Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

We are joined today by a small-town mayor 40 miles from the border to give us a sense of how local communities are suffering from federal dysfunction on the border. Mayor Don McLaughlin of Uvalde, Texas, believes that with American cities suffering so much from homelessness, we should not be forced to take care of the impoverished of other countries as well. He updates us on the criminals entering his town, the threat of diseases, and the costs to local communities.  In short, Mayor McLaughlin gives us the red, white, and blue point of view both parties in Washington never give us. “We’re trying to be so politically correct in everything we do now that it’s going to get somebody hurt. ... We need to throw the skunk on the table and put it right out in the open where people can see. If most people knew what was happening at the border, you might see a change, a big change, in America. But our elected officials tend to want to keep it quiet. … The elected officials we have right now aint cuttin’ it.”   Show links Just 2% of family unit border apprehensions in California, so why do CA judges rule? 10 things to know about Tom Homan My print interview with McLaughlin BP union official says agents getting sick from diseases   Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

You won’t believe it. Cartels are killing each other half a block away from the Arizona border and then coming here, not just for hospital treatment, but to request asylum! Meanwhile, ICE’s press office is focused on accommodating those with gender dysphoria and how much American taxpayer money they spend on it. We truly are strangers in our own land.

Trump is going after Justin Amash with a vengeance, and new polling shows it’s working. But why won’t he go after McConnell, Cornyn, and other Senate RINOs who are much more powerful and are destroying his leverage on his campaign promises in the Senate? I explore the upcoming budget and debt ceiling battles and explain how spending is worse than ever, just like immigration numbers at the border, yet Senate Republicans are about to sabotage Trump’s leverage again. Why is Trump not using the veto pen, bully pulpit, executive actions, and primary threats to win them over? We see how much it’s working with Amash.  Finally, we now have the acting DHS secretary on record as saying they are not screening incoming immigrants for communicable diseases, in violation of federal law.    Show links Not a dime’s worth of difference between the parties on health care McConnell and Cornyn attack Trump’s conservative budget official What if McConnell cared as much about our border as he does about pork?

“Even if the Mexicans were acting in good faith, they simply can’t secure their border.”  Today, we are joined by retired Air Force Col. Dan Steiner to brief us on what the Mexicans are doing as part of Trump’s border deal. The long and short of it? Just another photo op. Next, Col. Steiner warns us that the best invasions are the ones that we don’t even realize are happening. He details the scary trend of cartels using drones to not only get loads of drugs across but to spy on our agents and assets. This is literally an invasion, not an immigration issue. The bottom line is there is no shortcut around Trump using his lawful authority to both stop migration and designate the cartels as terrorists.   Show links What Justice Scalia would say about our inaction at the border Todd Bensman on why Mexico can’t secure its border if it wanted to Dan’s website and podcast  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Our government doesn’t like inconvenient survivors of their botched-up operations leading to the death of agents. Today, Victor Avila is back on the show for part 2 of his story on how the government left him high and dry after he was almost killed in a cartel attack that left a federal agent in Mexico dead for the first time since 1985. Victor gives us the shocking details of the trial and how the government didn’t even want to go for life in prison for the Zeta assassins. The same guns that government sold to cartels that led to the death of border agent Brian Terry were used in the killing of Jaime Zapata. Finally, Victor and I discuss how his tragedy reverberates today throughout immigration agencies and how our agents are in danger more than ever before.  Show links    Look how many criminal aliens are turned loose in just one county Part 1 of interview with Victor Avila  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

On today’s special show, we recount the story of Omaha Beach to appreciate the magnitude of courage and sacrifice displayed that day 75 years ago. What are the lessons we can learn from that day and that era in terms of political and military leadership? How does that apply to Afghanistan and our own silent battle for control of the Rio Grande River? It’s all about values – values that are rapidly becoming extinct if we don’t take one last chance to preserve them.

When it comes to the border, we the people are stuck with the lowest common denominator of Democrats evil, Republican stupidity, unfocused conservative media distractions, and the president’s good intuition but erratic behavior and messaging.   On today’s show, I explain why Trump is wrong to push tariffs instead of the other things we are pushing but why Senate Republicans are absolutely disgusting to criticize him and undermine him in light of their lack of solutions. I also update you on the latest border numbers and some good news on interior enforcement.  Show links We have a Border Patrol for diapers and wipes Republicans who don’t care about the border only care about Trump’s response to it Mark Morgan is a bright star as new acting ICE director A federal judge just gave Trump a huge opening to push back against forum-shopping   Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

We are joined by Victor Avila, the ICE special agent who survived the attack by the Zetas cartel on February 15, 2011, while his partner, Jaime Zapata, was killed in the line of duty. He recounts the riveting details of the attack. His story leaves many disturbing and unanswered questions about our government’s conduct before, during, and after the incident. Rather than being treated like a hero, Avila was pushed out into early retirement, was never debriefed, and was viewed as expendable. This very much resembles Benghazi in certain respects.   This is part one of the story. In a subsequent episode, we'll further discuss the story of Avila after the attack and why it still matters to this day.

America now fits the definition of a Third World country, at least as it relates to having control over our own territory and protecting the citizenry from invaders. Unlike traditional Third World countries, it’s not that we lack the resources, but we lack the political will to defend our sovereignty. I update you on the health concerns coming to our border and the fact that Angola does a better job on closing its border to Ebola than we do.   Moreover, we are like a Third World country because we refuse to enforce our laws, including the most important ones protecting Americans.  Show links Mexico admits 80% of key areas controlled by cartels CBP’s meticulous timeline explaining the death of an illegal alien Only 11 people prosecuted, three serving jail time, for hiring illegals  Our border fight now involves Bangladeshis and dental records Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Trump’s frustration with Mexico is understandable, but why ask the Mexican government to secure their border instead of securing our own? The threat of tariffs against Mexico will backfire and won’t work anyway; I explain why. Then I give the speech that Trump should deliver to the American people on the Constitution: It's not a suicide pact. What would Scalia say about the border today? We know exactly what he would say.
