Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Generative AI was sold as the next industrial revolution — but what if it is doing very little good and creating much harm? Cognitive scientist and AI expert Gary Marcus joins Daniel Horowitz to expose why large language models are failing to deliver real productivity, damaging human cognition, and consuming massive amounts of capital with little return. Instead of a productivity boom, we are seeing a misallocation of capital, massive energy waste for data centers, and an internet filled with "algorithmic slop." Gary explains why LLMs are just "autocomplete on steroids" and why the promise of artificial general intelligence is failing to deliver profits. We also discuss the cognitive atrophy of the next generation, the theft of intellectual property, and why China might actually be winning by NOT destroying its education system with chatbots.

What happens when someone who grew up under Islam tells the West what it doesn’t want to hear? Former Muslim and Christian convert Danny Burmawi of the Ideological Defense Institute delivers a stark warning about mass migration, political Islam, and the future of Western civilization. Danny explains why mass Muslim migration is transforming Western societies in ways most Americans don’t understand. He bluntly warns that there is only one form of Islam and that it requires adherence to jihad. Some Muslim dictators are suppressing it in the hopes of achieving economic prosperity, but that is not trickling down to the Muslims living in the West, thanks to the subversion of Western elites allowing political Islam to operate with impunity. I also discuss my thoughts on how the Left is completely crushing Trump on immigration. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The job numbers do not reflect how large a labor depression young workers are facing. We’re joined by labor market consultant Amanda Goodall (@thejobchick), who paints a grim picture of employment prospects in nearly every sector. She believes that offshoring and outsourcing are the real culprits. We break down why AI isn’t the real culprit, how corporations game hiring systems, and why entry-level jobs now demand years of experience that don’t exist. This conversation exposes why the American dream is collapsing for young workers — and why politicians refuse to address it. I also address Trump’s handling of the Minnesota riots and immigration standoff, explaining how federal authority collapsed, why rioters got what they wanted, and how blue states are openly defying the federal enforcement. In some perverse way, we can learn a lot from blue states on how to fight back against a future Democrat president.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Is the Trump administration speaking loudly but carrying a white flag? I break down why conservatives are suffering all the political liabilities of the current presidency while reaping none of the policy benefits. From the failure to codify executive orders to the endorsement of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and failure to follow through on fighting sanctuary cities and rioters, we analyze why fake executive orders and threats are worse than doing nothing. I also dive deep into the real data behind the U.S. housing market. Contrary to the "supply shortage" narrative, Redfin data shows a record 47% more home sellers than buyers in December. I explain why high interest rates and inflationary spending — not a lack of homes — are crushing affordability and why the administration might secretly want to keep prices high. Plus, a look at the AI data center" crisis threatening the U.S. power grid at a time when the grid is teetering due to a very cold winter.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Gold and silver talk; political gaslighting walks. I’m joined today by Peter Schiff, the famed investor who predicted this day would come. As gold hits $5,000 and silver tops $100, Schiff warns that this is actually just the beginning, not the end, of their rise. In this explosive conversation, Peter Schiff explains why we are facing a currency crisis and how the dollar will lose its reserve currency status. He also explains why Bitcoin will never be like gold and how the stock market is actually crashing relative to gold. Moreover, we delve into the myth that deflation is a bad thing and how the government continues to fuel inflation but is losing control of the economy.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, I identify all the factors that have led to Trump’s logistical, legal, and public relations failure on deportation. He needed to focus on codifying his agenda in Congress, stripping the courts of jurisdiction, enshrining and encouraging state enforcement, using ships instead of planes for removals, and — most importantly — cut off the magnets so that illegal immigrants would return home on their own. Instead, Trump told ICE to lay off the non-criminal aliens. Also, Trump is now supporting spending bills that undo his entire agenda and actually increase spending on Biden’s policies — so much so that Democrats are celebrating his spending bills and are all voting for them. Finally, I discuss how Trump’s foreign policy is erratic, not America First, and is all about pleasing Qatar and Turkey. It’s not for the faint of heart, but it’s the unvarnished truth.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As we watch Democrats floor the gas pedal on communism in Virginia, it’s time to ask why we don’t have a single red-state trifecta that governs as vigorously as Democrats do on their issues. We’re joined by Texas state Rep. Brian Harrison (R), who exposes just how liberal the state party leadership is. Texas is being overrun by Islamic terror supporters and Antifa. Texas is facing a crisis from property taxes and data centers. State and local governments continue to promote liberal policies with taxpayer-funded lobbyists. Yet the legislature doesn’t even plan to convene! Why aren’t there more fighters like Harrison? Because we ignore the primaries. Meanwhile, the Texas speaker is running two liberal candidates against Harrison so he can consolidate support from the uniparty without people like Harrison trying to paint Texas red.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Why is beef so expensive — and why are independent ranchers being pushed to the brink? In today’s episode, I'm joined by rancher Cole Bolton of the Beef Initiative to expose the hidden drivers behind skyrocketing beef prices: corporate consolidation, government land-use decisions, and the rise of data centers gobbling up farmland and resources. I also explain how the globalists at Davos are engaging in a rope-a-dope to co-opt the listless populist Right and rebrand support for fossil fuels into the data center agenda. The data center agenda is all about placing our lives on the cloud so that we will own nothing and be surveilled 100% of the time. It’s time to put food over data centers and people and land over the cloud.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For five straight election cycles, Donald Trump has used his unmatched influence to shape Republican primaries, and it has been a disaster for the conservative movement. In this explosive episode, I break down how Trump’s pattern of endorsing corporatist incumbents, liberal Republicans, and establishment insiders has crippled efforts to pass real reforms on immigration, spending, judicial power, health care, and national sovereignty. Why do Republicans always claim they “don’t have the votes”? Why are conservative priorities never codified into law? Why do red states keep electing leaders who quietly advance the same failed policies? The answer is simple — bad endorsements cancel primaries, protect RINOs, and sabotage the base from within. I go through all of the key races for Senate and governor to show how, absent wholesale change, we will be left with no benefits of his tenure and only the liabilities unless he stays out of our primaries.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump’s presidency will fail unless he stops Antifa attacks on ICE, completes the deportation mission, and confronts judicial supremacy. I explain why time is running out. Trump is facing the defining test of his presidency. As Antifa violence directly targets ICE and federal agents, deportations grind to a halt — not just because of the streets, but because of the courts. I explain why half measures are the worst possible option. The administration has absorbed all the political costs of immigration enforcement, while achieving none of the results. From Antifa’s coordinated tactics to judges blocking executive authority, this isn’t just about immigration — it’s about whether elections still matter in America. Judicial supremacy is now overriding border enforcement, national security, and even the power of the presidency itself. If this continues, Trump’s term will end with all the liabilities and none of the benefits — and red-state America won’t be spared, either. Plus, I touch on why Trump’s health care plan also suffers from all the political liabilities with none of the policy benefits.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
