Keep the Republic with guest Sue Gaston: Conservative Action Items for Idaho

The number of people who claim to be Christian is dropping in America - especially among the younger set.  It's the lowest its ever been since Gallup Polls have been tracking this.

A Biblical foundation is needed for this form of government to survive -- just read what our Founders said about that!  So, KTR host Daniel Bobinski is doing something about it. Some folks will never darken the doors of a church, but they'll have no problem going to  a bar. This, starting Sunday, Feb 4, Daniel will be facilitating a Bible study at Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho.   Visit www.OldStateSaloon.com to learn more. 

Note - this will NOT be a sermon!  It will be an interactive study on things Biblical.

In the 2nd half of today's show, Daniel talks with Summer Bushnell of the Bushnell Report (TheBushnellReport.com), and the main topic is what's happening with "The Library Bill," an effort in the Idaho Legislature to stop what amounts to pornographic material being readily available in both school and public libraries. 

All that and more about how individuals can make a difference in their state government. We are, after all, the PEOPLE of the state, and the Idaho Constitution is clear - all political power resides in the PEOPLE of Idaho. 

March 2nd is the Idaho Caucus to vote for the Idaho's delegates for the Republican Presidential candidate.  Host Daniel Bobinski walks you through how it will work. 

ALSO - a review of the weekly conservative-oriented events happening at the Idaho State Capitol. 

 Ron Nate served six years in the Idaho legislature, and for the past two years he’s served as senior policy for the Idaho Freedom Foundation (IFF).  This last week, IFF founding president Wayne Hoffman stepped down and in his place is now Ron Nate. 

In his opening comments on today’s show, Nate said, “Idaho owes a great deal of gratitude to Wayne Hoffman and his legacy, and my goal is to take to new heights, if that’s possible.” 

(NOTE: Wayne Hoffman has a been a guest on Keep the Republic multiple times, and his vision to keep Idaho true to the founding principles of this country is to be commended.) 

Topic 1:  IFF has been labelled by the Leftist media as a Libertarian think tank. Bobinski thinks it’s more of a conservative think tank. Ron Nate agreed, and offered his perspective on the Leftist’s practice of “label lynching” in their attempts to smear the IFF. 

Topics 2: The legislative session in Idaho just started, and that included Governor Brad Little’s State of the State address. Nate observed that the Governor has proposed hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars for new spending programs. “Every agency, every aspect of our lives, he sees as something he can use the government budget to try and tackle,”  Nate says. 

In the past 10 years, the state’s budget has increased from $4 billion to $14 billion.

Topic 3: The Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry (IACI) drives much of the Governor’s agenda – including his spending agenda. With gaslighting in full force, both IACI and Leftist media in the state claim IFF’s legislative bill grading system is “suspect,” when, in fact, IFF’s 12 metrics are explained in total on IFF’s website.  In reality, IACI’s doesn’t grade legislation, it grades legislators, giving them a “+1” if they vote for legislation IACI wants, and a “-1” if they vote against such legislation.  “It’s completely subjective,” Nate says. 

Topic 4: Ron was asked to define a conservative. 

Topic 5: Brad Little, as part of the National Governor’s Association, is beholden to written agreements the NGA has with the World Economic Forum. Their goal is top-down authoritarianism, and they desire efficiency instead of effectiveness, thus damaging society.

January of 2024 means a new legislative session starts in Idaho. Those working to protect, preserve, and defend the Constitution are up against well-funded opposition. What’s said is that many in the opposition don’t even know they’re working against the foundational principles that made this country great.  But some do know. Some are so self-centered and selfish that they would willingly dismantle our form of government so they can acquire short-term power and gain. 

On today’s show, Sue Gaston, 2nd vice chair of the Ada County Republican Central Committee in Idaho and a leader in Idaho’s Conservatives Of, joins Daniel to discuss upcoming activities to support Constitutional government in Idaho.

Dr. Karladine Graves joins Daniel Bobinski for Part 3 of her discussion on corruption in the Medical Industrial Complex.

Dr. Karladine Graves joins Daniel Bobinski for Part 2 of her discussion on corruption in the Medical Industrial Complex.

Dr. Daniel Bobinski hosts Dr. Karladine Graves, DO, on today's 'Keep the Republic' show. 

Daniel opens by discussing Idaho's political climate and how constitutional conservatism is being smeared by those who call themselves Republican but do not adhere to the party platform. Attacks on conservatives are amping up, and conservatives need to push back.

Following that, Daniel plays part one of his discussion with Dr. Karladine Graves. 

Key Takeaways 

• Dr. Graves shared her medical background and how she started an advocacy against pharmaceutical companies overpricing their products as well as industry's influence on legislation.
• How a research committee established by Dr. Graves promoted treatment of COVID-19, how they notified President Trump, and how Anthony Fauci mislead Americans (aka lied) about valid treatments. 
• The financial interests of individuals like Bill Gates and the pharmaceutical industry as an obstacle for actual healthcare solutions.

Christians are encouraged to seek direction from God and actively protect Constitutionally protected liberties by contacting their legislators to inform them of the upcoming intentions of the World Health Organization.

Special guest Brian Almon joins Daniel Bobinski to further discuss the seriousness of Idaho State Senator Chuck Winder's unprofessional treatment of Conservative legislators. Even worse, Evidence shows Governor Little is involved in funding attacks on other conservative legislators, and those attacks include outright lies.

It is becoming clear that Establishment Republicans realize that conservatives are no longer holding back on exposing how Establishment R's are tapping public money for their own benefit. The Establishment's reaction is smear and threaten, but conservatives have indicated they will not be intimidated and they will not back down.

This is not a show anyone wants to do. But the actions and motives of those in power must be called out.
