Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

For years, all we got with Republicans was the promise of “the lesser of two evils.” Meanwhile, things always get worse, and now Republicans can’t even win any more because the voters sense a lack of sincerity. There has to be a point when we finally pull the plug on “vote Republican no matter what.” In my view, that line has been drawn in the Utah gubernatorial race. We’re joined by Utah state Rep. Phil Lyman, who is challenging Gov. Spencer Cox as a write-in candidate during the general election. Lyman makes the case for why this situation is different. He believes that he is the rightful nominee after having won the convention. He describes the web of corruption surrounding the players and the process through which Cox gathered signatures. He also shows how Cox is so liberal that it would actually be worse for him to win than the Democrat. This is something we must keep in mind for the future in other states, if we ever hope to finally break out of the vicious cycle of uniparty failure theater.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We need to diversify our political investments just like we would financial investments. We need to understand the limitations of Trump to even win, much less change things, as well as our limited ability to alter the outcome of the presidential election at an individual level. However, when it comes to red state local and statewide races, we can accomplish so much more. I also explain why I’m supporting Phil Lyman’s write-in campaign for governor of Utah against Spencer Cox. In that vein, we’re joined by New Hampshire state rep. Emily Phillips who got elected as a school board member fighting mask mandates and is now challenging a RINO state senator. She explains why her election embodies both the opportunities and challenges conservatives face in making red state legislatures red. They are truing to shield members from having to take tough votes and her entire mission is to force them to take those tough votes. She also shows how RINOs are so shameless and have no fear of God that they are willing to lie about conservative challengers and paint them as the liberal. It was so bad that Emily’s opponent, a mask supporter, photoshopped a picture of her with a mask to try to make her out to be a COVID freak when in fact she was the local champion against mask mandates.   Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin by discussing the need for conservatives to focus on down-ballot races and other important action items that will determine whether we preserve red-state America regardless of what occurs at the top of the ballot. We’re joined today by James Uthmeier, chief of staff to Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is running the Florida Freedom Fund to prevent Florida from becoming California. He warns that Amendment 4 is the most radical abortion initiative in the country. It will codify abortion until birth with zero parental notification and no ability of the legislature to regulate any aspect of the procedure, health care provider, or clinic. The Left is using egregiously deceptive language to vote on poll-tested talking points rather than genuine lawmaking. This is why we must restrict the initiative petition process to preserve Red America. Likewise, James warns that Amendment 3 is the most open-ended marijuana legalization that will make it free to use in every corner of the state – public and private – and will result in turning the state into California. He notes that if conservatives only got on the playing field, we’d easily beat back both amendments.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Right now Trump is not winning because the focus is not on the critical issues. Today, I paint a vivid picture of how Republicans can make the entire buildup to early voting about the cost of living, but especially about terrorists, murderers, rapists, gangsters, and fentanyl traffickers flooding our communities. If Trump were to ask Speaker Johnson to convene a special session of Congress during the Democrat convention, Trump could give a speech about the border on the steps of the Capitol. I provide an endless litany of stories and data about the Harris administration releasing the worst bad actors of foreign countries into our communities. I also explain how Republicans can easily message the cost-of-living issue. Despite fallacious economic data from the government, 59% believe we are currently in a recession. If Trump loses this election, he has nobody to blame but himself.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today, I issue a clarion warning that unless Trump ups his game and we craft a better message, Harris will win, possibly overwhelmingly. I provide an analysis of how Trump woefully underperformed in suburbs even of small to mid-sized cities in red states in 2020. I go state by state to show how it wasn’t just a question of cheating in blue states that made the difference. Trump underwhelmed his 2016 support across the board, which shows that he has lost critical voters he needs to win a national election. Unless there is a plan to get those voters back, we are basically going into November throwing away this election, along with a number of down-ballot races. It’s better to have this discussion now than in October.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin today with a discussion of Trump’s press conference. It embodied his floundering in terms of both policy and electoral viability. The campaign badly needs a shake-up if Trump hopes to win. His refusal to even commit to opposing abortion through birth in Florida is also stupefying. Next, we’re joined by Texas family doctor Kat Lindley, president of the Global Health Project, who gives us a briefing on bird flu. She warns that global governments are building all of the ingredients for COVID 2.0: use of emergency authorities, gain-of-function research, sudden emergence of mRNA vaccines, and countermeasures that harm freedom and the economy. It’s eerie how similar the playbook is to COVID. In particular, she warns that they are attacking the food supply. We must pass laws in states banning gain-of-function research and also tightening regulations on labeling mRNA in the food supply.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin today by pointing out that Trump is not acting like he wants to win this election. Commensurate with how much you believe this is a must-win election is your obligation to demand a course correction on this campaign. Next, we’re joined by Tracy Shuchart, a financial and commodities expert, to do a deep dive on our economic health. We cover everything from the recent yen crisis and electric vehicle grift to the Federal Reserve stupidity and predicting where the economy will head in the next few months. Tracy notes that because America is the “cleanest of the dirty shirts,” the Fed might be able to continue its Ponzi scheme of artificially inflating the market to the benefit of those who already have a lot of capital, but the average consumer is now facing permanent stagflation. Ultimately, we need to move away from a command economy, cut spending, and abolish the Fed, but there is zero appetite in either party to do what it will take.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin today’s discussion with a review of the Missouri primaries and how we will continue to lose the big primaries until we change to caucuses and conventions. We badly need new Republicans to make red states red so we can implement big ideas. Perhaps the most important idea is from BlazeTV host Kevin Freeman, author of "Pirate Money." He is building a movement in the legislatures not only to make gold and silver legal tender but to make it practical and functional for today’s digital dollar transactions. His plan will direct the state to create gold-backed savings and checking accounts such that consumers can pay vendors with debit cards in dollars but have the account backed by gold. He also thinks we should add silver to the mix too. Kevin explains how this is the single most viable plan to pull the rug out from under the communism at the federal level, make red states strong, and use your money as a bulwark against tyranny.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Dems are willing to please their base even when it means risking electoral viability; will republicans and Trump fight for their base when it also happens to improve their electoral chances? Today, I explain that Democrats picked Tim Walz because they are confident they can still win, so they felt it was worth pleasing their base. But how come we don’t have a Tim Walz in every red state? There is also no excuse for Republicans to lose this election. I explain how they can easily message things on immigration, national security, and inflation. Finally, I warn that Republican governors and congressmen from red states have embraced the Green New Deal and plan to block its repeal.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Everyone is on edge because the stock market is crashing, but let’s not forget that the stock market is all fake. The real economy has already crashed as a result of the Great Reset. The record consumer debt, anemic job growth outside government sectors, and public debt have created an unprecedented collapse that will intensify regardless of which fake numbers are posted at the Nasdaq every day. The difference between this crash and the others is that the feds completely lost control over their “debt arson” and do not have enough fire extinguishers to put out the fire as they did in 2008. Trump must make it clear that House Republicans should not bail out a single sector. Let them crash the way Main Street has since 2020. Next, I discuss the political aspects of the financial crisis. Republicans are assuming a collapse will help Trump, but I argue that they are failing to learn the lessons of the 2022 blue wave. We will not save ourselves politically or policy-wise unless we change course and focus on what matters.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
