I had the privilege of filling in for Steve Deace on his nightly radio show.  We really covered the gambit of important topics and touched a nerve with many conservatives who are feeling dejected from the entire political process.  Included in our discussion:

  • What is the real reason Donald Trump has been winning so far and why, at the same time, every conservative primary challenger has failed to unseat an establishment incumbent
  • How early voting and open primaries are disenfranchising conservatives
  • A conversation with one of the few stars running for Senate this year, Rep. Ron DeSantis, who is running to replace Marco Rubio in Florida.  He shared with us his experiences watching fellow colleagues get sucked into the group think mentality of the DC political swamp. 
  • A full dissection of how the entire judiciary, not just Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court, is a threat to democracy.  I gave a sneak preview of my upcoming book, Stolen Sovereignty.   
  • How conservatives are caught between the false choice of the establishment elites and a French-style revolution.  We explore the fundamental differences between a revolution rooted in American constitutional principles and a French revolution rooted in nothing but chaos and raw power.
  • What Ted Cruz needs to do in order to change the trajectory of this race.
  • Our resident delegate math nerd, Rob Eno, called in to discuss his fascinating research on what could happen at a contested convention. 

We closed the show with some inspiration from one of my historical heroes, Justice Joseph Story, one of the leading constitutional scholars of the early 1800s:

“Let us never forget, that our constitutions of government are solemn instruments, addressed to the common sense of the people and designed to fix, and perpetuate their rights and their liberties. They are not to be frittered away to please the demagogues of the day. They are not to be violated to gratify the ambition of political leaders. They are to speak in the same voice now, and for ever. They are of no man's private interpretation. They are ordained by the will of the people; and can be changed only by the sovereign command of the people.”
