The Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz is here to help you cut through the rhetoric and noise and explore the politically right way to think about the issues .

Why Do Elections Keep Flipping the Day After, and Only in One Direction? Ep. 303
Teddy Roosevelt once said that “there is no enemy of free government more dangerous and none so insidious as the corruption of the electorate.” Today I am joined by Logan Churchwell, communications and research director for the Public Interest Legal Foundation, to discuss the growing problem of voter fraud, incompetent election officials, and the asymmetrical warfare the Left has been fighting in law and politics with election law.
Ever since election night, Democrats have been flipping races left and right — well, only Left — with provisional ballots, forced recounts, and other anomalies. Logan gives us a complete intelligence briefing on what is happening in Florida with Democrats continuing to close the gap with new votes.
He also gives us a broad view of how the Left has created an industry around victimizing minorities and openly using racist arguments to claim they are too incompetent to vote like everyone else and require special “help.” Democrats are winning both in the culture and in court, creating an insurance policy of provisional votes they can use to flip close elections.

How Conservatives Can Make Lemonade with the Election Lemons They Were Dealt Last Night Ep. 302
This is my first analysis of the election results.
Bottom line is that this election has a lot more good news for conservatives than we previously thought. I explain what the election results mean, what they portend for 2020, and what conservatives can do between now and then.

Will We Finally Get Focused After the Election? Ep. 301
Rather than debate the accuracy of polling and make predictions on an outcome we will know within hours, I focus today on getting focused as a movement.
Irrespective of Tuesday’s outcome, we will need to lean on this administration to make the right choices, and we must give air cover to our allies. Unfortunately, our allies in this administration are being overruled on issues pertaining to Iran sanctions, spending bills, and how to deal with the courts, as well as immigration. We do Trump and the MAGA allies no favors by complaining about the deep state in the abstract, but then refusing to criticize the administration when it allows the deep state to win on important policies. I discuss all these policies on today’s show.
Next, we delve into how the courts will strip this president of any lawful powers to improve this country and how we need to wake up and smell the judicial tyranny. They have now taken over all state election law powers even as they strip the federal government of its lawful power to set one uniform day for elections.
Finally, I return to our discussion of birthright citizenship from last week and supply yet more evidence that the entire legal profession is dead wrong on this issue.

Your Ultimate Guide to Sovereignty and the Birthright Citizenship Debate Ep. 300
“Every society from a great nation down to a club had the right of declaring the conditions on which new members should be admitted, there can be room for no complaint.” –Gouverneur Morris (believed to be primary author of the actual prose of Constitution), Constitutional Convention in 1787
This is one of my longest and most foundational podcasts. I trace back sovereignty, citizenship, and self-governance form our Founding through the 14th Amendment and subsequent court cases. I show how we are no longer a sovereign nation thanks to illegal immigration, judicial supremacy, and the mix of the two problems.
Bookmark this as your definitive takedown of the feudal-era jus soli principle on birthright citizenship, conclusively proving why Wong Kim Ark was wrongly decided and why even if we support that decision, it cannot be extended to illegal aliens.
Our phony conservative legal scholars are playing the Left’s judicial black-magic game that we can never win.

What Everyone Is Missing About Birthright Citizenship Ep. 299
I pack into this hour every fact and myth about birthright citizenship. Illegal immigrants who come here without the consent of the people cannot be considered as having attained entry onto our soil. As such, even if we have birthright citizenship for legal immigrants, it cannot be applied to legal immigrants. I go through the full historical, philosophical, and legal case. And yes, Trump has the power to change an erroneous policy that has no grounding in statute.

Pittsburgh and "Never Let a Good Crisis Go to Waste" Ep. 298
Pittsburgh, pain, and politics.
In this episode, I discuss the theological underpinnings of what went on this weekend and what should not be political. Unfortunately, those with an agenda have already made the part of this that shouldn’t be political into a political witch hunt to stifle debate. It all gets back to never letting a crisis go to waste for a political agenda. I make the case for why atrocities shouldn’t be used as human shields to stifle debate. I also explain my views on how to deter and protect against these attacks to the best of our ability.

