In John 14-17 we read this promise from Jesus that, as followers of him, we will do even greater things than he did! How is that possible? Jesus did amazing miracles, he healed people, walked on water, raised people from the dead, and he himself died on a cross and then rose from the dead 3 days later, and we're supposed to do even greater things than him?? What did he mean by that and how's that possible? That's our topic for this morning, as we look to John chapters 14-17 to understand what he meant and how that's possible.

Moving to a new neighborhood and starting at a new school is never easy. Will we be accepted by the people there, or will they reject us? Jesus faced that question as he came down from heaven and entered the world as a human. Casting aside the religious traditions, Jesus invites us to a relationship with him that we can either accept or reject. John 1-2:12 gives us a snapshot of the themes and events that will happen throughout the Gospel of John. Dan Forest starts our new series on John by asking three questions of this passage: Who is Jesus, Who are We, and What Invitations are there for us today?

What would you do if you did something you weren't supposed to do? Are you going to come forward and be honest about it? Are you going to hide it and try to find ways to keep it hidden? David chose the latter and it didn't turn out that well. He was caught and though he was "a man after God's heart" he still had to face the consequences of his choices. Dan continues our Life of David series with 2 Samuel 11-12. Enjoy!

In the second hour of the show, Pete makes mention of the CDC admitting that cloth masks do not stop the spread of COVID 19 and says many in North Carolina owe gubernatorial candidate Dan Forest - who got crucified for this lack of faith in masks during his campaign - an apology.  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/petekalinershow See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Because God is so loving and because Jesus is a friend of sinners, we can fall into this trap of thinking that God is safe, that God is easy-going and maybe even a pushover. But in 2 Samuel 6, we discover that God is wild and unpredictable. God is not safe, but He is good.

David has been on the run from King Saul for 10 years in the wilderness, and he's done everything he can to survive, which has involved some very questionable things. Over that time, he's put together his own A-Team of 600 men, but these aren't the best and the brightest, they're the ones in distress, in debt, and discontent. Why does God allow David and his A-Team to continue with their unethical actions and what did this say about us and Jesus' church today?

Since 9/11, America is still having difficulties understanding and relating to the Muslim faith. When we hear the word Muslim or Islam we tend to think of Arabs, terrorists, the conflict in the middle East, what's happening now in Afghanistan, but these are bad assumptions. Arab is a race while Islam is a religion. Not all Arabs are Muslim and most Muslims are actually not Arab. Arabs make up about 13% of the Muslim population worldwide. And the majority of Muslims do not want war, they want peace on Earth. So what does Islam teach and how can we as Christians relate to it? Dan Forest unpacks this and more in Episode 5 of our series, Choose Your Religion.

Since Protestants rejected the Catholic faith 500 years ago, there has still been residual skepticism and animosity between these two branches of Christianity. But Evangelicals would be surprised to learn they have a lot more in common with the Catholics than they realize, especially since the Catholic Church has undergone its own reformation since the Protestants left. Sure, there are still differences in practice and theology, but there is a lot Evangelicals could glean from the Catholic faith. Dan continues our Choose Your Religion series by looking at Catholicism. Enjoy! Did you enjoy our podcast?

Paul's hope for the church in Rome is a growing and mutually encouraging community united by their faith in Christ, so his final pleas in Romans 14-16 are for love, acceptance, and unity. But if you've been a part of any type of community, you know how quickly conflict and different opinions can cause things to escalate quickly. How does Paul encourage us to be united even when we disagree? Join Dan Forest as he concludes our Romans series with chs 14 -16. Enjoy! Did you enjoy our production?

We all know what wrestling is whether it be real or staged. So why does God want to wrestle with us? Or are we talking about the same kind of wrestling? When Jacob wrestled with God, it sure seemed like it and his new name also had "wrestling" in it. Dan Forest continues our Genesis series with chapters 32 and 34. Enjoy! Did you enjoy our production?

This week: North Carolina voters turned out in record numbers for the start of in-person early voting. Lines were made longer by social distancing — the polls are open as cases of COVID-19 across the state are surging. Democratic strategist Aisha Dew and Republican Clark Reimer join host Jeff Tiberii to offer some insight into those developments, as well as a confrontational gubernatorial debate between incumbent Gov. Roy Cooper and challenger Lt. Gov. Dan Forest.

Gov. Roy Cooper was overly exuberant and excited - which struck a discordant tone at times, and at other times came across as petty. But the Democratic incumbent's supporters thought he was fiery and angry. His Republican challenger, Lt. Gov. Dan Forest, was measured in presenting a more positive and hopeful alternative to Cooper - who has led one of the most restrictive responses to COVID-19 in America.

Carolina Journal Radio celebrates its 900th weekly episode, marking more than 17 years of documenting interesting developments in N.C. politics and public policy. Using that milestone as a starting point, John Locke Foundation CEO Amy Cooke looks ahead to the future for JLF efforts to spread the message about individual freedom, personal responsibility, and limited constitutional government. Plaintiffs tied to the N.C. Association of Educators teachers union are challenging Opportunity Scholarship school vouchers in court. Opponents contend vouchers violate the state constitution, despite the fact that the N.C. Supreme Court upheld Opportunity Scholarships in 2015. Jeanette Doran, president and general counsel of the N.C. Institute for Constitutional Law, analyzes the new lawsuit. Count Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Forest among those who would like to see N.C. public schools reopen as soon as possible with students in classrooms every day. Forest explained his concerns about the state’s school reopening plans during a recent news conference. The COVID-19 pandemic could lead to long-term changes in the area of telemedicine. Dr. Brian Forrest, founder and CEO of Access Healthcare Direct, discussed telemedicine’s benefits during a recent online forum sponsored by the John Locke Foundation. Forrest explains why telemedicine could play a valuable role in the wake of the coronavirus crisis. The John Locke Foundation and the N.C. Advocates for Justice recently filed a joint amicus or “friend-of-the-court” brief in support of a Wake County property owner named Beverly Rubin. She has spent five years in a legal battle with Apex over a sewer line that the town installed across her property in 2015. Jon Guze, JLF director of legal studies, discusses the case and its important constitutional issues.

This week: American political history was made as Joe Biden introduced U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate in the presidential race. Her presence on the ticket might impact voter turnout in North Carolina. Then again, it might not. Meanwhile, Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Forest dropped a lawsuit against his gubernatorial opponent, Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper. Mitch Kokai of the John Locke Foundation and Rob Schofield from NC Policy Watch discuss those developments, plus: what Postmaster General Louis DeJoy means for 2020, and signs of relief for North Carolinians who are still out of work.

Another day, another protest in the Peak, hearing from Dan Forest and Mark Robinson on their campaign trail, and almost getting sued by the mayor? It's been a heck of a week, but so worth it.

Well that happened quick, didn’t it? The U.S. has now overtaken China for the most confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus, and there is no sign of America’s trajectory from slowing down. This is what you get when 62 million people vote for a complete clown with no leadership skills in times of need. As usual, America’s problems have been left up to the people and individual states to clean up the federal government’s mess. It took Congress almost two weeks to pass a $2 trillion relief package that’s littered with treats for large corporations, while every American will receive just $1,200. We truly live in a fucked up world. Below is what every state is doing. A quick note about the data: The data is sourced from CoronaDataScraper.com, which is relying on individual state and federal data. Naturally, some figures won’t capture the entire situation. Enjoy. ✊Today I was given a huge assist by Pia Deshpande, a senior at Columbia University, who helped out on this mammoth task with excellent research and data analysis. Thank you Pia 🙏. And also a quick thanks to friend and former colleague Ali Ingersoll for the shout out on Twitter. Greatly appreciated, it doesn’t go unnoticed!Okay, let’s get to it.

Expect many of the states in the chart immediately below to follow New York in the coming days and weeks.Number of confirmed cases in states with more than 1,000As for the rest, many have yet to be hit too hard.

The state announced its first death from the virus Wednesday morning.Cases: 56Deaths: 1AlabamaGovernor Kay Ivey last week authorized the Alabama National Guard to activate “up to 100 guardsmen, should the need arise” to combat the coronavirus.

Restaurants no longer offer dine-in services, and schools are temporarily closed.Cases: 247Deaths: 5LouisianaAll bars and restaurants to only offer takeout service and gatherings limited to 50 people or less. New Orleans accounts for around 70 percent of all cases in the state, and the surrounding Orleans Parish has the highest number of deaths per capita of any county in the country.Cases: 2,304Deaths: 83MassachusettsGovernor Charlie Baker limited gatherings to 25 people and under and closed schools. Pharmacies in the state are authorized to produce hand sanitizer and sell it over the counter.Cases: 2,417Deaths: 25MarylandGovernor Larry Hogan instituted a shelter-in-place order last week. Only essential businesses continue to have physically present personnel. Gatherings of over 50 are suspended.Cases: 583Deaths: 4MaineGatherings of more than 10 people are banned, and bars and restaurants no longer allow dine-in services. Schools are closed until further notice.Cases: 155Deaths: 0MichiganResidents have been ordered to stay at home, and all schools remain closed. Bars and restaurants offer takeout services. Detroit has been hit especially hard.Cases: 2,844Deaths: 61MinnesotaNonessential workers have been ordered to stay home as bars, restaurants, gyms and schools are all closed.Cases: 344Deaths: 2MissouriEnd to gatherings of more than 10 people ordered, but governor Mike Parsons has opted out of a stay-at-home order, citing the damage to the economy as the reason. What Mike doesn't realize is that the longer he puts off the inevitable, the deeper the recession will be in the Show Me State.Cases: 520Deaths: 9MississippiAccording to one study, Mississippi has taken the least aggressive measures of any state, despite having the 25th highest number of cases. All governor Tate Reeves has done is urge people not to gather in groups of more than 10 people, and stopped dine-in services. Great job, Tate, you the man 👍Cases: 485Deaths: 6MontanaMontana is one of those sparsely populated states that social distancing hasn't been too much of a problem. Still, a state of emergency was declared on March 12 and schools are set to be closed until April 10.Cases: 90Deaths: 1North CarolinaDemocratic governor Roy Cooper said on March 17 that all bars and restaurants would close, while takeout and delivery would remain open. But Republican lieutenant governor and Cooper’s primary opponent, Dan Forest, has said that Cooper didn't have the authority to impose such a restriction. So while the state burns down, political points are still trying to be scored. F**k my life.Cases: 755Deaths: 3North DakotaState of emergency declared on March 13 and all schools ordered to close a day later. No businesses have been ordered to close yet, meaning despite North Dakota's small population, it is playing with fire.Cases: 57Deaths: 0NebraskaPublic gatherings are limited to 10 people or less, though governor Pete Ricketts said the measure is not law enforceable. Fear not, because the mayor of Lincoln has since issued a similar order that will carry a $500 fine or three months in jail if broken. They should speak to the folks suing the government in New Hampshire…Cases: 82Deaths: 0New Hampshire… Meanwhile in New Hampshire, three residents have sued governor Chris Sununu arguing that the state's ban on gatherings of more than 50 people violates their constitutional rights. Sigh. One of the plaintiffs attends church service three times a week and claims the ban was made without due process. People, man.Cases: 154Deaths: 1New JerseyState declared a disaster yesterday as number of cases now stand second in the country behind New York, and deaths in New Jersey are 5th most. Federal funding can now be allocated to all areas impacted by the virus as its proximity to New York could mean we've yet to see the worse for The Garden State. Cases: 6,876Deaths: 81New MexicoOne of the few states that didn't wait for s**t to hit the fan before it actually acted to stop the spread. Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham declared a statewide emergency as soon as the first case were confirmed back on March 12, and then a day later closed all schools for three weeks. That's how you stop a pandemic from spreading. New Mexico's cases are still low at 9th-least in the country. Cases: 136Deaths: 1NevadaNevada saw a huge spike of new cases overnight, jumping around 67 percent, including 10 deaths in total. On March 18, Governor Steve Sisolak waived the state's seven-day wait for unemployment benefits, and declared that those applying for unemployment didn't need to demonstrate they were searching for work.Cases: 535Deaths: 10New YorkNew York has been the hardest-hit state with cases soaring to almost 40,000 and deaths to 457, the most of any state by far, and more than the likes of the UK and South Korea combined. Governor Andrew Cuomo said his state severely lacked ventilators and other crucial medical supplies, as 60 percent of the state's cases are concentrated in the New York City metro area. The good news, if you can call it that, is that the spread is slowing.Cases: 39,140Deaths: 457OhioJust like the folks in D.C. are doing, government officials in Ohio are using the coronavirus to push through political agenda. Ohio's attorney general Dave Yost ordered abortion clinics across the state to cease “nonessential and elective surgical” abortion operations. Not sure about you, but abortions are essential if you need an abortion.Cases: 870Deaths: 15OklahomaBars have closed and restaurants in OKC have been limited to take-out, drive-through and delivery. Gyms, mall food courts and movie theaters have also closed.Cases: 248Deaths: 7OregonStay-at-home order issued on Monday and all businesses where “close personal contact is difficult or impossible to avoid” have be ordered to shut. For a state so close to the outbreak in Washington, these measures feel too little too late.Cases: 317Deaths: 11PennsylvaniaThe Democratic and Republican presidential primaries due to be held on April 28 have been delayed to June 2. The AP reports that Democratic primaries cannot be held past June 16, so who the hell knows if there will even be a primary. Cases: 1,813Deaths: 18Puerto RicoNonessential workers must be home by 7pm and will have to be so until April 12. Governor Wanda Vázquez has also ordered that vehicles with license plates ending in even numbers can only be on the road Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  Vehicles with tags ending in odd numbers are only permitted to move about on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. That’s how you stop a virus. ¡Olé!Cases: 70Deaths: 3Rhode IslandChild care for essential workers will be paid for, and anyone flying back to T.F. Green Airport — the state's largest airport — must self-quarantine for two weeks. All gyms, salons, theaters, bowling alleys and other entertainment venues are closed.Cases: 165Deaths: 0South CarolinaGroups of three or more will be broken up. Dine-in services in bars and restaurants have been banned, but curb-side alcohol sales are allowed. Phew. Public schools have been closed through the end of March and public universities have been urged to finish the semester through online classes.Cases: 456Deaths: 9South DakotaSchools are closed until at least May 1, and all state employees are to work from home until at least May 2.Cases: 46Deaths: 1TennesseeGovernor Bill Lee has banned in-house dining at bars and restaurants, and closed gyms. Individual cities including Memphis and Nashville have ordered their own stay-at-home orders.Cases: 1,097Deaths: 3TexasTexas lieutenant governor Dan Patrick told Fox News that he’s willing to die from the virus in order to preserve the economy, and that “lots of grandparents” would do the same. This isn't a joke, a paid official actually said that. Twenty-four people have died in Patrick’s state.Cases: 1,654Deaths: 24UtahUtah had originally banned gatherings of 10 or more people, but has since revised that policy to being a 'recommendation' to its people. Leave people to make their own decisions, yeah real smart, Utah. Cases: 396Deaths: 1VirginiaGovernor Ralph Northam closed certain nonessential businesses and banned gatherings of more than 10 people on Tuesday until April 23.

Presidential primary voters in North Carolina gave Joe Biden a decisive win on Super Tuesday after he'd been lagging in recent polls. The primaries also confirmed that Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper will face off against Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Forest in the general election. In previous races, Forest's campaigns have benefited from insurance tycoon Greg Lindberg's big dollar contributions. A federal jury found Lindberg guilty this week of attempting to bribe the state insurance commissioner. Becki Gray of the conservative John Locke Foundation and Rob Schofield of the progressive NC Policy Watch discuss the diversity — or lack thereof — of the candidates who will be on the November ballot and whether Forest should disavow Lindberg's money now.

Joe Biden's momentum, Dan Forest outperforming Roy Cooper and the rise of "no preference" as a presidential option are among the topics discussed in the wake of North Carolina's "Super Tuesday" primaries.

Lt. Gov. Dan Forest's stance on Planned Parenthood, possible campaign finance troubles for the Sons of Confederate Veterans and a state Senate candidate's position on women in office are among the topics discussed.

Republican candidate for governor (and current lieutenant governor) Dan Forest claimed that Planned Parenthood was created to, "destroy the entire black race," during a Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration. Then on Wednesday he compared abortion to slavery.

Today’s show features: Mike Johnson, U.S. Representative for the 4th District of Louisiana, with an update on the impeachment trial. Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Leader and U.S. Representative for the 23rd District of California, with his reflections on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Dan Forest, Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina, on the racist eugenic legacy of Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood. Madeleine Kearns, Fellow in Political Journalism at the National Review Institute, and Travis Weber, FRC’s Vice President of Policy and Government Relations, on a first-of-its-kind bill in the South Dakota House that would protect minors from life-altering transgender surgery. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

North Carolina will conduct one of the nation’s most hotly contested U.S. Senate races in 2020. Incumbent Republican Thom Tillis is seeking his second term. A potential primary challenger recently dropped out of the race. Meanwhile, Democrats are competing for the right to face Tillis next fall. Rick Henderson, Carolina Journal editor-in-chief, analyzes recent developments in the highly anticipated Senate battle. He also looks at the number of names on N.C. presidential primary ballots. The college football bowl season has arrived, and college basketball teams are nearing the heart of their conference schedules. It’s a good time for Jenna Robinson, president of the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal, to remind us that big-college sports have lost all resemblance to amateur athletic contests. Robinson highlights problems associated with big-time college sports. She offers ideas for improving the situation. North Carolina’s experience with so-called “sanctuary cities” recently attracted attention on the floor of the U.S. Senate. Tillis highlighted the issue while discussing his proposed Justice for Victims of Sanctuary Cities Act. He explains how the measure would help those hurt by illegal immigrants who commit other crimes. Most people who go to prison end up returning to society. U.S. Rep. Mark Walker, R-6th District, is pushing legislation that would help former prison inmates return to lives as productive citizens. He outlined his proposals during a recent summit in Greensboro. Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper and Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Forest sent competing letters recently to N.C. public school teachers. Both letters discussed the state budget impasse that has blocked teacher pay raises. Terry Stoops, John Locke Foundation vice president for research and director of education studies, discusses the letters and their links to partisan political activity.

Republican Dan Forest wants to be promoted to governor of North Carolina.

Money for DOT and Hurricane Dorian victims, the uncomfortable timing of a political bribery trial and Lt. Gov. Dan Forest's awkward photo op with the president are among the topics discussed.

Tim and Forest even debate the quality of the architecture of the North Carolina legislative building. Forest also opens up about his mom, who was a congresswoman and why he doesn’t bring her up much on the campaign trail.

State Rep. Greg Murphy has won the Republican runoff in this year’s special 3rd District congressional election. He moves on to face Democrat Allen Thomas, plus Libertarian and Constitution Party candidates, in the Sept. 10 general election. Rick Henderson, Carolina Journal editor-in-chief, analyzes developments in this contest and the special 9th District matchup between Republican Dan Bishop and Democrat Dan McCready. A new state law places more emphasis in N.C. high schools on economics and personal financial literacy. Lt. Gov. Dan Forest and colleagues on the N.C. State Board of Education recently discussed the creation of a mandatory high school class on those topics. You’ll hear highlights from their discussion. State lawmakers are helping some school districts fill teaching positions by making it easier to rehire recent retirees. Legislation designed to remove barriers for rehired retirees moved through the General Assembly this year. Some lawmakers continue to push for reform of North Carolina’s certificate-of-need restrictions. You’ll hear debate on the latest version of CON reform moving through the chambers of the state House and Senate. Families continue to turn to homeschooling and private schools as alternatives to the traditional public school system. Terry Stoops, John Locke Foundation vice president for research and director of education studies, analyzes the latest enrollment data for both forms of parental school choice.

The 2020 general election is more than a year away, but there’s plenty of political activity at the state and federal level. Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper and Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Forest appear to be headed toward a contest for the Executive Mansion. Rick Henderson, Carolina Journal editor-in-chief, analyzes recent polling data linked to the governor’s race. Education reform represents an important goal. But reformers have a mixed record of success. That’s the assessment from Robert Pondiscio, senior fellow at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute. Pondiscio explains why education reform measures often fall short of their worthwhile goals. He offers reformers ideas for improvement. State lawmakers are pursuing changes that would relax restrictions on North Carolina’s craft distilleries. Their proposals are attracting praise from Pete Barger of Southern Distilling Company. He leads a group promoting state craft distillers. One of the most controversial bills in this year’s legislative session has involved N.C. sheriffs and federal Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. You’ll learn why some lawmakers want to compel sheriffs to comply with ICE detainers for illegal immigrants arrested for crimes. You’ll also hear critics’ objections. A chief dispute in this year’s state budget debate involves Medicaid expansion. Jordan Roberts, John Locke Foundation health care policy analyst, outlines the details of the dispute. He explains how resolution of that dispute could affect taxpayers and health care consumers.

We drop in for what will probably be the only podcast this holiday week, covering the gerrymandering decision last week and a bit of a bad week for Lt. Gov and 2020 gubernatorial candidate Dan Forest.

A day after NCGOP chairman Robin Hayes was indicted along with a major political donor, the big questions is: Who else might get wrapped up in the scandal? We examine the connections Wayne Goodwin, Mark Walker and Dan Forest have with Greg Lindberg and the chances that they might be damaged politically. We also spend time discussing Cherie Berry's impending retirement and a new proposal that would give teachers direct access to $400 apiece to buy classroom supplies. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/longleaf-politics/support

On this episode of EdTalk, host Alex Granados talks with Lieutenant Governor Dan Forest about how technology in classrooms is changing the way public schools work in the 21st Century.

What You'll Hear: Dan went to a church as a kid but didn't hear the Gospel and wasn't a Christian.  When he heard the Gospel he became a Christian, but his life didn't change much.   He got married and they went to the Billy Graham crusade. His wife accepted Christ and got involved in a Bible study.  Dan wasn't following God.  In early 1997 he got down on his knees and turned his life over to Him. As an architect he worked on moving Billy Graham's organization from Minneapolis and building the Billy Graham Library He went to the Univ. of SC for Engineering for 2 years but hated it.  He went to the UN-Charlotte Architectual School and loved it right away. His specialty was office buildings and corporate interiors.   He had a lot of fun and has no regrets. His mother was the mayor of Charlotte and a member of the U.S. Congress.  He always said he wouldn't get involved in politics because of how grueling it was on his Mom, but he really felt called to run for Lt. Gov. in 2009. "When you're really called to do something, you just have to go do it, you really can't deny it.  It really doesn't matter what the cost is." Dan is passionate about education. NC was the first state in the nation to have every single classroom connected to high speed broadband, even though it's one of the most rural states in the country.  This provides opportunities that some kids didn't have before. They opened up school choice opportunities. They gave teachers raises 6 years in a row.  No other state has done that. Dan started the Black Mountain Men's Retreat and this year it will be at the Cove. "There's no separation of our relationship with Jesus Christ when you become believers,  You're just one person driven by one set of principles." "I don't deny God...If you really believe that God is who He said He is...then you will trust in the Lord and you will follow him and tell people about Him." "I'm not called to preach as Lt. Gov but when you have opportunities you don't shy away from talking about the truth either" "This notion of truth being relative is a dangerous thing, so I believe in absolute truth" To truly love our neighbors and to love our enemies, there's a lot of crazy concepts out there in the world of politics that I believe are just as true today as they were 2000 years ago" We need to engage.  We live in a culture today that separates itself into certain ideologies and certain groups. "Turn politics off for a while.  There's a lot more to life than politics" The church has to love each other and we don't do that very well. Then we need to love our neighbor. "We don't even know who our neighbors are so how are we going to love them?" Favorite scriptures include those related to joy "The Joy of the Lord is our Strength" and Romans 12:1-2 - be living sacrifices and don't be conformed to this world He's an audible.com junkie and has a general of doing 30-50 books per year.  He loves C.S. Lewis and a lot of apologetics.  He typically alternates fiction and non-fiction. To contact call the Lt. Gov office or go to www.danforest.com or www.facebook.com/danforestnc

