Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

We begin with a free-for-all Friday rundown of the latest news stories about the terrible reconciliation bill, bad endorsements from Trump, and more signs of stagflation. The court decision against universal injunctions is one positive story, but there is a huge catch. Also, why is the new CDC director unquestionably defending mRNA shots? Why is this administration continuing the biomedical security state under the mantle of MAHA? Indeed, there is a difference between MAHA and the “medical freedom movement," like the difference between a sword and a shield. We’re joined by Hebrew University professor Josh Guetzkow, who just published a pre-print study of a massive population of pregnant women in Israel showing a shocking safety signal from the COVID shots. The COVID shots were associated with a significant increase in fetal deaths among pregnant women who received the shot during the first trimester. Josh discusses how his study is the most airtight to date and how this signal has been ignored until now. He also reviews his findings from two years ago on how the shots given to the public by Pfizer are not the ones studied in clinical trials, yet even the Trump administration continues to assert that they have been studied and properly approved.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin with some foreign policy news to show once again that the grifters were wrong about everything about the war. Plus, they don’t seem to be bothered by Trump’s waffling on Ukraine. Next, I discuss the bottom line about the reconciliation bill, how inflation is not being dealt with, and how the Trump administration is fundamentally misdiagnosing the housing problem. We’re joined by Kevin Freeman for an update on the transactional gold movement, the only functional solution to inflation. The movement is on the cusp of adding a fifth state to the list of those that have adopted transactional accounts into law. We discuss the next steps in expeditiously implementing the accounts. We need a solid comptroller in Texas (I’m supporting Don Huffines), and most importantly, Trump must issue an executive order exempting transactional gold from capital gains taxes. We must stay vigilant, because some banking interest will try to strangle this amazing idea at the executive and regulatory levels. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Americans are shocked watching New York City nominate an Islamist communist as the mayor of America’s largest city. I delve into the factors that led to this day and how red states must begin to fortify — otherwise they will be taken over too. That begins by electing leaders in primaries who take Florida’s model to the next level rather than typical do-nothing Republicans. Next, we’re joined by Florida state Sen. Jay Collins (R), fresh off his rescue mission that successfully evacuated 2,000 Americans from Israel. He describes the unique dangers and challenges of that mission and how the partnership between special operators and Florida’s best agency leaders accomplished what nobody else did. Collins explains how there is an entire generation of combat veterans who feel even more passionate about using their expertise to help Americans than they did fighting overseas. The way of the future is expanding on Florida’s model of partnering with charitable organizations and private experts to accomplish what other government cannot do. The tip of the spear is our veteran community.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin today by contrasting Trump’s style toward domestic policy and toward foreign policy. His instincts and trolling are a great asset with foreign policy, and we saw this embodied in his willingness to bomb Iran’s nuclear program. On the other hand, the flattery and lack of attention to details is killing us on so many domestic issues. He just wants a “deal” and a talking point. We’re joined later on by Lee Smith of Tablet magazine, who is very bullish on Trump’s overall performance in the Iran war. He believes the influencer army is irrelevant and losing the fight. He also believes many of them are simply motivated by Jew-hatred and valorizing stupidity. Smith believes that despite some of the rhetoric from today, we must all celebrate the overall mission as a smashing success.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The online Right is busy criticizing Trump for attacking Iran after the country is already extremely weak. I explain why these commentators continue to utilize false choices and straw-man arguments, a point JD Vance himself made last week. Israel is actually ensuring that we can pull out of the Middle East. The online Right should be more concerned about what Trump is doing domestically. The courts are mowing down every one of his agenda items, and he refuses to lean into the debate in Congress. Now, Republicans are using the Senate parliamentarian to claim they can’t put any good provisions in the one bill they plan to pass with 51 votes. I debunk the notion that the parliamentarian has the final say over anything.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How is it that the entirety of right-leaning media went from loving Israel to hating Israel at lightning speed? I explain how social media creates tunnel vision and precipitates a frenzy of self-confirmation of one’s niche business model whereby the business model drives the fact pattern rather than facts driving the social media brand. We cut through false choices and red herrings about what Israel means and doesn’t mean to America. Also, I explain how there have been numerous opportunities to cut off funding to and lobbying from terror-supporting nations, yet those who yell about foreign aid and influence seem to only care about one country, even as Trump offers new aid to Qatar. The time has come to cut off all foreign lobbying equally. Then again, the Twitter dimwits couldn’t care less about achieving the results of their mindless chatter because their mindless chatter is the result.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Contrary to Trump’s assertion that we need illegal alien farm workers, today I explain how they actually serve the business model of the cartels, bringing drug trafficking, crime, drunk driving, and cultural subversion into our most pristine rural counties. We’re joined by Jason Richwine,  a resident scholar at the Center for Immigration Studies, who blows up the myth that entire industries absolutely need foreign labor to function. We touch on economic arguments, but also cultural problems. This farm labor greed is destroying the social cohesion of many communities. He also explains the problem with Trump’s plans to expand foreign student university attendance and grant them green cards. Also, what’s up with the Trump Gold Cards? How do we know the recipients are not subversive people?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Bookmark today’s show as the Rosetta stone to understanding the hypocritical and feckless behavior of so much of the online Right. They might not influence the people, but they definitely influence the Trump White House. Today I explore why it is that they are lambasting Trump over a war that is under control and that they have suffered nothing for, but refuse to actually fight Trump on other betrayals that cut to the core of America First. The answer is that America First is just a slogan for their digital locker room where they create a self-licking ice cream cone of groupthink, demagoguery, and sophistry. So we get all the stupid and degeneracy, but never even achieve the stated objectives because they don’t believe their own talking points. It’s all a game. This is why, for example, they don’t care that the Florida attorney general just bucked a federal judge, nor will they demand that Trump do the same.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin by discussing the enigma of online influencers who supported many of Trump’s liberal policies, but then choose the one issue that is absolutely in the right to savage him. I explain how Trump’s first-term policy on ISIS is actually the perfect model of crushing an enemy in a way that speaks to the strength of the military without involving us in nation-building. Next, there is something going on in Israel that you all need to know about. While the federal government has no plan to evacuate Americans from the war zone, Florida is partnering with a group of veterans to get out thousands of trapped citizens. Florida state Senator Jay Collins (R) is leading the effort, and the heroism and self-sacrifice are mind-blowing.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On today’s special edition, I begin by offering my observations on the first three days of war between Israel and Iran. At some point, we need to restore the laws of just war fighting if we are going to defeat savages. We’re joined by Yoram Hazony live from Israel for an on-the-ground perspective, as well as thoughts on American and nationalist foreign policy in general. Yoram makes the case that both hyper-interventionists and the new “peace movement” suffer from the same illness of utopianism. True realists and nationalists understand inherent human evil and the need to keep it in check without trying to micromanage the world. To that end, Yoram makes the case for America following Reagan’s approach to the Falklands War with Britian and standing up Israel and a long-term bulwark in the region. This is not an exercise in dragging us into war, but quite the contrary: Standing up strong regional allies is the key to protecting our interests without being embroiled in every conflict. We also discuss the spiritual trend in Israel, as the society is becoming more religious than ever.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
