Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

I continue our discussion on how the conservative legal movement is not only wrong about the power of the courts, but is pushing certain judicial nominees who are part of the problem. Next, I address the congressional resolution of disapproval on Trump’s emergency declaration. A lot of people don’t realize that Congress actually originally had the power to veto such a declaration without needing t...

Do you know why we continue to get screwed by Republican-appointed judges?  Because so many of the people pushing them are really progressive libertarians, not even traditional libertarians, much less conservatives.  On today’s show, I update you on Republican Sen. Josh Hawley’s fight for a modicum of social conservatism and the concerns he is raising about Neomi Rao, Trump’s nominee to the D.C. C...

Today, I continue the theme of how so many “conservatives” you see on TV have accepted foundational premises of the Left on key issues. Nowhere is this more evident than with birthright citizenship. I offer a unique history lesson explaining exactly what our Founders meant by “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” and a wild fact about Chester Arthur.  I also show how too many conservative legal sc...

Pick a single issue and decide for yourself whether there are enough conservative figures giving a vision on it. In today’s action-packed show, I delve into how the policies and personnel in this administration are not conservative on many fronts, yet the phony conservative media doesn’t care about protecting the pro-MAGA people in the administration. Instead, they are now obsessed with playing th...

On today’s very special show, I am joined by Joel Edwards, a county commissioner in Hidalgo County, New Mexico. His county has been at the center of the border surge over the past few months, and his residents are being hit by a cascading series of worsening events. Joel’s message is that the political elites cannot fathom what it’s like to live in such remote areas. His residents' way of life is...

What ever happened to those thousands of people who came here belligerently in a caravan of 10,000+ and were stopped by Mexican authorities in Tijuana last November?  The president claims that they have been blocked, but the reality is that many of them are the groups coming in at other parts of the border.  Today, I am joined by Todd Bensman (@bensmanTodd), senior national security fellow for the...

Today, I review how Trump is implementing the wrong executive action and is only doing so to hide the fact that he betrayed us. I analyze the problems with the bill and the political problems with the particular action he is taking and the way he is expressing it.  What should he do instead? Later on, I touch on the fact that this spending binge is worse than ever before and demonstrates why you c...

This is Trump’s “Elijah on Mount Carmel” moment. Is he with the Swamp or is he with his campaign promises? I explain all the gory details of this omnibus/amnesty bill and why it’s worse than you think. There is no wall in this bill and it actually facilitates more of the invasion. Then it has a provision that makes this the worst amnesty bill ever.  Also, this bill sets the stage for an Iran-Contr...

Chip Roy spent many years in Congress as a staffer, but now that he is a member himself, even he is impressed with how feckless many of his Republican colleagues are. He joins me today for the first time since winning election to update us on the fight for our border and strategize on what Trump needs to do next. Chip also updates us the stupidity of his colleagues: “If we are going to keep doing...

Today, I compare the problems of our front door immigration (front door) to our back-door problems with the border and conclude that they are both equally bad. Everyone is discussing the anti-Semitic comments from Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. What most people are missing is that this is a pervasive sentiment from many, not all, but many of the millions that we’ve admitted from these countries o...

It all gets back to the cartels and the courts. What do the two have to do with each other? First, I brief you on the latest betrayals from Republicans and how they not only plan to cave on the border wall, but to actually make the policies that are driving the invasion even worse. Next, I lay out a winning strategy for Trump to declare war on the cartels.   Who is empowering the cartels? It’s all...

Today, I tie together the identity politics over the Virginia governor and race to abortion and illegal immigration. Everything both parties care about all revolves around race rather than good public policy. I go through all the recent news on how our politicians are covering up the severity of the criminal alien problem. What lessons can we learn from the MS-13 subway attack? There are many that...

My meetings with border law enforcement continue today with Yuma County Sheriff Leon Wilmot. He gives us a riveting briefing on the state of affairs in his county. The sheriff explains how our border agents have been turned into a bed and breakfast and transportation hub to complete the criminal conspiracy of the cartels. His county has been slammed with the cost of illegal immigration, particular...

