Summary

Today, we were honored to have North Carolina’s Lt. Gov Dan Forest join us to discuss the judicial war on his state. North Carolina is one of the few states where Republicans are actually standing up to the transgender jihad, fighting for religious liberty, and defending against fraudulent voting. Yet, the federal courts have crowned themselves the final arbiter of every state and local issue. They have granted standing to radical groups in order to “throw out” laws duly passed by the legislature. In this episode, Dan Forest discusses with Daniel the importance of states doing the right thing and the need for Congress to protect them from an overbearing federal executive and judiciary. What is going on in North Carolina is a perfect example of why conservatives must also focus down ballot and ensure that champions like Dan Forest are reelected so that states can remain the last line of defense for liberty. At some point, if Congress declines to stand up for the states, they will have no choice but to say no and take back their rightful power over state and local affairs. Dan Forest explains why, through a convergence of factors, North Carolina has become ground zero in the fight for federalism.

0:51.8	where we're discussing how to get beyond this false choice, these terrible times in politics where
0:57.4	conservatives just feel like they have no voice. We mentioned the fact that our voice really
1:04.2	is rooted in the States. Ultimately, we got to get the power back to the States, and we got to
1:09.5	elect good people to the States. That's where we're going to have to make our stand irrespective of
1:14.4	the outcome of this election. Certainly with Hillary, we'll be fighting both the judiciary and the
1:20.5	executive branch with a Trump. Maybe we'll be fighting the executive branch too, but certainly
1:24.7	the judiciary. We got to have rock stars. We got so much good feedback last time when we had
1:34.0	Lieutenant Governor Dan Fareston from North Carolina. North Carolina is ground zero for the war
