Between the good bills we have introduced in red states and Trump’s executive orders, the sky is the limit as to what we can accomplish. But if we sit back as pundits and don’t push activism, none of this will come to fruition. We tackle the courts, budget reconciliation, the lack of a vision from congressional Republicans, and the need for Trump to offer affirmative direction. I prove once again that the best policies from Trump so far will be terminated if we don’t embed them in the budget bill. Next, we go through the latest news on immigration enforcement and how Republicans are trying to ..read more

Today, I offer everything you need to know about the House budget reconciliation proposal. It will blow a massive hole in the deficit, exacerbate inflation, provide Democrats with a good campaign message, and leave us with no accomplishments. Instead, I lay out a vision of what Trump should do with welfare reform, ending foreign worker programs, cutting all global warming regulations, repealing Obamacare, and using the tax code to reform health care. Trump is uniquely suited to use the bully pulpit and message transformational change. If we fail to take this approach, we are doomed to a life o ..read more

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 Republica ..read more

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 ..read more

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 reconc ..read more

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 tim ..read more

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 t ..read more

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 ..read more

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 m ..read more

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 ..read more
