Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

There are increasing calls to unify all factions of the Right. I’m not opposed to that sentiment, but we have to unify behind some affirmative vision beyond simply beating Democrats at the ballot box (but not on the policy playing field). I go through a list of existential threats to our civilization, from Islamism and rampant domestic terrorism to judicial supremacism, unaffordability, and a lack of credible conservative candidates in red states, and I show how there is zero vision on the Right. Moreover, while the Left continues to move its party toward communism in primaries, we have no plan to elect conservatives in primaries or even engage in them at all. So what is there to unify behind?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Left focuses on results while the online Right focuses on entertainment. This creates a dynamic in which Con Inc. prioritizes talking points over fixed policy objectives, which often leads to championing causes that are foreign to conservatives. Nowhere is this more evident than with the online Right championing the communist, pro-Islamist talking points on Gaza. It has now led to us getting embroiled in Gaza, promoting Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood, and ignoring their threat to our homeland and the influence of Islam spreading. My thesis is also evident with judicial supremacism, as Con Inc. spent years going to bat for a strong “independent” Supreme Court rather than staying principled and fighting the premise of judicial supremacism. Finally, I show a powerful dichotomy between left-wing activists who are willing to challenge their old incumbents vs. right-leaning activists who sleep during the primaries or support subversive candidates like Byron Donalds.   Learn more about your ad choices.

We’ve succeeded in pushing back against men encroaching on private female spaces, but now it’s time to interpose against governmental and feminist encroachment on male spaces. On today’s special show, we’re joined by Scott Yenor, professor of political science at Boise State and fellow at the Heritage Foundation, to discuss his call for returning military academies like the Virginia Military Institute to male-only education. Yenor traces the decline in male achievement as well as the social problems between the sexes to the creation of androgynous education goals foisted upon society by government. We lament how some conservatives who complain about transgenderism continue to adhere to the very feminist ideas, such as Title IX, that paved the road for today’s problems. Yenor believes we are witnessing a return to the creation of marriageable men and women among young conservatives, but that is a trend that needs to be led by leaders on the right who set worthy examples.     Learn more about your ad choices.

Never before have we built such a raucous movement inveighing against foreign influence, yet never before have we been infiltrated by more foreign influence than under Trump’s relationship with Qatar. Today, I delve into Trump’s decision to grant Qatar a facility in an Idaho air base as part of a train of favors to this terror-supporting country and in the context of the Gaza deal forced upon Israel. Next, I discuss a very disturbing lawsuit that Pam Bondi is pursuing against gun rights advocates in the Fifth Circuit. In our next installment of RINO Roundup, I go through the latest figures and policies of Republicans that are undermining MAGA’s stated agenda. Finally, I explain the how the sickening blood libel of Jewish control of America is not only false but dangerously misdirecting attention from the real influence of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is coming full circle in New York City – the city with the most Jews.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin today’s show with a roundup of news on Senate negotiations over the government shutdown, as well as the news of Trump deploying troops to Israel to promote aid for Islamic nutcases. Next, we’re joined by Brian Jacobson, an expert in training with AI LLMs, for a long discussion about the unsustainable pursuit of “artificial general intelligence.”   He explains how cloud-based AI chatbots are barely bringing in revenue and relying on Enron-style accounting to push a massive bubble without creating external revenue. He also debunks the talking points about data centers being the key to rivalling China and the notion that we are on the cusp of deploying new nuclear technology that can power this bubble. Finally, we discuss the difference between narrow-tailored AI, which is beneficial, profitable, and a useful pursuit, vs. artificial general intelligence, which relies on data centers and other painful “investments.” Brian also explains how we are nowhere near achieving AGI because God’s human brain invention is a lot more complicated than we even realize.   Learn more about your ad choices.

What is the one- to four-year game plan of the online Right other than clicks? I show how Democrats continue to crush Republicans in special elections, and yet we are not even dying on our own hills. I nostalgically look back to the 2013 Obamacare shutdown fight to contrast the two parties and to show how Democrats are united behind a message even when they have a losing hand to play. Republicans are on the cusp of losing on health care even when they have all three branches and the megaphone of Trump. Also, judicial supremacism continue to bog down every good Trump policy, with the SCOTUS ruling on nationwide injunctions proving to be a joke. I also offer some initial thoughts on the Gaza ceasefire and what to look for in the coming months.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In light of the courts now attempting to commandeer the National Guard, how much usurpation will be deemed too far by the Trump administration? When will the administration finally assert executive authority against the weaker judiciary as it does against the stronger Congress on a regular basis? I explain exactly why you can’t comply your way out of the problem by hoping to appoint better judges or waiting for the Supreme Court to get it right. Also, our economy is just as rigged as the judicial system. There is shocking news on the AI data center bubble that shows its entire grift is built on inflationary spending and financialization of the economy. What happens in a country where few have an economic future and there is no way to redress grievances through the political system?

There is a hip trend among the degenerate online "Right" to side with Gaza and the Muslim Brotherhood while blaming Israel for everything. They claim to want to rid ourselves of foreign influence, but they are the ones who are in fact corrupted by the worst forms of foreign influence. On today’s special episode with Middle East analyst Jordan Schachtel, we look at the Gaza war two years later and raise concerns about the Trump deal. The objective on the Right was to dial back our focus on the Middle East, but Qatari business interests and influence ops are actually getting us sucked in farther on behalf of the most radical Islamists. Hamas seems to always get a free pass to blow through deadlines. Jordan is also concerned about what this international peace force in Gaza will do and who will be on the ground. Arab influence continues to corrupt the conversation on the Right and create a circle of stupidity whereby people who claim Islam is incompatible with the West have no problem with its influence or even foreign aid to their prerogatives.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Thanks to Trump unifying the party and Democrat overreach, Republicans have surprisingly held strong on the shutdown. We first delve into a new, dangerous agreement to defend Qatar in case of war. At a time of global intifada being fomented by the Muslim Brotherhood, why is there no outcry about elevating Qatar to de facto NATO status? Next, we’re joined by Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus. He notes how Republicans have a chance to win not only the government shutdown fight but the Obamacare subsidy fight by countering the narrative on health care. Sadly, they are hampered by a lack of numbers in Congress, but Harris argues that the Freedom Caucus’ influence is growing. He says candidates are approaching the group a year in advance and pledging to join the merry band of conservative warriors.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The partial federal shutdown is a joke born out of nonsense, with both parties agreeing to keep our economy, society, and system of government shutdown. Today, I explain why our economy is shut down with Trump reneging on his promise to focus on the forgotten man and instead offering favors to Pfizer and Big Tech. Next, I focus on the shutdown of representative democracy, as the judicial power has never been greater and is undoing the good things Trump is at least attempting to pursue. We are also facing a shutdown of health care in America. I offer a plan for Republicans to rally around and shove down the throats of Democrats who have made the shutdown about health care.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
