Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

The real legislature that runs our country doesn’t take off for the summer Ep. 258 Jul 30, 2018

Show notes

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 list of about 10 insane court decisions dealing with cultural, fiscal, and immigration issues just from last week. These cases alone have the ability to alter our country in a way that even Democrat control of Congress would never do. Fundamental rights have been so bastardized by the courts that what is a true right, such as property, religious liberty, and self-defense, can be regulated into oblivion, while the “right” to self-immolate for the sexual identity movement and to kill one’s baby cannot be touched and must be subsidized.

Get ready to hear the case against the current judiciary everyone else is scared to make.

A Conversation with Rep. Andy Biggs on Jim Jordan for Speaker Ep. 257 Jul 27, 2018

Show notes

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 is explaining is losing,” said Biggs. He elucidates how a leader like Jordan will turn the tables on the Senate and make them explain why they are opposing our winning bills. He believes that most House Republicans, perhaps unlike Senate Republicans, would do the right thing with an aggressive and proactive leadership.

Andy also discusses the problems with illegal immigration and an out-of-control judiciary. Congress has been completely MIA on those issues.

Later in the show, we place the GDP numbers in their proper context. We show that, while the tax cuts did a good job infusing the economy with capital in the short run, there are still a lot of mitigating factors that hurt our economy and will make it harder to grow at 4 percent for the entire year, absent more free-market reforms to our fiscal policy and the Federal Reserve.

How Jim Jordan Can Save Congress and Win the Election Ep. 256 Jul 26, 2018

Show notes

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 opportunity to finally get our views, ideas, and strategies on the map and to push the president to the right. He can help conservatives trying to keep their seats disentangle from the morass of the GOP and rebrand themselves — but only if we as a movement actually push for these ideas.

How Russia’s Destabilization Campaign in Latin America Is Fueling Our Middle Eastern Border Migration Ep 255 Jul 25, 2018

Show notes

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 destabilize the region and bring in Middle Easterners. The threat from Middle Easterners at the border has never been graver and will only get worse as these key transit countries deteriorate.

Who is behind much of the destabilization? Russia. We can only secure our border if we stop the flow in Central America itself, according to Humire, which is why the Russians are establishing ties with the bad guys there to foist upon us the same migration crisis they helped bring upon Europe with the destabilization of Syria. We need a doctrine to signal our priorities to potential allies in the region and to deter Russia and China.

We also give you the latest perfidy from Republicans stabbing us in the back on immigration and the courts.

The Debt Crisis We're Not Allowed to Talk About Ep. 254 Jul 23, 2018

Show notes

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 legislative update on the spending bills, farm bill, and some ridiculous health care bills that will wind their way through Congress. GOP leaders continue to miss the point. Health care is the lynchpin to the debt crisis and getting rid of third-party interference is the lynchpin to solving health care. But they are headed in the opposite direction.

The Real Foreign Interference in Our Elections Ep. 253 Jul 20, 2018

Show notes

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 treated to a brilliant deep dive into the many facets of voter fraud and non-citizens voting. Logan explains how weak verification, in conjunction with motor voter laws, not only protects criminals but also hurts law-abiding legal immigrants by ensnaring them in inadvertent voting felonies. Many motor vehicle bureau databases are bloated with wrong information or are full of non-citizens, and even illegal aliens, with no distinguishing indicator that they are not citizens. Now, with automatic voter registration laws, any non-citizen who orders any service from a state driving agency can be registered to vote!

Logan also explains how absentee mail-in ballots pose the single biggest concern of voter fraud because they have created an industry for malevolent third-party brokers to take advantage of elderly people who hand their ballots to campaigns. He discusses the simple solutions that his organization is working on to expose the problem and secure our elections.

The Real Threat from Russia is Ignored and Made Worse by the Political Class Ep. 252 Jul 18, 2018

Show notes

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 hurting us in primaries by supporting RINOs but not conservatives. This is the fault of the comatose conservative movement refusing to get involved and get in Trump’s ear the way Kevin McCarthy does for his candidates.

Next, we move on to Russia. The real threat from Russia is not election hacking but its nuclear dominance mixed with its geopolitical ambition. We are fortunate to be joined by Dr. Mark Schneider, a senior analyst with the National Institute for Public Policy. He is one of the foremost experts on nuclear capabilities, missile defense, arms control, and general policy pertaining to Russia and China. He gives us an intelligence briefing on the true threat from Russia.

Schneider explains how some of the very people complaining about Trump’s relationship with Putin are the ones who needlessly depleted our nuclear deterrent and promoted terrible arms deals that have re-empowered Russia to modernize their nuclear offensive capabilities. He concludes that with the right focus and only a little bit of money, we can make America’s nuclear deterrent great again and ensure Putin can never rival us. But unless we modernize our nuclear triad, the deterrent will collapse.

The Comatose Congress Ep. 251 Jul 16, 2018

Show notes

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 wouldn’t now be a perfect time for Congress to tackle foreign interference in our elections by preventing non-citizens from voting?

Also, we go through the latest with crime, beheadings, and drugs squarely the fault of sanctuary cities. Congress is doing nothing about the problem, and it’s getting worse every day. We have district judges who are getting more maniacal by the day, yet nobody in Congress will deal with the problem. Also, do you really think a more conservative Supreme Court will even change this?

The truth about NATO and our phony European allies Ep. 250 Jul 13, 2018

Show notes

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 us the full perspective on Germany’s perfidy with Russia and the problems with Turkey in NATO. We also discuss the opportunities to use a carrot-and-stick approach with the new Mexican president and the need to reorient our priorities, alliances, and focus on national security.

Why the DC establishment is missing the point on the judiciary Ep. 249 Jul 11, 2018

Show notes

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 broader reforms that they oppose or ignore.

In this episode, we discuss the core problems with the lower courts and the judicial velocity and how once you understand that, anything short of a Clarence Thomas who would 100 percent uproot the judicial cancer won’t solve the problem. It’s akin to taking out most of a tumor, which sounds nice, but is actually worthless. It’s in this vein that we explore some of the concerning aspects of Kavanaugh’s record.
