America is Ruled by One Man…And It’s Not Obama - Ep. 40: We explore the original role of the Judiciary as conceived by our Founders, a role that has transformed into that of an oligarchy. Anthony Kennedy determines the outcome of every political issue in our country. That is very dangerous for democracy. by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Primary Preview & Holding the Line On Obama's SCOTUS Nominee - Ep. 22: Upcoming Primaries Daniel goes over the road ahead for the GOP primary and discusses some delegate math. At this point, the best chance to stop Trump is for Kasich to drop, as has been said time and time again, but barring that Cruz does have the ability to win some important states and walk away with an argument and mandates heading into the convention. Arizona & Utah are closed primaries. Will this first chance for Cruz to run in a narrowed filed, in closed primaries show his strength? Will early voting hurt in Arizona where some numbers have almost 55% of the people voting early? Kasich: He doesn’t have a path to win another state, let along a plurality – what is his end game? SCOTUS Nominee It looks like Senate GOP leadership may hold the line on the SCOTUS nominee, but they are so unfamiliar with such principled stands that they come off looking awkward and goofy. Can they unify in message or will it come by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

The Conservative Path Forward: #NeverRINOs - Ep. 31: Ted Cruz is out, Kasich is out, and Donald Trump is now the presumptive GOP Nominee for President. Now what? What is the path forward for conservatives? Not just for the White House in 2016, but down ballot and moving forward. Daniel and Joe talk about what the real problem was for conservatives in 2016, and what needs to be corrected in the future.

The GOP Congress is Scoring Points for the Other Team: One of the reasons that Trump-mania is sweeping the nation is that the voting electorate is mad at anyone associated with the federal government. Republicans are not immune to this dissatisfaction, because even with the majority, they are scoring points for the Left, and allowing the Obama administration to get whatever they want. Since coming back, Congress has done nothing but focus on backwards priorities, all the while ignoring winning 80/20 issues simply because they might have the slightest hint of “SOCIAL” attached to their policy description. Along with the fact that Senate GOP leadership is up to its old tricks again, trying to prevent a way for Sen. Mike Lee from gaining a position on Senate leadership. Daniel and Joe discuss the top issues that the GOP is focusing on, and the ones that they should actually be concerned with – the ones that most impact the country and should be the focus of the presidential race and Con by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Oligarchy: Liberals Winning 50 Year Battle Overnight: The Democrats have successfully shifted the entire universe of the political spectrum in just a few years. Their radicalism thrives without consistent, principled opposition. The radical leftists have seized control of the Democrat Party, which has allowed them to control the media, the institutions of higher learning, and then the culture. Fundamentally, the Republicans have done nothing to fight back. That is why President Obama has “fundamentally transformed” America in 8 short years. The latest attempt by the left to redefine what it means to be a man and what it means to be a woman is just the latest example of the left’s ability to radically change the culture in the absence of principled opposition. Is there any floor to the decadence or any point at which Republicans will fight back? Daniel demonstrates how the only way to save the Republic is to begin operating like a third party within the GOP. The only way to ac by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Why Do We Have An Unelected Super Legislature? The Runaway Federal Courts: Nowhere in the Constitution does it describe an unelected super legislature who is tasked with determining what is and isn't Constitutional but that is exactly what we have with the federal courts and especially the Supreme Court. The concept of judicial review started as a controversial function that would sometimes be used by the Supreme Court, but today it seems all societal and legislative questions find their answer through the courts. Daniel and Joe discuss the courts and the impact they have on America, our laws, and the future of the Republic. by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Time for Conservatives to get off the couch and fight the important battles – Ep. 49: So, are you for open borders or are you for deporting every single Muslim we’ve already admitted, including those who are already citizens and are constitutionally protected from deportation? Are you for the Chamber of Crony Commerce agenda or are you for populism/nationalism, shutting down all trade and “punishing” any company that moves overseas? How about none of the above? Daniel discusses the latest manifestation of this false choice presented to voters and together with Joe Koss continues to explore ways conservatives can move beyond false choices. Whatever one does at the ballot box on top of the ticket, we must all remember that this is still not North Korea where everything depends on the selection of the chief executive of the federal government, although it is certainly important. We still have the other branches of the federal government, the states, the culture, and activism wher by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

