Congress sends another $60 BILLION of our taxes to Ukraine?!?!

Will NYC lower the speed limit again?!?!?!

The crew discusses discrimination and whether the government should punish employers who don't hire all types of people.

The crew gets into a LOUD argument about how much the government should protect people from contracts.

Iran’s attack on Israel; the Trump trial in NYC; should he have not bothered to show up to the trial at all to show his disdain? Would Biden pull Trump’s secret service to send him to prison? Should SCOTUS take so long to make decisions? Do oral arguments change minds? Speaker Johnson changing his mind on section 702; Senate refused to hold trial on Mayorkas impeachment.

It's Passover, so Steven was unavailable; Alu seizes the opportunity for a hostile takeover of the podcast and begins throwing AnCap bombs from the first moment! The crew gets into a heated debate about whether the government should ever interfere with private contracts and whether discrimination should ever be outlawed; four different opinions emerge, and many brilliant points are made; the Eds seem to argue that the government is necessarily a party to all contracts. Alu and the gang express gratitude for the NY legislature for approving the NYC government to lower the standard speed limit again, this time to 20 MPH. The crew discusses the new Ukraine Capital, located at Constitution Avenue and First Street in Washington D.C.; we are lucky that Ukraine just received another $61 billion from US taxpayers! The crew discussed Russia and NATO, and Ed P. provided us with many more amazing insights. The show finished off with more debate about the Israel-Hamas war, collateral damage in wars, and the morality of the nuclear bombs and Dresden attacks in WW2. We invite feedback, questions, and comments from our live and podcast listeners, either through comments on Facebook live during the show or by email to: theconservatarianexchange@libertyblock.com.

What is the alt-right? Trump judge refusing to acquiesce to the appeals court re: the bond he has to put up in order to appeal or did Letitia James say the insurance company that issued the bond is not qualified to do such business in NY. Abortion as national issue vs states right; what is Trump standing for in this election cycle? How much else could Trump be doing to spread a winning message and strengthen other GOP candidates?

Ed Powell laments that Congressman Mike Johnson seemed to lose his conservative principles once elected Speaker of the House. This is literally what has happened with every Speaker and anyone else who gained power.

Congratulations to our hosts on our 200th episode. Thanks to Jodi for making an appearance! Disney has won its battle in a proxy way to remain woke against outsiders; liberals keep fighting; conservatives often accept defeat as final; do establishment leaders in D.C. succumb to more than just peer pressure? threats? should republicans engage in issues such as “income equality”—turn the issue against liberal jurisdictions? Attacks on free speech in Scotland, Poland; if Americans don’t fight for free speech the “parchment guarantees” will never suffice; winner take all of electors vs. apportioning them by district (current situation in Nebraska); should we care if blue states ignore SCOTUS? Trump should join Abbott of Texas in ignoring SCOTUS on the “invasion” issue; does an oath to support the constitution require support of all SCOTUS decisions? Attorneys afraid of taking suits on the right and/or being disbarred like Eastman; why aren’t banks treated legally as common carriers? Biden’s Easter transgender visibility proclamation? Is government our religion nowadays?

Is the infamous pathological liar returning to Congress after being kicked out?!?!??!

Lazer makes a surprise appearance - update from Ukraine!!!!

George Santos running in the primary for congress. Trump clinching the nomination; SOTU; was it a declaration of war against half the country? why did Katie Britt present the republican response and not Trump or someone else with more gravitas? cryptocurrency; would the dems let Trump win and blame him for an inevitable economic collapse? would congress refuse to certify trump if he wins? Current situation in Haiti; RFK Jr’s campaign vs. the “culturally vulgar” campaigns of Trump and Biden; Lazer joined the show and reported from Ukraine; U.S. building temporary ports to send supplies to Gaza; the House voted to ban tik tok—is this just a step towards general censorship of other media? or is shutting it down just to benefit Meta/Facebook? the Oscars; was Oppenheimer a communist? the rumor that Macron’s wife is a male;

The most likely way the gun fired on the #Baldwin movie set, according to Alu. #RustTrial #Homicide #Revolver #Guns #Safety

Who will Trump choose as a vice president?!?!?

Trump in; Haley out; extremely unlikely Haley could be Trump’s V.P. Does Trump want a black V.P.? The 9-0 SCOTUS ruling on Trump’s eligibility to run; who is in charge of allowing someone on the ballot for POTUS, e.g., if they’re a foreign national? NY Governor sues Nassau County over their decision to disallow transgenders to compete on female’s teams; can a state influence permits for a park in a county? NYC putting national guardsmen in the subway system; what does the posse comitatus act actually cover?

Mary Poppins being re-rated for a word that could be deemed racist; NYC politicians speaking out against expansion of asylum-seeking migrant facilities near their constituents; as migrants are counted in the census, it accrues positively to the democrats to increase migration; the Alabama IVF court ruling that frozen embryos should be considered persons; McConnell leaving as senate minority leader in 2024; Ronna McDaniel leaving as head of the RNC; Fani Willis and Nathan Wade—will they be disqualified? Texas AG winning case that a spending bill was passed unconstitutionally.

Trucker’s protest against anti-trump verdict and fine; Kevin O’Leary speaking about businesses avoiding NYS; wouldn’t that work in favor of amazon and other big companies? How legal/common is it to preclude appeal without paying fine? Navalny’s death; arrest of informant for allegedly lying about Burisma;

Republican loss in the special congressional election in NY yesterday; how much may have been due to snow? How much due to Mazi Pilip being a registered democrat? How much attributable to Trump being the nominee? How much to the backlash against Santos having won an election there? What is being done to recruit another candidate in November to run against Suozzi in November, or will they run the same candidate? Can Long Island be saved? The impeachment of Mayorkas; if Republicans lose in November, how to prevent it being framed as anti-America-first? Putin’s interview with Tucker Carlson and the reaction of the left to the interview? The Black National Anthem at the super bowl; is it a lack of allegiance that is parallel to dual citizenships?

Should red states indict democrat ex-presidents now that courts decided that presidents are not immune from prosecution?

"That whole case was such a joke!"

Eagle pass is closed but other entry points are open!

The ongoing opposition of Texas to the feds on the border issue and where is Trump, why is he not capitalizing on this issue? Does POTUS have authority to stop States’ National Guards from going to another State to enforce the border; the proposed deal in the senate to allow more immigrants in; should Trump do more to raise the enthusiasm of the republican voters? How important is the upcoming special congressional election on February 13th in Nassau County, NY? Severe prison sentences for pro-lifers vs light or no sentences for BLM peaceful protesters? Should Trump more publicly protect and stand up for Peter Navarro?
