We Are Descendants of Rome Whether We Like It Or Not

Contains Exclusive: Audio, Video Topics: , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - The framers of the Constitution were well aware of what happened to the Roman Republic and then Empire, and they wanted to avoid the same fate and avoid having another Ceaser ruling the United States. George Washington, sometimes called the American Cincinnatus because of his similarity to the Roman dictator Cincinnatus because of their willingness to give up near-absolute power, was the perfect candidate to be the first President b….Continue

Caller Larry Wants To Kick California Out Of The Union

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - I would imagine you could easily carve five or six states out of California, piece of cake. Well, if you’re going to remain in the United States, then each one of those states gets its own two United States senators. You’re diluting the power. You don’t have to have just Dianne Feinstein and Babs Boxer. You get to elect your two members of the United States Senate. Check out today's transcript for the rest...….Continue

American Exceptionalism Is Not A Compliment

Contains Exclusive: Audio, Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This is a very dangerous thing that we have done. We are flirting with disaster. We are flirting with human misery. We are not the exception to the rule of human nature, sir. We are humans. We are fallible. Human nature does not change over continents. In our arrogance and saying things like you just said, we make ourselves “We’re the exception. We would never rain that kind of tyranny.” S….Continue

Why Doesn't Texas Just Secede Already?

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - It makes no sense to me. This is another great example of how the propaganda and “to the victor go the spoils” mentality that it has weighed on the heads of Texans for 150 years. You drive around Houston and you’ll see secede stickers all over the place. No one is actually talking about doing something about it. I’d say there are about 16 trillion immediate reasons why you ought to do something a….Continue

Courage Needs To Go Beyond Facebook and Twitter Updates

Contains Exclusive: Audio, Video Topics: , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Video and Audio - Brad Birzer has an article at The Imaginative Conservative entitled "Reflections on A Republic Divided to the Point of Collapse". In the article, Brad makes the point that our nation has always been divided, much as it is now, and the only time that men from different parts of the country truly work together is when they must sacrifice themselves for the good of the nation, like in a time of war. We're not sure if Brad is trying to ….Continue

What Has Diversity Yielded?

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Diversity for the pursuit of numerical diversity is going to yield exactly what it is yielding here today. This is why many, if not all, of the founding generation were loathed. They feared, fought against, tried to guard against universal suffrage, meaning everyone voting on everything. They knew what it would yield to. They’d seen what happened. They’d seen what happened recently in the Helvetic R….Continue

Mike Church is Convinced Texas is Poised to Secede

Contains Exclusive: Audio, Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Audio and Transcript - There are people in Texas now that are talking about secession, talking about Texas the nation, that I believe are really serious about it. They’re serious about it not just because of the election or the results of the election. They’re serious about it because they believe that the way of life they have enjoyed and some of the traditions and customs that make them Texan is threatened by the menacing general government o….Continue

What Drives Illegal Immigration is Job Regulation, Taxes, and Lazy American Kids

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - When you import the illegal who does not support republicanism -- there is not a republican who has lived under socialist despotism and some form of redistributionist existence their entire life. This is going to be their experience and it’s going to be what they think is normal. They just think the United States is a little more peaceful and less of their fellow men or man are executed or suffer bodily harm in the process. You dilu….Continue

Hey Jeff Kuhner - "Regardless of Who Wins There is No Republic"

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Jeffrey Kuhner, “Obama and the future of our republic.” I’m going to say this again, we do not have a republic. I don’t care how many battle hymns you play to it. I do not care how many times you recite the Pledge of Allegiance with the word republic in it. That does not make it so. We are just so historically ignorant. We just repeat republic and don’t even bother to look it up. Look it up. I’ll tell you where you c….Continue

Our Duty is to Refound the Republic

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - As I say at the outset, in the first chapter of What Lincoln Killed: Episode I, there are two types of Americans: Jeffersonians and Lincolnians. About 95, 97 percent of the population are Lincolnians. They are empiricists. They believe in the power of the almighty federal government. They subject themselves to it. They have been subjugated by it and they have come to peace and made their terms with it.….Continue

New Orleans Is NOT Sinking

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - The way to save the City of New Orleans, number one, is to blow a hole in that levee and let that water come through. It’s going to have to happen anyway. Let the silt begin to refortify the delta. If you don’t, what you have is a bowl. The next time one of those levees cracks as a result of a hurricane may be the end of the Crescent City. You notice that when the great flood of 2005 after Hurricane….Continue

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Those of you that so desperately want women to go over there and fight wars, why don’t you prize and value your women, your daughters and your mothers? I don’t understand the infatuation. There are those that say, “We’re supposed to be libertarians and you’re a fake libertarian. If someone wants to do it, then in this country they have the right to do it.” No, if someone is blind, they don’….Continue

Why Not Rethink American Unions... Brad Birzer Has

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Audio and Transcript - If the U.S. did actually break up in or after 2012, I would expect some of this to be accurate, but not all of it.  Perhaps the entire eastern / northeastern corridor, starting in D.C. and working its way north / northeast might form one government (probably not a republic).  The southern states, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri might form a republic.  Texas, though, might well go on its own.  The northern states of th….Continue

Russell Kirk - Restoring Virtue

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - We do not demand moral excellence as a people anymore do we, ladies and gentlemen?  In very few instances do we demand moral excellence, and when we find it, we reject it.  When you find someone that is of moral turpitude, what do we do?  We make fun of them.  We look for their human weakness, and when we find it, we exploit it to say, “How morally virtuous are you?”  That is not the essence of mora….Continue

What Is A State? And How Is It Sovereign?

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - I’ve been on this experimental tangent here for the last, I don’t know how long you’ve been listening, but I’ve been on this assignment in trying to explain what it is that makes a state and how it is that governments are formed in sovereign states.  If you understand that from the Jeffersonian point of view, then to me it is impossible to reconcile the current leviathan and all its various agencies….Continue

What is the Proper Role of Military Power for a Republic? - Winston Elliott III

Contains Exclusive: Transcript Topics: , , ,

Mandeville, LA - Exclusive Transcript - Winston Elliot III is the father of Winston Elliot IV, who is currently deployed in Afghanistan.  He has, as I believe Obama says, skin in the Afghanistan game.  Winston is asking the question, what is a republic?  Does a republic do certain things?  Here it is “What is the proper role of military power for a Republic?” Someone should actually ask this question of Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney.  I think it’s a valid question today.….Continue
