Clickservatives: “But the Democrats are Worse” is Getting Old Ep 114
This week is full of scandals in the media, but it’s also full of Trump policy betrayals that are not being discussed in the media. Worse, they are not being discussed in the conservative media because they are too busy defending Trump from some indefensible actions while he is screwing conservatives on policy. They are defending him against the media while he has allowed Jared, Ivanka, Dina Powell, Gary Cohn, and H.R. McMaster to create the very policies outcomes, ironically, supported by tha

All of the Vices of Controlling the White House, but none of the Virtues Ep 113
So, Trump is at 35-40% approval and Democrats have opened a wide lead in the generic ballot polling. And what do we have to show for it? What have we gotten for this? In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel breaks down the latest series of betrayals. While excuse-making conservatives produce lists of their own demonstrating “the good things” the president is doing, if you look carefully, most of them are ceremonial with “no discernable policy outcome,” as the ACLU observed wi

The Comey News Cycle Embodies our Pathetic Politics Ep 112
There are so many betrayals being perpetrated by our political class that actually have discernable policy outcomes and are much more important than the Comey news. Why is nobody talking about the GOP betrayal on the border wall, health care, religious liberty, moving embassy to Jerusalem, the Paris climate accord, and of course judicial tyranny? Yet, in many respects, the Comey news and the binary hypocrisy of the parties is important to focus on and learn from because it embodies what is wron

Is the Federalist Party a Viable Alternative? Ep 111
Are you fed up with the political adultery of Republicans being nothing more than inarticulate Democrats? Many people are looking for a new party but feel there is no viable alternative on the horizon. Is that about to change? On this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we are joined by J.D. Rucker, the co-founder of the Federalist Party. He gives us an update on the state of play in building a new party and their plan to become the second, not third party, on the political scene. Thi

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

The Budget Betrayal from Hell and What to do about it Ep 109
How is it possible to get humiliated in a major budget battle by a party that has no power? In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we answer that question. It’s not that Republicans are cowardly or obsequious; it’s that they fundamentally don’t share our values. Thus, the Democrat outcomes are their outcomes as well. Moreover, don’t blame this all on congressional Republicans, although they are certainly an act in perfidy. President Trump is just as much at fault, and in this episod

Conservative Movement Reaching a Breaking Point Ep 108
The only thing worse than Republicans selling us out, bastardizing our values, breaking promises and lying about it, and downright making our views unpopular with the public, is for us to become content with and even excuse this behavior. Thanks to the soft bigotry of low expectations, much of our movement is now pacified by merely finding a few random roses Republicans throw at us amidst the endless acts of political adultery on the legacy issues that matter. The binary idolatry of “well, the

A Make or Break Week for President Trump Ep 107
This is the week when we will see the dichotomy between the parties play out: whereas Democrats seek power even when they don’t have it; Republicans seek office even when they have power. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel breaks down the week ahead of budget fights, taxes, and health care. After accomplishing almost nothing in this Congress, the budget is the only opportunity for Republicans to actually fulfill their promises. This is the week for Trump to either rise to

Are Conservatives Headed Towards a Nightmare Scenario? Ep 106
What’s worse than watching Democrat policies – both on the domestic and foreign policy fronts – being implemented? Watching them being implemented by a Republican president. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel talks about the results of the special election in GA-6 and demonstrates why Republicans are headed towards a nightmare scenario if they don’t change course. On the one hand, they are perceived to have full control of government, a perception which has energized the

How Many More Good Men have to Die on the Sword of Islamic Civil Wars? Ep 105
Tired of the myopic focus on Syria and the platitudes over whether to intervene or not? In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel is joined by Patrick Poole, the senior national security correspondent for PJ Media and one of the foremost experts on the Middle East. (whose views are unfortunately never represented among the smart set in DC). Patrick discusses the folly of focusing on any one player in a vacuum and the need to a take a holistic approach putting our interests first.