Everyone Is Missing the Point that Cesar Sayoc Should Have Been in Prison Ep. 297
"When a wise man points at the moon, the imbecile examines the finger."
There’s a growing trend that whenever there is an attempted or successful terrorist attack, a politically motivated attack, a school shooting, or other heinous public crime, we debate the party affiliation of the perpetrator, the weapon of choice, and the nature of the target. But what we all fail to notice is that most people who sink to the level of murder or attempted murder usually have rap sheets of “lower” crimes and other warning signs. Rather than tear each other down over politics, we need to start asking why these people, known wolves, as my friend Patrick Poole calls them, are not locked up.
In this special episode, I discuss how “rhetoric” on both sides is not responsible for their respective crazies who try to murder. The only problem is when people like Maxine Waters make specific threats to get in public official’s faces and swarm them with a “crowd.” That is not a rhetoric problem; that is a direct threat. In this case, as with the Scalise shooting by a Bernie supporter, it’s nobody’s fault. It’s a criminal justice problem. He had a huge rap sheet and was never locked up.
This is a problem from both parties because they both support policies that have ensured people arrested for similar crimes are not locked up.

We Must Completely Reset the Baseline on Conservatism after the Election Ep. 296
Are we just going to be Election Day groundhog activists and go back into our bunker the day after the election, or will we finally forge ahead with an agenda?
In this episode, I discuss the need to reset the baseline of what it means to be a conservative, how it applies today, and what we seek to achieve. Otherwise, that baseline will forever drift to the left. I discuss Chip Roy’s plan to reset the baseline, the way we discuss issues, and the goals we hope to achieve on all the important issues.
I delve into the false dichotomy about labels like nationalism and how we define ourselves relative to the media rather than in our own affirmative and absolute terms.
Finally, I give an update on some immigration-related news and how the courts are a perfect example of the need to reset the baseline.

Anatomy of an Invasion: How About We Make Illegal Immigration Illegal? Ep. 295
Many people fail to realize that our laws on illegal immigration are fine; it’s our executive policies and the courts that are the problem. We don’t really make illegal immigration illegal, and actually, we sometimes criminalize enforcement, not illegal immigration. If we merely de-magnetized our border by ramping up interior enforcement, ending asylum, and ending all of the benefits, illegals would not come. I prove this thesis through history and data.
Also, we must be careful that the border wall doesn’t become a distraction. I explain how border walls only help if we respect our own sovereignty, but not if we invite illegal immigrants in with asylum and other benefits. It’s more important to tackle the policy problem than the infrastructure problem.
Finally, I discuss the concern of terrorists in Latin America being smuggled through our border and how it’s worse than you think.

Calling Balls and Strikes on Behalf of the Anti-Swamp Movement Ep. 294
In this episode, we discuss the need for a movement and a conservative media that calls the balls and strikes on policies of a Republican president and Congress. Often Trump is intuitively with us but has idiots in his administration pushing him the other way. We do him no favors by treating him with "kid gloves" and ignoring his policy betrayals, because it strengthens the hands of the swampsters and weakens our allies in the administration.
We begin by focusing on the good things Trump is doing to combat Russia’s nuclear aggression and his laudable decision to pull out of the one-sided nuclear treaty. We make the case for how Trump can follow up on this and destroy Democrats on Russian collusion.
Next, we focus on opportunities and pitfalls with the caravan invasion of our border. Trump is hitting the right stride, but there are still forces in his administration that are helping the invasion with wrongheaded asylum policies. We give you some inside information about what’s happening at our border and what needs to happen to restore the rule of law in immigration.
Finally, we address judicial supremacism and how even Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch seems to think a republic means judicial supremacism.
