Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Are you ready for Republicans to use their final days with full control for conservative outcomes? You’ll be waiting until you die. Instead, they plan to pass jailbreak while ignoring our immigration problems, the debt, and the out-of-control judiciary before giving over the gavel to Nancy Pelosi. Why is Trump not threatening to use his veto? I delve into the comments from John Roberts about judicial supremacy and his rebuke of Trump. This is how Congress is the ultimate lame duck: allowing single district judges to use more power than the entire legislative body of government. Next, I give you a full debriefing on the jailbreak bill and the stratagem of its proponents to lie their way into its passage.

Today I'm joined by a new type of congressman-elect: He is coming to Congress with the full intent of resetting the baseline of our politics on the five or so most critical issues of our time. In this must-listen, blockbuster episode to set the tone for Thanksgiving, I'm joined by Rep.-elect Chip Roy to discuss his vision for the future of our country. You will see very early on that Roy is not like anyone else we’ve elected in recent memory. He outlines his priorities on debt, health care, foreign policy, immigration and sovereignty, and judicial supremacy. “We don’t need a majority, but a tireless minority when a few patriots on the inside work with outsiders to educate the public on the truth.” Roy plans to stand in the breach, define the fight on our own terms, and make all this political noise meaningful to the American people.

The theme today is a world turned upside down. Our foreign policy is backwards. Our military policy is backwards. Our criminal justice priorities are backwards. Our approach to pain killers and health care juxtaposed to jailbreak initiatives is immoral. Our court system and immigration systems are backwards. Want the truth about the jailbreak bill? Tune in. Next, we discuss the insanity of judicial supremacy and the Acosta decision from a Trump-appointed judge and how this shows we are right about “appointing better judges” being a fool’s errand. Finally, we give an update on the border crisis and show from Orange County, California how we are losing our electorate without consent.

In this episode, I update y’all on jailbreak and how facts and details don’t matter to the bipartisan political class. But here’s the thing: That is only true because conservatives are asleep and let them get away with it. If we force an actual confrontation on this issue and other issues, they will be forced to defend the indefensible and we will win. I also go through the latest on the courts trying to steal Florida’s elections and change election laws late in the game. We literally have late voting now.

Why is it that nothing changes in Washington? Because conservatives have lost any vision. The only vision they have is getting sucked in by the swamp. In today’s episode, I discuss how only 43 House members voted to change leadership and what it means. I also tackle issues in the executive branch with good personnel being forced out because we refuse to back them. Trump is now pushing jailbreak, a colossal betrayal of his campaign promise. I'll give you the details. Next, I discuss the latest on how the caravan is being let in to invade our country as Trump focuses on jailbreak. Finally, I discuss how the courts are controlling election law, in violation of our Constitution and history, which give states authority over election laws. We are losing multiple elections because of judicial supremacy.

I begin today’s show by honoring the commitment of our veterans to this country’s defense. Our policy-makers owe it to our troops to make their sacrifices worthwhile and not waste them on aimless missions that often run counter to our security interests. Afghanistan is the ultimate case study for what I call “the reverse Patton.” Next, I discuss three issues where Republicans are making more Democrat voters: voter fraud, jailbreak, and immigration. Republicans have refused to deal with voter fraud and the issue of non-citizens voting. Now those chickens are coming home to roost. Worse, Democrats now plan to use their time in charge of the House to push even more voting anomalies and mandates on the states. They will show the do-nothing Republicans what it means to control the House. What’s the next thing Republicans plan to do with only one more month in control of Congress? They plan to pass an early release bill for gun felons and drug traffickers during the worst border and drug crisis, and while Democrats are pushing gun control. I explain the details of this bill and how it is something Orwell couldn’t have written. Show links Afghanistan commander admits the war is lost but has new plan for our troops How to value the lives of our soldiers at a minimum Dems plan to push voter fraud in legislation Jailbreak is a betrayal of Trump’s campaign promise As of 2012, there were likely 200,000 non-citizens registered to vote in Florida Why nothing matters until judicial supremacy is dealt with Copyright CRTV.

