Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Since 2020, the Right in America has been singularly focused on one mission: re-electing Donald Trump. Now that we are on the cusp of possible victory, do we have a plan for "the day after"? Today, I offer an analysis of the state of the race, but more importantly, try to game out what comes next. I explain how we can’t make this personal about loving or hating one man, but about a relentless focus on arriving at specific outcomes. What are the realistic and unrealistic expectations by issue? I offer some opening thoughts. Also, there are many down-ballot issues and races at stake. We are facing a "use it or lose it" moment with power in red states.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Everyone thinks that our survival hinges upon the election results. Obviously, we don’t want Democrats, but let’s not kid ourselves into believing Republicans will do anything to forestall the financial collapse, unless we change the policies and personnel. First, I warn about some concerning figures on Trump’s transition team and how we need to be prepared as a movement to veto bad Cabinet picks. Next, I’m joined by Tracy Shuchart, an expert in financial and commodities markets, to discuss the unprecedented market signals we are observing. We go through all of the signals from the S&P, gold, Treasuries, and economic data to show how we are facing an intractable stagflation bomb with the likelihood of a credit and housing collapse. We prove how there is not a single viable policy on the table to prevent this. In the meantime, Tracy offers some investment advice. She is bullish on gold and silver and also points to at-risk metals as a possible emerging market to watch.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We need to seriously prepare a plan to hit the ground running if Trump does pull this one out. I raise some concerns about personnel choices, congressional leadership, and the upcoming lame-duck session. Trump must make it clear that Congress should not pass any transformational bills during the lame duck and that all disaster spending must be paid for with unspent funds from the Green New Deal. Next, I break down the tab for this past fiscal year to show how nobody has a plan to stop the deficit-driven inflation from exploding in the next year — and that Republicans will own all the carnage. So why not start building a plan now? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We have a very soft movement that is not willing to power through disruptions in order to pursue good policy. This is true across the board, but particularly on the issue of illegal immigration. I explain how illegal immigration would end overnight if Republicans were willing to go after labor brokers and actually enforce employment laws. The problem is that the Left, through an amalgamation of fiscal, cultural, and immigration policies, has created a self-fulfilling prophecy of Americans not wanting to do construction jobs. Republicans must be willing to power through a temporary disruption by removing illegal aliens, raising wages, and fixing our broken education and welfare incentives. Conservatives need to lead by example. No policy change will happen on its own, and the election will be moot if we don’t build a movement willing to message and implement through adversity.   Learn more about your ad choices.

The discussion challenges the notion that society suffers from excessive femininity, arguing instead that a lack of femininity among women is problematic. It critiques modern feminism's influence and its role in promoting masculine traits over nurturing qualities. The podcast navigates gender dynamics, exposing the dissatisfaction stemming from societal expectations and the evolution of gender roles. It emphasizes the cultural dangers of this imbalance and the importance of traditional femininity for both individual and societal health.

The FBI has now revised the crime statistics to reflect reality. I explain how Republicans have missed an entire decade of messaging and policy opportunities to win back suburban voters on the crime issue. Instead, they pushed jailbreak and bailed out Democrats from their own radical policies foisted upon them by their quixotically unreasonable base. Next, we’re joined by Seth Dillon, CEO of the Babylon Bee. He explains how the Bee is aiming not only to evoke laughter but also to powerfully use the weapon of satire to deconstruct the absurd prevailing narratives in politics and culture. We also discuss the concerns about the growing “woke Right,” which is becoming as mindless as the woke Left. He promises to continue illustrating that absurdity as well with some satirical pieces. Finally, we discuss his activism as a Floridian in fighting Amendment 4, which will kill thousands of babies. He might run a satire company, but he is actually being more effective than most conservatives who claim to be serious thought leaders.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin today’s discussion by observing the budding of a national divorce in Western North Carolina. It’s become abundantly clear that the feds are not really interested in helping, nor are the people interested in accepting the help. We are headed toward red state self-sufficiency, and this effort will be led by veterans. To that end, we’re joined by retired Marine Colonel Mark Thieme, who is now executive director of the new Florida State Guard. He explains the need for the Guard and all of the lifesaving work they have done during natural disasters, as well as missions in North Carolina and at the Texas border. Unmoored from bureaucracy and from any federal control, Thieme is able to recruit talented people with the desire to serve and efficiently utilize their skills for maritime and aviation operations, reconnaissance, and search and rescue to augment the other state agencies. They are light and nimble to focus on the need of the hour. They have gotten so many recruits that they already had to turn away people. The Florida Guard has also been a landing place for veterans who left the service but still want to protect Americans without dealing with woke politics. Are state guards the wave of the future and also the ultimate fulfillment of our Founders’ vision of state-based militias? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As the election nears, the spotlight turns to inflation and immigration, two pressing issues that demand urgent attention. The speaker argues that current political promises could worsen these problems, with dire implications for the economy. There’s a call for realistic strategies to address demographic shifts, particularly in conservative areas facing rapid changes. The impact on local communities like Logansport is significant, with challenges in schools and services becoming more pronounced. A plan is crucial to ensure that red America doesn't transform into blue America.

Joining the discussion are Joe Bastardi, a veteran meteorologist with deep expertise in weather forecasting, and Ron DeSantis, the Governor of Florida. They explore the natural patterns behind this active hurricane season, debunking the myth that human actions trigger these disasters. Bastardi emphasizes the importance of humility in understanding weather phenomena, while both guests criticize the politicization of natural events. They advocate for independent thought and a fact-based approach to climate change, urging clarity over sensationalism.

It’s deja vu. Remember how Republicans promised to repeal Obamacare and then actually preserved it? Well, unless we mobilize against the Green New Deal now, Republicans will not repeal the heart of the green energy subsidies. I warn that the oil and gas industry is already lobbying to preserve the grift and only repeal the tax increases and some regulations. We go through the irrevocable harm that will flow from such a move, the proper strategy and messaging behind full repeal, and the need to pass a repeal bill through budget reconciliation as the first major agenda item. I also explain how we are suffering a stagflation and personal debt crisis, and nobody in the GOP seems to have a forward-looking plan on how to deal with it. Learn more about your ad choices.
