Permanent separation: A conversation with a forgotten victim of illegal immigration and sanctuary cities Ep. 247
The weight of the entire political universe has come down on the side of the illegal alien families who are separated as a result of their own callous actions violating our sovereignty and endangering our security. Yet nobody wants to focus on the victims of illegal immigrants. We have committed a focus on victims of crime and illegal immigration here at the Conservative Conscience and are honored to talk today with Aileen Smith.
Aileen and her husband Zach lost their unborn son Dimitri in 2012 after an illegal alien crashed into them and severely injured the passengers. This was unbelievably avoidable, because the illegal driver was arrested eight times for DUI and was never turned over to ICE thanks to sanctuary policies in New Mexico. Aileen discusses what it’s like to go through the personal and financial ruin of seeking justice from murderers. It’s especially bad when the perpetrator is a member of a protected class. The victims get no help in these cases because it’s not politically correct to do so. There needs to be a greater outcry for the victims of illegal immigration, the security problems of sanctuary cities, and the need to get tougher on drunk driving in general.

So, who should be the pick for the Supreme Court? Ep. 246
Marbury v. Madison, judicial review v. judicial supremacy, the history and role of the courts, what’s at stake, what will change, and who should we pick? If you love court news, you will want to tune in to this show. We give a long and broad look at the trends and issues in both the lower courts and Supreme Court and discuss, based on this background, who we need. Most importantly, we need certainty.

Discussing the border crisis with a border agent Ep. 245
Today we are joined by Brandon Judd, the president of the National Border Patrol Council, who is also an active duty agent. He sets the record straight about the policies of the Border Patrol dealing with families and how fundamentally nothing has changed, except that the media’s coverage is hampering the Border Patrol's job and empowering the drug cartels while fueling the very unfortunate outcomes for illegal immigrants that they claim to oppose.
Brandon’s central point is that our policies, magnets for bogus asylum claims, are used by the cartels to tie up the border agents and create gaps in our security. That is when they are sending in the really bad people who pay a lot of money to be smuggled over the border. Thus, open-border policies and the media are exacerbating the crisis and hurting everyone. They have caught thousands of criminals just this year, and those are just the people who already had criminal records in America. There’s no way of knowing how many have done bad things in their home countries. And with the surge of bogus asylum seekers, it is harder for Border Patrol to apprehend these people.
We also briefly touch on Anthony Kennedy’s retirement, with some initial thoughts on what’s next.

Winning important SCOTUS battles, but losing the judicial war Ep. 244
Today, we digest the blockbuster Supreme Court finale.
While we are winning some short-term battles at the courts, if we don’t get vigilant about the problems with the lower courts, we will still lose the war. We dissect each important element of Trump v. Hawaii and preview some other cases. We also showcase the hypocrisy of Anthony Kennedy on religious liberty when it comes into conflict with his protected classes.

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 states. It’s all about understanding the proper role of the individual, the states, and the federal government in our system.

The most humane way to shut down illegal immigration and put drug cartels out of business Ep. 242
There’s a very elegant but simple way of ending illegal immigration. We need to first understand the problems with cross-border migration and its effects on Americans, the drug cartels, and the migrants.
We begin by noting how Trump is, so far, placing Democrats in a trap and will successfully force them to be on the wrong side of immigration or be exposed as frauds.
Then we discuss the long-term plan that needs to be implemented. We must announce that we are shutting down all forms of immigration at our land border and that all asylum requests must be routed to a new facility off our soil. There is no way asylum will ever work for us or the legitimate applicants if we have the courts and cartels creating mayhem. It must be taken off our soil.

Trump has a golden opportunity to go on offense with border security Ep. 241
Now that the media finally cares about the border, albeit only to virtue-signal about the needs of illegals, not Americans, Trump has an opportunity to focus people’s attention on what needs to be done -- to treat not just the symptom, but the underlying problem.
In this episode, we discuss the things Trump can do unilaterally. This is not a problem with laws; this is a problem with liberal lower court judges. Trump can challenge this in Texas under the Fifth Circuit. He can also use NAFTA negotiations to put the screws to Mexico and demand that it cooperate. Sovereignty comes first, and there is nothing preventing Trump from stopping the invasion.
Finally, we introduce a biblical discussion on immigration and show how those ignorant of the original language of the Bible are adulterating its precepts.

Theres no such thing as lukewarm hell on immigration Ep. 240
“Love truth and peace” [Zachariah 8:19]. You cannot pursue peace and compassion without having the truth about the reality of an issue. This is why we bring in Jessica Vaughan of Center for Immigration Studies, one of the foremost experts on immigration, to discuss how the “compassion” of fostering more cross-border migration is cruel to everyone.
Jessica gives us an insider’s view on how border security and interior enforcement works. She discusses the tragedy of suspending cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities and how it is responsible for fueling the crisis with drugs and gangs.
We also explore ways the administration can be more consistent on closing the border and not incur the media problems. They must be tough and not muddled. There is no such thing as lukewarm hell in politics, especially regarding a contentious issue.

What about the American children “separated from their parents” in the grave? Ep. 239
In today’s show, we lay bare the truth about the focus on “separating children at the border.” The entire argument is built on lies, misunderstanding of the border crisis and its cause, and a perversion of morality and priorities.
We explain how it is the very policies of the virtue-signalers that have caused this crisis and continue to worsen it. By promoting amnesty for children, we not only caused the drug and gang crisis for Americans, we hurt the migrants as well. The only way to stop the separating of everyone’s families is to deter the behavior and end the entire amnesty agenda, not intensify it.
Also, we provide exclusive data on the DACA recipients that paints a very different picture of who they are and government malfeasance in obfuscating their true identities. We also provide ICE data that shows directly how the collapse of interior enforcement led to the worst drug crisis in America’s history.
Finally, we give an update on the weak-on-crime agenda, which is rooted in the same false sense of morality as the amnesty agenda.

Fire and brimstone from Chip Roy on border security and health care freedom Ep. 238
Today we are joined by Chip Roy, who demonstrates how a Republican should run for office in this climate. He brings with him his passionate agenda for health care freedom, putting America’s security first in immigration, cutting spending, and fighting for judicial reform and religious liberty. He shows how the “compassion” of liberals for pre-existing conditions is really cruelty to everyone and does nothing but empower a corrupt third-party government-insurance cartel. He also demonstrates how there is nothing compassionate about the amnesty agenda when it is the source of so much mayhem and empowers evildoers on both sides of the border.
Roy promises to be a different type of congressman who will completely reset the baseline of what we fight for and how we message it.
We also discuss religious liberty and how a new Arizona court ruling proves our concerns about the Masterpiece decision to be correct. If we don’t fight legislatively for religious liberty, the foundation of our country will be lost.
We conclude by warning about jailbreak and amnesty, both of which movements expand in strength and grow every day.
