Trump is learning the hard way that endorsing Mitt Romney was a mistake. In order to have a successful second term, Trump must change gears and stop endorsing liberal Republicans at the request of party leaders. He needs to build reinforcements. I also explain the court ruling yesterday on the public charge rule and how Trump has a responsibility, as a separate, co-equal branch of government, to stop giving force to illegal nationwide injunctions.  Show Links:  Two years ago: Warning Trump not to endorse Romney: http://bit.ly/2S076Wn  Trump can push back against illegal nationwide injunctions without SCOTUS: http://bit.ly/316brvo  Abraham Lincoln's attorney general explained the role of the judiciary better than anyone: http://bit.ly/37AuWOT 

Nobody cares about impeachment. What do people care about? The safety and security of their communities. I talk about a few issues Trump can harness that will actually resonate with the public. People are terrified of public health concerns. I make the case for a suspension of travel to China until the coronavirus epidemic subsides. Also, one prominent supporter of the jailbreak movement publicly admits that the goal is to release violent criminals, not only supposed nonviolent offenders.  Show Links:  AP article on why nobody cares about impeachment: https://bit.ly/2O2EEC4  The secret is out: Prison release is all about violent offenders: https://bit.ly/2RP7VBe  Some Florida Republicans push jailbreak along with gun control, just like Dems: https://bit.ly/2tYak4u 

When you take stock of what the Left is doing on economics, abortion, transgenderism, crime, and illegal immigration, it’s easier now to provide a bold-colored policy contrast than ever before. Yet behind every radical Democrat position is a prominent Republican pushing that very policy! I explain today how Republicans are doing this on issues like crime, guns, open borders, and global warming. We can do so much better.

Today, we are joined by Erich Pratt, senior vice president of Gun Owners of America, to give us a state of play on the fight for our right to protect ourselves. Pratt lays out the stakes of the battle over our Second Amendment, as well as where we are winning and where we are losing. And he reveals what YOU can do as a concerned citizen to push back against those who want to release criminals while criminalizing constitutional rights. It's time to fight sanctuary cities with sanctuaries for the Constitution. Erich tells us how you can join the growing Second Amendment sanctuary movement.

Amid the fight over an irrelevant impeachment trial, today marks the 47th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. I explain what all Republicans and so-called pro-life organizations refuse to do in order to save human life and why the life issue has been used as an electoral scam rather than a righteous crusade.  It’s all about uprooting the false notion that courts wield such power to begin with. Until and unless we do that, we will be marking many more grim anniversaries to come.   Show Links:  The price of judicial supremacism: 60 million lives: https://bit.ly/2TLDize  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved 

We are joined today by Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies for an intelligence briefing on what is going on at the border with the new migrant caravans. Todd has riveting information on what motivates illegal immigrants and how they are scamming our system to find “chinks in the armor of enforcement.” They are waiting for Democrats to win the election, and then they know they can come here for free. But even under Trump, there is still more that can be done to close some other loopholes.  Show Links:  Todd's interviews with migrants hoping Trump loses: https://bit.ly/2NNTvAa  Illegal alien crime in NYC is shocking beyond belief: https://bit.ly/36gQS05 

What happened to “extreme vetting?” The Trump admin is bringing in more Middle Easterners than ever and continuing the Saudi military training program, even after the Pensacola terror attack. Plus, Chinese espionage is worse than ever, yet we have record Chinese immigration, plus those increasingly coming to our border and getting asylum under suspicious circumstances. Finally, this administration is expanding worker visas. It’s not too late for Trump to return to his campaign promises to reduce immigration. We gently remind him of them today and why he was right to make those promises.

The entire concept of judicial supremacy is built on a lie and is a house of cards. Trump and the state governments can easily push back against it. Until and unless they do, we will live in a judicial dictatorship of our own choosing.  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved 

Today’s show is our most in-depth discussion of the broken refugee program. Liberals and phony conservatives are accusing Texas Governor Greg Abbott of being cold-hearted and violating American values by stopping refugee resettlement. In reality, he is upholding our ultimate American values by stopping the forced transformation of communities. I delve into the security problems, fiscal cost, and cultural balkanization caused by the program, why the program is outdated, and what the virtue-signaling politicos are missing about its effects.    Show Links: Abbott chooses taxpayers over virtue-signaling: https://bit.ly/2RnpqYW  Even a refugee social worker admit there's a point where resettlement is too transformative: https://bit.ly/2u5X2Tb  Andrew McCarthy on vetting for Sharia supremacism: https://bit.ly/2tmJXVB  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved 

