The one job illegals do that Americans won't do Ep.184: When will we have a party that cares about the citizenry as much as Democrats care about illegal aliens? In this episode, we go through the facts and myths of a government shutdown. We also show the enormity that an entire political party is willing to pull out all the stops for illegal aliens. We delve into some background on immigration to show how Republicans are failing to make the strongest arguments against this assault on American sovereignty by using some of Schumer’s own quotes from the past. There are some important lessons we can learn from immigration battles and chicanery of the past. We also discuss the 45th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. What does that have to do with a government shutdown and illegal immigration? Tune in and you will learn everything you need to know about the asymmetrical warfare between the two parties.

Escaping from the Trump Trap - Ep. 37: Republicans of all stripes are caught in the vicious cycle of having to respond to everything Trump says. They are ensnared in the circuitous Trump trap. How do they escape? In this episode, Daniel and Joe discuss the false choice conservatives have been given by the media and political class. Everything in politics is always a binary choice. This year it has fully centered around Trump – whether one is pro-Trump or anti-Trump. The only way to get out of this trap is to redefine the landscape and actually stand for something. Imagine if Republicans actually fought for some of the priorities we focus on here at Conservative Review? Then, the binary choice would be whether you are for flooding the country with un-vetted refugees or whether you stand for American sovereignty and security. Or it would be a choice of whether you stand for privacy and sanity with men not being allowed in female dressing rooms or not? Those are choices cons by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz
