The Republicans and people like Sen Mitch McConnell never learn. They think they are going to buy peace with the Democrats. Radical leftists like Bernie Sanders are demanding that President-Elect Donald Trump’s nominees agree with their left wing agenda, especially when it comes to climate change and healthcare. Sanders is an old time Marxist who believes that healthcare is a right. It can’t be a right because rights are not something recipients get as a matter of government dictate and because you have other human beings involved. What’re you gonna do, enslave them? Force them to service that right? Just ask veterans if their rights and government controlled, Soviet-style healthcare is being serviced properly. After that, President Obama is calling the Netanyahu government in Israel right wing. Benjamin Netanyahu is no right winger but is a solid conservative who believes in defending his country unlike Obama. Obama is saying that Israel can’t be both Jewish and Democratic and wants Israel to cede part of its territory to the Palestinians. What country gives territory back? This is absolute insanity. Finally, the populist nationalists say we ought to work with leftist Democrats. However what we really need to do is defeat them. Whether it is slavery, Jim Crow, Communism or Social Security, the Democrat Party is an extremely destructive party. The Democrat party for the most part has been a very evil party. 150 years ago the Democrat Party was the most powerful force for slavery. 80 years ago the most powerful force for the KKK and nearly 50 years ago there were Democrats who opposed the emancipation of black people. In 1964, the Republicans in the minority carried the Voting Rights Act across the finish line.

Chelsea Manning is a traitor. And it’s a disgrace that President Obama commuted his sentence Tuesday. Manning leaked classified documents detailing American military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan – among other sensitive information – that put American lives in danger, betraying his fellow soldiers and his country. Will liberals finally step up to the plate and either defend what Obama did or for once in their pathetic lives to condemn him? Is there a single tweet by Trump that comes close to the betrayal of Obama by releasing Manning? What Obama has done is unparalleled in U.S. history. Later, Obama is pardoning Oscar Lopez Rivera, a former domestic terrorist who was involved with the FALN, a Puerto Rican terrorist organization who set off 130 bombs in the U.S. Now we have a terrorist being released who has no contrition. Joe Connor calls in to discuss the FALN and how they murdered his father.

What’s being done to President-Elect Trump right now is unprecedented. Over the weekend, civil rights hero Rep. John Lewis swiped at Trump saying he didn’t believe Trump’s presidency was legitimate. People are now attacking Trump for attacking Lewis, but it was Lewis who attacked Trump first, Trump only responded. Since Trump won the election in November, the statists have been in full revolt. The left wanted Hillary Clinton as president and to continue the Obama agenda and live off the fat of the land. The media, entertainment, academia, and the federal bureaucracy are doing everything they can to delegitimize Trump’s presidency. After that, Trump wants to give everyone healthcare. Whenever anyone says everybody ought to have healthcare, it tells us we have lost our sense of personal responsibility. We teach it to our family, but the government teaches us otherwise. The socialized healthcare in the U.S. is becoming more centralized and less responsive. This is what happens when government gets in between you and your doctor. Just look at what is going on right now in the UK. They are turning away people in need of Cancer surgery.

There needs to be a 12th proposed Amendment included in the Article V Convention of States. As result of President Obama’s despotism, the 20th Amendment should be changed to tighten the time between when the new president is elected and the time he takes office. The Founders didn’t know about Obama, a man with a dictator’s mentality. A new president should be sworn in 30 days after the election. There also needs to be another amendment which regulates the extent to which an outgoing president can add additional regulations before leaving office. Obama has already done more damage on his way out the door than anyone before him. After that, while no one was looking, Homeland Security head Jeh Johnson initiated a federal takeover of state and local elections under the banner of a crisis. Obama and his administration hate federalism. They hate state sovereignty. They hate individual liberty. They hate mobility. They want uniformity, conformity, state-centralized Leftism. Later, the Chicago Police Department is under attack by AG Loretta Lynch. Apparently every police department in America is racist and violent. This phony Attorney General, is slamming the nation’s police on the way out of the door. Finally, we are enshrining in law the left’s agenda. The difference between leftwing policy and law is being blurred. They claim that what they do is compassionate and humane and what conservatives do is the opposite. The problem is government intervention not more government. The left’s medicine is not only poisonous, but they are focusing on all the wrong things.

The Left is not about the welfare of people! The Left is about tyranny. Thursday, President Obama told the people of Cuba desperate to escape that there’s no way you’re getting out because he ended the “wet foot, dry foot” policy for Cuban refugees. The longstanding immigration policy had allowed for any Cuban who escaped the oppressive overseas regime and made it to American soil to become a legal U.S. resident. What happens when Cubans are returned to Cuba? Some are killed or sent to prison, but they and their families end up with some horrific punishment. Though the Left will praise this president as one of the greatest to ever grace the Oval Office, others will remember indefensible acts such as this one as characteristic of a failed and ugly presidency. What other people will suffer as a result of Obama’s legacy building? Later, we actually have people who support the fascists and think they are patriotic when they embrace Vladimir Putin. Conservatives that love Putin are phony conservatives. Also, Wilbur Ross, President elect Trump's pick for Commerce Secretary, is a crony capitalist, and this view should not be controversial. Ross is just another centralized government crony who will harm our economy and economic environment. Who is going to run the 5 year industrial communist plan that Ross favors? Finally, AG Loretta Lynch is opening up an investigation on FBI Director James Comey’s writing of a letter on Hillary’s emails to Congress. Lynch is unleashing Michael Horowitz on Comey to show that if you cross the left and the Democrat party, you will pay.

