Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

In Washington, politicians are full of half-truths and hot air. They do little more than grandstanding by spouting off talking points and spin. The Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz is here to help you cut through the rhetoric and noise and explore the politically right way to think about the issues .

Ep 394 | Confronting Our Challenges on Immigrat...
The attorney general announced new guidance for holding single adults filing bogus asylum claims. Today, I explain why, until now, we have only been treating the symptoms and not categorically speaking the truth about the invasion and having our policies reflect that. Whether this is a turning point for the administration or not will largely depend on what the administration does next. I explain why this move alone will not address the problem. Next, I bring on Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, to discuss what this invasion is doing to his home state. Chip wonders why it’s so hard for his colleagues to speak categorically with moral authority on this issue. We also speak about his goals on health care and how, again, Republicans are incapable of speaking directly and categorically on an issue. “It’s important we get the right narrative and talk about it often – that we want 21st century health care … we need to go on offense and quit apologizing,” thunders Chip in an epic monologue. Finally, I give you the truth you won’t hear elsewhere about how Obamacare has created a monopoly for corporate conglomerates and is destroying private practice in America.   Show links Is the admin taking up the tent city idea?  How is this not an invasion?

Ep 393 | Open Border Plus Judicial Supremacy Eq...
With the painful burning of Notre Dame on everyone’s mind, I explore what exactly a burning Western civilization looks like. It all gets back to open borders, social transformation, and judicial supremacism.  I explain through the prism of a radical judge’s recent racist speech against Trump how Jefferson and Madison warned about the slippery slope of judicial supremacism. I also delve into how we have allowed this supremacism to nullify the most foundational laws of any civilization, those governing the borders of the nation-state itself.  Show links Jefferson’s letter to Abigail Adams on judicial supremacy Trump admin grants 750K work permits to illegal alien bogus asylum-seekers Carton Reeves’ speech calling for a judicial coup against America  Victor Davis Hanson on how illegal immigration changes our civilization Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Ep 392 | The Single Worst Policy of Our Government
And the single worst policy of our government is … tax withholdings!  On today’s show, in honor of Tax Day 2019, I take stock of our nation’s tax policy and show how withholdings ensures that those who pay too much in taxes don’t realize it and how those who don’t pay anything think they do. The mixture of our progressive system with the concept of withholdings has ensured that our government can grow socialism and illegal immigration on our dime without a revolt.  Next, while marking the sixth anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing, I explore a number of recent cases where we’ve brought in volatile immigrant populations who have turned violent on Americans. Finally, I explore the problem of people coming from these same countries with diseases. Whatever happened to immigration in the public interest?     Show links People coming for anchor babies Pack of Somali and Congolese refugees charged with stomping man to death last year Somali charged with throwing 3-year-old boy off a balcony at Mall of America 20 Congolese migrants being monitored for Ebola and other diseases   Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Ep 391 | Let’s not forget the media caused this...
While the courts are certainly responsible for the border invasion, along with the feebleness of this administration, let’s not forget the role the media played.  We take you back to last summer when the media virtue signaled beyond belief over the so-called separation of families.  This induced the judge to issue his decision and Congress followed suit.  But why is DHS’s media affairs department not working with conservative journalists to tell the other side of the story?   Did you know this administration handed out over 700,000 work permits over two years to bogus asylum seekers?    Finally, we discuss crazy lower court judges and why they have no fear of Supreme Court precedent.      Show links   It’s illegal immigration that’s hurting commerce, not the response to it   A judge who ignores his own branches judicial norms calls Trump the KKK for criticizing judges   Oregon judge basically ignores the landmark Janus ruling on forced union dues   Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

We are being lied to. Illegal aliens are being released in droves with communicable diseases, and they are not getting screened or vaccinated. Yes, they are getting immediate medical attention to protect them, but not long-term screening to protect Americans from communicable diseases. We the people do not matter. It’s worse than that. I share with you a supposition I have based on conversations with border officials and examining some data that most of these illegal aliens aren’t even asserting a credible fear. Yet Border Patrol is being told to process them in anyway instead of sending them for expedited removal.   Show links I told you so!

