When at Times the Mob Is Swayed: A Citizen’s Guide to Defending Our Republic

Podcast episode

The week Republicans lose the midterms Ep. 204: This week, Republicans plan to pass their last major piece of legislation for the remainder of the year … even though it’s only March! And unfortunately, the omnibus bill will be a bundle full of betrayals for conservatives. In this episode, we discuss the betrayal of the omnibus and how Trump’s only option is to threaten a veto. We go through the constitutional history of the presidential veto and its power to leverage a president’s priorities. So why is Trump so bashful about using it? It is the best way to fight for his priorities and salvage the midterm elections. Republicans refuse to address in this bill our immigration problems, which have been made worse by the lawless courts. The courts have actually gotten worse than you think, and we update you on some recent rulings. Finally, we touch on the big lies of the opioid crisis and how the refusal to properly diagnose it and understand its cause will lead to solutions that not onl

The Courts are Destroying this Country and We are Letting it Happen. Ep117: Between the courts setting immigration policy, national security policy, election law, social policy, redistricting, and criminal justice policy, we no longer live in a republic.  The lower courts, not just the Supreme Court, stand above the other branches of government and the 50 states. But how did this happen?  How can the other branches, which have more robust powers, get rolled by courts created by Congress? In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we explore the recent immigration rulings and some other cases to demonstrate how the judicial crisis stems from a political crisis whereby the other branches of government are needlessly giving in to the courts.  In fact, as it relates to the Fourth Circuit opinion on Trump’s executive order, the administration is giving the courts even more than they ask for.   At some point, could we really blame the courts for grabbing power that is handed to th

The Most Important Senate Race: An Interview with Judge Roy Moore Ep 110: Conservatives have been pushed to the brink by the betrayals. We want a revolution.  We want a party to finally act in accordance with its campaign pledges.  Where do we go from here? In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel interviews Judge Roy Moore who is attempting to storm the establishment castle by running for Senate in Alabama.  They discuss a wide range of topics, particularly related to the role of the courts and how the judicial crisis has neutered Congress.  It takes an originalist in the Senate to solve the problem, not just originalists on the courts.  But it also takes a man of integrity, something that is lacking with most Republicans. The question for conservatives is if they will take yes for an answer.   Key quotes: When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers, “just

What should be our focus in the coming months? Ep 71: Did you think congressional Republicans would be emboldened by the election results to change their tepid ways of doing business?  Think again.   They actually elected the same failed leadership and focused on a ridiculously banal agenda for their first week back after the election.  In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel focuses on the opportunities that lie ahead for conservatives.  What should conservatives focus on in the coming months and what should they leave for future administrations or to the states? Daniel explains why tax reform is not something we should expend all of our capital on now because it is not a triage item and we usually wind up making things worse whenever we touch it with this crop of Republicans.  It’s better to deal with that issue wholesale through a Convention of the States and repeal of the 17th Amendment. Rather we should focus on 3 categories of issues: 1) immediate triage items t

My Thoughts on Gorsuch and Scotus: A Time to Remain Vigilant Ep 88: In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel spills his heart out on the state of the courts, what conservatives are looking for, and why Gorsuch, although a solid nominee, still doesn’t inspire full confidence that he is the best we could have done, given GOP control of the Senate.  Then again, with a Senate full of RINOs, who could have scuttled the nomination of someone in the mold of Clarence Thomas, could you really blame Trump? Moreover, the entire process demonstrate why we will never really fix the courts simply by “picking better judges.”  “The capacity of a good judge to do good is nowhere near the capacity of a bad judge to harm our constitution, society, sovereignty, and security.  Even if we had a Clarence Thomas for every Republican SCOTUS pick and for every lower court pick, an impossibility (they don’t exist), we could never combat the malfeasance of the left.  The equivalent on the right o

Are Republicans Already Blowing their 2017 mandate Ep 81: Donald Trump was on the money when he recognized that the ethics office House Republicans attempted to defang was unfair and unaccountable, but at the same time it was a dumb way to prioritize the expending of their political capital. With all that Congress has to work on, do they really have to make the weakening of the Independent Ethics Watchdog, as unfair as it— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/816298944456232960">January 3, 2017 In the first 2017 episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel explains why Republicans were right to gut the Pelosi-era, unaccountable ethics office, but at the same time the optics of the way they did it were cringe-worthy.  Republicans must remember that they will need to employ legitimate strong-arm tactics to save the country by repealing Obamacare, reforming immigration and refugee resettlement, and reclaiming power from the unelected ju

Nothing Matters in Politics but the Fine Print Ep.314: Today I have an announcement: the merger of CRTV and TheBlaze into Blaze Media. The bottom line is that we will continue to be the same fearless, independent conservative movement, now with a bigger platform, so that more people can hear the truth, particularly the fine print of politics missed by the others.    Next, I give you a more detailed breakdown of the First Step Act than anything you will hear on another network. The key lesson is that you need to understand the fine print of the policies, the legislation, and the movement behind it. Specifically, in this case, once you understand the fine print, you will see how this bill will reduce sentencing and provide early release for the worst individuals pursued by federal prosecutors in this country.  Finally, I give you the latest updates on the border crisis and the interior enforcement crisis and tie them all back into judicial supremacy, the drug crisis, and the federal cr

