Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Last night, there were two electoral trends. In the Texas state House races, an unprecedented 17 incumbents were either defeated or drawn into runoffs. On the other hand, elsewhere in Texas and around the country, we saw a pretty generic pro-incumbent result. What gives? We’re joined today by Wade Miller, executive director of Citizens for Renewing America and longtime Texas grassroots activist, who interprets the results for us. He notes that we benefited from a perfect storm of well-placed candidates, the Paxton impeachment, and endorsements from Trump and Abbott on the side of the grassroots that was enough to create a sea change. This could happen elsewhere if we only tried to replicate it. However, in many states, that will require us to push more of a convention model for primaries. Either way, the lesson of Super Tuesday is that we get exactly what we fight for and no more. We will not change the party or the country on its own by being lazy and apathetic or getting drugged by “hopium.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In fact, the Colorado ruling is nothing compared to how the non-Thomas/Alito judges are screwing us on issue after issue. I discuss some new cases that fit into a pattern of Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett eagerly taking up left-wing appeals from good lower court rulings while ignoring right-leaning appeals from bad lower court rulings. Be very afraid of the Supreme Court screwing us over on woke issues in red states, as well as state-based enforcement. I make the case for why MAGA should have demanded the speaker affirm in the budget bill the right of states to enforce immigration law. Also, I provide a preview for Super Tuesday primaries to watch for. Unfortunately, Trump has screwed us on so many endorsements but refuses to help us when we need him most, even against never-Trump candidates and even when good incumbents are being targeted by McCarthy.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This is the week we will be sold out on the budget. I explain how east it would be to win a funding fight over inflation and the border, but alas, conservative media couldn’t care less. Later on, we’re joined by Joseph Humire, executive director of the Center for a Secure Free Society and one of the foremost experts on Latin American affairs, who warns that Biden has let in the fastest-growing, most dangerous transnational gang. Humire warns that Tren de Aragua thrives on sex trafficking, retail theft, violence, and delegitimizing of law enforcement. The gang destroyed so many Latin American countries and now is doing the same thing inside the U.S. He gives us a spellbinding presentation on how the Biden administration has imported every element that has taken down Latin America and is now doing the bidding of both the Venezuelan government and the Iranian government. In this respect, Tren de Aragua is worse than MS-13 because it is a conduit for a terrorist government actor.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We talk about the GOP establishment in the abstract, we talk about the border in the abstract, we talk about inflation in the abstract, we talk about FBI weaponization in the abstract, but when the ball is actually in play in real time to affect the ultimate outcomes on those issues in vivid, specific ways, not only are we MIA, but while our own heroes, aka Trump, are scoring touchdowns for the other side, we are cheering them on. Today, I explain how Trump is gratuitously endorsing every RINO we try to defeat because McCarthy and Johnson call in airstrikes. It’s also how Johnson is able to get away with selling us out on the budget and how red-state RINO governors are able to use Trump to avoid pressure to pass good legislation. I have no problem with people voting for Trump, especially against Biden, but I do have a problem with those who refuse to pressure him to the right or at least help fight on the issues and primaries where Trump is harming us. I challenge people like that to explain how they hope to achieve their own stated goals with Trump carpet-bombing any effective way to actualize those stated objectives. Or is this all just one big vanity grift? Also, I give the details of how the House and Senate GOP deviously screwed us yesterday and have now funded the Fourth Reich indefinitely, even as our government has grabbed our very own Steve Baker in a way that would make Putin blush.  Learn more about your ad choices.

So many conservatives are happy about McConnell retiring and the news about the Supreme Court taking up Trump’s case. I explain why both of those issues are a distraction and will not necessarily end well for us. The real story of the day is the final budget betrayal of the House GOP taking place today. We’re joined by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) who explains that not only are Republicans scared more of a government shutdown than of losing the country, but they downright support more spending and funding for Ukraine. Also, this is the first time when Republicans are not only funding the status quo bad policies but also giving away $70 billion in non-defense spending cuts that they get for free. At the end of the day, the GOP leaders are a reflection of the rank-and-file members, and they are a reflections of the ADHD of conservative media that elevates soap operas and distractions over actually achieving results – both in primaries and policy outcomes.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, I explain why we are completely lost at the federal level, with Republicans selling us out at the most critical time when it would be so easy to fight on the immigration issue. Our only hope is to create a Noah’s Ark in red states; however, Western states like Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho are run by leftist Republicans. We’re joined today by Utah state Rep. Phil Lyman, who is running against Gov. Spencer Cox in the upcoming gubernatorial primary. Phil served time in jail 10 years ago for standing up against the federal land-grab in Utah. He is passionate about making Utah sovereign from the federal land-grab, which will never happen under the leadership of Spencer Cox. We also discuss the uniqueness of Utah Republicans and the influence of the Mormon Church on political issues. Phil believes most Republicans in Utah are ready to ditch the Romney worldview and take a more biblical approach to compassion in public policy rather than the liberal pagan approach pushed by some of the liberal voices in the church.  Learn more about your ad choices.

When you juxtapose the sheer volume of foreigners with radically different cultures to the nonexistent birth rate among natives, it is incontrovertibly clear that we are being replaced. Today, I give you numerous data points showing that the great transformation of America is already immutable in large swaths of the country. Also, the violence we are seeing from Venezuela is stemming from prison gangs being imported. Tren de Aragua poses the greatest threat to our streets since MS-13. Finally, I analyze a new report on the shocking percentage of American women who will never get married.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today, I make the case for why Laken Riley’s murder allegedly by Venezuelan criminal should be our George Floyd moment. This means that we use the budget deadline to push a shutdown of the border and use state deportations. I give the data and messaging that a sane party and movement would use during a shutdown fight to illustrate the pervasive threat of illegal alien crime. I offer data I gathered myself demonstrating how illegal aliens have long punched above their weight in terms of criminality, yet it goes underreported. The frightening thing is that this wave of illegal aliens is qualitatively worse than ever before because so many of them are tied to prison gangs. If conservatives can’t stay focused with such a policy opportunity as we have this week, then we should close up shop. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Nothing embodies the ailing state of conservatism more than Senator Tuberville (R-Ala.) praising Jenner at CPAC while referring to him as Caitlyn and with female pronouns. I use this absurdity to pick at the broader problem: Conservatives have bought into the “trans-lite” agenda for decades, long before transgender de jure took hold. Conservatives have gone along with gender-bending that has destroyed femininity in this country for years. We wonder why so many young women are radical, confused, and suffering mental illness – even short of full-blown gender dysphoria. However, it’s the result of grooming women to act and be like men in all aspects of life. I identify this war on femininity as the antecedent to most social and family problems we have in Western civilization. It’s not enough just to oppose men in female sports. We need to fight the entire notion of women as “men lite.” This begins in our own families, communities, and churches.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hint: The Left doesn’t need a confab of teenyboppers and useless rhetoric because the Left actually has a campaign, political, policy, and legal movement on the ground in all 50 states working on every issue that matters. This is what we need to replicate rather than useless conferences. Today, I demonstrate what a conservative version of a real CPAC would look like, as we focus on the issues that matter in the way they matter. I explain how I would go about fighting for a government shutdown in the budget bill on key winning issues. I also show how we can use some of the latest news on the vaccines to finally defund them. Also, there is more RINO red-state news to report, sadly, because we have no movement in place to focus on the broad principles we complain about when the strategic leverage points that will affect their outcomes actually present themselves.   Learn more about your ad choices.
