Title: The Art of War and Why Republicans Must Learn It
Topic: Republican Party Politics
Discussed by S.A. Sam McCarthy
with The Washington Stand (www.WashingtonStand.com/)
In the past, Democrats and Republicans usually acknowledged the same problems,
but put forth different solutions. Can there be common ground once again? Or do
Republicans need to step up their game and become warriors in WDC and the
courtroom?
S.A. Sam McCarthy is a news writer for The Washington Stand, a publication of
the Family Research Council. Today, Sam urges everyone to become involved with a
candidate or cause and spread the word to family, friends, and co-workers that
we MUST take back our country.

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Is there an ongoing war in America that too many are unaware of? Sam believes
that there is definitely a spiritual war being waged in the political world.
Have Democrats captured and weaponized nearly every single American institution
of any significance?
Has Joe Biden openly defied the orders of the Supreme Court while the MSM smears
the credibility of Conservative Justices?
Too many elected Republicans live as if they are on the high school debate club
and the teacher will stand up any minute to remind the other team to play by the
rules. Do the Democrats simply ignore the rules? Are there even any rules
anymore?
Do Democrats seek complete and total dominance? Sam says: “Absolutely. Leftism
is a religion… and it has political and social factions.” He also quotes
Archbishop Charles Chaput: “Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then
it tries to silence good.”
Do we need Conservative leaders who understand how to fight this war?
Will the American people stand behind those who are willing to fight the fight?

Title: California Republicans Vote to Keep Pro-Life/Pro-Marriage Platform
Topic: Republican Party Politics
Discussed by S.A. Sam McCarthy
with The Washington Stand (www.WashingtonStand.com/)
With the poor results from the 2022 mid-term elections, nationally, many are
calling for the removal of the pro-life/pro-family language found in various
Republican platforms. Do we need to focus on drawing distinctions with the Left,
not stoking divisions within our base?
S.A. (Sam) McCarthy is a writer at The Washington Stand. He has been published
by the American Spectator, Real Clear Investigations, and Crisis Magazine.
Today, Sam discusses the need for Republicans to stand up and stand strong in
our pro-life/pro-family message.

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Are Moderate Conservatives in California clamoring for the removal of the
pro-life/pro-family planks found in the California Republican Party Platform?
Are too many Conservative voters falling prey to the pro-choice/pro-homosexual
message? OR do Republicans simply not articulate the extreme positions of
Democrats? Sam explains why he believes it is a combination of both….
Is the pro-life message a “losing message” – or is it winning, especially among
millennials?
How much money are Democrats spending to fight the pro-life message? Sam and
Terry discuss this disgusting amount and how Republicans are fighting back
against them.
Do many Democrat voters not realize just how extreme their platform is
concerning abortion?

Title: Saving the Republican Party
Topic: Republican Party Politics
Discussed by Travis Weber
with Family Research Council (www.FRC.org)
Part 1 of 2
Most Americans – including a good number of Democrats – are tired of being force-fed radicalism that denies reality on almost every issue.
Travis Weber, the Vice President for Policy and Government Affairs at the
Family Research Council, joins us. Today he discusses what Conservative Christians must do immediately to save our Party and the Country.
Click
here for more on this issue from the
Family Research Council.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Is the LGBTQ Log Cabin Republican agenda incompatible with religious freedom and parental rights?
Are Log Cabin Republicans focused on change?
Should Conservatives object to anyone who wants to join the Republican Party? FRC President Tony Perkins recently wrote: “At the end of the day, the Republican Party should welcome everyone who supports its policies, but not at the expense of core values. For the sake of America, our message must continue to be that principles like religious freedom are not only non-negotiable -- they're flat-out incompatible with the pillars of the LGBT movement.”
Did parents and voters loudly proclaim in the 2021 November Elections that they do not want
Critical Race Theory pushed in public schools across America? Travis also discusses transgender sports, children’s privacy, religious freedom, and free speech…

Title: Part 2 of 2 - Saving the Republican Party
Topic: Republican Party Politics
Discussed by Travis Weber
with Family Research Council (www.FRC.org)
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Should the Republican party welcome everyone who supports its current policies
and agenda? Travis says: “We should welcome everyone, but our core values
should not be compromised nor chipped away to make room for competing agendas
that undermine religious freedom, the family, and parental rights.”
Do Log Cabin Republicans aim to recruit more diverse candidates that
support their causes to run as Republicans?
Must Conservative Christians stay engaged and active at all levels of the
Republican Party to assure our core values?
Has the Democrat Party left parents in the dust over the past 50 years? Travis
says: “They certainly have. The modern Democrat Party is not
supporting…parents. [They support] radical policies and this is why you’re
seeing voters move toward Republican candidates on commonsense matters.”

Title: Why Attend Your Precinct Convention?
Topic: Republican Party Politics
Discussed by Reverend Dave Welch
with US Pastor Council (US Pastor Council)
In this segment, Pastor Dave Welch discusses the importance of
Christians being involved in politics…
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Has participation from staunch Republicans dwindled over the past few years?
Does this leave an open door for moderate Republicans to pass more lenient
by-laws and rules for the Party?
Can anyone who votes in a Republican Primary attend their Precinct Convention?
Why is this so important? Dave offers a brief run-down of what happens at the
precinct, state, and national conventions.
Dave says this: “A Party without its platform is like a church without
Scripture.”

Title: Recap of the RNC
Topic: Republican Party Politics
Discussed by Bergundi Cain
with Briscoe Cain (www.briscoecain.com)
Bergundi Cain is the wife of HD 128 Republican Candidate Briscoe
Cain. She was honored to attend the recent Republican National
Convention in Cleveland, OH, and is here today to give us her perspective on the
event.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Just an elected few are able to attend a National Convention. Why was Bergundi
chosen to attend?
With so many conservative Republican bloggers and talkers against Trump, what
was the mood of the attendees prior to Donald Trump’s nomination? Did the mood
change once Donald Trump was nominated?
What happened after Ted Cruz gave his speech? How did the Texas delegates react?
If too many Conservative, Evangelicals stay home because they don’t like their
choices for President, what happens to Bergundi’s husband’s chances?
Texas is a Red State. In 2000 and 2004, the Bush Campaign did not spend any
dollars in Texas to turn out the vote. Neither did McCain in 2008 nor Romney in
2012. While voting their faith and their conscience, what can each listener do
to make sure down ballot Republican candidates, like Briscoe Cain, win in
November?
Too many voters get worked up about one specific issue or candidate, yet they
don’t become active. Bergundi believes that, yes, voting is of vital importance,
but it is equally important to become involved in the process. Become involved
and vote – but don’t vote alone. And, above all, pray, pray, and pray some more.

Title: Talk Less. Do More.
Topic: Republican Party Politics
Discussed by Robert Knight
with Robert H Knight (www.RobertHKnight.com)
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. Well, folks, we need to stop the insanity. We need to stop sending the same people to Washington over and over again, hoping they will finally vote the “right” way when they clearly have not been and have no intention to start any time soon.
Robert Knight first discusses why consumers are not spending more money when experts had predicted lower gas prices would spur a boost in the economy. It’s Obamacare and unemployment. People are paying more money now than they ever have for their health insurance premiums through Obamacare. People are also being more cautious with their money.
But will this make a difference at the polls? Will more Americans vote who don’t usually bother sticking their noses in political matters? Robert Knight is hopeful that more Americans will stand up to big government – and even the RINO’s – and say “Enough!” It is time to take back our country!
As for those so-called “establishment politicians”, Robert has this to say: “When they feel the heat, they see the light.” Let’s make them all feel the heat!
If you are a Christian, you should be registered to vote. And you should make every effort to vote in every single election. If you are not registered to vote at your current place of residence, you must register soon! Click on the “Register 2 Vote Now” link on our home page to get registered now!

