Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Bookmark today’s show for all your friends and relatives. I go through almost all of the critical ballot questions in numerous states and explain their importance and how conservatives should vote. This is where you can have the biggest impact on civilization issues that are often closely divided. I also go through some important state supreme court elections – both nonpartisan ones and retention ballots. It is shocking how there is nobody else focusing on these elections when they will determine whether we have a lifeboat or not if things don’t go our way at the presidential level.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin our discussion today by chronicling the House GOP’s final budget betrayal and Republicans' sophistry in fretting over a government shutdown. Next, we’re joined by Nate Hochman of America 2100, who has done on-the-ground interviews with community members of Charleroi, Pennsylvania. This is a small town in red America that has been overrun by Haitian illegal aliens. Nate explains how local business interests and unsavory GOP politicians have helped bring them in for cheap labor and turned the quaint town into a third world labor barracks at the expense of the locals. This is taking place all across America. We go through housing, transportation, schooling, and culture to show how towns like Charleroi are being overrun and transformed. Clearly, a lot of illegal activity and rule-breaking is occurring for these people to have settled in the town. There is a need for local Republican officials to use ordinances and zoning to stymie the invasion. Red states must use the criminal justice system to go after labor brokers who are engaging in human trafficking that leads to the resettlement of our towns.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, I deviate from our typical policy discussion to learn lessons from the collapse of Mark Robinson in North Carolina. The reason we can’t even get our foot in the door to win on policy is because the fake conservative movement has a massive image problem with voters. I pick at an uncomfortable scab ailing the Republican Party, which is rampant morality problems that harm Republicans' image with hypocrisy. I offer both the strategic and theological case for building a movement only around those who live the lives of conservatives. Moreover, we need to move away from picking candidates based on superficial factors, such as race or viral moments, rather than a consistent track record of effectively living and fighting for our objectives.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The clock is ticking. It’s not just that we have endless untapped political opportunities in red states. It’s that if we fail to utilize them, Democrats will eventually fill the vacuum, as we are seeing in Alaska, Georgia, and Arizona. I discuss as a case study the story of the Kentucky governor banning mental health counseling for kids suffering from gender dysphoria. This is able to happen in a state Trump carried by 30 points only because we have failed, and continue to fail, to place conservative ground game and education in states where voters broadly agree with us on the issues. I contrast this to Florida, where on issue after issue, DeSantis is utilizing power to destroy the Left. But even there, most Florida Republicans will go back to their old ways unless we elect a governor who is of the same caliber as DeSantis.   Learn more about your ad choices.

What’s worse – the government’s COVID data or crime data? We begin with a discussion about new monkeypox vaccines being dangerous. Also, we delve into the story of Alexis Lorenze, who faces life-threatening injuries from being forced to get three vaccines in order to get treatment for a serious illness. We must promote a bodily autonomy right against coerced medical procedures in every state. Next, we move on to crime data. We’re joined by my friend Sean Kennedy, executive director of the Coalition for Law, Order and Safety and expert on crime policy, to discuss all the ways the FBI has distorted the crime data to show a “historic” drop in crime. In fact, officials have changed the way they count, they use multiple methodologies, and there is so much missing data. This is proven by several parallel measures that indicate crime is either going up or coasting at high levels, depending on the category. We also discuss the appallingly low clearance rates for crimes and how, given the technology we have, it should be impossible for street thugs to evade law enforcement. Yet there is a political ideology pervading most political leaders that makes them pro-criminal. This is why they want to cover up the crime bubble, so they can absolve themselves of any responsibility to deter, apprehend, and incarcerate dangerous people.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, we celebrate Constitution Day and the system of government we once had but no longer do. However, what we still have in place are sovereign states. Today I make the legal argument for states to deter the border invasion. We’re joined by Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies, who proposes several innovative ideas for states to use their police powers to deter the invasion. She believes the key is to leverage criminal laws on employment, human trafficking, drugs, vagrancy, trespassing, and other relatively low-level crimes to threaten the illegal aliens with prison time but also offer them a ticket home to avoid that prison time. She also discusses the importance of enforcing employment and trafficking laws against labor brokers who staff businesses with illegal aliens, in addition to states clamping down on identity theft.  Learn more about your ad choices.

What Ryan Routh, the alleged assassin who tried to take out Trump, represents is a radicalization of the white, educated class of this country. I go through the Ukraine, COVID, and J6 frenzies to show how the Left has created a blood libel to delegitimize our rights and even green-light the suspension of our liberties … or lives. This is why we need to self-separate and create red enclaves that are just as emphatic about our beliefs as their areas, where the people are willing to die for their beliefs. Yet the majority of red counties are run by liberal Republicans. I discuss Springfield, Ohio, a Trump+23 county, where the local Republican officials are more bothered by the memes about illegal immigration than the illegal immigrants themselves. We must build a movement nationwide to populate local offices of red counties with actual conservatives. If we don’t do that, we will very soon face the stone-cold reality of every county being run by those with the worldview of Ryan Routh.   Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin today by comparing Florida to other red states to show how Florida is the only state where we have a governor using the personnel and levers of power to promote our values. In other states, weak Republicans have allowed judges and nonpartisan officers to essentially nullify the will of the legislature. This is all because Republicans have lost their biblical compass. On that note, we’re joined by BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey, who offers us a riveting diagnosis of the rotting conservative movement and the future of social conservatism. She explains how Republicans fail to speak to the morality and empathy of a policy issue, which is how the Left is able to needlessly peel off married women. This is the thesis of her upcoming book, "Toxic Empathy." We also discuss the fact that Republicans need to lose some of their stupid "woke Right" image that needlessly turns off voters, rather than ditching biblical values.   Learn more about your ad choices.

The Springfield story has the potential to galvanize a largely apathetic conservative electorate. Today, I make the case for red states to convene special sessions and pass several measures to deter illegal aliens from settling in our neighborhoods. If we can’t get Republicans to fight on an issue like this, it will be their moment of the Whigs with the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Nobody wants foreign invaders to take our stuff, so if Republicans can’t achieve anything with such political tailwinds, they will never accomplish anything for us on another issue.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Agree or disagree with me, we do debate analysis today in a way you will not hear anywhere else. There is no way to sugarcoat this, and we do nobody any favors by ignoring the reality and not preparing for the future. Trump was already behind and needed a big night. He needed to paint Harris as the incumbent, but instead he became his own worst enemy and made himself the incumbent. I go through each major point of the debate to show how Trump missed an opportunity and what he could easily have said instead. This is not to look backward but to prepare for the future. We need to rebuild our movement, preserve red states, and also turn out Republican voters in droves so that even if Harris wins, it won’t be a landslide reverberating down the ballot. The good news is that Harris could not defend a single radical position, which demonstrates an opening for the future. We must also ensure that on Nov. 6, we don’t move on to the next huckster but actually elevate conservative voices who have a record of effectively fight for us.  Learn more about your ad choices.