While we will never enjoy a crime-free utopia in this world, I’m here to tell you that most domestic murder is preventable because those crimes are committed by repeat offenders who are not punished enough. All crime committed by illegal aliens would be avoidable if we enforced our immigration laws. Most terror cases are avoidable because we should never have let the perpetrator into the country, as we learned yesterday from the Justice Department regarding the Saudi terrorist in Pensacola. Hence, supporting sovereignty and security is the ultimate pro-life policy. I also detail the crazy jailbreak cases in New York and the need to build a movement to counter crime like Reagan did.   Show Links:  PA Dems want to release those who were accessories to murder: https://bit.ly/38538SI  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved 

Every geopolitical event brings with it a set of policy opportunities, and the Iran conflict is no different. Today, I explain why Iran’s threat to us is primarily through the border and the visa system. Trump will never get a better opportunity to push for troops at the border and a shutoff of visas from the Middle East than he has now. I also address the problem with Mike Lee’s criticism of the president on Iran and why he is all about virtue-signaling.  Show Links: The case for an expanded travel ban: https://bit.ly/2QNV1Ec  The problem of Chinese espionage and immigration: https://bit.ly/30eX3jY  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved 

Contrary to what many conservatives think, we are not winning back the courts. I explain how the Left has adapted to new tactics and is winning more than ever before on immigration cases in the courts. I go through some insane rulings creating a right to immigrate and how, even after the Supreme Court sides with Trump, lower court judges still engage in civil disobedience. Trump has no choice but to refuse to give their acts of disobedience effect. As I explain, this is exactly what the Founders had in mind. Absent such a move, Trump will be a lame duck.  Show Links:  The latest on the fight over refugees: https://bit.ly/35IpEiK 

Buckle up and get ready for one of the most comprehensive discussions on crime out on the web today. I’m joined by Rafael Mangual of the Manhattan Institute to discuss the latest trends in crime and weak-on-crime policies in places like New York and Baltimore. This is not just about bail or any single facet of the criminal justice system. This is about ensuring that the solution to every policy challenge is fewer arrests, fewer convictions, and less prison time. We cover parole, weak juvenile laws, insanity defense, lack of deterrent, and a lack of balance in approach to the needs of victims and society at large.

On today’s episode, I explain how and why Trump really won the conflict with Iran in spectacular fashion and how he can make it stick. Once we all understand how he won this battle, it's easy to see how Trump can use the same political tactics against Democrats and Congress to push his agenda on immigration and fulfill his promise to be tough on crime. I lay out the case for what Trump needs to do on those two issues and how can use the bully pulpit, veto pen, and executive action to make Democrats look as defeated as the mullahs.

Today we are joined by Dan Caldwell of Concerned Veterans for America to deliver some painful but much-needed truths about Iraq. As a Marine who served there during a volatile insurgency, Caldwell explains why the war was really lost to Iran from day one and why Iran will only benefit from us remaining there. We discuss the need to shift gears in terms of military strategy and focus and finally learn from the mistakes of the past. In order to do that, we must first acknowledge the nature of those mistakes.  Show Links: 'Our global missions: Soldiers serving as ... dental hygiene teachers in Niger': https://bit.ly/39MtZV7 Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved 

Today is all about a vision to protect America from enemies, foreign and domestic. On the foreign side, I give a list of dos and don’ts in the Middle East. We should accept Iraq’s demand that we leave and let the country stew in the perpetual Sunni vs. Iran proxy war. Also, the same members of Congress who are upset at Trump for acting unilaterally actually authorized the continued involvement in the proxy war just a few weeks ago! At the end of the show, I update you on the latest on domestic criminal, illegal immigration, and how we have more to fear now from criminals on our streets than even from Iranian terrorists.  Show Links: 'New York's jailbreak bill is already out of control': https://bit.ly/36F2pYh  'Appalling amount of crime committed by illegal aliens': https://bit.ly/36uVaSn  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved 

Today, we are joined by retired Col. Dan Steiner to deliver a briefing and analysis on the death of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani that you will not hear anywhere else. We push back against the false dichotomy between sitting idly while Iran attacks us and getting sucked into more nation-building escapades. Trump did the right thing, according to Col. Steiner, and he can now chart a path toward peace through strength rather than nation-building. Plus, how this affects Russia, China, and even our own border. Steiner gives us the full picture being ignored by everyone in the media. Show Links: 'The importance of the strike on Soleimani': https://bit.ly/2QKdv7f  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved 

As we mark the new year, now is the time for conservatives to unite behind a vision and an agenda. I review some of the things we’ve missed over the vacation and use them to offer Trump a winning agenda for 2020. First and foremost, he must use the bully pulpit to fight the crime wave, as Reagan did so effectively in the 1980s. The growing anti-Semitic attacks in New York are rooted in some of the same weak-on-crime policies Republicans and even people in Trump’s own White House have accepted. Also, he must push back against the governors who are demanding more refugees. Finally, I discuss the point everyone is missing about the attack on our embassy in Baghdad.  Show Links:  "So much for the 'travel ban': Lower courts reign over SCOTUS ruling" https://bit.ly/39yzYwQ  "Attack on Baghdad embassy exposes farce of Iraq war": https://bit.ly/37wVaRQ  "List of open-borders Republican governors": https://bit.ly/2FaWeyO  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved 

