0:00.0 | I'm Ben Myceles from the Midas Touch Network. You see this clip of Liz Cheney on NBC. |
0:06.3 | She's asked whether she is still a conservative and she answers it exactly how we've been talking about here |
0:14.9 | on the Midas Touch Network and she says, well, I still consider myself a conservative, but the modern |
0:21.6 | day Republican Party, they're not conservative, they're not faithful to the Constitution. Watch her |
0:27.5 | take down of the modern day Republican Party. And people ask, are you still a conservative? |
0:32.4 | Do you still, is there still place in the party for people like yourself? Well, I think those are |
0:37.4 | two different questions. I am a conservative. What the Republican Party is doing today is not |
0:43.6 | conservative. I think the most conservative of any conservative principle is fidelity to the |

1:46.5 | with whom you disagree. If, you know, both of you are engaged based on substance, then that's how |
1:53.2 | you learn things and it's also how you get the best policy for the country. And I think that we |
1:58.4 | have to steer our politics back to those kinds of debates and discussions. You know, that's |
2:03.7 | precisely what we've been talking about here on the minus touch network. I mean, look, if you were |
2:09.2 | to look at my views, you'd probably say, Ben is progressive and liberal, but you see, I don't like |
2:17.2 | those labels because when I look at it, I also think I'm far more conservative than mega-republicans. |
2:24.6 | I believe in the rule of law. I believe in actually following our constitution, right? I believe that |