Ep 389 | How Bad Will the Border Get Before Sen...
Senate Republicans will not bring a single piece of legislation to the floor or even rhetorically address the border invasion in a meaningful way. Meanwhile, the administration continues to flounder, but Stephen Miller is trying to inject some sanity into its policies. Rather than focusing on the invasion, Senate Republicans are more concerned about Stephen Miller.  I break down the latest border numbers and distill their meaning. There are a lot of things the administration can be doing. During the second half, I discuss the lessons of Israel’s elections and how that ties into Federalist 10 and the need for a new party. Israel’s right-wing parties have successfully kept the main right party in check, something we don’t have the luxury of doing here. I explain why Madison would have wanted more political parties once we began with this system and how we’d be better off with a new one to keep the GOP in check.    Show links 9 shocking border statistics GOP senators want to stop Stephen Miller, not the border invasion Mexico issues humanitarian visas, which should put them on the hook for asylum, not us The epidemic of illegal alien child molesters Federalist 10 Nielsen always cared about her media image more than protecting our border   Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Today, I discuss the latest insane court rulings that are single-handedly responsible for our border crisis. These courts are violating their powers. I explain why courts have no jurisdiction in foreign affairs and why Trump now has an opportunity to use the latest case to issue an ultimatum to the Supreme Court – either enforce your own precedents on the lower courts, or we will. We further explore the problem of criminal aliens and how our country is left wide open while we send our troops to die in Afghanistan but not to defend our border.  Finally, I end with a strategy for Texas to counter-sue the administration and force the immigration issue and the problem of universal injunctions to a head so we can finally do away with this nonsense.  Show links Thanks to judges, illegal aliens and evil smugglers are scamming us and killing us with the proceeds The list of California judges who destroyed our border Deter, defend, and demagnetize: My plan for the border ICE arrests numerous drunk drivers, drug traffickers, and child molesters Motel 6 forced to pay millions … for cooperating with ICE!

We’ve seen this play out over and over again. We hear good news on policy or personnel decisions in this administration, but then the opportunity gets yanked away from us. Often, it is our fault because we fail to mobilize quickly enough. I begin today’s discussion by analyzing the latest shake-ups at the Department of Homeland Security and who should be the next DHS secretary as well as directors of ICE and CBP. At the very least, this will keep the border issue alive in the news cycle. Next, I demonstrate how Roberts and Kavanaugh are now the ultimate steaks that were yanked away from us. We thought we finally had a conservative Supreme Court…right? Think again. Kavanaugh is worse than we thought. Next, I discuss how the attorney general is more concerned about accusations that transgender recruits to the FBI were “discriminated" against, rather than working to solve the lawfare against our sovereignty. Finally, the economy is doing well, but not as well as it should be given the job market. Why? The debt is so out of control that it is inhibiting our growth right now, not just in the future.       Show links I warned you that Kavanaugh would be like Roberts AG Barr is more concerned about having more transgenders in the FBI than fixing our rule of law Spending is 13.7% higher than even during Obama’s final year Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Are we going to allow ourselves to get sucked into the Overton window, dumb down our expectations, and destroy any morsel of conservatism left? Today, I discuss why the president is trying to tamp down conservative rebellion right at the time when we need to protest his surrender at the border. I explain why the entire notion of Mexico helping us do something we should do on our own is offensive and how this will be used to get us acclimated to a "new normal" of mass migration. That way, if the flow ebbs slightly for a few months, but still remains historically high, he can make us feel like we’re winning. Really, we will wind up moving that Overton window again and again.  Show links 373k DACA amnesty permits given out by Trump because of a single judge Illegals suing us for following the law!

Today I'm joined by Todd Bensman, national security fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies, to discuss the findings of his latest trip to tour Hungary’s border wall. Todd gives us the history of the great Middle Eastern migration into Europe in 2014 and how Hungary and several neighboring countries dealt with it. Yes, they built a wall, but they also had a will and the policies to make the wall effective. Each country cared about its own sovereignty, which forced a chain reaction of other countries to deal with the problem in a sensible way. He also discusses some of the successes of Australia’s conservative political party in keeping out migrants by boat.  The bottom line is that these countries believe in themselves as nations while we don’t.

I update you on shutting down the border – what it means and what it doesn’t, and what the president should do. And then there's jailbreak.  Finally, I discuss the conservative victory in the race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court and demonstrate why we need to strip the federal courts of power and the advantages to allowing state courts to decide major issues.  Show links  Why the call for more legal immigration is absurd The distinction between shutting down commerce and suspending immigration requests We don’t need new laws, we need new will   Jared’s leftist coup Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

 We were promised law and order from this administration, but what we are getting on drugs, crime, and immigration is the exact opposite. The administration is getting ready for weaker-on-crime initiatives. Meanwhile, conservatives who stand down are doing the president no favors. When the president spoke about being tougher on drug traffickers a few weeks ago, he was speaking off the cuff from his heart; when he was talking about more jailbreak legislation last night, he was speaking from a teleprompter.  I explain how the answers to the existing border problem are in current law.

