Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

We all railed against the artificially created asset bubbles that have destroyed affordability and upward mobility. Yet every policy Republicans seem to pursue has doubled down on those same factors. I do a quick roundup of economic news and news on data centers to show how we are pouring lighter fluid on a raging dumpster fire of an economy that Republicans claim is a “golden era.” We’re joined by Melody Wright, a housing and mortgage expert, who is warning of the imminent collapse of the housing market. She explains unequivocally how the housing crisis is absolutely not the result of a supply issue, and in fact, the opposite is true. It was created by debt slavery induced by government incentives and interventions. We also tie in the housing crisis to the AI data centers to show how they continue to inflate bubbles and crush landowners rather than allowing the economy to reset.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The Minnesota trans-identifying shooter is part of a dangerous trend of psychosis among those pumped with chemical castration drugs. Conservatives must use this opportunity to ban all forms of castration, not just for children but for adults as well. At the same time, we must remember that transgenderism flows directly from Obergefell and the false concept of a same-sex marriage. We’re joined by Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel, who believes his client, Kim Davis, is on the cusp of forcing the Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell. We discuss the legal case for overturning the decision and why anyone who voted for the Dobbs opinion is bound to reverse this decision because Obergefell is even more legally indefensible than Roe v. Wade. We also discuss the need to build political momentum in the states and expose the travesty of same-sex adoptions so that we don’t make the same mistakes we did with Dobbs — winning the legal fight while losing the political fight in the states.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Republicans got crushed in another deep-red district special election. They will continue to lose so long as they have no plan, vision, and message on how to bring down prices. The biggest cost to our national debt inflation and the individual pocketbook is health care. Republicans have lacked a vision on this issue for more than a decade. We’re joined today by Brian Blase, president of the Paragon Health Institute, who is trying to provide that vision. He warns that there is a bipartisan effort to renew the Biden COVID credits that incentivize more fraud and grift in the medical insurance industry, create more inflationary debt, and disincentivize bringing down costs. We cover the gambit of health care problems and conservative solutions throughout the discussion. The bottom line is that Republicans need a vision on bringing down costs, busting up monopolies, and fostering choice and competition.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin today with a discussion of why the flag-burning issue is irrelevant at a time of economic collapse and shaky immigration policies. Trump has an opportunity to harness an auspicious economic message by getting rid of foreign worker and student visas, yet he is calling for more of the worst sorts of visas from the worst countries. We’re joined by R.J. Hauman, founder of the National Immigration Center for Enforcement, for a state of the union on immigration enforcement. He expresses concern that too much of the DHS funding has gone toward “deportation theater” rather than creating a durable and efficient long-term deportation system. We also touch on the fact that lobbyists and special interests have a stranglehold on the administration and GOP and continue to push endless foreign workers at a time when it is so unpopular.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin today by pointing out how the very right-wingers we used to count on to fight against globalist monopolies, such as taking equity in Intel and promoting data centers, are now standing down because they rely on one man for political viability. Next, we’re joined by South Dakota rancher Amanda Radke, who discusses the multifront war on ranchers by wind, solar, carbon capture, and data centers. Politicians like South Dakota Rep. Dusty Johnson (R) are trying to pass special favors for carbon capture and data centers. Not only are these propositions harmful in their own right, but as Amanda explains, they are taking critical farmland out of production. She paints a picture of what a true free-market land-use and agriculture policy looks like and how we need to end massive subsidies for big corporations that box out independent ranchers.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The podcast dives into the detrimental impact of big tech data centers on rural America, highlighting how they've become a major issue neglected by local communities and politicians. It critiques the environmental destruction and minimal job creation despite lavish tax incentives offered to tech giants. A journey through the beautiful but struggling Tucker County, West Virginia, reveals the stark contrast between natural beauty and technological dystopia. The discussion emphasizes the urgent need for community advocacy against the ongoing expansion and its socio-economic challenges.

 Today, we replay our extra-long July Fourth show, with a fresh introduction that makes it more relevant today than last month. I tie in the lessons and ideals of the founding fathers to the time we are living in today. Weaving together the final thoughts on the budget reconciliation bill and judicial tyranny, I demonstrate how MAGA Inc. is subverting its own stated beliefs because it’s easier to declare victory on false hope rather than actually fight for results. As I predicted, the Supreme Court ruling on universal injunctions did nothing to stop the judicial tyranny. I list six reasons why that ruling was subversive. Yet MAGA leaders continue to perpetuate the myth of judicial supremacism in the Constitution when it flies in the face of the entire principle we celebrate on July Fourth. We need to have a plan. MAGA Inc.’s plan is to grift on social media off fake victories. It is incumbent upon us to formulate a real plan — if not federally, at least in a few states. Learn more about your ad choices.

We’re joined on today’s special show by Craig Shapiro, a macroeconomic and investment strategist who is willing to call balls and strikes on political economy. He discusses Trump’s campaign message and promise to rebalance our K-shaped economy to work more for Main Street. He shows how each thing this administration is doing is designed to benefit Big Tech and cronies over the forgotten man and small businesses. He also explains how the asymmetric economy has allowed us to avoid an official recession for years while most people continue to struggle in a silent depression. We cover everything from housing and inflation to credit and political economy. It is a very sobering conversation but one we need to hear if we want to avoid a complete socialist takeover in the next few elections. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A bigger concern than redistricting to eke out a few more seats in the hopeless federal uniparty fake fight is to actually make red states red. Today, I show a powerful contrast between Florida and every other red state in terms of executive enforcement of conservative policies. We’re joined today by Noah Wall, president and founder of the State Leadership Initiative, who is focused on ridding red states of liberal agency heads and bureaucrats. He has published a report about over 20 national associations of state agency directors that set woke policies for red states and brainwash a lot of red-state agency heads into implementing blue-state policies. Wall is on a mission to make red states red again by withdrawing from these groups and establishing parallel associations that build a base of effective leaders to implement conservative policies in each state agency.

Trump’s decision to highlight the D.C. crime bubble and deploy the National Guard provides him with a chance to actually bring back Reagan’s views on crime. Sadly, Republicans have bought into the jailbreak agenda that is responsible for this crime wave. Today, I focus particularly on the problem of juvenile crime and the lack of deterrent. We’re joined by crime expert Sean Kennedy, who explains how urban police departments like D.C. are downgrading and not recording crimes, thereby allowing public data to show a drop in crime, which conflicts with the reality on the streets. He explains how well-funded “right-leaning” groups take Soros cash to push weak-on-crime laws in red states while feigning outrage over Soros prosecutors pushing the same policies. Finally, I offer over a dozen ideas for red states to get tougher on crime.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
