I begin today’s show by honoring the commitment of our veterans to this country’s defense. Our policy-makers owe it to our troops to make their sacrifices worthwhile and not waste them on aimless missions that often run counter to our security interests. Afghanistan is the ultimate case study for what I call “the reverse Patton.” Next, I discuss three issues where Republicans are making more Democrat voters: voter fraud, jailbreak, and immigration. Republicans have refused to deal with voter fraud and the issue of non-citizens voting. Now those chickens are coming home to roost. Worse, Democrats now plan to use their time in charge of the House to push even more voting anomalies and mandates on the states. They will show the do-nothing Republicans what it means to control the House.  What’s the next thing Republicans plan to do with only one more month in control of Congress? They plan to pass an early release bill for gun felons and drug traffickers during the worst border and drug crisis, and while Democrats are pushing gun control. I explain the details of this bill and how it is something Orwell couldn’t have written.   Show links Afghanistan commander admits the war is lost but has new plan for our troops How to value the lives of our soldiers at a minimum Dems plan to push voter fraud in legislation Jailbreak is a betrayal of Trump’s campaign promise As of 2012, there were likely 200,000 non-citizens registered to vote in Florida Why nothing matters until judicial supremacy is dealt with Copyright CRTV.

Following this election, there are so many decision points we are confronted with and so many brushfires from the Left to put out, yet we have no movement to combat them. In this episode, I discuss leadership elections, primaries, picking an attorney general, jailbreak, judicial supremacism, election law, and the border crisis. On each of these issues, the Left is owning us, yet we are busy distracting ourselves with nonsense. We need leaders on the Right now. In the second half, I dissect Trump’s executive order on the border and why it is lukewarm. Finally, I make the definitive case for why we will not win back the courts as long as we agree to judicial supremacism.     Show links The entire asylum claim is a lie The blueprint for 2020 primaries  The courts are killing this country Copyright CRTV.

Teddy Roosevelt once said that “there is no enemy of free government more dangerous and none so insidious as the corruption of the electorate.” Today I am joined by Logan Churchwell, communications and research director for the Public Interest Legal Foundation, to discuss the growing problem of voter fraud, incompetent election officials, and the asymmetrical warfare the Left has been fighting in law and politics with election law. Ever since election night, Democrats have been flipping races left and right — well, only Left — with provisional ballots, forced recounts, and other anomalies. Logan gives us a complete intelligence briefing on what is happening in Florida with Democrats continuing to close the gap with new votes.  He also gives us a broad view of how the Left has created an industry around victimizing minorities and openly using racist arguments to claim they are too incompetent to vote like everyone else and require special “help.” Democrats are winning both in the culture and in court, creating an insurance policy of provisional votes they can use to flip close elections.  Show linksOur first show with Logan earlier this year Copyright CRTV.

This is my first analysis of the election results.  Bottom line is that this election has a lot more good news for conservatives than we previously thought. I explain what the election results mean, what they portend for 2020, and what conservatives can do between now and then.  Copyright CRTV. All rights reserved.

Rather than debate the accuracy of polling and make predictions on an outcome we will know within hours, I focus today on getting focused as a movement. Irrespective of Tuesday’s outcome, we will need to lean on this administration to make the right choices, and we must give air cover to our allies. Unfortunately, our allies in this administration are being overruled on issues pertaining to Iran sanctions, spending bills, and how to deal with the courts, as well as immigration. We do Trump and the MAGA allies no favors by complaining about the deep state in the abstract, but then refusing to criticize the administration when it allows the deep state to win on important policies. I discuss all these policies on today’s show.  Next, we delve into how the courts will strip this president of any lawful powers to improve this country and how we need to wake up and smell the judicial tyranny. They have now taken over all state election law powers even as they strip the federal government of its lawful power to set one uniform day for elections. Finally, I return to our discussion of birthright citizenship from last week and supply yet more evidence that the entire legal profession is dead wrong on this issue.

“Every society from a great nation down to a club had the right of declaring the conditions on which new members should be admitted, there can be room for no complaint.” –Gouverneur Morris (believed to be primary author of the actual prose of Constitution), Constitutional Convention in 1787 This is one of my longest and most foundational podcasts. I trace back sovereignty, citizenship, and self-governance form our Founding through the 14th Amendment and subsequent court cases. I show how we are no longer a sovereign nation thanks to illegal immigration, judicial supremacy, and the mix of the two problems. Bookmark this as your definitive takedown of the feudal-era jus soli principle on birthright citizenship, conclusively proving why Wong Kim Ark was wrongly decided and why even if we support that decision, it cannot be extended to illegal aliens.

I pack into this hour every fact and myth about birthright citizenship. Illegal immigrants who come here without the consent of the people cannot be considered as having attained entry onto our soil. As such, even if we have birthright citizenship for legal immigrants, it cannot be applied to legal immigrants. I go through the full historical, philosophical, and legal case. And yes, Trump has the power to change an erroneous policy that has no grounding in statute.  Show links The originalist case against birthright citizenship Liberals have citizenship backwards Scalia would never agree to violate sovereignty  Copyright CRTV.

Pittsburgh, pain, and politics. In this episode, I discuss the theological underpinnings of what went on this weekend and what should not be political. Unfortunately, those with an agenda have already made the part of this that shouldn’t be political into a political witch hunt to stifle debate. It all gets back to never letting a crisis go to waste for a political agenda. I make the case for why atrocities shouldn’t be used as human shields to stifle debate.  I also explain my views on how to deter and protect against these attacks to the best of our ability.   Show links Atrocities are not political human shields to stifle debate Refugee policies are killing us with “compassion” Muslim immigrants chanting “Intifada” on our shores Should we import the values of the Middle East?

"When a wise man points at the moon, the imbecile examines the finger." There’s a growing trend that whenever there is an attempted or successful terrorist attack, a politically motivated attack, a school shooting, or other heinous public crime, we debate the party affiliation of the perpetrator, the weapon of choice, and the nature of the target. But what we all fail to notice is that most people who sink to the level of murder or attempted murder usually have rap sheets of “lower” crimes and other warning signs. Rather than tear each other down over politics, we need to start asking why these people, known wolves, as my friend Patrick Poole calls them, are not locked up. In this special episode, I discuss how “rhetoric” on both sides is not responsible for their respective crazies who try to murder. The only problem is when people like Maxine Waters make specific threats to get in public official’s faces and swarm them with a “crowd.” That is not a rhetoric problem; that is a direct threat. In this case, as with the Scalise shooting by a Bernie supporter, it’s nobody’s fault. It’s a criminal justice problem. He had a huge rap sheet and was never locked up.  This is a problem from both parties because they both support policies that have ensured people arrested for similar crimes are not locked up.  Show links Sayoc’s threat to commit a 9/11 attack…15 years before Trump My Facebook post on Sayoc Copyright CRTV.

Are we just going to be Election Day groundhog activists and go back into our bunker the day after the election, or will we finally forge ahead with an agenda?  In this episode, I discuss the need to reset the baseline of what it means to be a conservative, how it applies today, and what we seek to achieve. Otherwise, that baseline will forever drift to the left. I discuss Chip Roy’s plan to reset the baseline, the way we discuss issues, and the goals we hope to achieve on all the important issues.  I delve into the false dichotomy about labels like nationalism and how we define ourselves relative to the media rather than in our own affirmative and absolute terms.  Finally, I give an update on some immigration-related news and how the courts are a perfect example of the need to reset the baseline.  Show Links Our resource page on caravan news WSJ: Half of economic growth from government spending James Wallner’s excellent article on the need for a vision Georgia judge trying to steal the election The latest border numbers are astounding  Before it was political, the media reported on non-Latin Americans coming across the border Chip Roy will be a game changer Copyright CRTV.

Many people fail to realize that our laws on illegal immigration are fine; it’s our executive policies and the courts that are the problem. We don’t really make illegal immigration illegal, and actually, we sometimes criminalize enforcement, not illegal immigration. If we merely de-magnetized our border by ramping up interior enforcement, ending asylum, and ending all of the benefits, illegals would not come. I prove this thesis through history and data. Also, we must be careful that the border wall doesn’t become a distraction. I explain how border walls only help if we respect our own sovereignty, but not if we invite illegal immigrants in with asylum and other benefits. It’s more important to tackle the policy problem than the infrastructure problem. Finally, I discuss the concern of terrorists in Latin America being smuggled through our border and how it’s worse than you think.     Show links Trump is right about Middle Easterners coming to the border The GOP not doing enough to make the border an issue   Copyright CRTV.