Syria, Gorsuch, Senate Republicans, and the Need to Reform the Judiciary Ep 104
In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we explore a number of important issues – from the engagement in Syria to the judicial filibuster, the prospect of Justice Neil Gorsuch, and the need for judicial reform. The images emanating from Syria are horrible, but there are a lot of important questions that must be answered before we jump in and act on emotion. Without answering these critical questions, we risk repeating the mistakes of Iraq, destroying our military and political capital

Budget betrayal reveals everything you need to know about phony Republicans Ep 103
How is it possible to get hit by a parked car? It’s not possible, of course, unless you do it on purpose. The same applies to Trump and Republicans losing the upcoming budget battle. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we explore the mechanics of the budget battle and how the perfidy and betrayal demonstrates that Republicans don’t share our values. It is impossible to lose a government shutdown fight when you control all three branches unless you don’t want to win or unless yo

Purists, Low Expectations, and the Triumph of New York Values Ep 102
In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel explains the depth and profundity of the betrayal of conservatives. There is so much capitulation going on, it’s hard to keep up. Worse, Republicans are using their operation to smear conservatives and project on them their own faults. Facts and details of legislation no longer matter. Lies and deceptions reign supreme. The core of the problem is that we have now accepted the soft bigotry of low expectations from Republicans. As long

The Fight to Repeal Obamacare is not Over, Not by a Long Shot Ep101
The Freedom Caucus has done a lot more than merely expose this party, the speaker, and the president as frauds on the health care issue. They have demonstrated that the entire modus operandi of the Republican Party is a sham. They run on campaign slogans to distinguish themselves from Democrats during elections but never have any intention of actually rolling back the leviathan. Nonetheless, despite an inarticulate president and a phony party, Daniel explains why conservatives must not give u

Standing for nothing more than “Not Democrat” is Making us like Democrats. Literally. Ep 100
In this special broadcast, Daniel celebrates the 100th episode of the Conservative Conscience. We outline a vision of what we are looking to do here – speak the truth, give a broad philosophical vision of conservatism as it relates to very specific information and issues and build a new movement that actually stands for something more than just being ‘slightly to the right’ of Democrats. Tying in the entire premise of this show, Daniel goes through the news of the day with Obamacare and Nei

The Free Market Solution to Pre-Existing Conditions Ep 99
In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel is joined by Professor John Cochrane of the Hoover Institute, an expert economist on health care policy. In a refreshing change from the typical inside-Washington health care discussion, Daniel and the professor actually move beyond the false choice of the existing paradigm and envision what a true free market would look like. Professor Cochrane gives a synopsis of his plan for free markets to deal with pre-existing conditions through the

The Agony of a Conservative Soul Trapped in a Republican Body Ep 98
This week we learned what it means to be a conservative soul trapped in the corrosive body of the Republican Party. What Republicans do is viewed by the public as conservative because of the phony binary choice, but in fact conservatives get blamed for the liberal rhetorical and policy problems with their proposals, which are messaged to the public as conservative! Nowhere is this more evident than with Obamacare, as Republicans are selling retention of Obamacare as repeal of Obamacare, saddli

A week full of dastardly lies from establishment Republicans Ep 97
In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel explains how the lies Paul Ryan is telling about Obamacare are reflective of a broader terminal illness within the political system: the idolatry of the binary choice. Going through the history of primary challenges and budget fights since 2011, Daniel explores how Republicans and their elite allies use conservative talking points in order to get people to buy into their electoral scam, but then renege on them when the inflection point is a

Why TrumpCare is even worse politics and policy than Obamacare Ep 96
How quickly Republicans have accepted every premise of government run healthcare. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel goes through the entire timeline of the GOP RINOCare bill as well as each element – the regulations, subsidies, spending, and mandates – to demonstrate how the political and policy outcome of this bill will be worse than Obamacare. This is not just Obamacare-lite. It never repeals Obamacare to begin with and the few things it tweaks will exacerbate the ex

How Trump can Match his Successful Speech with Action Ep 95
Everyone agrees Trump gave a well-received speech before Congress on Tuesday night. Now it’s time for him to follow that up with action. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel discusses how Trump can use the bully pulpit to promote specific policies on the most important issues, such as immigration, health care, national security, taxes, and regulations. He must first get everyone in his administration in line with his agenda, formulate specific policies, and then make a seri