Following this election, there are so many decision points we are confronted with and so many brushfires from the Left to put out, yet we have no movement to combat them. In this episode, I discuss leadership elections, primaries, picking an attorney general, jailbreak, judicial supremacism, election law, and the border crisis. On each of these issues, the Left is owning us, yet we are busy distracting ourselves with nonsense. We need leaders on the Right now. In the second half, I dissect Trump’s executive order on the border and why it is lukewarm. Finally, I make the definitive case for why we will not win back the courts as long as we agree to judicial supremacism.

Teddy Roosevelt once said that “there is no enemy of free government more dangerous and none so insidious as the corruption of the electorate.” Today I am joined by Logan Churchwell, communications and research director for the Public Interest Legal Foundation, to discuss the growing problem of voter fraud, incompetent election officials, and the asymmetrical warfare the Left has been fighting in law and politics with election law. Ever since election night, Democrats have been flipping races left and right — well, only Left — with provisional ballots, forced recounts, and other anomalies. Logan gives us a complete intelligence briefing on what is happening in Florida with Democrats continuing to close the gap with new votes. He also gives us a broad view of how the Left has created an industry around victimizing minorities and openly using racist arguments to claim they are too incompetent to vote like everyone else and require special “help.” Democrats are winning both in the culture and in court, creating an insurance policy of provisional votes they can use to flip close elections.

This is my first analysis of the election results. Bottom line is that this election has a lot more good news for conservatives than we previously thought.

Rather than debate the accuracy of polling and make predictions on an outcome we will know within hours, I focus today on getting focused as a movement. Irrespective of Tuesday’s outcome, we will need to lean on this administration to make the right choices, and we must give air cover to our allies. Unfortunately, our allies in this administration are being overruled on issues pertaining to Iran sanctions, spending bills, and how to deal with the courts, as well as immigration. We do Trump and the MAGA allies no favors by complaining about the deep state in the abstract, but then refusing to criticize the administration when it allows the deep state to win on important policies. I discuss all these policies on today’s show. Next, we delve into how the courts will strip this president of any lawful powers to improve this country and how we need to wake up and smell the judicial tyranny. They have now taken over all state election law powers even as they strip the federal government of its lawful power to set one uniform day for elections. Finally, I return to our discussion of birthright citizenship from last week and supply yet more evidence that the entire legal profession is dead wrong on this issue.

“Every society from a great nation down to a club had the right of declaring the conditions on which new members should be admitted, there can be room for no complaint.” –Gouverneur Morris (believed to be primary author of the actual prose of Constitution), Constitutional Convention in 1787 This is one of my longest and most foundational podcasts. I trace back sovereignty, citizenship, and self-governance form our Founding through the 14th Amendment and subsequent court cases. I show how we are no longer a sovereign nation thanks to illegal immigration, judicial supremacy, and the mix of the two problems. Bookmark this as your definitive takedown of the feudal-era jus soli principle on birthright citizenship, conclusively proving why Wong Kim Ark was wrongly decided and why even if we support that decision, it cannot be extended to illegal aliens.

I pack into this hour every fact and myth about birthright citizenship. Illegal immigrants who come here without the consent of the people cannot be considered as having attained entry onto our soil. As such, even if we have birthright citizenship for legal immigrants, it cannot be applied to legal immigrants. I go through the full historical, philosophical, and legal case.

Pittsburgh, pain, and politics. In this episode, I discuss the theological underpinnings of what went on this weekend and what should not be political. Unfortunately, those with an agenda have already made the part of this that shouldn’t be political into a political witch hunt to stifle debate. It all gets back to never letting a crisis go to waste for a political agenda. I make the case for why atrocities shouldn’t be used as human shields to stifle debate. I also explain my views on how to deter and protect against these attacks to the best of our ability. Show links Atrocities are not political human shields to stifle debate Refugee policies are killing us with “compassion” Muslim immigrants chanting “Intifada” on our shores Should we import the values of the Middle East?