In this episode, we discuss the need for a movement and a conservative media that calls the balls and strikes on policies of a Republican president and Congress. Often Trump is intuitively with us but has idiots in his administration pushing him the other way. We do him no favors by treating him with "kid gloves" and ignoring his policy betrayals, because it strengthens the hands of the swampsters and weakens our allies in the administration. We begin by focusing on the good things Trump is doing to combat Russia’s nuclear aggression and his laudable decision to pull out of the one-sided nuclear treaty. We make the case for how Trump can follow up on this and destroy Democrats on Russian collusion. Next, we focus on opportunities and pitfalls with the caravan invasion of our border. Trump is hitting the right stride, but there are still forces in his administration that are helping the invasion with wrongheaded asylum policies. We give you some inside information about what’s happening at our border and what needs to happen to restore the rule of law in immigration. Finally, we address judicial supremacism and how even Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch seems to think a republic means judicial supremacism. Show links LA Times finally tells the truth about the drug crisis and the border Trump’s power to stop the invasion Early voting is unfair and unconstitutional Gorsuch gets the role of the judiciary wrong Copyright CRTV.

In another blockbuster foreign policy Friday with Jordan Schachtel, we discuss the latest with the Khashoggi saga and juxtapose the media’s disregard of the truth and consequences of their advocacy. Why is the media not concerned about immigration from Saudi Arabia, yet they hate the new Saudi government that is actually fighting terrorists? Just how powerful is the MB influence in America? It would shock you. We move on to Afghanistan, where the top U.S. commander was almost killed in an “insider” attack that left a top Afghani official dead. We prove once and for all that the situation is irremediably broken, and to pull out is actually a victory for us, not a defeat.  Finally, we discuss immigration policy from a terrorism standpoint and how Trump can add to his promising week of diplomacy with Mexico.  Show links Finally! They will process bogus asylum in Mexico, not in the U.S. The war in Afghanistan is over Focusing on immigration and terror finance is a much better counterterrorism strategy  What the media isn’t telling you about the Khashoggi affair Copyright CRTV.

Republicans, even all the liberal ones running on liberal policies, must defeat the Democrats. Fine, I get it. But what is our plan to stop the betrayal of Republicans in Congress the day after and actually focus on cleaning our own house for once?  What’s next? When will we actually hold Republicans accountable for betraying us on every issue? When will we actually fight on the budget, the border, and health care? I delve into the severity of the health care betrayal and how Republicans are making Obamacare great again. It’s worse than you think. Also, I discuss Ben Sasse and how he has the wrong diagnosis of our political problems and the wrong prescription. In fact, he has no prescription other than virtue-signaling for the media and selling books. Finally, I address some of Sessions’ forgotten accomplishments that the conservative media ignores.

Are you sick of Republicans and the conservative media focusing on these quasi-cultural flash points but then agreeing with Democrats on all the policy outcomes? Be sure to tune in today. In this blockbuster episode, I cram as much health care policy into one show as I possibly can. I discuss how Republicans have essentially agreed to Obamacare and socialized medicine even as they claim to fight it. Why are health care and medical insurance so messed up? Who caused the pre-existing condition problem? Who is at fault for all the mergers, acquisitions, and monopolies as well as the destruction of private practice? Bookmark this podcast, because this is the message that needs to be delivered on the campaign trail. I also touch on jailbreak and how Trump used to understand race, crime, and incarceration, but has gone back on his campaign message. I give you the most up-to-date FBI statistics. Finally, I explore some cultural fights that have jazzed up our base but have not resulted in policy outcomes. We should care more about how much of the Dem policies our own side is adopting than the soap opera on the Democrat side.  Show links The ultimate reform of Medicaid and pre-existing conditions Even worse than the cost of health care is what gov’t is doing to the quality and to doctors  The old Trump was right about crime, incarceration, and race Copyright CRTV.

In this episode of “Foreign Policy Friday” with CRTV’s national security correspondent, Jordan Schachtel, we lay out the bare truth of the saga with Saudi Arabia and the disappearance of Jamal Kashaggi.  Jordan demonstrates that this guy was no journalist; he was a pro-al Qaeda activist with the Muslim Brotherhood. This is not our hill to die on. While we don’t like all the behavior of Saudi Arabia, the reality is that the nation is more of a help then a harm in this day and age when the bigger problem is Iran, Qatar, and Turkey, while the Saudis have reformed. Does this mean we should be full allies with the Saudis and allow them to sucker us into their problems? No. We put America first and use them for our interests while ignoring them when there is no interest. Stop with the false dichotomies. A clear vision of America’s interests will make these decision points a lot easier.  We also talk about the latest subversion activities of Turkey and Qatar and the search for the next UN ambassador. At the end of the show, I explain how conservatives need to follow our dictum on foreign relations for domestic political relations with Republicans. Don’t judge an issue based on the enemy of your enemy; judge it based on the merits of what you believe in. I give an update on jailbreak and give more statistics to blow up the myth of the jailbreak movement being pushed by people like Kayne West. Let’s stop supporting people who are not worth defending just because they had one fight with our enemy, the media.  Show links Trump’s betrayal of crime victims H.R. 193 to abolish the UN Copyright CRTV.

Those who work in politics full-time and claim to be conservative need to read the fine print on the policies, strategies, and personnel upon which they opine. The fine print is all that matters, and understanding it will void out the message they are getting from the bold print. In this episode, I discuss all the ways the GOP is screwing us on policy and personnel, from crime and immigration to economics, and health care. Yet the brainless “conservative” media is so distracted and uninformed, and they don’t read the fine print, that they actually help the Left they seek to fight. This is the danger of having no affirmative ideology, goal, or direction other than responding to the Left at any given moment.  Show notes   Read the fine print on rinos Trump is abandoning his base on crony ethanol   Copyright CRTV.

Everyone is abuzz with rumors about the next U.N. ambassador. I offer some ideas for who should be the conservative pick and what is important about this position. I also note how conservatives are not in a good position to block some of the bad names being mentioned. Next, I show how there is a torrent of court cases that will hurt us on sovereignty and immigraition. Courts just ruled sanctuary cities are entitled to federal funding. And no, a more conservative Supreme Court will not fully solve this problem. I conclude with a discussion on the sheer growth of legal and illegal immigration and how we are funding our demise with sanctuary cities and anchor babies. Finally, I preview the next battle over ethanol statism.  Show links We are funding anchor babies with Medicaid Sanctuary cities and the drug crisis UN pushing border invasion in our own liberal courts Another sanctuary judge Copyright CRTV.

What do you do when you are losing a war and have a weak army, but then get a miraculous break and win one defensive skirmish? Do you get drunk and celebrate as if your troubles are over, or do you double down and go on offense while working to finally make competent fighting men out of your forces? This is the analogy that should guide conservatives in dealing with Republicans after the Kavanaugh victory.  We need to double down on the fight and get better Republicans, not just any Republicans elected.  We should demand they come back in session and spark similar flash points over immigration and crime and other issues. But to do so, we must develop our own goals and destinations. What is it we want as conservatives? It’s not enough to merely wake up every day and oppose what the Left is doing. Let’s pursue our agenda and make the Left respond to us. In that way, we can take Christopher Columbus’ adage to heart – that “by prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination.” Show links 6 lessons GOP should learn from Kavanaugh fight Complacent conservatives should learn the Murkowski lesson Copyright CRTV.

Let’s not remain happy with just one victory; let’s follow up on the Kavanaugh victory with a more robust agenda. In this episode, I go through the lessons of the Kavanaugh victory and what conservatives can do to influence the outcome of this election, nominate better Republicans in the future, and replicate this unity in other issues. The GOP could turn the tide in October, if they only cared.    Meanwhile, we must remember that we are not winning back the courts by simply appointing better judges and continuing to agree to judicial supremacy. I talk about some recent cases missed by the conservative media. Next, I discuss how conservatives missed the boat on Joe Miller challenging Lisa Murkowski in Alaska in 2016 and what this means for Mississippi this year.   I also focus on some positive developments with sanctions on Iran and defeating European efforts to undermine our diplomacy.  Show links Only reason GOP is fighting on Kavanaugh is because they fear the base My 2016 endorsement of Joe Miller Anthony Kennedy has a lot of nerve to complain about failed democracy Copyright CRTV.

If the Left is militarized beyond repair, why not just go all out? Why are congressional Republicans still capitulating on every other issue aside from the Supreme Court? Today I'm joined by our congressional correspondent, Nate Madden, to discuss the latest happenings in Congress and the latest prognoses on the Kavanaugh vote. We try to discern why our base is so numb to all the policy betrayals and why it’s so much harder to galvanize the Right in American than the Left. Nate believes the difference is rooted in the lifestyles and worldviews of the respective ideologies. Conservatives must face the irony of focusing on government, which is naturally not their priority, in order to get government out of their lives.  We also explore the growing dynamic where our own voters, because of the viciousness of the Left, are projecting logical thoughts on Republicans that are completely unfounded. It’s counterintuitive, but Republicans are so unbelievable in their perfidy that they more they do it, the more they get away with it, because base voters need a hero and need something to believe in.  Show links Only reason Republicans are fighting on Kavanaugh is because they fear the base Will Republicans change their ways after Kavanaugh?

Just when we thought Republicans would finally unite behind one issue, namely a Supreme Court nominee, the RINOs come out to sandbag us. In this episode, I analyze why McConnell and Co. deserve the blame for having these RINOs in the Senate in the first place. We tried to warn them about people like Murkowski, but they fought tooth and nail for her. Now they must reap what they sowed. Moreover, they foster a culture of capitulation on 90 percent of the other issues so that even when they come to the 10 percent they wish to accomplish, there are enough members whom they groomed and acculturated into this culture of capitulation that they block us even with a court nominee.  And speaking of other issues, it’s as if the conservative movement is hooked on political heroin and is totally numb to the budget betrayal. President Trump signed the budget betrayal at high noon on Friday, yet conservatives don’t even know about it. Also, Trump is on the cusp of endorsing Kevin McCarthy for speaker. Do we have a movement that thinks for itself?  Finally, I preview the coming elections, which are taking an ominous turn.  Show links So, will Republicans stop working with Democrats on jailbreak?

In this episode, I analyze the Kavanaugh tragedy – and yes, it is a tragedy – from a unique angle. Democrats on the Judiciary Committee have been the leaders in weak-on-crime laws for juvenile crimes and want to let convicted felons out of jail. They don’t give a darn about victims. Yet when it comes to political outcomes, they are willing to hang a guy with no evidence and violate every norm of due process under the guise of protecting victims. I explore multiple factors, political dynamics, and outcomes that are seemingly conflicting but are all true in their own right. The Republicans' stand on this issue is important, but only if that is used as a springboard and a cathartic moment to change their modus operandi, not as a means of covering up every other betrayal and continuing to do so. In that vein, I explore how conservatives should view Lindsey Graham’s newfound feistiness. The key is this: Many thoughts (and hot takes!) can be true at the same time.      Show links 15 constitutional questions we still don’t know about SCOTUS nominees While you were distracted, here is what Congress did Copyright CRTV.

Unfortunately, this will be lost in the fight to the death over Kavanaugh, but Trump just delivered one of his best speeches.  Today, I am joined by CR’s national security correspondent, Jordan Schachtel, to dissect the important elements of Trump’s speech before the U.N. General Assembly.  Jordan shows how Trump is taking a new, much-needed stance on international relations, breaking through the false choices of isolationism and globalism. We also go through our typical “foreign policy Friday” discussion about where the administration is living up to the principles Trump laid out and where it is falling short. We cover Latin America, Israel, Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. Is Chinese meddling in our election a bigger problem than Russian meddling?  Finally, we give an update on how the House of Representatives is spending its final week in power.

In this episode, I dissect how phony conservatives have supported a phony Republican Party that never accomplishes anything and always moves the ball forward for the Left. I explain how they continue to get away with the biggest political fraud of all time by promoting the same arguments for voting GOP. You are as likely to succeed in promoting conservatism with this political party as the Cleveland Browns are likely to win the Super Bowl.   I tie together the latest on the Kavanaugh case, the death of the Values Voter Summit, and the betrayal on the budget bill.  Finally, I offer a preview of the upcoming battle over immigration and public charge.  “You have planted much, but harvested little.