Democrats Chase Shiny Objects. Here's How to Build Real Power.: There’s good reason to worry about the future of democracy, and little reason to believe Democrats have a viable plan for protecting it. They built their strategy around passing a major suite of voting reforms and protections through Congress, and a few weeks back, their whole agenda collapsed in the face of the filibuster. So what now? Is there a Plan B for protecting democracy? Yes. But it begins with realizing that there is no national solution in a country that administers elections at the state and local levels. Which means it begins with realizing that many Democrats have made a mistake: They’ve focused so much on national conflicts that they’ve ceded state and local power to the right, with dangerous results. Trumpists can’t pass some big national bill putting Trump back in office, so they are organizing to win the state and local offices that will hold power over the process next time. Democracy’s defenders need t

Sovereignty invasions, state powers, and cross-state taxation Ep. 243: This is a busy week with a lot of issues to cover. We begin today’s show by noting the president has been on message when it comes to sovereignty. We explain why the president never has to tolerate an invasion and how this is indeed an invasion. He has the full moral, constitutional, and legal authority to stop all immigration at the border. Next, we move on to jailbreak and note how the courts have expanded the Fourth Amendment so much that our Founders wouldn’t recognize it. This is endangering public safety and is a big part of why we actually have an under-incarceration problem because there are so many violent criminals who go un-convicted, thanks to these court-created loopholes. Finally, we discuss the internet sales tax case.  This is the one legitimate example of how the feds were given complete power over cross-state taxation, yet states are left helpless to defend their own sovereignty against other sta

Ep 463 | Nothing Matters in Politics Until Trump Pushes Back on Judicial Tyranny: We can fight elections all we want, but they are meaningless if we continue to legitimize the unelected courts as the gods over our society. I give you three insane court rulings from this week dealing with guns, immigration, and Medicaid to show how the courts are unilaterally upending fundamental rights. What’s in the Constitution, they take out; what’s out, they put in; what’s a real right, they violate; what’s a fake right, they enshrine. Also, illegal aliens now have more rights than Americans, in violation of our most foundational principles, laws, and prior court opinions. Finally, are some of Trump’s judicial nominees not what they are hyped up to be?  Show links The illegal immigrant sex crime problem the media doesn’t want to talk about    12 reasons why the courts are irremediably broken Trump just nominated a judicial candidate who thinks gay marriage is in the Constitution

How Trump’s Justice Department Can Stand up to the Crazy Courts Ep 79: Starting things off on this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel gives a rundown of examples showing the establishing winning more control in the nascent Trump administration.  What was once a promise to drain the swamp is looking more and more like an exercise in making the worst elements of the swamp great again. While it’s important to fight for a few key conservative victories that are within reach, we must also voice our concerns early and often about harmful policies and personnel.  We can’t afford to wait six years to pushback against “our own party” like we did during the Bush years.  Next, we move onto our latest update on judicial tyranny.  There is no way to sugar-coat this.  The federal courts pose an imminent threat to our republic. It’s worse than ever. The courts are destroying our culture, inclinable rights, Constitution, and system of government.  They have already redefined marriage and

How to form a shadow government with citizens’ task forces Ep. 213: What is the solution for conservatives? How can we actually change the game when everything seems to blow up in our faces? In this episode, we inaugurate our new idea – the creation of citizens’ task forces that serve as ad hoc oversight committees of government but are formally recognized by the conservative elected officials. We explain how even the good members of Congress lack the time and resources to properly give voice to our concerns and ideas but would gladly do so if people from the outside would chip in. Shadow governments, field hearings, citizen reports, and grassroots media are some ways we can take back our republic, with the help of God. We also briefly touch on the stupidity of the internet sales tax as it heads to the Supreme Court for oral arguments this week. We also focus on the inanity of our strategy in the Middle East.   Show links A speaker’s run could galvanize this new movement How we ca

Ep. 174: "Do You Want To Be The President Who Saved Democracy?" (feat. Ari Berman)

Podcast episode

There’s Been a Massive Change in Where American Policy Gets Made: Since 2021, Democrats have controlled the House, the Senate and the presidency, and they’ve used that power to pass consequential legislation, from the American Rescue Plan to the Inflation Reduction Act. That state of affairs was exceptional: In the 50 years between 1970 and 2020, the U.S. House, Senate and presidency were only under unified party control for 14 years. Divided government has become the norm in American politics. And since Republicans won back the House in November, it is about to become the reality once again. But that doesn’t mean policymaking is going to stop — far from it. As America’s national politics have become more and more gridlocked in recent decades, many consequential policy decisions have been increasingly pushed down to the state level. The ability to receive a legal abortion or use recreational marijuana; how easy it is to join a union, purchase a firearm or vote in elections; the tax r

Smashing failed paradigms, ideas, and premises Ep. 179: Trump’s polling is going up, and not surprisingly, it coincides with a solid few months of Trump pursuing and championing conservative policies. If Trump would actually stay on message and not get distracted, he can turn around the impending doom of the midterms. In this episode of "The Conservative Conscience," we discuss how Trump is smashing failed paradigms of policy assumptions and how he can do even better to introduce fresh ideas. But that would require him to ignore some of the soap opera around him and stay on message. We give you updates on some of the latest happenings in immigration and the courts that you won’t hear about in the vacuous media. We conclude by offering an example of a failed paradigm that has become a holy grail of the political elites – counting illegal aliens in the Census. The administration has given some indications that it is open to changing this disgusting practice of stolen sovereignty. We gi
