Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

It’s another ‘foreign policy Friday’ and we are joined by CR’s national security correspondent, Jordan Schachtel (@Jordan Schachtel). We go around the map and update you on what’s going on in Iran, Israel, Turkey, and North Korea and asses everything from a standpoint of what is in our interest and what is not.  We also asses where the administration is making progress and where they need to hear...

Conservatives need to stay focused on actually implementing our agenda rather than being scared to prod the president into action.  In many cases, he is very open to our position. This is evident with the budget fight.  But if we fail to get involved, he will drift to the gravitational pull of the swamp.  We do him nor his agenda any favors by not properly guiding him on the budget fight, crime bi...

Today, we are joined by Beth Williams, Assistant Attorney General for the Justice Department's Office of Legal Policy, to discuss the new religious liberty task force established on Monday by Jeff Sessions.  Ms. Williams updates us on some of the growing concerns throughout the country that religious liberty has now been read out of the Constitution, even though it is the very first right in the B...

Congress might be on vacation until after Labor Day, but the lower courts are working overtime to destroy this republic.  You will come away from this episode understanding, once and for all, why the judiciary is irremediably broken, why simply appointing “better judges” alone won’t help, and why nothing matters in terms of elections and Congress until this issue is dealt with. We go through a lis...

Today, we are joined by Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., to discuss the significance of Jim Jordan’s run for speaker. Biggs was one of the first members to endorse his candidacy.   He gives us an inside look at how House leadership is failing us. They have no proactive agenda and always cave to the liberal Senate, thereby making House Republicans always explain themselves and remain on defense. “Whoever...

Before we can understand the significance of the speaker’s race, we need to understand what is wrong with Congress. In today’s show, I go through the recent betrayals in Congress and how there is no forward-looking conservative movement to hold people accountable. Absent conservative leadership, the president is drifting into the establishment camp. This is where Jim Jordan comes in. Jordan has an...

Today, we are joined by Joseph Humire, our expert on Latin America and terrorism, to discuss the nexus between our own immigration crisis, instability in Nicaragua and Venezuela, and a subversion campaign by the axis of Russia-China-Iran. Humire explains why you should care about Latin America, particularly what is going on in Nicaragua and Venezuela. Central American migrants are being used to de...

We’ve all but forgotten that our debt crisis is now worse than it was under Obama. Republicans keep increasing spending every week, and nobody pays attention and nobody on the “Right” is pressuring Trump to dust off his veto pen. In this episode, I explain why the source of the debt is mainly from spending, not the tax cuts, and how it is hurting our economy and national security. I offer a legisl...

Now that the Left has raised the prominence of foreign interference in elections, this is the perfect time to make a legislative push to end foreign voting in our elections. Today we are joined by Logan Churchwell, communications and research director for the Public Interest Legal Foundation, who spends his time fighting voter fraud and promoting 21st-century ways to secure our vote. We are treate...

Republicans lack a conservative vision on foreign policy and Russia, and therefore we are seeing a lot of false dichotomies being supported by some of our friends. It’s no different from the false dichotomies we see in the primaries, when President Trump supports RINO candidates because conservatives have no coherent and robust plan of their own.  We begin the show by discussing how Trump is hurti...

Where is Congress? It was said that legislators would stay in session for August, yet they don’t even have a meaningful agenda to fill up the month of July. In today’s show, we observe all the ways that Congress, urged by a president willing to wield the veto pen, can tackle some of the issues people care about. Everyone is up in arms about Trump’s comments to Putin, and I'm also disappointed, but...

Many in the political class are missing the point about NATO. The very countries that claim to value our support against enemies are working with those enemies to sabotage America and self-immolate while sticking us with the tab. Today, for foreign policy Friday, we are joined by CR’s national security correspondent, Jordan Schachtel, to discuss the latest on Trump’s visit to Europe.  Jordan gives...