The Transgendered GOP Congress - Ep. 35: The GOP has had the Majority in the House and Senate for a while now, and the excuse of not passing positive legislation is that Obama would simply veto any meaningful measures. But when they carry the water for Obama as they appeared to have done on the Transgendered Bill this week, you have to see them for what they really are: a transgendered GOP Congress. They identify as Republicans, but in reality the way they vote and legislate is that of liberals. by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Democrats Can't Safeguard Our Sovereignty, Security, or Society: Republicans have a majority in the House and Senate, and therefore they should be "greasing the skids" for a GOP President to come in and undo the the societal transformation that has occurred under President Obama. Democrats cannot safeguard, nor will the attempt to, our SOVEREIGNTY, SECURITY, or SOCIETY and the principles that are the basis for these pillars. The big question is why Republicans are asleep at the wheel. The GOP has the chance to win on so many "80/20" issues but shy away at the first scent that it might expose them politically. Daniel and Joe discuss these three issues, and how if Republicans wanted to win on them they could. The key to upholding Sovereignty, Security, and Society is simple -- but it requires adhering to actual conservative principles. Listen as Daniel lays out the plain facts on what it takes to win on conservative issues that are vital to the success and prosperity of America. by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Making State Legislatures Great Again - Ep. 34: There is a good chance that no new conservatives will be elected to the U.S. Senate. Few if any conservatives will be on ballots for the House. As for the GOP Presidential nominee... well... So what are conservatives left with? Daniel and Joe argue it is the best hope, and possibly best strategy for conservatives to regain a foothold in the political arena. It isn't an easy or quick solution, but it would have lasting and important effects on the political landscape for years to come. by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

A Republic, not a Democracy - Ep. 30: Our once proud constitutional republic has turned into a pure democracy. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel and Joe demonstrate from the outcome of the presidential and congressional primaries how pure democracy leads to tyranny. It would be much better to conduct primaries through the Colorado convention model where anyone can still participate, but the process tends to attract only those voters truly engaged with the political reality and familiar with the authentic records of each candidate. The Trump campaign has successfully framed the conventions as “voterless elections” orchestrated by the establishment against the will of “the people.” In reality, as Daniel explains, the conventions are dominated by the most committed conservative activists in each state who truly reflect the will of the people and the Constitution, as envisioned by our Founders in a republican form of government.

Everything you needed to know about why Republicans always betray conservatives Ep 82: Why is it that Republicans can’t understand fully repealing Obamacare is a winning issue? Why are they too scared to even cut funding to the UN and the PLO? In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel uses this week’s legislative betrayals as examples to demonstrate why Republicans always betray their topline campaign promises. 1) they don’t understand or have knowledge of constitutional conservative principles and free market policies; 2) they often don’t believe in it; 3) even if they believe and understand them, their political barometer – the understanding of what is and is not a winning issue – is completely broken; 4) the legislative process is so complex and “inside baseball” that they can manipulate voters into thinking they are doing the opposite of what they are actually enacting. This is the reason why Republicans are scared to repeal Obamacare in a meaningful way. And by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Special Guest: Dan Forest, Lt. Gov of North Carolina re: Bathroom Laws: What is the truth behind North Carolina’s common sense law to prevent radicals from tearing down any and every private space for women – be it bathrooms, dormitories, or locker rooms? How did this battle begin and who is standing with local North Carolina Republicans to combat the insanity? Dan Forest, North Carolina’s Lieutenant Governor, joins Daniel to warn the country that if they fail to stand with North Carolina, every state will be overcome with this radical transformation. One of the few brave, articulate, and principled conservatives in an era of a lost Republican Party, Forest makes it clear that he will not back down in the face of boycott threats from the corporate cronies who’ve sought to placate the radical sexual identity movement.

America's Enemy Within & The Complacent Congress - Ep. 23: Daniel takes a step back from this year’s crazy election cycle and focuses on why Americans are so angry with the government to begin with. Judging from President Obama’s recent Cuba visit, secret détente with Iran release of violent terrorists from Guantanamo, and nonchalant response the horrible terror attacks in Brussels, Daniel concludes America has “an enemy within” and a “complacent Congress” unwilling to stand up to him. “This is a president who sides with our enemies, he has downright formed an alliance with our enemies – the Islamists, Iran, the Cuban regime – and yet Congress is completely out-to-lunch.” Cuba: Raul Castro is using our kind immigration laws regarding Cuba to extract concessions from the Obama administration, who is more than willing to give in. Obama normalizes relations with the communist regime while Cuban immigrants are syphoning American welfare funds only to return to Cuba. Congress idles.

