Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Ep 392 | The Single Worst Policy of Our Government
And the single worst policy of our government is … tax withholdings!
On today’s show, in honor of Tax Day 2019, I take stock of our nation’s tax policy and show how withholdings ensures that those who pay too much in taxes don’t realize it and how those who don’t pay anything think they do. The mixture of our progressive system with the concept of withholdings has ensured that our government can grow socialism and illegal immigration on our dime without a revolt.
Next, while marking the sixth anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing, I explore a number of recent cases where we’ve brought in volatile immigrant populations who have turned violent on Americans. Finally, I explore the problem of people coming from these same countries with diseases. Whatever happened to immigration in the public interest?

Ep 391 | Let’s not forget the media caused this border surge
While the courts are certainly responsible for the border invasion, along with the feebleness of this administration, let’s not forget the role the media played. We take you back to last summer when the media virtue signaled beyond belief over the so-called separation of families. This induced the judge to issue his decision and Congress followed suit. But why is DHS’s media affairs department not working with conservative journalists to tell the other side of the story?
Did you know this administration handed out over 700,000 work permits over two years to bogus asylum seekers?
Finally, we discuss crazy lower court judges and why they have no fear of Supreme Court precedent.

Ep 390 | Thousands of Central Americans Being Released Without Proper Health Screenings
We are being lied to. Illegal aliens are being released in droves with communicable diseases, and they are not getting screened or vaccinated. Yes, they are getting immediate medical attention to protect them, but not long-term screening to protect Americans from communicable diseases. We the people do not matter.
It’s worse than that. I share with you a supposition I have based on conversations with border officials and examining some data that most of these illegal aliens aren’t even asserting a credible fear. Yet Border Patrol is being told to process them in anyway instead of sending them for expedited removal.

Ep 389 | How Bad Will the Border Get Before Senate Republicans Care?
Senate Republicans will not bring a single piece of legislation to the floor or even rhetorically address the border invasion in a meaningful way. Meanwhile, the administration continues to flounder, but Stephen Miller is trying to inject some sanity into its policies. Rather than focusing on the invasion, Senate Republicans are more concerned about Stephen Miller.
I break down the latest border numbers and distill their meaning. There are a lot of things the administration can be doing.
During the second half, I discuss the lessons of Israel’s elections and how that ties into Federalist 10 and the need for a new party. Israel’s right-wing parties have successfully kept the main right party in check, something we don’t have the luxury of doing here. I explain why Madison would have wanted more political parties once we began with this system and how we’d be better off with a new one to keep the GOP in check.

Ep 388 | It’s Time for Trump to Give SCOTUS an Ultimatum on Enforcing Its Own Precedent
Today, I discuss the latest insane court rulings that are single-handedly responsible for our border crisis. These courts are violating their powers. I explain why courts have no jurisdiction in foreign affairs and why Trump now has an opportunity to use the latest case to issue an ultimatum to the Supreme Court – either enforce your own precedents on the lower courts, or we will.
We further explore the problem of criminal aliens and how our country is left wide open while we send our troops to die in Afghanistan but not to defend our border.
Finally, I end with a strategy for Texas to counter-sue the administration and force the immigration issue and the problem of universal injunctions to a head so we can finally do away with this nonsense.

Ep 387 | Dangling Steak in Front of Conservatives, Only to Pull It Back
We’ve seen this play out over and over again. We hear good news on policy or personnel decisions in this administration, but then the opportunity gets yanked away from us. Often, it is our fault because we fail to mobilize quickly enough. I begin today’s discussion by analyzing the latest shake-ups at the Department of Homeland Security and who should be the next DHS secretary as well as directors of ICE and CBP. At the very least, this will keep the border issue alive in the news cycle.
Next, I demonstrate how Roberts and Kavanaugh are now the ultimate steaks that were yanked away from us. We thought we finally had a conservative Supreme Court…right? Think again. Kavanaugh is worse than we thought.
Next, I discuss how the attorney general is more concerned about accusations that transgender recruits to the FBI were “discriminated" against, rather than working to solve the lawfare against our sovereignty.
Finally, the economy is doing well, but not as well as it should be given the job market. Why? The debt is so out of control that it is inhibiting our growth right now, not just in the future.

Ep 386 | The Future of Conservatism, Low Expectations, and the Overton Window
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 and how this will be used to get us acclimated to a "new normal" of mass migration. That way, if the flow ebbs slightly for a few months, but still remains historically high, he can make us feel like we’re winning. Really, we will wind up moving that Overton window again and again.

Ep 385 | The Eerie Lessons of Eastern Europe’s Response to Mass Migration
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 wall effective. Each country cared about its own sovereignty, which forced a chain reaction of other countries to deal with the problem in a sensible way. He also discusses some of the successes of Australia’s conservative political party in keeping out migrants by boat.
The bottom line is that these countries believe in themselves as nations while we don’t.

Ep 384 | Love Trump or Hate Trump, We Need to Think Past the Moment
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's jailbreak.
Finally, I discuss the conservative victory in the race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court and demonstrate why we need to strip the federal courts of power and the advantages to allowing state courts to decide major issues.

Ep 383 | The Laws Are Not the Problem. It's That DHS Ignores Them
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 his heart; when he was talking about more jailbreak legislation last night, he was speaking from a teleprompter.
I explain how the answers to the existing border problem are in current law. Jessica Vaughan joins us to discuss some options on how to preserve our border and some of the shenanigans the deep state at DHS is pulling to continue Obama’s policies.
