On the Cusp of Autocracy: The threats to democracy in the US are building. The response is to call for new laws that first will require changes in the rules of the Senate. If we can get those changes, we should. But what if we can't? What is plan B? How do we avoid locking in changes to our system from which there is no recovery? Will holding Trump and Trumpists accountable for their abuses be any part of that. We discuss with democracy expert Norm Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute, Dr. Kavita Patel of the Brookings Institution and formerly of the Obama White House and Ryan Goodman of NYU Law School and "Just Security." It's a sobering but essential listen.  Support this show <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio">http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio</a>. <hr> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='n by Deep State Radio

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 series of high profile policy speeches speaking to the morality of those policies in order to browbeat Congress into submission. That is how Reagan successfully used the bully pulpit. Specifically, we discuss how Trump can articulate a vision for free market health care and channel his populism into a conservative message that shows how the Left is responsible for destroying innovation in health care.

Ep 469 | Why Would We Bring In Immigrants to Live on Welfare?: Immigration should benefit America, not drain our public resources. That's why down through history, we did not let in immigrants who would become a "public charge" — dependent on welfare. I discuss the history, law, and context for today’s rule, announced by the Trump administration, to enforce our public charge laws. It’s common sense and quite modest compared to the actual law, yet the media is going insane over it. I explain what the rule will do and how a huge amount of public charge will still be left on the table. Then, of course, there is illegal immigration, which remains untouched by this proposal.

The Left doesn’t want to enforce the terms of the 1986 amnesty There is a huge number of immigrants on welfare Details of Trump’s public charge rule Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved. by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Moving Trump in the right direction on security and the economy Ep. 235: In this episode, we cover everything from recent primaries to jailbreak, immigration, and the economy. We look at all the issues through the prism of Trump’s good instincts and the opportunity to do good, but how, because we don’t have a real conservative movement, the president drifts. Often it is conservative groups leading him astray. Our main discussion today is why despite the job market boom, GDP growth is still mediocre. We use an analogy of a topped-off tree to explain how our economy can have good periods of job growth despite the venture socialism, but ultimately our growth is permanently capped thanks to the debt, dependency, market distortions, and misallocation of resources. Show links The problem with the primaries Tax cuts help, but GDP will not spike without freeing up economy What conservatives should do on religious liberty after court ruling Section 402 of jailbreak will place an open-e by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz
