Now we have a controversy over a tweet and an email that none of us heard about on Monday night. The idea that swarms of people who were going to vote for Ben Carson decided not to because of an email put out by a Ted Cruz staffer is crazy and false. Someone, from the Ted Cruz campaign just retweeted out what CNN said. There is no investigation needed here by the media. It turns out Marco Rubio's people were pushing the same rumor about Carson. Also, Donald Trump who was attacking Ben Carson a few months ago is now defending Carson. Americans should take note that it was Trump’s attacks towards Ben Carson in November that were responsible for his fall in the polls not the Cruz email and tweet. This is just another clown show that is being run by the new and old media to take down Cruz. Americans need to stop letting the media play them and realize that America doesn’t have many chances left to elect a conservative candidate. Later, Rick Santorum has dropped out of the election race and endorsed Marco Rubio. Also, President Obama says that the best way to fight terrorism is to show that we don’t suppress Islam. No, the best way to fight terrorism is to kill them! Finally, Carly Fiorina calls in to discuss the next Republican debate hosted by ABC News and whether or not she’ll be on that stage.

The news coverage of what took place in Iowa Monday night has been dishonest and predictable. Fox News and others are making Marco Rubio, who came in third, look like the winner instead of Ted Cruz who was the actual winner. Cruz was supposed to come in second but he won despite attacks from the crony capitalists, the media, the pollsters, and the establishment. Cruz literally beat the Iowa cartel but it’s a non-story. In addition, there is no question that on most cases that Rubio is a conservative. However, Rubio supports an extreme interventionist approach to foreign policy and tried to pass the Gang of 8 amnesty bill. Rubio was elected to the Senate in 2010 to promote conservative policies in Washington and broke his pledge on amnesty. Finally, the things said about Cruz and other conservatives in this race were similarly said about Ronald Reagan. Reagan was despised during his election yet won in a landslide.

Finally, the voting begins in the first in the nation Iowa Caucus and we will know what the voters of Iowa actually believe. This election can’t be taken lightly, because If we lose what is left of the Republic we lose the country. Instead of focusing on poll numbers and vile attacks, constitutional conservatives, who will not be intimidated or silenced, are going to plow ahead and continue to discuss the important issues. This election is our best chance to nominate someone who is an unequivocal conservative. Also, Ted Cruz calls in to give his final message to Iowa voters and his 3 top priorities if he is sworn in as President. Later, evidence is building that Hilary Clinton should be in an orange jumpsuit in Ft. Leavenworth for her email scandal. Finally, Chris Wallace keeps pushing a leftist Obamacare agenda during an interview with Ted Cruz. Wallace forgets how many people Obamacare has failed.

Dan Bongino, contributing editor of Conservative Review, fills in for Mark. There are two parties in America, one that believes in economic freedom, the Constitution and limited government, and the other that hates what America stands for. The modern Democrat Party falls into the latter category in America as they espouse ideas that are anti-freedom and socialist. Now the Democrats are fielding an openly socialist candidate, Bernie Sanders. The Democrat Party is no longer the party of JFK but of the radical left. Also, the left is trying to get away from the fact that they support tyrants sometimes. They are tacticians and realize that the hard socialism of the Soviet Union will not be accepted by Americans so they promote a softer version, which taxes the production system to death. However, evidence of their success is very hard to find. Just look at Social Security, which will be bankrupt by 2034. Conservatives need to combat the left with the ideas of limited government that have make America the greatest nation on Earth.

This has never been a battle between Donald Trump and Fox News. Trump made a calculated political decision, not to avoid Megyn Kelly, but to avoid the debate format where he might be the target, when the polls show him leading in Iowa just days before the caucus. Trump believes it is too risky to participate in a debate that would target him. Now, Ted Cruz is going to be the one to bear most of the media scrutiny and Trump will get a free pass. Also, if not now when will the Republican candidates take their case to the American people? This election is not about the candidates but about us. The Democrats are so extreme and President Obama’s policy is so unpopular that its perfect timing for Republican candidates to take a conservative agenda to the American people, yet this is being lost. Instead of focusing on real issues, candidates and supposed conservative media outlets are focusing on attacks. Finally, Obama is now joining in boycotting goods from the West Bank in Israel. Now any goods from West Bank can’t be listed as being from Israel. This is what happens when America focuses on stupid stuff instead of real issues like this.

The country is turning into a comic book. Americans are supposed to dig in and wonder whether Trump will go to a debate or not. The internet is going nuts over Trump not going to the Fox News debate yet there are more important issues like immigration and ISIS that are not being talked about. Americans need to push the candidates to focus on substantive issues instead of cheering on candidates like Trump for calling names. Meanwhile the establishment candidates are looking over Americans shoulders to take advantage of the distraction that Trump is causing. Also, why is Trump so nice when talking about Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Chuck Schumer, yet brutal against Ben Carson and Ted Cruz? It's impossible to make deals with the likes of Reid, Pelosi, and Schumer. We need a president who will move away from dealing with Democrats by defeating them. Later, conservatives need to keep an eye on Marco Rubio and the Establishment, because they are going to try to take Ted Cruz out. Finally, Senator Rand Paul calls in to talk in about his candidacy.

Sen. Ted Cruz calls in and challenged Donald Trump to come and debate him, one on one, on Mark’s show. The challenge comes after Trump said he would not participate in the Fox News debate on Thursday. Cruz said if Trump is afraid of Mark Levin or Megyn Kelly hosting a debate that he is willing to do an hour long head to head debate with no moderator. Also, Trump is polling high but when it comes to his favorability rating with Gallup it is the worst among the Republican contenders. The negative attacks from Trump have turned off a significant number of people. True believers are not enough to get Trump elected. In addition, Dr. Ben Carson calls in to talk about his candidacy and his views on CAIR and immigration policy.

The phrase conservative purist is an attack from the left by establishment types who support more government and ethanol subsidies. Also, we need a candidate who is going to get this nation back and not make deals with the likes of Mitch McConnell and Orrin Hatch; who is willing to undo President Obama's executive overreach and get rid of the federal agencies. Instead of wanting to undo Obama’s policies, Donald Trump is pandering to the ethanol industry in Iowa. Later, it’s the American people who are supposed to choose the candidate not the media. Finally, Americans need to move politicians in the direction they want them to go not to cheerlead for them.

Americans should never forget that it’s not about the candidate it’s about the country. Donald Trump is running a very unique campaign in the way he moves from portraying himself as an outsider to attracting more inside establishment support. This type of campaign tactic is very Nixonian. It is remarkable that Trump has done this and still holds onto his supporters. However, if he doesn’t take the highroad he could lose. He is showing that he is not conservative but an agrarian populist nationalist. Trump and other candidates should stop attacking each other and talk about the issues. Conservatives should remember while Ted Cruz took a loan out from Goldman Sachs, he never gave money to Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer or Bill de Blasio. The establishment stopped attacking Trump and are calling him because they see he is winning and they want to influence him. Later, Americans shouldn’t abandon their principles like politicians have, because principles brought our country to where it is today.

Senator’s Orrin Hatch and Richard Burr are taking a second look at Donald Trump. Why are the establishment Republicans considering him electable over Ted Cruz? The establishment is now showing its true colors by attacking Cruz and showing support for Trump. Americans should realize that this is Nixon versus Reagan. Those who say politics is about doing whatever needs to be done to get elected are the Nixon crowd. Reagan rejected this view point and used his belief system to persuade people. Trump and other candidates would do well to borrow from Reagan’s conservative beliefs and principles instead of just using his lines. Also, not a single thing President Obama has done shows that he supports the private sector. He is out to milk and manipulate the free market. Walmart has to close stores because of Obama’s policies and more families will suffer. Later, If Trump can talk about Ted Cruz’s loans, why not ask him about his past donations to Sen. Harry Reid, previous support of amnesty or support of Syrian refuges?
