Can the Government be Charitable?

If DOGE and the Trump administration are going to achieve significant government reform, they'll need Congress, and they'll need the correct principled arguments to make it through what is sure to be a bitter fight with the entrenched bureaucracy. In this episode, I explore one of these crucial arguments: charity is no part of the legislative function. Our disregard for that concept has put us on a path to fiscal meltdown and is eroding morality.

The Latter-Day Saint Case for Donald Trump

My thoughts on voting for Donald Trump as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The media has convinced many Latter-Day Saints and other Christians that Trump is a historically bad character and a threat to democracy, the rule of law, and the Constitution. I explore why those claims are well overblown by examining Trump's actions on, and leading up to, January 6, and by comparing him to past presidents. I also discuss the policies that should animate LDS voters and why, in spite of Trump’s less-than-admirable record, a Trump administration will likely do far more to advance those policies than Kamala Harris.

Episode 3 My Talk With Undecided LDS Voter Brad Denton

I sit down with Brad Denton, the managing partner of the Mesa, Arizona-based law firm, Denton, Peterson, Dunn. Brad is a faithful Latter-Day Saint and is undecided in the Presidential Election. Please forgive the poor audio quality (I'm working on it!). Brad is super smart, very well-informed, and has great insights so it will be worth it to turn the volume up and do your best to hear.