Title: Current Issues with the Texas Republican Party
Topic: Republican Party Politics
Discussed by Jared Woodfill
with Conservative Activist
Jared Woodfill is with us today to discuss the details surrounding
the upcoming Texas Republican Party Convention and other issues affecting our
great state. For example, some activists want to place a
resolution on the ballot which would allow Texas to ability to secede from the
union. What has motivated this desire? “The Federal Government is continuing
to trample on our state laws, principles, and beliefs,” Jared says. While
he believes this is absolutely true, he does not necessarily believe seceding is
the answer. Listen in as he expands on his opinion and what is happening within
the Republican Party concerning this issue.
In addition, many Republicans wish to move the upcoming Texas Republican Party
Convention from Dallas to Houston. Shortly after the voters of Houston rejected
HERO, the Dallas city council unanimously voted in favor of a similar law
allowing men into women’s restrooms. “We had an opportunity to embrace our
principles and move the convention to Houston and we let that opportunity pass
us by. In fact, there was no attempt to move the convention at all,” Jared
says.
There are many other issues which deserve our immediate attention. Don’t stay
silent and sit this next election out. Vote in the upcoming Republican Primary
and attend your precinct meeting that evening. Don’t be afraid to stand up for
your beliefs. “We need people who will fight for us. That is what our Party
needs,” Jared says.

Title: Republicans are Engaging in Plan B
Topic: Republican Party Politics
Discussed by Phyllis Schlafly
with Eagle Forum (www.eagleforum.org)
A good strategist always has at least one backup plan.
It’s now time for the Republican Party to step up their game and give
up on Plan A. Republican donors want a candidate who will do anything they want
him or her to do. Jeb Bush, being a moderate in every way, was that man.
However, Phyllis Schlafly, President of Eagle Forum, says Jeb Bush is
just not working for the establishment anymore. He’s not popular like they
thought he would be.
Most of the donors are big business owners who want to control their candidate.
However, with the soaring popularity of Donald Trump, what are they to do? He
clearly is not a candidate who will obey their every beck-and-call. Ted Cruz and
Ben Carson aren’t push-overs, either.
Listen in as Phyllis Schlafly explains how the Primary Caucus works. “The
thing about this time, for the first time in 50 years, we’re going to have a
wide-open election,” she believes. “The establishment’s plan is to pick
their candidate and then freeze everyone else out.” We cannot let that
happen. Phyllis urges everyone to either get themselves elected to the
delegation or elect someone who shares your same vision for the country. Don’t
sit idly by. Do something.

The Republicans won big in 2014,

Title: Is the GOP Still a Religious Party?
Topic: Republican Party Politics
Discussed by Brad Tupi
with Center for Vision and Values (www.VisionAndValues.org)
The majority (61%) of Protestants voted Republican, while 37% voted Democrat
in the 2014 mid-term elections. Catholics voted 54% Republican and 45% Democrat.
Those who do not identify with a certain religion voted 69% Democrat.
Brad Tupi, an attorney and contributor for the Grove City College Center for
Vision and Values, says these numbers aren’t that surprising, especially when
you start breaking each group down into race, how often they attend (or don’t
attend) church, and how they view social and moral issues.
Sad Fact: Voter turnout for the 2014 November mid-term election was only 36%.
This is the lowest voter turnout since World War II.
Listen in as Brad discusses how pastors should – and can – talk about political
issues from the pulpit. Yes they can!

Title: Conservative Christians are Key to the Republican Party
Topic: Republican Party Politics
Discussed by Mark Tooley
with Institute on Religion and Democracy www.theIRD.org
Who voted during the
Mid-Term Elections? Are Catholics still leaning right because of the abortion
issue, or have they given up? The majority of college students and those under
the age of 30 tend to vote left. Did that trend change this year?
There are those within the Republican Party who want the old, white hairs gone.
They think the old, white hairs are damaging and ruining the party. What does
Mark Tooley, with the Institute on Religion and Democracy, think about that? Are
they a dying breed?
Those who do not attend church or do not identify with a specific denomination
usually vote Democrat, but this election many switched to the Republican Party.
However, the majority are still left-leaning.
Mark gives a run-down of who voted in the November Election. He says the
Mid-Term Elections were encouraging, but he wants to encourage us to stay
focused and not stop registering new voters just because “we” won this time
around.