"When a wise man points at the moon, the imbecile examines the finger." There’s a growing trend that whenever there is an attempted or successful terrorist attack, a politically motivated attack, a school shooting, or other heinous public crime, we debate the party affiliation of the perpetrator, the weapon of choice, and the nature of the target. But what we all fail to notice is that most people who sink to the level of murder or attempted murder usually have rap sheets of “lower” crimes and other warning signs. Rather than tear each other down over politics, we need to start asking why these people, known wolves, as my friend Patrick Poole calls them, are not locked up. In this special episode, I discuss how “rhetoric” on both sides is not responsible for their respective crazies who try to murder. The only problem is when people like Maxine Waters make specific threats to get in public official’s faces and swarm them with a “crowd.” That is not a rhetoric problem; that is a direct threat. In this case, as with the Scalise shooting by a Bernie supporter, it’s nobody’s fault. It’s a criminal justice problem. He had a huge rap sheet and was never locked up. This is a problem from both parties because they both support policies that have ensured people arrested for similar crimes are not locked up.

Are we just going to be Election Day groundhog activists and go back into our bunker the day after the election, or will we finally forge ahead with an agenda? In this episode, I discuss the need to reset the baseline of what it means to be a conservative, how it applies today, and what we seek to achieve. Otherwise, that baseline will forever drift to the left. I discuss Chip Roy’s plan to reset the baseline, the way we discuss issues, and the goals we hope to achieve on all the important issues. I delve into the false dichotomy about labels like nationalism and how we define ourselves relative to the media rather than in our own affirmative and absolute terms. Finally, I give an update on some immigration-related news and how the courts are a perfect example of the need to reset the baseline.

Many people fail to realize that our laws on illegal immigration are fine; it’s our executive policies and the courts that are the problem. We don’t really make illegal immigration illegal, and actually, we sometimes criminalize enforcement, not illegal immigration. If we merely de-magnetized our border by ramping up interior enforcement, ending asylum, and ending all of the benefits, illegals would not come. I prove this thesis through history and data. Also, we must be careful that the border wall doesn’t become a distraction. I explain how border walls only help if we respect our own sovereignty, but not if we invite illegal immigrants in with asylum and other benefits. It’s more important to tackle the policy problem than the infrastructure problem. Finally, I discuss the concern of terrorists in Latin America being smuggled through our border and how it’s worse than you think.

In this episode, we discuss the need for a movement and a conservative media that calls the balls and strikes on policies of a Republican president and Congress. Often Trump is intuitively with us but has idiots in his administration pushing him the other way. We do him no favors by treating him with "kid gloves" and ignoring his policy betrayals, because it strengthens the hands of the swampsters and weakens our allies in the administration. We begin by focusing on the good things Trump is doing to combat Russia’s nuclear aggression and his laudable decision to pull out of the one-sided nuclear treaty. We make the case for how Trump can follow up on this and destroy Democrats on Russian collusion. Next, we focus on opportunities and pitfalls with the caravan invasion of our border. Trump is hitting the right stride, but there are still forces in his administration that are helping the invasion with wrongheaded asylum policies. We give you some inside information about what’s happening at our border and what needs to happen to restore the rule of law in immigration. Finally, we address judicial supremacism and how even Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch seems to think a republic means judicial supremacism.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

In this episode, I analyze the Kavanaugh tragedy – and yes, it is a tragedy – from a unique angle. Democrats on the Judiciary Committee have been the leaders in weak-on-crime laws for juvenile crimes and want to let convicted felons out of jail. They don’t give a darn about victims. Yet when it comes to political outcomes, they are willing to hang a guy with no evidence and violate every norm of due process under the guise of protecting victims. I explore multiple factors, political dynamics, and outcomes that are seemingly conflicting but are all true in their own right. The Republicans' stand on this issue is important, but only if that is used as a springboard and a cathartic moment to change their modus operandi, not as a means of covering up every other betrayal and continuing to do so. In that vein, I explore how conservatives should view Lindsey Graham’s newfound feistiness. The key is this: Many thoughts (and hot takes!) can be true at the same time.

Unfortunately, this will be lost in the fight to the death over Kavanaugh, but Trump just delivered one of his best speeches. Today, I am joined by CR’s national security correspondent, Jordan Schachtel, to dissect the important elements of Trump’s speech before the U.N. General Assembly. Jordan shows how Trump is taking a new, much-needed stance on international relations, breaking through the false choices of isolationism and globalism. We also go through our typical “foreign policy Friday” discussion about where the administration is living up to the principles Trump laid out and where it is falling short. We cover Latin America, Israel, Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. Is Chinese meddling in our election a bigger problem than Russian meddling?

In this episode, I dissect how phony conservatives have supported a phony Republican Party that never accomplishes anything and always moves the ball forward for the Left. I explain how they continue to get away with the biggest political fraud of all time by promoting the same arguments for voting GOP. You are as likely to succeed in promoting conservatism with this political party as the Cleveland Browns are likely to win the Super Bowl. I tie together the latest on the Kavanaugh case, the death of the Values Voter Summit, and the betrayal on the budget bill. Finally, I offer a preview of the upcoming battle over immigration and public charge. “You have planted much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough.

Today I'm joined by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, to discuss the failures of House leadership and how they are betraying their promises on the budget. Jordan tells us that House leaders are like a wrestler who forfeits the match the minute the whistle is blown without having a fight. The congressman gives a vision for what he plans to do in the House if he wins the election for speaker. He plans to make the House at least an equal partner with the Senate, if not the stronger body. We also discuss how the Founders would laugh at SCOTUS confirmation fights becoming so acrimonious, yet budgets being so amicable between the two sides. It reflects a perversion of where the power is supposed to lie within our system of government. Finally, we discuss the latest on illegal immigrant families getting to host other illegal alien children without ever getting deported, even though many of them also have criminal records.

Today is the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution, but nobody cares. I relate the final hours of the convention and discuss the lessons we can learn from Benjamin Franklin’s closing speech and what we need in our era. Then I move on to the Kavanaugh accusations. Rather than focus on details that we frankly don’t know, I draw two important lessons from this. One, Republicans always nominate milquetoast people thinking they can placate the Left, but then get burned by the worst accusations of all. Also, I discuss, irrespective of the truth in this case, the general problem with our culture of hyper-sexualization among the youth that the very people who claim to care about “me too” refuse to address.

“Republicans have always had a rare gift for paying the political price associated with revolutionary change without actually accomplishing anything revolutionary. They're savaged for actions they were intimidated out of taking.” ~John Hayward. In this episode, I explain how we are getting sold out on every issue in the budget battle and we are also facing a catastrophic loss at the ballot box. The two issues are quite intertwined, and I describe how Republicans managed to pull off the worst stewardship of government of all time – suffer all the liabilities of power but get none of the benefits. They are stoking the opposition beyond anything we’ve seen while doing nothing to energize their base or reclaim lost voters in the middle. I go over the health care, immigration, budget, and spending betrayals and how the current budget setup is a triple play. The soft bigotry of low expectations and complacency from those who call themselves movement conservatives is taking a toll.

Not only have we failed to learn the lessons of 9/11, we have done the exact opposite of what prudence should have dictated regarding immigration and border policy. Today I am joined by Todd Bensman (@BensmanTodd), senior national security fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies. Bensman draws upon his experience in intelligence for the Texas Department of Public Safety to discuss the threat of Middle Easterners at our southern border. Bensman believes the threat of granting asylum to Middle Easterners at our border is being ignored by much of the political class. It remains our Achilles heel because “terrorists are unlikely to come here with a bomb; they will come with a good story.” We are admitting a number of Middle Easterners at our border through our broken asylum system. Todd believes that we have a problem with a migrant trail just like in Europe. He explains the pipeline through Latin America and how there is a well-established process for bringing in Middle Easterners. The moral of the story? Why are we not focusing more on the border, visas, and Latin American relations since 9/11 rather than Middle Eastern civil wars? When will we learn the lessons of 9/11?

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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We are facing a conundrum. Our base is sleeping and distracted because they perceive that we are in power and changing the status quo, but really the status quo is getting worse on many fronts. Thus the other side is energized as if conservatives are in power, but despite some positive changes, things are actually getting worse. For our purposes today, I discuss two issues critical to civilization: religious liberty and immigration. The Left is winning its sexual licentiousness agenda more than ever before, and despite the court decision, leftists are forcing bakers to bake cakes against their consciences. Conservatives are so caught up in thinking we are winning back the courts that we refuse to get on the playing field and push for legislation protecting religious liberty. Also, think we had a "travel ban"? Think again. Immigration from the Middle East is still at record highs, has increased from some areas, and has only slightly decreased from those countries on the list. Imagine if we had a sensible immigration policy. Show links A Somali bigamist and Islamist who married brother as a congresswoman?