I don’t mince words in this episode. Let’s face it, conservative media no longer believes in biblical values or holding the line on any modicum of traditional values. They no longer believe in holding the line on crime. They no longer believe in holding the line on health care or welfare or spending or entitlements.  Why? Because conservatives don’t have their own beliefs any more. It’s that simple. We keep drifting and codify one left-wing absurdity after another into our lexicon and thoughts. Finally, the latest insane court ruling on drilling shows how conservatives have given away the farm on judicial supremacy for so long that unless we reverse course, no amount of appointing better judges will make a difference.

Notice how every last thing the president or any red state does is immediately attacked by some random district judge? Not an hour goes by without some radical ruling. Today, I go through some of those cases to explain the power of courts and when they overstep their boundaries. Until we push back against the notion that courts can strike down policies in the abstract, we are done as a nation.  Next, I prove that Brett Kavanaugh is Susan Collins in a black robe. He uses language that is very problematic from a conservative standpoint, and he is now open to this wacky notion of judicially mandated proportional representation. Time will tell how bad he will be, but he clearly is a judicial supremacist. Show links Will Kavanaugh screw us on redistricting?

Today, I explain that all of the phony legal excuses for not stopping this border invasion are a crock. I go through each lie and show how, in fact, other district judges have said that what the government is doing is prohibited by law. Our sovereignty reigns supreme. We are being lied to about what the laws really say on asylum, unaccompanied minors, and the so-called Flores settlement. I show from past history how we never allowed a mass influx of migrants to continue beyond a few weeks, and those migrations were much smaller and more justified than the current one. Also, I touch on the golden calf of some so-called conservative members buying into the entitlement of paid family leave. Not only will it bankrupt us, it will distort the market and actually hurt women. Key quote “For this you have every inducement of sympathy and interest. Citizens, by birth or choice, of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism more than any appellation derived from local discriminations. With slight shades of difference, you have the same religion, manners, habits, and political principles. You have in a common cause fought and triumphed together; the independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint counsels, and joint efforts of common dangers, sufferings, and successes.” ~George Washington, Farewell Address Show links Judge Hanen says what we are doing now at the border is criminal This is the worst border crisis ever GoFundMe for Paige Gomer, woman killed by illegal alien  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Why is it that Republicans will only focus on the issues, parlance, and premises laid out by the Democrats? Today, I contrast the agenda of the Democrat-controlled House to that of the Republican-controlled Senate to show how Democrats are the sun and Republicans are the earth, orbiting around their sphere.  I go through the liberal policies being promoted by some in the White House and even some “conservative” members of Congress. There’s now a “conservative” solution to everything except for what actually is conservative. We’ve lost our identity.  Finally, I give a sermon on how the Left has destroyed health care in America and how Republicans fail to give a vision of what health care should look like. I offer a glimpse into that vision.  Show links Even Democrat counties in California are backing off sanctuary policies, yet Republicans won’t act Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

When is it appropriate to sue a law or a policy in court, what is the role of the court in taking these cases, and where do the other branches of government fit in to the scheme of things? In this foundational show, I use recent cases on guns, free speech, immigration, and Obamacare to give a vision of what the conservative view is about the role of the courts on rules of standing, the outcome of their rulings, and constitutional interpretation of fundamental rights. I also show how the courts are hypocritical in all ways and will flip fundamental rights, rules of standing, and state and federal powers upside-down.

On today’s show, I explain the significance of the closing of the Muller probe and some lessons to derive from it. But winning the Mueller fight is not an end to itself; rather, it should be a means of clearing the path to finally focus on the policies that matter. What is it we want to accomplish over the next 2-6 years as conservatives? Trump should use his new political capital to announce a "sovereignty surge." I list about a dozen ideas the president should pursue that will not only put points on the board to make America great again, but put the Democrats on defense and prevent them from focusing on endless investigations.  Show links Department of Education is essentially Obama’s third term thanks to the courts 10 ways Trump should spend his post-Mueller political capital Over 50,000 illegals from terrorist countries who have still not been deported, despite final orders Talk about Russian collusion!

