Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Last decade, we all recognized that Democrats produced fighters and that Republican corporatists were no match for them. But after today’s show, you will learn how we’ve actually gone backward in the era of Trump and social media. I go through the news of the day, primary elections, and Trump’s liberal positions on several new issues and contrast them to Democrat consistency and ferocity in pursuit of their goals. Some of the political tourist influencers on the Right project their own vanity on the Left when they think the Left is in disarray because of divisions. However, Democrat divisions are actually a sign of vibrancy fighting for definitive end goals, while our side is united because there are no core beliefs left on the Right.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin the show expressing concern about Trump’s opposition to a new reconciliation bill at a time when we need to codify so many of his policies into law. One of those big policies is agriculture reform. We’re joined today by Breeauna Sagdal, an independent rancher and policy fellow with the Beef Initiative, who outlines for us the multifront war on ranchers and farmers and all of the government policies that have created centralized control for a monopoly. This has caused a record low availability of beef, health concerns with the quality of the meat, and a lack of choice and competition. Moreover, she explains how conservation policies, farm bills, and misallocation of land and resources to row crops have harmed our food security for natural proteins and fruits and vegetables. Now that Trump is committed to importing beef from Argentina, Sagdal argues that we’d be better off importing the Angus genes so we can bolster ranchers’ cattle rather than competing with their output.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Follow the money. The two big focuses of the Trump administration this week are bailing out Argentinian farmers and doing the bidding of Qatar in the Middle East. They are both related to donors and businesses interests. Today, I offer the definitive case against our involvement in this utopian peace process with Hamas, Qatar, and Turkey. Kushner and Witkoff are not only bought out by Arab interests, they have adopted this communist dogma about Islam being peaceful so long as we offer the Middle East more economic opportunities. Meanwhile, we are getting sucked into every conflict in the world under the guise of bringing peace, which makes us the very global policeman we were trying to avoid.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We need to build a red-state insurance policy. I explain how we are losing America in terms of economy, security from Islam, and foreign policy, even under GOP control. Despite Hamas’ repeated violations of the ceasefire, we continue to expend more time and treasure promoting the welfare of Gaza and restraining Israel. Also, Con Inc. is becoming a "white-pill mechanism" to tamp down the angst of the Republican voters so that they avoid seeking solutions outside the party or in primaries. Next, we’re joined by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), who discusses why he is running for Texas attorney general. We go through the security threats to Texas: street crime from Soros prosecutors, illegal immigrants, Sharia law, and communist terrorism. The state AG stands at the nexus of enforcement against all that is destroying the state. Chip feels that we need red-state AGs to push the envelope on behalf of the people when the land and people of red states are threatened rather than getting caught up in legal sophistry.

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