Dan Forest’s role as Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina includes much more than the traditional responsibilities of his office -- this week on Episode 38 of Reality Check with Jeanne Allen, Forest talks about making education a priority, using funds effectively and working in and out of the business, education and technology sectors to create a more fluid economy in his state, from encouraging advances in innovation to working in the statehouse to help policy work for every community.

The Fourth Circuit has literally taken over control of the state of North Carolina.  This is happening around the country and nobody is paying attention.  Lower federal courts are denuding state legislature of basic powers over their own internal affairs. The biggest danger is now coming from the courts mandating that legislative maps be drawn in a way that is most advantageous to Democrats.  The only thing worse than a legislative gerrymander is a judicial gerrymander.  In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we are joined by North Carolina’s LT. Governor, Dan Forest.  He discusses his lonely battle against judicial tyranny and how North Carolina is the canary in the coal mine for what the left will do to other states.   Show notes Fourth Circuit owns North Carolina Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, we were honored to have North Carolina’s Lt. Gov Dan Forest join us to discuss the judicial war on his state.  North Carolina is one of the few states where Republicans are actually standing up to the transgender jihad, fighting for religious liberty, and defending against fraudulent voting.  Yet, the federal courts have crowned themselves the final arbiter of every state and local issue.  They have granted standing to radical groups in order to “throw out” laws duly passed by the legislature. In this episode, Dan Forest discusses with Daniel the importance of states doing the right thing and the need for Congress to protect them from an overbearing federal executive and judiciary.  What is going on in North Carolina is a perfect example of why conservatives must also focus down ballot and ensure that champions like Dan Forest are reelected so that states can remain the last line of defense for liberty.  At some point, if Congress declines to stand up for the states, they will have no choice but to say no and take back their rightful power over state and local affairs.  Dan Forest explains why, through a convergence of factors, North Carolina has become ground zero in the fight for federalism.      Show links   The Judicial War on North Carolina     Learn more about your ad choices.

Joining Audrey for this week's REELTalk -  Alexis de Tocqueville once said, “America is great because America is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to great.” The clash of cultures has never been so apparent than the conflict we now find our country engaged in, with this administration…and it’s aimed at innocent women & children. HB2 in NC is an effort to preserve the good that de Tocqueville referred to. Have we been misinformed on the facts concerning that law? You bet we have…and we'll be getting the truth straight from North Carolina's Lt Gov DAN FOREST. Plus, Gen. Petraeus believes that the real threat and incitement of terrorism is what he calls anti-Muslim bigotry. Is he correct? Are those on the Left and some on the Right, being duped concerning what they know about Donald Trump, by their own bias against him? We'll get answers from author Dr. ANDREW BOSTOM!
