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 405 | It’s Time to Make Deportations Great A...
Today, we celebrate Trump’s pick of Mark Morgan, a friend of this podcast, as ICE director. I explain why Morgan gets what is at stake and how ICE is central to not only solving the criminal alien problem with interior enforcement but deterring the new flow at the border now. Moreover, the president has made several other good decisions on immigration, but we need to make sure this is not another example of one step forward, two steps back.   Next, I explain that with one-third of Central Americans desiring to migrate here, we will never be able to end the flow by declaring open borders and hoping it ends. There is a bottomless well of those who want to come here. This is why the only way to secure our border is to assert our sovereignty and not worry about other push factors in other countries.  Show links Trump admin going after Social Security fraud among illegals …But flooding us with 30,000 more low-skilled workers Why Mark Morgan is the right man at the right time for ICE director   Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Ep 404 | Virtue-Signaling, False Morality, and ...
The essence of why we are losing civilization is because we have nobody who is willing to speak to the morality of issues. The Left’s entire foundation is built upon speaking to the morality of their immorality, but our side has no political or religious leaders capable of doing that any more. Through that prism, I discuss some of the news of the day on immigration, foreign policy, crime, and health care to demonstrate how easy it is to speak to the morality of conservatism, and why now, more than ever, voters are swayed by quasi “values” arguments more than simply a good job market. Plus, the latest on Afghanistan and the border, and how that ties into a crisis of values and articulation of morality.  Show links Why Trump’s new border directive is a step in the right direction but still underwhelming 2 more Californians killed by illegal alien DUIs that the media covered up Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Ep 403 | What We Should and Shouldn’t Do in Ven...
Today, you will hear everything you need to know about the turmoil in Venezuela, what it means for America, what we should do and what we shouldn’t do. We are joined by Joseph Humire, executive director of the Center for a Secure Free Society and one of the foremost experts on terrorism in Latin America, to brief us on what you are not seeing behind the scenes with the Maduro regime and in the broader Latin American geopolitical scene. The bottom line is that our failure to focus properly on Latin America has allowed Russia, China, and Iran to work with the Bolivarian revolution of far-leftists in Venezuela, Cuba, and several other countries to destabilize our neighborhood. We can’t turn that around on a dime, and coming in with a military invasion will not help. It will make things worse.  We need to fight asymmetrical warfare with asymmetrical warfare, according to Humire.  He gives us a blueprint for doing so in a way that doesn’t just treat the symptoms of Maduro, but the broader illness of what has taken root in Latin America.  Meanwhile, both Congress and the defense establishment continue to get our priorities wrong in the world.  Show links  The insanity of Afghanistan Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Ep 402 | Let’s Stop Dying for Somebody Else's S...
On today’s show, I discuss the dos and don’ts of Venezuela and how our government always does dumb things for other countries but not prudent things for our own. Why are we not putting the military option on the table to deal with the cartels when we put it on the table for the safety of other countries' citizens, even when there is no logical outcome?   I discuss how to strategically counter Cuba and Russia in a smarter way than an aimless military expedition in Venezuela and how we need to be doing that anyway to defend our own sovereignty and strategic interests.   Next, I discuss how “soft sanctuaries” are ensuring that a lot of gang members and cartel associates are let go without ever being turned over to ICE. Furthermore, we are paying for the rope to hang ourselves, as illegal aliens who themselves pay for cartels to smuggle in other teen relatives get to reap the benefits of their act on our dime.  Show links Leader of border militia ordered jailed pending trial...

Why is nobody discussing the humanitarian crisis of criminal justice "reform" and illegal immigration from the American vantage point in terms of diseases, criminals, and terrorists being brought into this country?  On today’s show, I prove that career crime, and certainly crime committed by foreign nationals, is, by definition, avoidable carnage. I go through the jailbreak debate and note how this criminal justice deform movement is killing Americans the media will never report on. I also go through numerous cases of criminal aliens and terrorist aliens we allowed to remain in this country.  Finally, I give you an update on our border, the diseases coming in, and how the administration’s policies are too little, too late.