How a Real Conservative Party Would Respond to this week’s jihad Ep 59: The voters are demanding that the political class protect our sovereignty and security. Yet, both parties are out to lunch. While Democrats are refusing to even acknowledge the problem of Islamic jihad, their opponents are unwilling to expose their willful blindness. All Republicans care about is jailbreak and other harmful or vacuous policy ideas. They continue to refuse to use the budget bill to defund Obama’s refugee program. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel explores the recent terror attacks through the prism of a real principled Republican Party. What would a party that is truly committed to our nation’s security do in response to this week’s jihad? Daniel outlines a number of ideas that will protect our homeland, address the threat doctrine of the enemy, and respect the constitutional constraints. These are all common sense ideas that are not only good policy but reflect good by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Post-Wisconsin Special : How Will the Cruz vs. Trump Race Play Out?: Who will prevail as the GOP Nominee? Well, the answer to that became a lot more complicated after the resounding win in #WIPrimary by Ted Cruz. Because of his win, and the path forward, it is looking more and more like the summer nominating convention will be open and that no candidate will get to 1,237 – the magical number to secure the nomination. While Cruz and Trump both have states they will likely win easily --- the recent surge by Cruz and the shrunken field have made for an interesting race. Daniel breaks down things state by state, and discusses how the June contest in California may be a deciding factor. Daniel and Joe also discuss the messaging behind declaring a mandate in a race like this. Each Campaign will have to make the case at an open convention (or beforehand) that their candidate should be the nominee.

Why Trump Supporters Should be Mad as Hell About What Went on at the RNC – Ep. 45: We’ve come full circle in this election cycle. Ask anyone who is even semi-enthused by the prospect of a Trump nomination and they will tell you they are tired of the same old, do-nothing establishment elitists. Well, if nothing is done to quickly reform the direction of this convention and the RNC over the next four years, the entire effort to overthrow the establishment will become nothing better than the establishment itself. Everything we have reported on at Conservative Review concerning the despotic chicanery used to steamroll conservatives in Congress is transpiring now at the convention in Cleveland. Daniel breaks down the chicanery and explains the importance for Trump supporters who truly want to reform the party to not allow the same RNC hacks to employ the same despotic tactics they have always pursued.

Pence as Trump's VP - does it even matter? - Ep. 43: Reports are saying that Mike Pence, Governor of Indiana, is Donald Trump's pick for Vice President.

The Messenger Matters in Politics Ep 51: The Messenger Matters in Politics With just under three months until the election, Donald Trump is losing big in almost every major category and in almost every major swing-state (and even some red states). The campaign is in turmoil and has made a habit of consistently stepping on its own foot. Having still run less ads than the Green Party’s Jill Stein, it’s like the Trump campaign is trying to lose. On this week’s episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel Horowitz breaks down the Trump campaign’s failures and what it means for the conservative movement. “We can’t separate the message from the messenger … The messenger matters,” Horowitz argues. While Trump has certainly given strong voice to issues such as immigration and national security, his rise also comes at a cost and could hurt the message in the long run. Moreover, Daniel explains why the general election is different from a primary election dynamic and why Trump can no lo by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

How Pro and Anti Trump Conservatives Can Unite - Ep. 55: The entire political landscape among longstanding conservative figures and grassroots activists is being consumed and defined by whether individuals plan to vote for Trump or not. Since CR’s Mark Levin came out with his statement reluctantly announcing his intention to personally vote for Trump, many activists have expressed either support or disappointment. In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel disagrees with the entire premise that this is the most important question facing conservatives now and explores ways anti-establishment constitutionalists can unite behind actionable items they both agree on. As Daniel notes, it’s heartbreaking watching so many individuals who agree on 90% of the issues, or even 100% of the issues, tear each over apart over the philosophical question of the lesser of two evils. Daniel dissents from the entire debate by explaining that conservatives shouldn’t be defined by their rel by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

GOP’s September Agenda Turning Touchdowns into Interceptions Ep57: Here is Why Obama’s Approval Rating is Climbing GOP’s September Agenda: Turning Touchdowns into Interceptions In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel explains how Republicans take winning issues and turn them into losing issues. Ever wonder why Obama’s approval rating is soaring to levels not seen since 2009, despite his treasonous acts on a daily basis, despite Obamacare, refugees, open borders, the Iran debacle? Daniel gives a full presentation by taking listeners through the panoply of issues in Congress right now to demonstrate how Republicans are serving as an advancing force for Democrat policies.

If Republicans refuse to litigate the case against Democrats and harness critical leverage points to spawn a national discussion on refugees, criminal aliens, the internet giveaway, Obama’s funding of Iran and supporting Al Qaeda overseas, etc., then by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Special Edition: The Media Hijacked the Focus & Priorities of America -Ep. 24: The 2016 Election seems more like a circus than an American presidential race. Daniel rants about how the media covers everything that is sensational, but nothing that is important. The seminal issues of the day are ignored for stories fit more for tabloids than the front page of daily papers. The Founding Fathers wrote and fought for critical issues of life, liberty, and freedom, while the topics that are trending in 2016 are nothing but sensationalized personal interest stories at best. That is why outlets like Conservative Review are so important - the long-form commentary along with the podcasts and LevinTV allow Americans to get the important issues of the day all in one place. by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Murky Waters of the Middle East w/guest Patrick Poole - Ep. 36: In this episode, Daniel has a special guest, Patrick Poole, who uses his expertise to navigate the murky waters of the Middle East. Daniel and Patrick mark the 72ndanniversary of D-Day and lament how our military and strategic vision has fallen so low since those days of glory. Our military has been abused in recent years by being placed in the cross-fire of sectarian civil wars with no national security interests, definitive outcomes, or reasonable rules of engagement. Patrick offers unique insights and updates on what is happening in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya. He observes how our special operations soldiers are being stretched thin and being placed in impossible circumstances because they are being used as the president’s private army in order to fulfill his fundamental global transformation.

What's Wrong and What's Right With Newt's Comments - Ep. 44: Last night, following the Jihad attack in Nice, France, Newt Gingrich stirred up a firestorm when he told Sean Hannity that because western civilization is in a war, “we should frankly test every person here who is of a Muslim background, and if they believe in Sharia, they should be deported.” He also said “modern Muslims who have given up Sharia, glad to have them as citizens.” It is vitally important to draw clear constitutional, legal, historical, philosophical, and prudent policy lines. In this special edition, Daniel notes that while there are very problematic and unconstitutional aspects to Newt’s solution as it relates to U.S. citizens, the former speaker’s diagnosis of the problem and his solution as it relates to future immigration is spot on. There is a degree of constitutional illiteracy that is apparent both in Gingrich’s statement and in the words of his critics.

The Appalling Silence of Conservatives as Judge Roy Moore Battles Judicial Tyranny Alone Ep 63: In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, Daniel discusses how the corrosive modus operandi of so many in the conservative movement has allowed them to focus exclusively on nonsense and ignore the most important story of the week. Judge Roy Moore stands alone in his battle for marriage, the Constitution, federalism, and state sovereignty, yet the conservative media couldn’t care less that he was wrongly suspended. Daniel goes on to explain just how severely the judicial crisis is plaguing our nation and how only a society of beta males would allow it to happen. He further offers insight, using the Alabama case study, as to why state courts are better suited to handle cases dealing with social questions and why the federal judiciary must be denuded of any power over such political questions. “When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be i by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

The Lack of Moral Clarity is Destroying our Republic - Ep. 41: On July 4th, 1776 the founders set forth to establish a system of governance based upon PRINCIPLES and self-evident TRUTHS. They understood moral clarity and that there are areas of life that are not shaded with gray but are black and white. Where has that gone? In this week’s episode of the Conservative Conscience, your host Daniel Horowitz breaks down how America has abandoned black-and-white moral clarity and opted instead for moral relativism – and why that is perhaps the single greatest factor in the destruction of our Republic. Sexual Orientation? Gender? Good & Evil? Natural Law? Religious Freedom? These are all gray areas now. But alas, Horowitz asks, “When was the last time you’ve seen a Republican speak with clarity about morality the same way you see the Democrats speak with clarity about immorality?” … still waiting.

What conservatives can learn from the DNC: If you were able to avoid the Marxist – sorry Democratic – National Convention this past week, consider yourself fortunate. Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and a vast array of zany politicians and obtuse celebrities took the stage to push their radical agenda of immorality, injustice, and de-civilization. Even so, there is a real lesson that conservatives can learn from the DNC, suggests Daniel Horowitz in this week’s episode of the Conservative Conscience podcast. Horowitz says he was “inspired in a very sad way” about how the Left fights so ruthlessly for their policies and NEVER GIVES UP. Democrats believe so strongly in their values and are so indefatigable in their mission to see their goals come to fruition, that for them, defeat is simply not an option. Contrast that to the Republicans who whimper and cave at every turn. Conservatives in turn are in danger of losing their core, their conscience, and then what will we have?
