Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

It’s been three and a half weeks since a number of nonessential agencies have been almost completely shut down, yet nobody cares other than for the actual salaries of the workers. But what about the actual work? I explain the severity of our debt crisis and how it’s indefensible not to have a discussion about cutting some of these positions permanently, given what we now know about their utility or lack thereof. Next, I move on to the judicial crisis, which so many conservative writers don’t think of as a crisis. In fact, they agree with judicial supremacism. Conservatives have promoted the stature of the judiciary rather than using their capital to fight against its illegitimate power grabs. I give you a number of new examples from religious liberty and guns to immigration and abortion to show how the Supreme Court is continuing to allow the lower courts to rule over us. This is because conservative judges and conservative political figures acquiesce to illegitimate court rulings, while liberals will delegitimize court rulings they disagree with. Meanwhile, conservative media figures are helping RINOs hide behind judicial supremacism in order to avoid primaries.  Show links 3 reasons why the media’s “points of entry” argument about drugs is bogus Judge demands that DOJ stop prosecuting immigration felons Judge violates Hobby Lobby and mandates employers cover abortion  Conservative media made RINOs more popular all for nothing SCOTUS might overturn this sane ruling on criminal alien gun conviction   Copyright Blaze Media LLC.

In today’s episode, I take on establishment “conservatives” who sit and revel in their ignorance on issues and scoff at the hard work others do while offering no vision of their own. This is a problem across the board, but particularly with national security. They fail to see that in the 21st century, a strategic threat or an invasion is very different from what it was in the last century.   I update you on the latest threats to our national security through the Mexican cartels and Islamic terror – both operating and funded through our homeland, not in some of the places where we have troops. The two operate more similarly that you think. We need to understand that 21st century threats will use our culture, media, courts, financing, and migration to attack us. This is why the Iranian leader warned about “drugs and migrants.”    Show links MS-13 pack released by judge, stabs teen How Qatar owns our media narrative.

On today’s show, I give you the full background on the latest border trends and why the border wall is not the end-all, although it’s important. Actually respecting our border, getting rid of lawfare and the magnets, and lack of interior enforcement are more important both to stopping illegal immigration and drugs.  Get ready for the “wall for amnesty” deal. I explain in greater detail than ever before why this is like fighting fire with a blowtorch. I also bust up media narratives on the border and the broader drug and immigration issue. The media’s insane argument of “but the drugs come in at the points of entry” is wrong for three reasons.  Show links We are winning this fight … if only Republicans don’t blow it 6 reasons why the border crisis is worse now than ever before   Beware the Grahamnesty plan Copyright Blaze Media LLC.

Anyone who listens to this podcast is well aware of the severity and multifaceted nature of the border crisis. But for years, Republicans and their media outlets have done a poor job building the case and exposing the facts. This has allowed the media to easily obfuscate the issue and play the denial game.  On today’s show I blow up all the media talking points and the border deniers who are pursuing a “see no evil, hear no evil” approach to their evil open-borders agenda.

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.

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.
