Böcker av Jason Chaffetz

Why does it feel like no matter what happens in American politics, the Democrats still get their way? When he left Congress in 2017, Jason Chaffetz still thought elections could save us. For generations, conservatives have hoped that freedom-loving congressional majorities could turn back the tide and restore America's liberties and prosperity. But now, he says, winning elections will not be enough. Increasingly, the work of government is being done by people outside the government--unelected power brokers who are invisible to the American public but who pull the strings, set the agendas, create the incentives, and write the rules we must all live by. Using both government and non-governmental institutions, leftists have bypassed the legislative process to compel institutional compliance with partisan goals. The White House or the Congress may change hands, but the left remains in power. In The Puppeteers, Chaffetz reveals how: Susan Rice was put in charge of using the bureaucracy to make sure Republicans never win another electionThe federal government now could be deployed to harvest ballots from DemocratsPresident Biden hired a Blackrock executive to run his economic agenda for the first two years of his presidencyState treasurers planned to use billions of government dollars to "address climate change" and "racial inequality," with almost no way for voters to stop themRandi Weingarten makes more decisions for the education department than people who actually work thereElecting the right leaders is no longer enough. To take back our country, the American people need to understand that they're in a new fight. But it's a fight that's still eminently winnable, and Chaffetz reveals the playbook.

Two-time New York Times bestselling author Jason Chaffetz is back to blow the lid off the Democrats' attempts to spend unparalleled trillions and rewrite our election laws while never letting us get back to normal.Why did the left think they could solve the pandemic with burning cities, closed beaches, blue state budget bailouts, and mail-in ballots nobody asked for? The coronavirus has been a disaster for America, but it's been an unprecedented opportunity for the left. In They Never Let a Crisis Goes to Waste, Jason Chaffetz delves into progressive efforts to leverage crises to force their priorities into law. Whether the crisis is legitimate, fabricated, or exaggerated, the solution is always the same: more government, less individual freedom, higher spending, higher taxes.He explores how disaster liberalism subjugates individual freedoms to political expediency in times of crisis, and how Republicans need to be ready for next time. Because when we allow government power to become unlimited in a crisis, the crises will become unlimited. Across the board, Democrat leaders exploited the pandemic to achieve their agenda, invoking disaster liberalism to justify unpopular and unconstitutional power grabs. Virginia Governor Ralph Northam signed a gun control bill on April 10?three weeks into pandemic?because he wouldn't have to put up with tens of thousands of protestors. Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers announced he was making it a criminal offense to attend church or go to work, only to see his overreach struck down by the state supreme court. Nancy Pelosi rammed through a $3 trillion liberal wish list filled with proposals unrelated to COVID-19, that immediately died in the Senate.If not for the courts and local media, many of the Democrats' schemes would have successfully been implemented. As it was, many were?and many of the most egregious violations of Americans' rights were celebrated across the left. In They Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste, Chaffetz uncovers Democrats' game plan and calls upon all Americans to protect ourselves against future incursions. If we don't pay attention, the left will use every crisis to implement its radical plan, steadily eroding the freedoms we all hold dear. Only the American people have the power to stop the left's next power grab, as Chaffetz shows in this powerful, thoroughly-researched call to action.

New York Times bestselling author, Fox News contributor, and former Congressman Jason Chaffetz reveals how an unelected bureaucracy—and not just the government—is infringing on our rights. For years, many Americans have increasingly felt that their votes don’t change things. While the powerful unelected bureaucracy has certainly instituted liberal policies that Americans don’t want, there is another force pushing leftism into American society.From nonprofit leaders to union bosses to global CEOs, many unelected and unchanging leaders have worked in parallel with the aims of “permanent Washington.” Through everything from curriculum to ESG standards, these leaders have quietly mainstreamed progressivism. Ideas that used to be only on the left are now “normal” in American life. In The Puppeteers, Jason Chaffetz exposes a host of unchecked actors who influence American life in profound ways and tells you what you can do about it.

How did the Deep State become so unstoppable?The Deep State is real. They don't like exposure, accountability, or responsibility. They fight back, outlast, and work the system to their advantage. Sometimes even conservatives talk about the Deep State as though it's just dumb, inefficient bureaucracy.In fact, just the opposite is true. The Deep State is unconstitutional, organized, and exceptionally good at protecting themselves from supervision. As chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Jason Chaffetz was the tip of the spear challenging the Deep State and trying to hold them accountable. He took on the powerful forces at the IRS, the EPA, the DOJ, the Department of State, and others. ?The deeper I dove in, the more shocking the brazen approach by the power brokers. They were used to operating anonymously and without consequence. This is a problem bigger than we can even imagine and getting worse unless we do something dramatic to wrestle back control.?His stories are as enraging as they are endless. Every department employs highly paid workers whose primary role is to keep their work secret from Congress and the public. Every department has an agenda they believe cannot be constrained by the democratic process. Every department is filled with people who believe they deserve steadily rising paychecks for less work than they would have to do at a private company.While this metastasizing corruption tends to support Democrats, they will work with any party that lets them grow unchecked. That's why they feel they must stop the anti-establishment agenda of Donald Trump.The Deep State has been in place for a long time. In this surprisingly entertaining and optimistic book, Jason Chaffetz highlights their tactics, illuminates the problems, and offers a way to fight back and win.
