Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

We begin today’s season finale by discussing what went wrong at TPUSA’s gathering. Rather than focusing on the dozen existential threats we face and how the current GOP needs to be fixed, it devolved into a personality debate with people like Tucker Carlson simping for Islamists. We can’t succeed in a movement that has no coherent views and disagrees dramatically on key issues. This is also why it’s irresponsible to proclaim Vice President JD Vance as leader three years in advance, or to even focus on the presidential election before solving the fundamental problems with the GOP. Next, we’re joined by Sheikh Khalid Al-Hail, leader of the Qatar National Democratic Party, who has a stark and solemn warning for the American people. He explains how Qatar sits at the nexus of nearly all global terror finance, as well as Islamic radicalization in America. He explains how the Al Thani regime’s main goal is to purchase influence within every sphere of power in America, ironically to protect itself against moderate Muslim factions. In that sense, our own government is actually solely responsible for propping up the very entity spreading jihad throughout the world. And as Al-Hail explains, jihad is not just about the sword but about subversive propaganda that even non-Muslims like Tucker are propagating.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we engage in a broad and deep retrospective of the year in politics. I go through about a dozen political themes and trends that emerged from this year and will reverberate even more headed into 2026. The upshot is that we’re suffering all of the liabilities of Republicans being in charge but none of the benefits — at least not ones that will endure in the long run. I also review Trump’s speech last night and explain how it is gaslighting us on prosperity and security at home and peace abroad, when none of those things are true. The voters know it.  At the end, I explain how the AI data center grift is completely insolvent, only existent because of government, and how it is crowding out more effective resources. Finally if we don’t change course, our future is Australia.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We’ve never faced such a ubiquitous threat from Islamic terrorists, yet our government is still slow to recognize the source of the problem. I begin today by rounding up the latest news on recent terrorist attacks and analyzing the new Trump immigration moratorium as a mixed bag. Also, I’m increasingly concerned about the lack of strategy in Venezuela and Qatari involvement. We’re joined by former FBI whistleblower Steve Friend, who has a gut-wrenching message for us: The Trump/Patel FBI is not different from the Biden FBI. He describes how the bureau re-hired him only to humiliate him and then fire him again after leaking the news to the media. The FBI is continuing its same failed modus operandi of focusing on overly broad missions, prioritizing intelligence over police work, measuring success by arbitrary measures, and fostering the same climate of anarcho-tyranny we saw under Biden. Leaders are leaving in place the entire weaponized structure for the next Democrat president to turn loose on all of us, even as they continue to be grossly incompetent in contending with real security threats.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Qatar controls foreign policy, while Big Tech controls domestic policy. I begin with a roundup of the latest news on the terrorism front, a breakdown of the terrible stagflation numbers, and Ron DeSantis leading the fight against the AI slop agenda. Next, we’re joined by Miriam Eckenfels, who covers wireless technology issues for Children’s Health Defense, for a discussion about the FCC rule attempting to block states from regulating any placement of 5G and wireless infrastructure from the telecoms industry. Just as with data centers, the Trump administration is trying to build the infrastructure for both the surveillance state and the techno-feudalism that make us at one with harmful technology. Eckenfels demonstrates how this technology is not necessary for connectivity and rapid internet usage. At the same time, the high-frequency radio waves are so much more harmful, and the more they push everything toward 5G, the more the densification of the infrastructure will harm the quality of life of our neighborhoods as well as out health.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The juxtaposition of the administration's handling of the Syrian massacre of our troops with immigration from Syria in light of the Sydney terror attack is appalling. Today, I go through the details and policy outcomes that should flow from the deaths of Iowa Guardsmen at the hands of Jolani-allied thugs to show how our Syria policy is completely backward. Rather than pulling our troops out, banning Syrian immigration, and allowing Israel to take care of business, we are doubling down on serving as Qatar’s lapdog, continuing immigration from Syria and most Islamic countries, and hamstringing Israel from its much more effective effort on combatting terrorism emanating from Syria. At the end, I touch on Trump’s losing economic message promoting inflation and data centers and how the data-center agenda is actually harming the electronics market and crowding out more necessary and efficient technology investments.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Nic Hulscher, an epidemiologist at the McCullough Foundation, dives into the shocking findings of the Ford health study, revealing a 2.5-fold increase in chronic health conditions in vaccinated children. He highlights a staggering 549% rise in autism-associated neurodevelopmental disorders and a 54% elevation in childhood cancer rates among the vaccinated cohort. Hulscher discusses concerns about persistent vaccine DNA in the body and emphasizes the need for further research to ensure vaccine safety. A must-listen if you're interested in public health and vaccine debates!

As Republicans continue to get crushed in the polls, they are doubling down on denying inflation and denying the cost of data centers. I discuss how we continue to lose on account of policies and people who are actually antithetical to our values. Next, we’re joined by Reg Hislop, an economist and health care expert, to provide a plan and a vision on the most important economic and fiscal issue. He explains how Republicans continue to push a lukewarm hell plan by accepting the premise of Obamacare while assuming responsibility for it. We develop our ideal health care plan that would cut out the administrative bureaucracy, monopolies, and market distortions. Reg also weighs in on the Fed’s decision to cut interest rates and print more money to purchase Treasurys. He believes this will continue artificially directing money into ineffective AI projects that will create more inflation than productivity.    Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s time for us to jump from the hijacked plane of the Republican Party and parachute into a new party. Today, I ruminate over the infamous “Flight 93” essay of 2016 to show how that election was actually not the inflection moment. This one is. If conservatives do not evacuate from this terrible party, they will lose red states, communists will take over, and we won’t even have a chance to rebuild until at least 2029, after it’s too late. I also discuss how Republicans are suffering worse electoral reprisal from pushing Big Tech economic policy than they would have incurred by fulfilling the original promise to cut the debt and entitlements and rebalance the economy away from the Mag 7 companies to small business.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Generative AI and its accompanying data-center slop agenda are being completely fueled by the Trump administration. This is Warped Speed 2.0, where government shields a failed and dangerous endeavor from all market accountability. We’re joined today by cognitive scientist Gary Marcus, who is one of the foremost AI experts and an early critic of the “scaling” generative AI model. In a wide-ranging discussion, he explains how the hallucination problem endemic to this model was so easy to predict and why the tech companies are now choking on their own sophistry. We also delve into the unsustainable economic model and how the "but China" argument is a straw man. Not only is this model failing to enhance the human experience, but Marcus believes its modus operandi of disseminating “authoritative BS” is destroying the internet and rotting the brains of youngsters.  Learn more about your ad choices.

If conservatives remain trapped in the Trump-Vance GOP, they will continue to suffer all the liabilities of Big Tech venture socialism with all the political liabilities that will turn more voters into Democrats. We need a new party built upon natural living and natural markets to move away from the fake, asset-bubble economy championed by both parties, including Trump. Today, I vividly diagnose exactly how the government uses federal pensions, artificially low interest rates, public and private debt, and numerous regulatory policies to destroy the middle class and small business. The economy is analogous to an AI hallucination bubble that is like a self-licking ice-cream cone and continues to create monopolies. A new party, untethered from the GOP’s past, could crush the Democrats using this message and vision.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