Title: The Big Engine Blew a Gasket
Topic: Republican Party Politics
Discussed by Jared Woodfill
with Conservative Activist
The Northeast, once
the nation’s political engine that produced presidents, House speakers, and
Senate giants including the late Edward M. Kennedy, is losing clout. The Census
Bureau reports that population growth has shifted to the South. As a result, the
eleven states that make up the Northeast are being bled dry of representation in
Washington.
Jared Woodfill discusses why he thinks people in the Northeast are moving to
Southern states, like Texas, and what the means for the future of our country.
Jared says we must continue with the Republican way of thinking, however, that
limited government is best for our state or else we could wind up broke like
others.
Liberals from the Northeast who move to Texas looking for a better job and a
more prosperous future must realize that the reason we are better is because we
do not allow our elected officials to take advantage of us. Northern states are
failing because their elected officials are taxing businesses to death, raising
prices for everything from gas to milk to electricity, and paying outrageous
pension rates funded by taxpayers. We cannot allow the Northerners to ruin
Texas, too.

Title: Future of the Republican Party
Topic: Republican Party Politics
Discussed by Cathie Adams
with Texas Eagle Forum (www.TexasEagle.org)
Part 1 of 2
Is the Republican Party in danger of disappearing, even in Texas? I
personally think that many in the Republican Party in Harris County are more
interested in getting elected than working for the people. Many
don't want me asking candidates their position on the abortion and LGBT issues.
They don't want to know. They want to be able to say "this man or woman is my
cousin's best friend's unlce's sister-in-law's son". Ohhhhh, well he or she must
be the best person for the job then! Not!
Cathie Adams says I should keep asking those questions! At least someone likes
me! Cathie says the family is the core of our Republican values, our Christian
heritage. Cathie is like me. She wants to know what candidates truly believe. If
they stray in way from what they claim to support or not support, Cathie says
"they're gone". We should have zero tolerance.
Families are being torn apart; 70% of black babies are born into a one-parent
family (meaning no dad is around at all). Cathie wants to change this - across
the board. We must be actively involved.

Dallas flipped blue in 2006 and not a single Republican judge has
been elected in the city since. The same could happen in Houston
very soon if things don't change. Too many candidates are more concerned with
votes than values.
In addition, many Republicans are teaming up with Libertarians, who are pro-gay,
pro-choice, and anti-gun. Yes, Libertarians are in favor of less government, but
that also means they don't want restrictions on illegal drugs, gambling, or
basically anything else. They might be well-intended, but the results would be
devastating.
What about illegal immigration? Are Republicans leaning toward open borders to
gain votes? Texas schools are already over-crowded and under-funded. With all
these illegal children entering our schools, where are the Republicans? Why are
they not standing up and saying "stop this nonsense"?
Concerning the pro-life agenda...Wendy Davis stood for 11 hours, with tennis
shoes and a back brace on (even wearing adult diapers!!) in order to stop a bill
that would allow a baby in gestation the right to life. Is she what is best for
Texas? Cathie and I say "Heck NO!"
Our purpose on this earth is to glorify the Lord and to work for Him. He wants
us to save souls for His Kingdom, always striving to be more like Him.

Title: Best Kept Secret: How to Build The New Republican Party Platform
Topic: Republican Party Politics
Written by Jessica Colon
with Political Activist
Texas does not require party affiliation when you register to vote. Every two
years, registered voters choose whether to vote in the Republican or the
Democrat Primary.
By choosing to vote in the Republican Primary, you become eligible to attend the
local Precinct Convention the night of the Primary. And if you choose and are
elected, you can advance to the Senatorial/County Convention and even onto the
State Convention.
This process is the best kept secret around. Be informed. Make plans to attend
your local precinct convention. [Editor’s note: Use the contact link on our

Title: Republican Infighting Must Stop After the Primaries!
Topic: Republican Party Politics
Discussed by Kenneth Blackwell
with Family Research Council (www.FRC.org)
Part 1 of 2
Primaries are for disagreements between the various factions of any party.
Too often, two or more conservative, pro-life candidates run against one
moderate, or RINO. And, too often, the moderate wins in the run-off because the
various factions have not learned to put away their disagreements and work
together.
But it is a two-way street. When the true conservative, pro-life candidates wins
a primary, the moderates have to learn to be team players, also.
Ken Blackwell, with the FRC, says after the primaries all the bickering and
feuding among Republicans must end or there will be no hope for the future.

Too many voters stay home during

We