Today, I go through four important immigration principles that explain what is going on, on both the legal and political sides. 1) You can’t adjudicate yourself out of an invasion. 2) Nothing trumps sovereignty of a nation. 3) An invasion through lawfare and migration is worse than a conventional invasion. 4) Unless we believe in our own sovereignty and push back against the lawfare wholesale, no new statutes will change anything.  I explain the history of how illegals got so many rights to litigate when we used to deport hundreds of thousands within a few months without any hearings in the Eisenhower era.  The people never voted for these changes, and indeed our laws have been supplanted by lawfare. I also discuss some of the lessons of the Haitian migration crisis of the early 1990s. Finally, I explain why the Supreme Court victory on criminal alien detentions is another example of winning a single battle while losing the war on sovereignty.  Show links 1 million illegals with final deportation orders not deported Court ruling in Nielsen v.

On today’s show, we go through the history of the Mariel boatlifts from Cuba, the Nicaraguan migration in 1989, and the Haitian boat people in the early 1990s to show how past presidents, including Bill Clinton, refused to tolerate an invasion through bogus asylum. There is nothing new about what is happening with Central Americans. What is new is that we have a government unwilling to do what previous presidents did to shut it down, whether it was preventing them from landing or setting up tent cities. Finally, I round off the show with a lightning round of stories you might have missed, from ethanol and Tim Scott blocking more judicial nominees to how Fox News is now censoring conservative thought on what is supposed to be the conservative network.  Show links It’s about building the will even more than building the wall Washington Post chronicles a “conveyor belt”-style invasion into our country When the US set up tent cities and shipped out bogus asylum-seekers right away Clinton banned all Haitian asylum-seekers   What happens when we crown Fox News king of conservative thought   Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

The hypocrisy of today’s Senate vote to disapprove of Trump’s emergency power is perfidious. These same people who will not lift a finger or utter a word to fight back against judicial power grabs or Obama’s executive amnesty that caused this very border fight we are in today suddenly find religion on Article I of the Constitution. Why is not a single one of these so-called conservatives forcing a vote on sanctuary cities? The latest murder victim in California will never be known to these people because they only care about what the media tells them to.  Finally, I address the news that Trump has “flipped the Third Circuit” and why this alone will ultimately not make much of a difference in deterring the Left’s use of the courts to destroy America.       Show links Dems prepare to pack the courts when they are in charge An illegal alien allegedly brutally murders an American in a sanctuary Where’s the congressional outrage over judicial power grabs?   Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Are we really done as a sovereign nation? Is there really nothing the president can do under existing law to stop this insane invasion, which is harmful for Americans and migrants alike? Today, I am joined by Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies to discuss the commonsense tools in the president’s arsenal to deter this invasion and demagnetize our border. Vaughan explains how DHS already has an emergency plan to detain everyone in tent cities and create a “rocket docket” to adjudicate their claims within a few days. This would solve the problems of catch-and-release, the court backlog, and the exposure of Americans to infinite problems from illegal immigration. It would also disincentivize future flows. In addition, Vaughan informs us that ICE could deport all those who abscond from their court appearances, but clearly is not doing so for political reasons. Finally, we discuss the latest with sanctuary cities and how they are worse than ever before now that they are being empowered by the legal profession.      Show links Jessica Vaughan’s border plan Illegal alien with 10 detainers let out by sanctuary city and murdered woman   Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

First I explore some places where we have lost our sense as conservatives of where our policy baseline is on culture and immigration. Ilhan Omar’s views on Jews, as Democrats now admit, stem from a cultural problem. When did we believe it’s acceptable to bring in people in such large numbers from cultures that don’t share our universal values? Even Democrats of yesteryear warned against it. This also ties into what is going on at our southern border, where we have countenanced this notion that we must admit anyone who comes here, no matter the consequences to our culture, schools, public services, and public health. The emergency continues to intensify.   Next, I'm joined by Rep. Chip Roy of Texas’ 21st Congressional District. He updates us on the state of play on budget and health care after today’s Budget Committee hearing on the president’s annual budget request. We explore how Republicans refuse to go on offense and continue to accept the soft, inexorable slide into socialism. He also weighs in on his latest bill, co-sponsored by Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., to designate some of the Mexican cartels as terrorist groups as part of a holistic approach to the sources of our border, immigration, and drug problems.     Show links Border Patrol ceding lands to the cartels This administration is making the fence moot with lawfare The new Roy/Green Bill to designate the cartels as terrorists The good and bad of Trump’s budget Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved
