Today, we are joined by Derek Muller, associate professor at Pepperdine Law School, to give a long and broad view of the judiciary. Derek makes a strong case for nominating Judge Amy Coney Barrett. At the same time, he agrees that we need to move away from relying on the judiciary, because the Left seems to have the game rigged no matter how many justices we appoint. He also warns about lower court judges remaking the election process before our eyes.

Ep 723 | Gaming Out the Future of the Supreme Court

In Washington, politicians are full of half-truths and hot air. They do little more than grandstanding by spouting off talking points and spin. 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 .

Today, I lament how Trump continues to slide to the left and run an ineffective campaign. Yet the very “GOP normie” voters who wrongly put all their eggs in the presidential election basket refuse to ensure that Trump actually puts together a winning strategy. I offer a postmortem on the Senate vote for the Ukraine grift and how Trump endorsed 24 of the 31 who supported it. We are continuing to sleep through another primary season, just like we slept through DeSantis. We’re living through the book of Kings. DeSantis is like Josiah in that he is leading in all the ways we desire, but privately we want to act just like the Left and believe in idols. Plus, “Flight 93 election” revisited eight years later.

Fox News Viewers Want a King to Rule, Not a Leader to Lead | 4/25/24

Congress rarely meets on Saturday, but this week was different. Republican leaders joined with every Democrat to sell us out on foreign aid and everything else that is important. I take a sledgehammer to Mike Johnson (R-La.) for using the Bible and Israel to justify his betrayal when, in fact, even the Israel bill is full of provisions that negate Israel’s security and actually help harness anti-Semitism. Next, we’re joined by Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) for a very thorough debriefing on what occurred on Saturday. Massie explains how Johnson insidiously used a veterans’ bill to grease the skids for Schumer to pass the Ukraine agenda. He makes the full case against Johnson and calls upon his colleagues to sign the motion to vacate so that we can force Johnson out and avoid a floor vote. Also, Massie teases out a potential move to the Kentucky state Senate one day and why that is probably a step up from being in Congress.

The Saturday Massacre of the House GOP and the Need to Remove Speaker Johnson | Rep. Thomas Massie | 4/22/24

There is a reason why we have a comatose movement that refuses to focus on red-state primaries and legislative sessions or holding Republicans accountable. It is so consumed by Trump and his subversion. I explain why Trump will continue to move to the left in pursuit of monied interests and how the conservative base will continue to be ineffective until it comes to terms with his failures. Next, we’re joined by Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), who gives us an update on Speaker Johnson’s legislative ground and pound. He explains how Johnson used procedures to maximize the success of Democrat foreign aid and how he has full support from the Biden administration.

You Can’t Rebuild a Movement Without Removing the Dead Grass | Guest: Rep. Warren Davidson | 4/19/24

There is more pervasive opinion on the Right that the GOP is a fake opposition than ever before. Yet these same commentators refuse to look in the mirror and recognize that they have enabled this for years and continue to do so to this day. They either sleep through the critical legislative fights and primaries or sometimes downright subvert them. I discuss the “code of silence” around pointing any finger at Trump for supporting Ukraine funding, even as everyone gets all red-faced over Speaker Johnson’s betrayal (with Trump’s support). Commentators are starting to acknowledge the red-state RINO problem but fail to see how Trump has re-elected nearly every one of them and continues to do so to this day. These same commentators refuse to get involved in down-ballot primaries, refuse to engage in red-state legislative fights, and refuse to pressure Trump to the right.

Conservative Commentators Like to Fight in the Abstract but Never What’s in Front of Them | 4/18/24

First, we make the case for why Speaker Johnson (R-La.) must be removed and why Trump must stop giving him cover. Johnson is about to screw us on Ukraine for no reason. I also explain how he made FISA 702 much worse than current law in a way that expands the NSA's power to almost any business or landowner with internet service onsite. Next, I delve into a monumental concurrence from Justices Gorsuch, Thomas, and Alito on how lower courts do not have the authority to issue universal injunctions. Unless state governors begin adopting this position, everything we seek to accomplish in the red states will be “vetoed” by the forum-shopped liberal judges. Also, I make the case for why I believe Trump is unlikely to win, but even if he does win, his presidency will be neutralized unless we end the practice of universal injunctions.