Why is it that almost nobody in government will ever talk about the needs of America as a whole, but only for special interests and protected classes? Why is it that our government has adopted a “su casa es mi casa” mentality, offering the money, resources, safety, health care, education, and lives of Americans to help everyone else (including invaders) except for the people whom they were sworn t...

You can only fight asymmetrical warfare with asymmetrical warfare. That is why any military intervention in Venezuela will not work at this point, according to our resident expert on Latin America.    I am joined today by Joseph Humire, executive director of the Secure Free Society and one of the foremost experts on terrorism in Latin America. He is the author of a book on this subject, Iran’s Str...

In this episode, we try to give some hope on the capitulation. All is not lost in the border fight, and there is actually another chance … if Trump changes tactics, messaging, policy, and personnel. I explain each element that needs to change. Personnel problems are killing conservative messaging and policies. Trump needs to use more executive action (that is lawful) and stand up to the courts. He...

There is unbounded chaos at most parts of our border, and we are pulling our hair out to find a solution. What if I told you there was one border county that is actually better off than ever, even with the growing crisis elsewhere? Wouldn’t you want to learn from its people's actions and understand what they do right? Mark Dannels is sheriff of Cochise County, Arizona, and has worked in local law...

What is it going to take for us to get serious about the threat from the Mexican cartels? Jaeson Jones, veteran Texas DPS intel and counterterrorism officer, joins us for his second briefing (here is the first episode) on the severity of the cartels' threat. They are no longer just drug cartels; they are essentially global terror groups that need to be designated as such, according to Jones. Their...

Conservatives need to tell the president to change course. His recent capitulations on the SOTU address and obsession with DACA amnesty all show that his advisers are not thinking outside the box. I lay out a three-part strategy for Trump to use the bully pulpit and get back on message, force Democrats to take tough votes, and then threaten to use his executive power to break the impasse. He needs...

How do the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, judicial supremacy, and the crisis at our border all tie together? Tune in for the latest updates on how the Supreme Court is allowing lower courts to permanently alter our politics. I explain why conservative judges are no match for liberal judges once we countenance this game of judicial supremacism. Even when SCOTUS makes the right calls, it does so in suc...

“You can’t just judge a threat based on body count alone.” Todd Bensman (@bensmanTodd), expert counterterrorism fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, joins me today to discuss how the political class purposely refuses to recognize a threat until it’s too late. Specifically, we focus on how the media are refusing to recognize the problem of Middle Easterners coming to the border. They are d...

Today I have a special treat for you in this bonus episode. I am joined by Mark Morgan, veteran FBI agent and chief of Border Patrol during President Obama’s final months in office. He gives us a firsthand account of all the problems, trends, and dangers at our border and why “we need to do it all including the wall.” Criminals, gang members, and Middle Easterners? You bet. They are all coming to...

We need more Jeremiahs before we merit an Ezekiel. That is why Steve Deace wrote a new book, as a modern book of lamentation but also a decoder for what went wrong with the conservative movement. Before we can solve the problem, we need to be truthful with ourselves about the severity of the problem. We need to recognize that if we continue to rely on false gods, we will only dig further into the...

When you thought our national security priorities couldn’t get worse, think again. I discuss how it’s a disgrace that we are still losing good men in Syria for nothing while we bring in terrorists and Sharia supremacists to our country. I tie this in to the latest absurd illegal immigration and criminal justice stories. Illegals control us with lawsuits.  We merely live in their universe. They can...

In today’s episode, I deviate from our typical policy decisions and focus on the problem in conservative media with racial politics. Many are so sensitive to the charge of racism that, in my view, they themselves engage in racism by mollycoddling certain classes over others. We are all created in the image of God, and nobody should be condemned or elevated to a lesser or greater degree based on th...