Ep 400 | Are We Doing Enough to Secure Our Nort...
Today, in honor of my 400th episode, I have a special guest, Jason Owens, to discuss the state of the northern border. Owens (follow him on Twitter) is chief patrol agent of the Houlton sector in Maine. He brings with him over 22 years of experience in both the southern and northern border sectors, as well as with the agency’s special operations division.  Owens warns us that the criminals, terrorists, and bad guys are at an advantage against law enforcement across our thousands of miles of open border, which includes the Canadian border as well as the maritime borders. He gives us an insider's look into the mechanics of those borders and demonstrates the need to direct more focus to them. It’s likely that we are only apprehending a fraction of those who actually come across those borders. There are roughly 2,000 agents for 5,500 miles of border with Canada, and now 10-15 percent of those resources are drained off to deal with the southern border. The bottom line is that the northern border is most troubling in the types of people coming over, rather than the number of people. When it comes to the northern border, Owens warns us that we don’t know what we don’t know.

Ep 399 | It’s Time to Remember the Alamo
It’s time to stop telegraphing punches and then not punching. It’s time to punch. It’s time to remember the Alamo. Trump needs to act on immigration, even if he fails us on every other issue.  More broadly, I delve into the essence of the social transformation of our country and how we are at a crossroads as a nation. We must force immediate action to hold the line at our border and end the social transformation. Otherwise, we won't even have enclaves of “sanctuaries” for our values.    Show links  5-time deported alien stomps baby to death Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Mexico is worse off than you think, and it’s holding on by a thread. Our government’s lack of regard for defending our sovereignty will have devastating consequences if the Mexican government officially collapses, according to our special guest.  Today, I am joined by Col. Dan Steiner (@coldan11), a retired Air Force veteran who served as the director of joint operations for the Texas Military Forces until 2010. He directed coordination between the Texas Military Forces and NORTHCOM for many years and also served at CENTCOM. Mexico is a nation on the edge, and it’s time we finally concoct a strategy to deal with it, warns Col. Steiner. Mexico could be on the precipice of an Arab Spring-style uprising, which could induce mass migration from Mexico itself, adding to the Central American migration. Steiner warns that now is the time to close the border, create a buffer zone, and begin engaging militarily rather than treating the Mexico issue as untouchable. He also discusses the looming threat of subversion from other enemies through the chaos in Mexico as well as the threats from terrorism coming through the border.

Forget about Russian interference in our elections, how about surrendering our homeland to Mexico and all the foreign actors controlling Mexico's government, including the Russians? On today’s show, I explain why we are being lied to about the incident that took place last week with Mexican soldiers disarming our soldiers on our soil. Mexicans can essentially attack us with guns and be counted in the census and we are to believe there is nothing we can do about it. Then, I show you exactly how much crime we are enduring from illegal aliens who should not be here. I also show how the Supreme Court, even when it sides with us, is really part of an Overton Window-style defeat mechanism.

Today, somebody you will never hear from on the Fox News circuit. Zach Taylor, a veteran retired border agent, joins me to discuss the latest trends at the border. Our government is lying to us and not following the law, according to Taylor. He tells us that the incident where Mexican soldiers detained our soldiers was clearly deliberate and was designed to send us a message. Taylor further sheds light on the extent of the problems we have with contagious diseases and how Fox News doesn’t allow anyone to mention it.

Ep 395 | Now Trump Needs to Go After the Real F...
With everyone talking about the Russian collusion hoax and Mueller, now would be the best time for Trump to go on offense and take action against the true foreign influence over America – illegal immigration. I go through numerous fresh stories of how illegal aliens not only influence our society, elections, judicial system, and politics, but downright control them. And what about the dangerous and evil cartels essentially having control of our border? There are so many stories of dangerous illegal aliens being allowed to remain in our country and turn rural areas into violent enclaves. Finally, I explain how the laws on the books deny all of the lawfare today and were designed to prevent it all. Under expedited removal, every illegal alien can be deported without access to the courts.    Show links Omaha, Nebraska, now a cesspool of drugs and crime thanks to illegal aliens and Sudanese refugees Illegal aliens are a clear and present danger of contagious disease, part 1 and part 2 Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

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?

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.