End of the year: We look back on the state of play for conservatives. While there is a lot to bemoan, there are some looming opportunities, precisely because things are so dark. BlazeTV host Steve Deace joins us to give a comprehensive health exam of the conservative movement and why it’s failing. This is not for the faint of heart. This is for those who like their truth bombs 100 proof. We can only fix what is wrong if we acknowledge that there is something wrong. Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, and happy New Year from the BlazeTV family!  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved 

Impeachment is now done. It won’t go anywhere in the Senate. Now is the time to unite behind a winning message. Today, I offer my closing argument on why Trump needs to veto the budget bills and start over. Also, we are joined by Rep. Chip Roy, the most vocal supporter of conservative causes in Congress, to lay down some markers for how to move on to substantive issues after impeachment. He says if Republicans fail to deliver after this, they should be thrown out in primaries.   Show Links:  'Liberian amnesty stuck into defense bill': https://bit.ly/2Mc26vs  'Pro-criminal legislation stuck into the defense bill': https://bit.ly/2rUckdm  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved 

Today, we delve into the impeachment nobody wants to talk about: The taxpayers of this country are being impeached by Congress, except, unlike the impeachment against Trump, they actually have the votes to convict us. I explain more details about the insane omnibus bills and the defense bills, which will likely be signed by Trump this week as a reward to the very Democrats impeaching him. Trump's perfect response to impeachment would be to oppose these bills, which would also make him more popular. But I can’t be more pro-Trump than Trump himself is.  Show Links:  U.S. 'Illegal alien population triple that of Europe': https://bit.ly/34wlVnH  'Details of the omnibus bill': https://bit.ly/2M6SL8c  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved 

Now, more than ever, is the time for Trump to use his most potent weapons: the veto pen and the bully pulpit. I break down the sickening details of the process and policy behind the omnibus bills and why it’s indefensible for the president not to veto them. I lay out a path for the president to sign a clean continuing resolution and build the case for a fight over immigration enforcement in January. It’s now or never for fulfilling promises.  Show Links: 'Dems brag about their Christmas wish list in the omnibus': https://bit.ly/2S1NG4V 

This week is chock-full of opportunities for conservatives to seize and to move the ball forward on major issues. But thanks to impeachment distracting nearly every conservative, the Left will continue to win. I explain how the Trump administration failed to push his promises on visas and arming soldiers on bases following the Pensacola attack. Trump’s secretary of defense, Mark Esper, could easily serve in a Democrat administration. Also, New York is in a state of rebellion against immigration laws, and nobody is pushing for a budget fight against sanctuary cities. I explain the legal authority Trump has to fight back against them and what he should do. On the 246th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, we are left wondering where our protest movement is. Well, we can’t fight if we are distracted.  Show Links:  'Trump's secdef calling for expansion of foreign military training program': https://bit.ly/2LVFijJ  'Of all things, military now focused on more coed integration of Marines': https://bit.ly/2PQKCpD  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved 

The British people rose up and demanded that Brexit finally mean Brexit. When will American conservatives demand that MAGA finally mean MAGA? Today: A barrage of truth bombs on how we are failing to achieve results on a single major issue. There are reasons why we are failing, and I list some of them, but the first step is to recognize that we are not achieving results. We are only achieving talking points. Trump can learn a lot from Boris Johnson.    Show Links:  'Republicans agree to fund everything except border security': https://bit.ly/2PhsDJS  'Pompeo sends $115 billion in aid to Lebanon, which is run by Hezbollah': https://bloom.bg/35if6aw  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved 

America has truly become the dumping ground for the world’s criminals, gangs, terrorists, and spies. Today, I’m joined by Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies to dissect a new bombshell report from ICE. Jessica explains how, thanks to the courts, lack of resources, and sanctuary cities, ICE’s enforcement operations continue to slide backward even under Trump. She demonstrates how there is an epidemic of millions of illegal aliens who have been arrested for other crimes but remain free in our communities with almost no supervision or vetting. And speaking of vetting, Vaughan, a former State Department consular official, throws a red flag on our suicidal visa policies bringing in large numbers of foreign students and military trainees from countries that pose a security risk. Why are we not learning the lessons of Pensacola?  Show Links:  '2,500 illegal alien homicides in one year?' https://bit.ly/2tcyZSl  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved
