Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

If the public truly understood the extent of the problem we have with the cartels at our border and now even in our communities, it would completely change the politics of the border issue.  Today, we are joined by a very special guest who is one of the leading experts on all things drug trafficking, cartels, transnational gangs, and border migration. Jaeson Jones spent 24 years with the Texas Department of Public Safety in the Intelligence and Counterterrorism division. He shares with us exclusive information in a full briefing on the danger of the cartels and gangs both at our border and in our communities.  This problem of drugs and human trafficking is all external, yet the feds and the media have failed to focus on it. Jaeson explains why both the data and tactics of federal law enforcement, particularly at the FBI, have failed to quantify and address this issue. He shares with us the successes he’s had at Texas DPS and what the feds can learn from Lone Star law enforcement. There is so much dangerous crime at our border and in our communities, all related to the cartels that the government is not telling us about.   Show links The judicial war on deportations Border invasion intensifies while GOP Congress remains silent Copyright Blaze Media LLC.

Today, I discuss the need for the Freedom Caucus to finally develop a coherent strategy and agenda to address the concerns of the forgotten law-abiding American taxpayers, consumers, and victims of crime left behind by today’s elites. Rather than special interests as the protected class, it should be all law-abiding American citizens who deserve the focus of our government.  I go through the lessons of today’s speaker vote, the upcoming debt ceiling fight, and the government shutdown and how conservatives can harness these focal points for such a vision. I also give you the latest on victims of both illegal immigration and jailbreak policies as well as an update on our perverted priorities overseas. We are spending billions in Afghanistan while prosecuting our best soldiers for killing the enemy.  Show links How jailbreak and illegal immigration tie together   Latest report on $125 billion tab of Afghanistan $53 billion in migrant remittances The legal lynching of a Navy SEAL Feds are only prosecuting high-level people and most traffickers are illegal So-called red Texas is letting out murderers from prison.

In this first episode of the year, I show how Democrats have a vision and a sense of purpose while Republicans are balloons in the wind. The only messenger we have is the president, who is often muddled in a number of ways. We need to keep him on message.  The biggest issue for which we need leadership now is the border and the interior problems we have from the invasion. I explain how drugs, cartels, gangs, crime, immigration, and jailbreak all come together and how we need a leader willing to lay out this case to the American people. There’s a reason the media, including Fox, stifle the truth about the severity of the immigration problem. If the public knew about the extent of the problem, it would completely upend the elites.    Show links The trail of Middle Easterners coming through Panama We are now forced to manage invasion of infectious diseases rather than deterring it How every county is becoming a border county Another American killed by illegal drunk driver Why Romney is the worst   Republicans didn’t lose Latino voters with Trump Copyright Blaze Media LLC.

I begin the show by recapping 2018 and how this year was full of missed opportunities for conservatives. Then, I transition into the biggest missed opportunity – telling the truth about the danger of the criminal alien problem. In this show, I give you statistics you will never hear anywhere else quantifying just how concentrated criminal activity is among illegal aliens and how it’s all avoidable. I show how sanctuary policies in California are responsible for a ton of needless murder, including the murder of Ronil Singh, the legal immigrant cop gunned down by an illegal released through sanctuary policies.    Show links Illegal alien crime wave ignored by media How California’s sanctuaries allowed an illegal to commit a reign of terror 1,000 aliens released at El Paso  How California bail law helps illegal immigrants Copyright Blaze Media LLC.

I begin the show dissecting two lessons from this week’s government shutdown. The fact that even Democrats have been quiet all week demonstrates how even they need a break and how Republicans, had they been determined, could have broken them with the threat of a talking filibuster all week. I also prove how this week’s fake shutdown reveals that much of the federal government is completely gratuitous even from a liberal standpoint. Next, it's Foreign Policy Friday with Jordan Schachtel. We discuss the shutdown of strategic thinking on Syria and how the past week proves the need for multi-dimensional strategies. Trump is looking better and better on the actual pullout, but worse on his Turkey strategy.     Show links How to force a talking filibuster The lesson of the nonessential departments The judiciary shutdown is the only shutdown that matters The paper that cheers Hezbollah suddenly feigns concern for Israel How the entire Kashoggi media campaign was an info op from Qatar NYT loves Hezbollah Caroline Glick’s must-read on Israel, Syria, and Turkey Copyright Blaze Media LLC.

There are many reasons why we need a border wall and reform of our suicidal immigration policies. One of the most forgotten ones is the existing flow of Middle Easterners and potential terrorists coming through Latin America to our southern border. To break down this issue, we bring you a special guest who is a journalist, former intel officer, and expert on counter-terrorism and Latin American affairs.  Todd Bensman is senior national security fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies. He recently took a trip to Panama and Costa Rica to expose the controlled flow of Middle Easterners coming north that is open to anyone who wants to see.    Todd explains how the debate over border security must direct more focus to the terrorism threat at our border. He personally saw hundreds of Middle Eastern migrants being shunted northward by the Panamanian government. He details the programs they have put into place, together with American personnel and infrastructure, to manage the flow and try to weed out terrorist. The media is willfully blind to the problem.    This is the sort of intel briefing that members of Congress drastically needs, but they remain in the dark. Nobody in the media is interested in pursuing this angle either. Wonder why? Show links The cost of illegal immigration vs. the cost of a border wallTodd’s involvement in the Holy Land Foundation trialTodd’s reporting on his trip to PanamaGOP prioritizing Syria’s fake security over oursCopyright Blaze Media LLC.

Foreign policy in general and the Middle East in particular are full of false choices. In this episode, Jordan Schachtel joins me to co-host and explain why everyone in DC is wrong about foreign policy. Since nobody is giving a full vision on all aspects of foreign policy and how they tie together, we try to accomplish that in an hour.  Our 2,000 troops in Syria are the least important way to counter Iran and are actually counterproductive. If you really want to counter Iran without risking lives and do it more efficiently in a way that directly addresses the threat to us, you’d attack Iran's finances, make the right alliances, get tough on visas and the border, stop funding the Lebanon army and Baghdad, threaten sanctions and NATO status against Erdogan, and destroy Hezbollah’s operation in our own backyard.  How come the same people who want to bring Sharia Islamists to our country also want to put our boots on their ground to then bring in more immigrants? This and more in our blockbuster end-of-year Foreign Policy Friday show.  Show links My 2013 op-ed on Syria consistent with today’s philosophy How Qatar is buying us off Pull the plug on Afghanistan We actually helped Iran with what we did in Iraq, and Israel warned against it You don’t need to end the filibuster to pass a budget; just enforce the filibuster Mattis was not only a liberal, he didn’t like Israel Copyright Blaze Media LLC.

Today, we see that when there is a modicum of leadership from prominent conservative figures, Trump is actually willing to fight. Where has this leadership been for two years? I give you the postmortem on the jailbreak bill, an update on the border fight, and some things to watch for with the invasion of the caravan.  Finally, I begin our discussion on how to view the Syria pullout in the context of a greater strategy. The lack of conservative vision and leadership is evident on foreign policy.  Show links Final House vote on Jailbreak Gohmert’s speech on jailbreak An amazing report on the who, what, and how of the caravan The latest judicial supremacist judge Nebraska is a case study in killing our border Copyright Blaze Media LLC.

Yes, I said “moments.” This week, Trump has relived George H.W. Bush’s fatal “read my lips” moment with regard to several issues: guns, jailbreak, drugs, immigration, and budget.  In this episode, I give you the gory details of all of them and how they all tie together.  It's worse than you think. But perhaps some of our people are finally waking up.

In this show, I conclude my four-year battle against jailbreak with an unvarnished presentation of facts, rational arguments, and an indictment of the people who are pushing it. I cover the issue of crime and incarceration from almost every angle to show how this jailbreak movement is more Orwellian than you even thought. If this is what it means to be a conservative, it’s time to euthanize this phony movement. I also tie in the latest criminal alien crime data from ICE to show how prevalent the sanctuary cities problem is and how much they are fueling the drug crisis. It is also the 800-poound gorilla in the room in the federal criminal justice system. Yet rather than unifying behind a message to deport criminal aliens, end sanctuary cities, build the wall, and end the magnets and loopholes, most Republicans joined with every single Democrat to advance a bill that will provide early release and reduced sentencing for these very people!  Show links    CR's full coverage of jailbreak    Cotton’s op-ed on his amendments Cultural marxist “conservative groups” think even violent and dangerous criminals should be released Cornell getting taxpayer contracts to teach Marxism   Copyright Blaze Media LLC.
