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 .

How Can Our Political Class Be So Wrong on So Many Issues? Ep. 276
When it comes to the most important issues of our time, the political elites are not just missing their shots, they are tossing one airball after another. The entire premise that many policies and political fights are built upon is absolutely erroneous.
I begin the show continuing our ongoing discussion about the true origins of judicial supremacy and how it is a political fiction that was completely rejected by our Founders. I shed new insight on how Madison and others were certain that the other branches of government have just as much say in constitutional interpretation as the judiciary does. Yet we have an entire Supreme Court fight built upon a lie that the court is the final word on every matter, absent a constitutional amendment. Both sides, including conservative legal elites, buy into this fallacy.
Next, I discuss the upcoming wasteful spending on a drug crisis that Congress has completely misdiagnosed. The true crisis is illicit drugs from open borders, Medicaid expansion, and the war on legitimate pain patients.
Also, Trump is finally coming around to our point of view on the budget. So where is the “conservative movement” backing him?

The Judicial Supremacists are Disciples of Dred Scott, not Abraham Lincoln Ep. 275
In this episode, I continue the long-running discussion on the true role of the judiciary and who has the final say in constitutional interpretation. I demonstrate the absurdity of how everyone on both sides seems to think the courts are king. It creates a self-fulfilling political crisis with each judicial nomination. I show how this is not the way our Founders created the system, nor does it have to continue being this way.
My solution is to return jurisdiction over the most partisan political issues in the federal courts to state courts. I explain why this is still in line with the founding view and the practice in our early years and give three reasons why it is superior to the status quo.
I then re-enact the Lincoln-Douglas debates to demonstrate once and for all why the judicial supremacists are disciples of Dred Scott and constitutional supremacists are disciples of Lincoln.

We’re All Missing the 800-Pound Gorilla in the SCOTUS Confirmation Fight Ep. 274
What is the point of a Supreme Court confirmation hearing if we never learn anything about his constitutional thoughts but at the same time view the courts as the final say on the Constitution?
In this episode, I discuss why the hearings are a shame, why we have no guarantees Kavanaugh will be a Clarence Thomas, and why we are all missing the point about the role of the courts. I lay out in our history lesson why there is no way our Founders intended to make the courts the final say on the Constitution.

Where Have All the Visionaries Gone? Ep. 273
This special episode takes us back in time to commemorate two important days in September that have been overshadowed by the vacuous Labor Day. I reminisce about the importance of V-J Day and Constitution Day.
The sacrifices of our grandparents in the Pacific during WWII are unimaginable, even compared to the European front. I commemorate their sacrifice, their vision, and valor and ruminate about what we can learn from their grit and determination.
I also ponder the upcoming 231st anniversary of the signing of the Constitution. Once again, they had a vision. It wasn’t just about defeating the British. I go back to the under-appreciated challenges of formulating a new government and tie them into our challenges today as Congress returns without an important vision to tackle the issues of our time.
On immigration, where is the vision to protect our country? On foreign policy and national defense, where is the vision to prioritize our needs, neutralize the threats, and end the self-immolation?

Republicans Are Monkeying Up Their Electoral Mandate Ep. 272
Tuesday night’s elections should serve as another reminder of the impact of Trump’s endorsement. Where we succeed in getting him to endorse the right candidates, we usually win. But all too often, we fail to get him to support the right candidates and we are now electing more bad guys to the House than ever before.
I also discuss the importance of Ron DeSantis’ run for governor of Florida and what he stands for. He understands policy and he understands winning issues. I go through some of 25 winning immigration ideas that can change the arc and landscape of the election, but Republicans won’t budge.
I show how the progressives in this country are incapable of serious debate because rather than caring about the rule of law, it’s all about identity. I give some examples in some of the latest immigration and jailbreak news.
Finally, I report on Jeff Sessions joining the lawsuit against Harvard for the school's hard-core racism against Americans of Asian heritage in pursuit of discriminatory affirmative action.

Deaths Like Mollie Tibbetts' Are Preventable Ep. 271
Americans have a right to own guns, but there is no affirmative right for foreign nationals to immigrate and have government accommodate them to commit identity theft.
In this episode, I'm joined by the inimitable Jessica Vaughan to discuss why people like the alleged murderer of Mollie Tibbetts would never be in the country if we truly clamped down on identity theft. She shows how the employer likely knew more than he’s letting on and how the agriculture industry in general is harboring illegal aliens. A concerted government effort to combat identity theft, something it should do anyway, would have prevented this murderer from coming to the country and would likely deter all illegal immigration. Yet government encourages identity theft.
I also discuss the cultural and criminal problems created by farming interests that bring in so many migrants from violent countries under the worst conditions.

The GOP Senate is Worse Than You Think Ep. 270
In this episode, I discuss how the Senate GOP is essentially indistinguishable from the Left. Senate Republicans make House Republicans look like the Founders. They just passed a budget bill increasing spending, funding Obamacare, funding the Central American invasion, and funding abortions – in addition to increasing spending to unprecedented levels for all the agencies that shouldn’t even exist.
I also discuss how Republicans have completely adopted the Democrat view of health care – the most important fiscal policy issue.
Worse, we have no movement to elect conservatives to the Senate. The roster of candidates will make things worse, and Trump is endorsing RINOs. Now the media is pushing the Arizona governor to pick a RINO to fill McCain’s seat. Conservatives need to raise hell over this.
Finally, I delve into the good news on jailbreak and show that when conservatives really speak up to Trump, he listens. This iteration of jailbreak is dead for now, but we need to watch out in the long term. These people want to abolish bail and prison. The moral of the story is that we must get to Trump before the bad guys do. This is true on every issue.

We Can't Choose Our Native-born, but We Can Choose Our Immigrants Ep. 269
Between 1.3 million criminal aliens, endless Islamist immigrants tied to terror, and MS-13 gang members, we have needlessly imported aliens who are harming our country when our tradition has been to bring in only those with good moral character.
In this show, I address recent immigration news, particularly the illegal alien alleged murderer of Mollie Tibbetts, to show how almost every illegal alien crime, by definition, is avoidable. I discuss E-Verify and identity theft and how easy it would be to detect these individuals, yet government until recently has been doing the opposite. We coddle those who engage in identity theft in order to promote amnesty.

Government Dropping the Ball on Drugs and Terrorism Ep. 268
Today, I'm joined by Derek Maltz, former head of the DEA’s Special Operations Division. He warns us that we are missing the most dangerous angle of the drug crisis. So much of the drug trade is funding terrorism, and this is done by criminal aliens allowed on our own soil.
We tie together China, Mexican cartels, Middle Eastern immigrants funding terror, drugs, crime, sanctuary cities, and weak-on-crime laws. A tall order for one show! Derek explains the need for more cross-agency cooperation and how Bruce Ohr and Robert Mueller dropped the ball on drug leads that could have exposed major terrorist plots and networks.
After listening to this show, you will see why now is the worst time to go soft on drug trafficking.

The Drug Crisis Is No Longer Just About Drugs Ep. 267
In this episode, I discuss the nexus between crime, the drug crisis, immigration, and terror financing. It’s a perspective on the drug crisis, crime, and incarceration that nobody else will explain or even recognize. I dismiss the typical debate over “the war on drugs” by identifying the true nature of what we face with drugs today. This is not a cultural or health care debate; this is a national security and immigration issue. Once we understand the problem and the cause, it’s easy to understand why the jailbreak legislation is terrible.
I also give a broad perspective on why the soft-on-crime proposals are all built on lies across the board. Finally, I expose the duplicity of Sen. Chuck Grassley on crime and drugs – flipping from one end to another in a matter of a few months.
