Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Today we are joined by a very special guest. Dan Vara is a practicing immigration lawyer who has 22 years of experience in the old INS and eventually in ICE.  “The laws are there, the rules are there, the people are there; they need to be allowed to do their jobs,” says Vara. He was one of the top officials dealing both with the Nicaraguan asylum influx in 1989 and the Hatians and Cubans in the 1990s. He believes there is no reason existing law can’t be marshalled the way it was then. It’s all politics, in his view. What about the concerns of foreign terrorists, health, and espionage? Vara explains that, contrary to what the government is telling us, we are not properly vetting them out even at points of entry.   Vara also explains how so many at the DHS are experiencing morale problems because there is more incentive for them to be lenient on illegal immigrants rather than enforce the law for fear of lawsuits.

Is Trump being convinced by Jared Kushner to live in an alternative universe? While they focus on the visa system, America has become a dumping ground. While they focus on what Congress can do on non-emergency issues, they ignore what they can do executively on emergency issues. Today, I round out the week by analyzing the politics of the Kushner immigration plan and why it is distracting from the real problems.   Finally, now is the time to get rid of DACA. That is Trump’s biggest point of leverage. He lost another court case today, but what the judges actually said proves the point that, even according to their convoluted thinking, he can still get rid of it within 90 days … if he wants to.

Look at any major issue, whether it’s the judicial crisis, immigration, health care, or foreign policy, and you will notice that we don’t have a movement of ideas to drive a narrative. We have a movement of personalities to comment on the status quo. I discuss some of the news of the day on abortion and the courts. If we had a movement of ideas, we’d be well on our way to defeating judicial supremacy, and some of the latest news on abortion proves this point. I also update you on jailbreak, the border, Republicans trying to renew the New START treaty, and even how our government is funding the Taliban while claiming to fight it.  Show links Virginia judge reverses his own radical opinion 8 days later This is the type of people we are locking up in federal prison on drug charges who will get jailbreak Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Be prepared for a briefing on how terrible Senate Republicans are. They are screwing us on every issue, from health care and spending to immigration and crime. I give you the latest details of Senate RINO betrayals and show how Trump’s presidency is doomed unless we change the orientation of Republicans in the Senate.  Next, I explore the problems with Jared Kushner's immigration proposal and how it distracts from the real problem while offering RINOs cover to continue ignoring their responsibilities. Finally, I update you on the latest with Iran and how the people who got us involved in Iraq are actually hurting the cause of isolating Iran.  Show links Thanks to GOP failure, few people realize how bad the border is McConnell about to screw us on budget deal Romney opposes good judicial candidate because he was too mean to Obama Lindsey Grahamnesty is back African migrants showing up at Laredo The entire criminal justice cartel is built on a lie  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Today, I show how and why our homeland security and foreign policy are completely backward. By having an open border, we are bringing all of the ills of the world right to our nation. Then we waste our resources going overseas to referee Islamic civil wars, which places our assets in danger, which then creates a political challenge to aggressively defending our true interests.  At the end of the show, I update you on some of the latest domestic terror and criminal alien news and demonstrate once and for all how “criminal justice reform” is built on a lie.  Show links Cuba is the next illegal immigration shoe to drop 54% of federal offenders are non-citizens Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Illegal aliens control our border policies, district judges control our legislatures, and non-English speakers control our ballots. When did the American people vote for this? Today, I discuss how the inmates are running the asylum in many ways. The “asylum-seekers" are controlling our border rather than the American people. Judges are now ruling rather than naturalized citizens learning English, as they are required to do, they can now sue for endless access to assistance and marketing in bilingual ballots. A lot can be learned from the latest Florida judge’s ruling, and I have all the details.    Show links CBP’s bizarre border flights The underappreciated threat to our country from checkpoints being dismantled Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

In this free-flowing Friday episode, I tie up some loose ends on stories from this week. I explain the multi-layered crisis at the border, specifically the threat of infectious diseases and the cartel operations. The media and the government are not telling us just how serious a threat the termination of Border Patrol checkpoints are in terms of drugs, human smuggling, and potentially terrorists.   Yet Congress doesn’t consider that to be a problem. The legislature is focusing on emergency and disaster spending for Puerto Rico. I explain why this disaster bill is nonsense and why throwing more money at Puerto Rico without fixing its systemic problems or giving it independence is like flushing money down the toilet. Finally, I bring you one more example of why we can’t win the judicial game the conventional way and why we must challenge the entire premise of judicial supremacism rather than focus on “appointing better judges.” Show links Why are we letting any of these people in?

On today’s show, I tackle our two favorite issues – the courts and immigration – through the lens of why half measures are often counterintuitive instead of a reflection of incremental progress. While it’s heartening to see the administration finally get a little more aggressive on the border and with the courts, it is missing the opportunity to go full-bore.  I dissect Mike Pence’s speech about nationwide injunctions and show that while he is on to the truth, he is proposing a half measure that further undermines the premise he is trying to articulate.  I also update you on both the border and the latest criminal alien mayhem on the interior to show why half measures are not working. Quote: “Moral of the story is: I chose a half measure when I should have gone all the way. I'll never make that mistake again. No more half measures, Walter." ~Mike Ehrmantraut (played by Jonathan Banks) in Season 3 of Breaking Bad Show links Previously deported illegal kills 3 people but is released by California authorities House GOP appoints global warming supporter to “climate change” committee 2.4% of Honduras has come to America in just 19 months Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

Between the rocket attacks on Israel, increasing stakes in the Iranian sanctions, American military assets being projected against Iran, and a bunch of desperate measures from the mullahs, are we on the cusp of war, or will the Iranian regime fall on its own? To make sense of all of this, we're joined by Col. Dan Steiner, a 32-year Air Force veteran with substantial experience in the Middle East and at CENTCOM, to brief us on what is going on in the Middle East and why we should care. He explains how until now much of what has guided our policies was all related to corporate cronyism rather than sound strategic thinking. We talk about Iraq, Turkey, Qatar, Russia, and how they all fit into this discussion.  Show notes Colonel Steiner’s critique of Israel’s restrained response to “rocket diplomacy”  Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.

The lower court supremacy has gotten so bad that judges are now not only violating law and the Constitution, but also recent Supreme Court decisions. What ever happened to the Supreme Court being the god of our system?   On today’s show, I update you on some recent happenings in the lower courts and how on abortion funding and on the travel ban, lower court judges are in the process of overturning recent Supreme Court precedent. I explain how Trump has no choice but to completely delegitimize this scheme.  Show links Lower courts lobbying the Supreme Court like the inmates running the asylum An illegal drunk driver plows into trailer home and kills a family of three Copyright Blaze Media All Rights Reserved.
