Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

In another blockbuster foreign policy Friday with Jordan Schachtel, we discuss the latest with the Khashoggi saga and juxtapose the media’s disregard of the truth and consequences of their advocacy. Why is the media not concerned about immigration from Saudi Arabia, yet they hate the new Saudi government that is actually fighting terrorists? Just how powerful is the MB influence in America? It would shock you. We move on to Afghanistan, where the top U.S. commander was almost killed in an “insider” attack that left a top Afghani official dead. We prove once and for all that the situation is irremediably broken, and to pull out is actually a victory for us, not a defeat.  Finally, we discuss immigration policy from a terrorism standpoint and how Trump can add to his promising week of diplomacy with Mexico.  Show links Finally!

Republicans, even all the liberal ones running on liberal policies, must defeat the Democrats. Fine, I get it. But what is our plan to stop the betrayal of Republicans in Congress the day after and actually focus on cleaning our own house for once?  What’s next? When will we actually hold Republicans accountable for betraying us on every issue? When will we actually fight on the budget, the border, and health care? I delve into the severity of the health care betrayal and how Republicans are making Obamacare great again. It’s worse than you think. Also, I discuss Ben Sasse and how he has the wrong diagnosis of our political problems and the wrong prescription. In fact, he has no prescription other than virtue-signaling for the media and selling books. Finally, I address some of Sessions’ forgotten accomplishments that the conservative media ignores.

Are you sick of Republicans and the conservative media focusing on these quasi-cultural flash points but then agreeing with Democrats on all the policy outcomes? Be sure to tune in today. In this blockbuster episode, I cram as much health care policy into one show as I possibly can. I discuss how Republicans have essentially agreed to Obamacare and socialized medicine even as they claim to fight it. Why are health care and medical insurance so messed up? Who caused the pre-existing condition problem? Who is at fault for all the mergers, acquisitions, and monopolies as well as the destruction of private practice? Bookmark this podcast, because this is the message that needs to be delivered on the campaign trail. I also touch on jailbreak and how Trump used to understand race, crime, and incarceration, but has gone back on his campaign message. I give you the most up-to-date FBI statistics. Finally, I explore some cultural fights that have jazzed up our base but have not resulted in policy outcomes. We should care more about how much of the Dem policies our own side is adopting than the soap opera on the Democrat side.  Show links The ultimate reform of Medicaid and pre-existing conditions Even worse than the cost of health care is what gov’t is doing to the quality and to doctors  The old Trump was right about crime, incarceration, and race Copyright CRTV.

In this episode of “Foreign Policy Friday” with CRTV’s national security correspondent, Jordan Schachtel, we lay out the bare truth of the saga with Saudi Arabia and the disappearance of Jamal Kashaggi.  Jordan demonstrates that this guy was no journalist; he was a pro-al Qaeda activist with the Muslim Brotherhood. This is not our hill to die on. While we don’t like all the behavior of Saudi Arabia, the reality is that the nation is more of a help then a harm in this day and age when the bigger problem is Iran, Qatar, and Turkey, while the Saudis have reformed. Does this mean we should be full allies with the Saudis and allow them to sucker us into their problems? No. We put America first and use them for our interests while ignoring them when there is no interest. Stop with the false dichotomies. A clear vision of America’s interests will make these decision points a lot easier.  We also talk about the latest subversion activities of Turkey and Qatar and the search for the next UN ambassador. At the end of the show, I explain how conservatives need to follow our dictum on foreign relations for domestic political relations with Republicans. Don’t judge an issue based on the enemy of your enemy; judge it based on the merits of what you believe in. I give an update on jailbreak and give more statistics to blow up the myth of the jailbreak movement being pushed by people like Kayne West. Let’s stop supporting people who are not worth defending just because they had one fight with our enemy, the media.  Show links Trump’s betrayal of crime victims H.R. 193 to abolish the UN Copyright CRTV.

Those who work in politics full-time and claim to be conservative need to read the fine print on the policies, strategies, and personnel upon which they opine. The fine print is all that matters, and understanding it will void out the message they are getting from the bold print. In this episode, I discuss all the ways the GOP is screwing us on policy and personnel, from crime and immigration to economics, and health care. Yet the brainless “conservative” media is so distracted and uninformed, and they don’t read the fine print, that they actually help the Left they seek to fight. This is the danger of having no affirmative ideology, goal, or direction other than responding to the Left at any given moment.  Show notes   Read the fine print on rinos Trump is abandoning his base on crony ethanol   Copyright CRTV.