What is it that is broken about the courts? What are the trends? How do we fix it? And how does a SCOTUS pick help redress the problem? The D.C. legal conservatives don’t want to observe these problems or even ask these questions. This is why they are coming to the wrong conclusions about the type of justice we need on the court and the limit of even the best justices to fix the system absent broa...

In this blockbuster show, we lay out the bare truth of the power of the courts. We go through the history of Marbury, the true lessons from that era, and how the Warren court adulterated its principles. Who gets to determine the interpretation of the Constitution? We answer that question from our Founders' perspective and explain how they would not recognize the power of the courts today.  Show li...

The weight of the entire political universe has come down on the side of the illegal alien families who are separated as a result of their own callous actions violating our sovereignty and endangering our security. Yet nobody wants to focus on the victims of illegal immigrants. We have committed a focus on victims of crime and illegal immigration here at the Conservative Conscience and are honored...

Marbury v. Madison, judicial review v. judicial supremacy, the history and role of the courts, what’s at stake, what will change, and who should we pick? If you love court news, you will want to tune in to this show. We give a long and broad look at the trends and issues in both the lower courts and Supreme Court and discuss, based on this background, who we need. Most importantly, we need certain...

Today we are joined by Brandon Judd, the president of the National Border Patrol Council, who is also an active duty agent. He sets the record straight about the policies of the Border Patrol dealing with families and how fundamentally nothing has changed, except that the media’s coverage is hampering the Border Patrol's job and empowering the drug cartels while fueling the very unfortunate outcom...

Today, we digest the blockbuster Supreme Court finale.  While we are winning some short-term battles at the courts, if we don’t get vigilant about the problems with the lower courts, we will still lose the war. We dissect each important element of Trump v. Hawaii and preview some other cases. We also showcase the hypocrisy of Anthony Kennedy on religious liberty when it comes into conflict with hi...

This is a busy week with a lot of issues to cover. We begin today’s show by noting the president has been on message when it comes to sovereignty. We explain why the president never has to tolerate an invasion and how this is indeed an invasion. He has the full moral, constitutional, and legal authority to stop all immigration at the border. Next, we move on to jailbreak and note how the courts ha...

There’s a very elegant but simple way of ending illegal immigration. We need to first understand the problems with cross-border migration and its effects on Americans, the drug cartels, and the migrants.  We begin by noting how Trump is, so far, placing Democrats in a trap and will successfully force them to be on the wrong side of immigration or be exposed as frauds.  Then we discuss the long-ter...

Now that the media finally cares about the border, albeit only to virtue-signal about the needs of illegals, not Americans, Trump has an opportunity to focus people’s attention on what needs to be done -- to treat not just the symptom, but the underlying problem. In this episode, we discuss the things Trump can do unilaterally. This is not a problem with laws; this is a problem with liberal lower...

“Love truth and peace” [Zachariah 8:19].  You cannot pursue peace and compassion without having the truth about the reality of an issue.  This is why we bring in Jessica Vaughan of Center for Immigration Studies, one of the foremost experts on immigration, to discuss how the “compassion” of fostering more cross-border migration is cruel to everyone. Jessica gives us an insider’s view on how border...

In today’s show, we lay bare the truth about the focus on “separating children at the border.” The entire argument is built on lies, misunderstanding of the border crisis and its cause, and a perversion of morality and priorities. We explain how it is the very policies of the virtue-signalers that have caused this crisis and continue to worsen it. By promoting amnesty for children, we not only cau...

Today we are joined by Chip Roy, who demonstrates how a Republican should run for office in this climate. He brings with him his passionate agenda for health care freedom, putting America’s security first in immigration, cutting spending, and fighting for judicial reform and religious liberty. He shows how the “compassion” of liberals for pre-existing conditions is really cruelty to everyone and d...

The end of this year’s SCOTUS term is heating up, and we are witnessing some defensive victories for conservatives. But that’s all they are: defensive wins on issues that should never even be up at the courts. While we are winning some individual cases, the general trend, thanks to the radical lower courts and passivity of SCOTUS, is moving away from us on election law, immigration, and religious...
