Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

In this special episode of the Conservative Conscience, we give the long view of what happened in Alabama and where things are headed.  The important thing now is to just get the truth and put all politics aside.  At the same time, there are so many lessons we can take out from what is going on in our culture and body politic – that until and unless there is a successful reform movement to change the way our political system is working, we are headed for a death spiral between two entrenched sides and false dichotomies.  Everyone is fighting over what to do about a potentially lost Senate seat, but the reality is the entire institution of the Senate is lost.  What is our answer moving forward?  Irrespective of the outcome in Alabama, there is something so much bigger happening in our culture.   “love truth and peace.” Zachariah 8:19 Learn more about your ad choices.

When will conservatives stop dying on the sword of a party that sullies our brand by laying claim to it but ultimately does the exact opposite?  In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we digest the true long-term meaning of the GOP defeat in Virginia.  This is a long-term problem whereby conservatives are going to incur all of the liabilities of both the GOP and Trump’s persona but none of the benefits of Trump’s intuition.  We go through a number of quiet examples of how this administration is lurching far to the left and so many Trump appointees are antithetical to his stated agenda.  Until we start a new problem, this dynamic will never end.   Show links GOP tax deduction compromise is the worst of all worlds – the trademark of the GOP Why we must break away from the red vs. blue game https://twitter.com/Simpsonreport/status/928249060456353792 GOP tax plan raises taxes on entrepreneurs Trump DHS continues another amnesty   Top Pentagon pick promotes “therapeutic abortion” in military Trump DHS pick: we “owe” illegals amnesty Learn more about your ad choices.

Are you a tax policy nerd? You’ll love this episode.  Even if you’re not into tax policy, we break down the clutter and show what others are missing about the GOP tax plan.  In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we bring out the broad outcome and the individual details of the GOP plan to demonstrate why the GOP is called the “stupid party.”  The GOP is incurring all the worst political liabilities of a tax cut plan and getting none of the policy benefits.  Worse, most middle-income taxpayers will wind up paying more in taxes in the long run.  Meanwhile, these same families are getting hosed with $2,100 premiums, yet the GOP won’t repeal Obamacare.  We delve into how the GOP dealt with deductions in the worst possible way while failing to bring down rates enough to shield people from paying more.  There are also stealth tax increases built into this plan.  In total, it is not worth the paper it’s printed on.  Show links     GOP tax plan too clever by half Socialism Stings: Obamacare Premiums at $2,100 Learn more about your ad choices.

The Fourth Circuit has literally taken over control of the state of North Carolina.  This is happening around the country and nobody is paying attention.  Lower federal courts are denuding state legislature of basic powers over their own internal affairs. The biggest danger is now coming from the courts mandating that legislative maps be drawn in a way that is most advantageous to Democrats.  The only thing worse than a legislative gerrymander is a judicial gerrymander.  In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we are joined by North Carolina’s LT. Governor, Dan Forest.  He discusses his lonely battle against judicial tyranny and how North Carolina is the canary in the coal mine for what the left will do to other states.   Show notes Fourth Circuit owns North Carolina Learn more about your ad choices.

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled jihadists yearning to slit our throats. This is essentially our motto as a self-immolating nation.  In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we discuss how the front line in this war is not in Raqqa, Tikrit, Kabul, or Mogadishu; it’s in communities such as Patterson, Brooklyn, NY, & Minneapolis.  We have let in immigrants from places we should have never accepted and are doing so in record numbers.  We discuss what a sane country would do to rectify the situation and how things will get worse if we don’t wake up. Key quote   “The citizens of America preferred this country, because it is to be preferred; the like principle he wished might be held by every man who came from Europe to reside here; but there was at least some grounds to fear the contrary; their sensations, impregnated with prejudices of education, acquired under monarchical and aristocratical Governments, may deprive them of that zest for pure republicanism, which is necessary in order to taste its beneficence with that gratitude which we feel on the occasion.” Theodore Sedgewick, 1790   Show notes Are we taking in radical islamists that even Muslim Countries Don’t Want Andy McCarthy on importing Sharia supremacism Muslim immigration fastest growing 1.8 million green cards issued to Muslim countries since 9/11 End the diversity visa lottery now   Muslim imam on why it makes no sense to bring in new Muslim immigrants before assimilating Learn more about your ad choices.