It’s time that we stand our ground in defending the legitimacy of President Elect Donald Trump's election. The praetorian guard media, the Democrats, and Hollywood are seeking a coup of sorts against Trump. What the left seeks to do is drive issues of controversy. They’re laying the foundation, not only to discredit Trump, but to impeach him down the road. We conservatives need to rally around Trump, not for every issue, not for every nominee, but for the legitimacy of the election, for our country, for our Constitution. What we saw on Tuesday by a Buzzfeed report was an attempt to overturn the election and to destroy Trump’s presidency. Later, Sen Cory Booker broke over 200 years of precedent when he testified against his colleague Sen Jeff Sessions. Booker has done nothing of note to warrant him passing judgement on Sessions. Sessions went after the KKK in Alabama and did a lot more for civil rights than Booker ever has done. Booker’s accusations are appalling and baseless. According to him, if you are conservative, you are not qualified to serve as Attorney General.

Sen Jeff Sessions is hit it out of the park at his confirmation hearing on Tuesday in D.C. The Democrats haven’t laid a glove on him. Sessions has been very solid and has been able to move from one attempted smear to another. He comes across as an extremely likable guy unlike Sen Al Franken. In addition, Sen Cory Booker is testifying against Sessions in an unprecedented move where a Senate colleague testifies against a fellow Senator. Booker is a lightweight and is being hypocritical. It wasn’t long ago, last year, that Booker and Sessions gave a civil rights award together and Booker praised Sessions. Booker didn’t mind standing on the stage with Jeff Sessions or praising him then, but now he has so much contempt for Sessions. After that, Sen Patrick Leahy grills Sessions on sexual assault to try to attack President-Elect Donald Trump. Yet where was Leahy when Bill Clinton was in office? Leahy and other liberals don’t stand for women. Finally, Senator Ted Cruz calls in to defend Jeff Sessions against the Democrats baseless attacks and accusations and President Obama’s attack on Israel.

With Senate confirmations of Trump’s cabinet appointments beginning Tuesday, all indicators point to one candidate inevitably receiving especially intense scrutiny—Sen. Jeff Sessions. The Left will undoubtedly bring up the Perry County, Alabama “racist prosecution” case. But, in fact, it is those who manufacture the charges against Sessions that are the racists! They are the ones who fear Sessions, not because he is a racist, but because he is a conservative. Also, Meryl Streep’s speech against President Elect Donald Trump was bad acting by a liberal partisan hack. Streep, while pointing out an alleged mistake made by Trump never said anything about President Obama’s DOJ arming Mexican drug lords, and Obama contributing to the rise of ISIS. Later, the Obama administration is contributing enough Uranium to Russia for them to make 10 nuclear weapons. How is it that Obama gets all this enormous power to act unilaterally during his final days?

Steve Kastenbaum calls in to give us the latest on the shooting in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Esteban Santiago, a former Puerto Rican National Guardsman, killed 5 and wounded 8 others. Santiago retrieved his firearm from his checked bag and then began opening fire on the victims. He had refused mental health treatment in the past. The lives of these victims’ families have been ruined forever. After that, James Rosen calls in to talk about the intelligence report on Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. What did the Obama administration do to prevent the Russian hacking? If protecting an American election is key—and it is absolutely key—then what effective steps did Obama take to deter the cyberwarfare? Obama and the Democrats have been whining for months now about the Russians helping Donald Trump win the presidency, yet they still refuse to look themselves in the mirror and acknowledge their own faults. Vladimir Putin is our enemy - he’s threatening the West, had cyber-attacks done against America and wants to make Russia Great again. If we are to put America first, why embrace Putin? There should be no love from Americans for him. Finally, Bill Gertz calls in to talk about his book, iWar:War and Peace in the Information Age.

the absolute horrific racist attack on a developmentally disabled man in Chicago is the latest example of the collapsing of the civil society in Chicago under Democratic policies. Where's President Obama, Loretta Lynch, or the civil rights division on this? Why aren’t they speaking out? To get a comment of disgust and outrage out of Obama is like pulling teeth. Obama didn’t pick up the phone to call the young man who was tortured but he did call a professional football player who came out of the closet. Obama will go down in history as the nation’s first African American president, but he leaves us with increased racial tensions, a country economically on its back, and enemies abroad stronger than ever. After that, Catherine Herridge, Fox News’ chief intelligence correspondent calls in to discuss the hearing on the Russian hacking and cyber-attacks. The Russians, Chinese and all enemies of the U.S. have taken advantage of our weakness under the Obama administration.
