government to federalism we will be able to self-sort and enjoy self-government to each group’s linking in their respective areas while preserving national unity on the issues that need to be dealt with at a federal level, such as combating North Korea. Key quotes “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State. The operations of the federal government will be most extensive and important in times of war and danger; those of the State governments, in times of peace and security. As the former periods will probably bear a small proportion to the latter, the State governments will here enjoy another advantage over the federal government. The more adequate, indeed, the federal powers may be rendered to the national defense, the less frequent will be those scenes of danger which might favor their ascendancy over the governments of the particular States.” ~ James Madison, Federalist 45 Show links Outline of how to fight North Korea Left-wing government doesn’t enforce law against violent protesters Trump’s amnesty is a bigger problem than any twitter statement Learn more about your ad choices.

A Vision for Dealing with China and North Korea Ep 137
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. **Please fill-out this survey on our podcast so we can help grow this great audience and spread the truth** Show links ZOA’s case against McMaster Why Trump’s defense of McMaster is indefensible Trump’s swims with the swamp in Alabama Trump’s negotiation tactic with North Korea is good.

The Alabama Senate Race is the First Opportunity for a True Revolution Ep 136
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
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
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.
