The Iran Nuclear deal is the most devastating treaty in modern times. The survivability of the West is at stake with this deal, but the Obama administration doesn’t care. They continue to deceive the American people and their lying is amounting to a scandal worse than Watergate. Sen. Bob Corker was one of the Republicans who surrendered Congress’s treaty making power in the execution of the Iran Deal. Now, Corker is being considered as a vice presidential running mate for Donald Trump, but Trump should keep his distance from this guy. Also, that President Obama is going to visit Hiroshima. Will he stop at Pearl Harbor on his way? Obama has no appreciation for the U.S whatsoever and is just using his position to eviscerate our country and apologize.

Governor Pat McCrory of North Carolina deserves the full support of this country in suing the Department of Justice for its government overreach. McCrory is being threatened by AG Loretta Lynch to give up on the common sense statute that only men should go to the men’s room and only women to the women’s room. Governor McCrory calls in and says that the Human Rights Campaign is pushing the transgender agenda that opposes the common sense bathroom legislation that North Carolina is trying to promote. Americans should remember when liberals used to say they believed in privacy rights and that government should stay out of the bedroom when it came to abortion and contraception issues; yet now they want to get in the business of dictating what should be done in the bathroom. After that, HUD and Julian Castro are trying to nationalize suburbs and force them to provide lower income housing. Not only is the federal government trying to control bathrooms, and automobiles, but they want to change our local communities as well.

Donald Trump’s cult of personality is not enough to persuade conservatives to vote for him. Trump promotes Richard Nixon’s domestic policies and George McGovern’s foreign policy. What’s conservative about that? Trump isn’t owed the full support of the Republican Party because he only got 42% of the Republican vote. If he wants the other 58%, he needs to earn it. And he can earn it by telling conservatives how he will fight for them. He is one of the weakest nominees in the history of the Republican Party. Browbeating conservatives into supporting him is not going to work. Conservatives don’t want to hear Donald Trump catering to liberals, they want to hear him talk about private property rights, support the Constitution, and support Reagan economic policies. After that, the battle of Iwo Jima should be a reminder to Americans why their rights and this country are so important. The men who died there did not die for us to throw away our liberties or cave in to what is popular.

Donald Trump needs to show conservatives that he is going to advance at least some of our fundamental principles. Trump is reaching out to Bernie Sanders supporters and trade unions so why not conservatives? In addition, Trump has become inconsistent on the issue of minimum wage saying that he will consider it and also backing off part of his original tax plan. Trump should not support the minimum wage and should stand by his original tax plan which was good. This is the time for Trump to make his case and not buckle to the liberal media. Also, when Trump does good things he should be praised. However, we never ignored the mistakes of George W. Bush, Mitch McConnell or Ronald Reagan. As conservatives we are not attacking Trump, but want to see him move in a pro-freedom and pro-capitalism direction. After that, Paul Ryan is not supporting Donald Trump just yet. He wants to see Donald Trump display that he has conservative principles and can unite the Republican Party. Paul Ryan is right on this and shouldn’t be attacked. Finally, Pete Hegseth calls in to discuss his new book, In the Arena: Good Citizens, a Great Republic, and How One Speech Can Reinvigorate America.

If Donald Trump wants conservatives to vote for him, he needs to earn conservative votes. Trump needs to reassure conservatives that he will advance our principles as president. It’s up to Trump to reach out to us and explain what he is going to do to strengthen our republic. And if he doesn’t win over conservatives, he’s not going to win in November. Also, media pundits are now saying Ted Cruz’s political career is over if he doesn’t endorse Trump. It’s ironic that Cruz is now expected to make amends when it was Trump who insulted Cruz’s wife and falsely accused his father of plotting with Lee Harvey Oswald. After that, Navy Seal Charles Keating IV was killed in Iraq while rescuing people from ISIS. Keating enlisted in the armed forces after 9/11 and was the grandson of financier and WWII pilot Charles Keating Jr. Later, Donald Trump is now open to increasing the minimum wage. Earlier in November, he was against any changes and said it was too high. The minimum wage is a direct attack on young people and minorities, so why is Trump for it now?

It was primary night Tuesday in Indiana with Donald Trump winning and Ted Cruz dropping out of the race. There is little question that Donald Trump will now be the Republican nominee for President of the United States. Conservatives have again been denied a truly conservative candidate for the presidency. Donald Trump has to figure out how to unite conservatives behind his campaign. So far, Trump has failed to do so. Trump brought up a National Enquirer story that accuses Ted Cruz’s father of being in cooperation with Lee Harvey Oswald in JFK’s assassination. This is insanity and the media that are promoting this are humiliating themselves; they should be ashamed. Also, we are losing this country and have failed to get out the conservative Reagan message during this election. Instead we experience endless controversy and static.

Governor Mike Pence of Indiana calls into discuss his endorsement of Ted Cruz and his own upcoming re-election battle for governor. Pence's endorsement was a very good, but it’s being spun by the pseudo-conservative media and other media as tepid. The endorsement was a class act, where Pence said very nice things about Donald Trump, some about John Kasich, but ultimately endorsed Ted Cruz and compared him to Ronald Reagan. After that, the media pom-pom boys and girls are predicting a big win for Trump in Indiana. They pretend to know what the outcome in Indiana will be but actually have no idea. In addition, if Cruz wins then it will not be treated as a miraculous victory. The media can spin for Trump, but no matter what he still needs the 1,237 delegates to clinch the nomination. Latter, Sen. Mitch McConnell and the Establishment are trying to bump out Tea Party candidates from winning elections. Their latest victim is Marlin Stutzman of Indiana who is running for Senate. The Establishment is propping up their own candidate against him, Todd Young.

Dan Bongino, Contributing Editor for Conservative Review, fills in for Mark. Are the protestors at the Trump rally trying to get Donald Trump elected? It is ironic that the left wants safe spaces for themselves but make unsafe spaces at these protests for everyone else. Liberals have a monopoly on trying to shut down speech. Regardless of who the Republican nominee is, the leftist protestors will show up to get a heckler's veto. There are no conservative protestors trying to silence the left with violence. In addition, America hit .5% GDP growth last quarter. Just to keep up with population growth we need 2% GDP growth and President Obama can’t even keep up with that. However, the Obama Administration and the left will continue to make excuses for the economy’s poor performance. Later, when asked how President Obama is doing, his supporters will say great. However, when you take Obama out of the equation, 70% of Americans say the country is going in the wrong direction.

John Boehner, the quintessential big government Republican, made vile comments about Ted Cruz. His comments reveal all that is wrong with Washington DC and the establishment. Sen. Mike Lee calls in and said the fact that Boehner said this is appalling and he called on Boehner to apologize. Lee explained that what Boehner said should be a wake-up call for Americans and it shows the Republican Establishment’s true colors. Later, Scott Rasmussen, President of Styrk, calls in to talk about projections for Tuesday in Indiana and beyond. Rasmussen said we are at a crossroads and the GOP nominee will be decided in Indiana. If Cruz wins in Indiana next week, no matter what happens in California, we will have a close race between him and Donald Trump.

Carly Fiorina calls in for her first radio interview after being named as Ted Cruz’s VP pick. She discussed her candidacy, the path forward for the Cruz campaign, the role of outsiders this year, and how Trump and Hillary Clinton are two sides of the same coin. Also, Donald Trump is not the presumptive nominee. If Trump doesn’t get to 1,237 he will be in big trouble and will most likely lose on the 2nd ballot at the Republican convention. In addition, getting over 50% is an achievement for a candidate who is running in the primaries. Reagan had over 70% of the vote in April and by June he had 80%. Trump doesn’t have the numbers that Reagan had when he was running. If Trump has a majority of people supporting him in the Republican primary, shouldn’t he have a bigger percentage of the popular vote? Later, if you could prosecute Trump for being a liberal, he would get a life sentence. Trump has filled his staff in south Florida with mostly foreign workers at his club Mar-a-Lago. He was using and abusing the H-2B visa system as much as he could. Finally, Andrew McCarthy former, U.S. Attorney in New York, calls in to talk about Donald Trump’s foreign policy speech.