The news of the week is all about Boehner’s interview, Manafort’s indictment, and the pedophile Kevin Spacey.  Meanwhile, all conservative media is missing the most important stories of the week.  Which is why we are here… In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we discuss how the courts continue to dismantle the fabric of our society and the values of our Constitution by nullifying election law, mandating transgenderism in the military, and ripping down war memorials.  Rather than fight back against it, the administration is obsequiously giving in to the courts and even appealing the one good ruling conservatives got from the judiciary on a labor regulation.  The courts are legislative the continuation of Obama’s lawless or harmful policies beyond his presidency.   The more we are distracted the more the left will continue winning 100-year culture battles over night without firing a shot.  They need not win elections.  The courts and administrative state are doing it for them.    Show links Fourth Circuit owns North Carolina Leftists running Pentagon want to draft women Learn more about your ad choices.

In this action-packed episode of inside information, Daniel goes through how Congress is focusing on more illegal aliens and guest workers from the third world at a time when Americans need help with their communities overrun by the ill-effects of criminal aliens.  Yet, the courts are criminalizing immigration enforcement and granting more and more privileges to illegals.  A land turned upside down. Illegal aliens are the most powerful constituency in this country.  Almost every corporation, lobbyist, legal foundation, court, and politician has prioritized their demands at the expense of America’s basic rights. We go through recent court cases, new legislation being proposed and rejected, and some failed promises of the Trump administration on immigration to demonstrate why it’s time for a movement that speaks for the forgotten American.      Show links A right for abortion chain migration Illegals rule the roost CIS study on destruction of English in America Why English must be made the official language IRS fines Americans, gives tax credits to illegals   Learn more about your ad choices.

What does our foreign policy and military escapades have to do with the ethanol mandate? We continue failed, harmful policies just because the powers behind them are able to self-perpetuate. In this action-packed episode of the Conservative Conscience, we cut through the hot air and distraction over the Trump-media war fighting over which president offered better condolence calls to families of fallen heroes.  The real question we should all be asking is how to change policies so that we don’t have so many fallen heroes who die because our civilian and military leadership continue doubling down on the wrong engagements with no strategic objectives.  We discuss the need for a complete operational audit of the 140 countries we are involved in so that we can better identify our strategic objectives.    Much of our failed policies overseas stems from the same problems as failed domestic policies.  We deviate from the constitutional method of having the whole of the people through Congress decide the issue and instead allow special interests to perpetuate failure. Finally, we close with an update on Republicans screwing consumers with the ethanol mandate and how they have squandered an amazing opportunity to stand with the free market, the Constitution, and show how liberals are the ones tied to crony special interests.    Show notes U.S. to expand role in Africa  Afghani soldiers brought to our shores go AWOL   Ethanol lobby wins again Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we speak the truth about the severity of the judicial crisis, how it happened, what is happening now that makes this issue an emergency, why it won’t be fixed with traditional methods, how conservative legal elites have screwed us, and what we can do about it.  We begin by addressing almost a dozen mind-boggling decisions by the courts recently and how they are shutting down our country and nobody is talking about it.  Next, we address the stratagem and philosophy behind what they are doing and how it will succeed no matter how many new judges Trump appoints. Finally, we conclude with a lesson on the difference between judicial review and judicial supremacy, how “conservative” legal activists are part of the problem and misunderstand this lesson, and what we can do to educate people and change course.   Key quotes: “If god gave me one political wish, it would be to end the constitutional crisis with judicial supremacy.” “This regulation [judicial review] is far from throwing any disparagement upon the legislative authority of the United States. It does not confer upon the judicial department a power superiour, in its general nature, to that of the legislature; but it confers upon it, in particular instances, and for particular purposes, the power of declaring and enforcing the superiour power of the constitution—the supreme law of the land.” ~ James Wilson, Lectures on Law, Chapter XI, 1791.

We kick off this busy week by first discussing why Trump is not really remaking the judiciary, despite some reporting to the contrary.  While all his picks have been solid, the courts are so irremediably broken that we need full judicial reform.  We go through the latest example of judicial tyranny with sanctuary cities to demonstrate why no Republican president will be able to win over the current judiciary as it is conceived.  However, the most pressing issue is that Iraq has become our Obamacare for foreign policy.  We are doubling down on supporting the Iranian-backed government in Baghdad, even though they are now beheading Kurds in Kirkuk.  For today’s show, we bring on Jordan Schachtel, CR’s national security correspondent, to discuss the insanely backwards strategy of supporting foe over friend in the Middle East.