The abstract immigrant is very popular. Recently, Laura Ingraham and Stephen Miller have been attacked for their views on immigration because the Left only understands a hypothetical abstract immigrant. Facts, details, and the broader context on immigration don’t matter. In this episode, I give you a real history lesson on our laws, traditions, and policies concerning immigration. We never let in criminals or public charges, and we most certainly would never have granted citizenship to illegal aliens. Immigration must always be viewed in its proper historical context. I also warn you about the upcoming budget betrayal in the Senate. Don’t think they are coming back early from recess to do good things.

Most suburban voters don’t want to embrace MS-13 and Hamas while banning straws. Yet they are fleeing the GOP for a party that is doing just that. Why? In this episode, we break down the recent election results and show how and why Republicans are losing this election. They need policies, personnel, and a purpose but are lacking all three. They are incurring all the liabilities of Trump but are not benefiting from his appeal to other demographics because they lack a message that will bring them to the polls. We also update you in a lightning round of news on immigration, the courts, and other happenings in politics. Watch out for jailbreak legislation. This is a code red. Trump has been convinced to promote the most extreme early release agenda and sentencing reduction that, yes, includes violent offenders. Finally, we show the extent of the personnel problems with liberals or RINOs still holding major positions in the administration. Also, why are so many critical executive positions still vacant so late into this presidency?

Today I'm joined by Professor Brian Fitzpatrick, a former Scalia law clerk and current law professor at Vanderbilt University. Brian gives us an expert opinion on the current trends in the lower courts and their threat to democracy. Following up on his congressional testimony, Fitzpatrick argues that unless we reform the jurisdiction of the lower federal courts, any anomalous and extreme judge among the 7,000 district judges can wield enormous power. He warns that if you’re counting on a conservative Supreme Court to catch every mistake of the lower courts, you will surely be disappointed. SCOTUS is continuously reducing its workload and is very cautious to weigh in. Given that the Left is shopping around its lawsuits to courts that will give it victories and nationwide injunctions, the cases are never even brought to the Supreme Court. He sees the most immediate needs as dividing up the Ninth Circuit and having Congress ban universal injunctions as the best remedies. We also discuss the need to transfer more power to state courts, particularly from lower federal courts. Congress has enormous power over the courts, if it will only use it.

There are two major policy betrayals emanating from this White House – both of which are being pushed by Javanaka. In this show we delve into the problems with the soft-on-crime “jailbreak” agenda and the stupid economics behind Ivankacare. First, we go through the details of the jailbreak bills that nobody is willing to study, much less oppose. Don’t listen to the platitudes of “criminal justice reform.” Look at what is actually happening with crime and incarceration and compare against what the bills actually do. Then, we discuss the insane social and economic values behind Marco Rubio’s “Ivankacare" bill. Europe’s experience shows that this is a dumb idea that only exacerbates family problems and creates a glass ceiling for women. Are we going to allow Trump to drift on such fundamental issues?

It’s another ‘foreign policy Friday’ and we are joined by CR’s national security correspondent, Jordan Schachtel (@Jordan Schachtel). We go around the map and update you on what’s going on in Iran, Israel, Turkey, and North Korea and asses everything from a standpoint of what is in our interest and what is not. We also asses where the administration is making progress and where they need to hear a vision from conservatives in order to right the ship. The foreign policy swamp is big and powerful and unless conservatives develop their own policies and get in the ears of Trump, even the best of cabinet picks will be overwhelmed by the forces of the status quo. We also discuss the bombshell revelation of Dianne Feinstein employing a Chinese spy for 20 years. Finally, we dissect the cancer of the Kochs and how they push left-wing policies. They are being empowered by Jared and Ivanka who are now both pushing jailbreak and socialist paid family leave programs. Now is a time for conservatives to be bold and brave and demand that Trump orient all his policies and personnel with his rhetoric.
