Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

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 a...

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...

Today, I discuss the need for conservatives to stop getting distracted by debate over Trump and start building an enduring conservative movement on all important issues. We need it now and we need it for tomorrow. What are the consequences if we don’t? Tune in to find out. 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...

 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 hi...

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 simpl...

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.  Ne...

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 fr...

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...

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...

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 "s...

On today’s show, we learn the ancient and timely lesson of the Golden Calf and how it defines much of the conservative movement and its outlets in recent years. The Left seeks talking points for policies, "conservatives" seek policies for talking points. I study this new aphorism in the context of how the conservative media has now made Lindsey Graham a hero just in time to prevent us from beating...

We can’t adjudicate or investigate our way out of an invasion. Today, I am joined by Jaeson Jones, retired captain in the Texas Rangers and expert on Mexican cartels, to discuss why the president should designate the cartels as terror groups and what effect that would have on both our government and the Mexican government in combatting the source of the border problem.  Then, I explain why Justice...

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...

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 pre...

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...

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 a...

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 a...

Whether it’s the illegal immigration numbers or the debt numbers, we are losing. Badly. We have two options: We can pressure this administration to implement the successful policies and strategies it has at its disposal to fight on those two fronts, or we can continue making excuses, or worse, deny there’s a problem altogether, as the president has done recently. Today, I go through the Trump budg...

Today, I lay it all out on the line in what might be one of the most important episodes ever. I give you the full case for why we will never be a free and sovereign people on any issue, much less the issue of border security, unless the president begins pushing back against the lower courts.  I weave together what is going on at our border and in recent court opinions nobody is talking about to de...

In case you think I’m crazy about the severity of judicial tyranny, take it from Josh Hammer, who is a legal expert and worked in this broken legal profession.  Josh Hammer is editor-at-large of "The Daily Wire," as well as a counsel for worthy legal causes. He explains from his experience in law school and clerking for a federal appeals court why even conservatives are missing the boat on the rul...

Do you want a firsthand account of the problems at the border from a man who has lived on it his entire life? Well, today I am joined by Jim Chilton, a lifelong rancher who owns a 50,000-acre ranch right on the border in central Arizona. Chilton explains why he is concerned with the strategy of Washington to only patrol from operating bases well away from the border rather than holding the line ri...

There are deep and shallow state officials in this administration who continue to give the president bad policy and political advice on immigration. I give you inside information on how USCIS and others are continuing to incentivize this invasion rather than deter it. I also discuss the problems with the courts and how, if we allow lower court supremacy to continue, there is no purpose to this pre...

So many conservative “leaders” are supercharged from Trump’s speech at CPAC, but while they focus on vanity, the Left continues to win in the political culture, law, and elections. Nowhere is this more evident than what they are doing with election law.  Today I am joined by Logan Churchwell, communications and research director for the Public Interest Legal Foundation, who spends his time fightin...

There’s a reason I didn’t attend CPAC and never have before. It embodies everything wrong with the faux conservative movement.  In this episode, I build on some of our principles in recent weeks to demonstrate why CPAC and the movement it embodies are a defeat mechanism that hurt us in the very battles they claim to fight. I explain the latest insane court decisions on immigration and how the Trum...

Our sovereignty is being stolen by the courts meddling in illegal immigration and election law, yet so many of our people continue to focus their attention on the daily soap opera.  The conservative movement has become so acculturated to illegitimate judicial supremacism that we now celebrate winning back crumbs from the cakes that they stole from us. I go through the latest court rulings on relig...