Everyone is abuzz with rumors about the next U.N. ambassador. I offer some ideas for who should be the conservative pick and what is important about this position. I also note how conservatives are not in a good position to block some of the bad names being mentioned. Next, I show how there is a torrent of court cases that will hurt us on sovereignty and immigraition. Courts just ruled sanctuary cities are entitled to federal funding. And no, a more conservative Supreme Court will not fully solve this problem. I conclude with a discussion on the sheer growth of legal and illegal immigration and how we are funding our demise with sanctuary cities and anchor babies. Finally, I preview the next battle over ethanol statism.  Show links We are funding anchor babies with Medicaid Sanctuary cities and the drug crisis UN pushing border invasion in our own liberal courts Another sanctuary judge Copyright CRTV.

What do you do when you are losing a war and have a weak army, but then get a miraculous break and win one defensive skirmish? Do you get drunk and celebrate as if your troubles are over, or do you double down and go on offense while working to finally make competent fighting men out of your forces? This is the analogy that should guide conservatives in dealing with Republicans after the Kavanaugh victory.  We need to double down on the fight and get better Republicans, not just any Republicans elected.  We should demand they come back in session and spark similar flash points over immigration and crime and other issues. But to do so, we must develop our own goals and destinations. What is it we want as conservatives? It’s not enough to merely wake up every day and oppose what the Left is doing. Let’s pursue our agenda and make the Left respond to us. In that way, we can take Christopher Columbus’ adage to heart – that “by prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination.” Show links 6 lessons GOP should learn from Kavanaugh fight Complacent conservatives should learn the Murkowski lesson Copyright CRTV.

Let’s not remain happy with just one victory; let’s follow up on the Kavanaugh victory with a more robust agenda. In this episode, I go through the lessons of the Kavanaugh victory and what conservatives can do to influence the outcome of this election, nominate better Republicans in the future, and replicate this unity in other issues. The GOP could turn the tide in October, if they only cared.    Meanwhile, we must remember that we are not winning back the courts by simply appointing better judges and continuing to agree to judicial supremacy. I talk about some recent cases missed by the conservative media. Next, I discuss how conservatives missed the boat on Joe Miller challenging Lisa Murkowski in Alaska in 2016 and what this means for Mississippi this year.   I also focus on some positive developments with sanctions on Iran and defeating European efforts to undermine our diplomacy.  Show links Only reason GOP is fighting on Kavanaugh is because they fear the base My 2016 endorsement of Joe Miller Anthony Kennedy has a lot of nerve to complain about failed democracy Copyright CRTV.

If the Left is militarized beyond repair, why not just go all out? Why are congressional Republicans still capitulating on every other issue aside from the Supreme Court? Today I'm joined by our congressional correspondent, Nate Madden, to discuss the latest happenings in Congress and the latest prognoses on the Kavanaugh vote. We try to discern why our base is so numb to all the policy betrayals and why it’s so much harder to galvanize the Right in American than the Left. Nate believes the difference is rooted in the lifestyles and worldviews of the respective ideologies. Conservatives must face the irony of focusing on government, which is naturally not their priority, in order to get government out of their lives.  We also explore the growing dynamic where our own voters, because of the viciousness of the Left, are projecting logical thoughts on Republicans that are completely unfounded. It’s counterintuitive, but Republicans are so unbelievable in their perfidy that they more they do it, the more they get away with it, because base voters need a hero and need something to believe in.  Show links Only reason Republicans are fighting on Kavanaugh is because they fear the base Will Republicans change their ways after Kavanaugh?

Just when we thought Republicans would finally unite behind one issue, namely a Supreme Court nominee, the RINOs come out to sandbag us. In this episode, I analyze why McConnell and Co. deserve the blame for having these RINOs in the Senate in the first place. We tried to warn them about people like Murkowski, but they fought tooth and nail for her. Now they must reap what they sowed. Moreover, they foster a culture of capitulation on 90 percent of the other issues so that even when they come to the 10 percent they wish to accomplish, there are enough members whom they groomed and acculturated into this culture of capitulation that they block us even with a court nominee.  And speaking of other issues, it’s as if the conservative movement is hooked on political heroin and is totally numb to the budget betrayal. President Trump signed the budget betrayal at high noon on Friday, yet conservatives don’t even know about it. Also, Trump is on the cusp of endorsing Kevin McCarthy for speaker. Do we have a movement that thinks for itself?  Finally, I preview the coming elections, which are taking an ominous turn.  Show links So, will Republicans stop working with Democrats on jailbreak?
