Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

It doesn’t have to be this way. Today, I demonstrate how Republicans can easily win on the border issue and crime, as well as Iran and terrorism. Biden’s policies are deeply unpopular on all these fronts, yet Republicans lack any effective messaging or strategy to even slow the destructive policies. In addition, Republicans could easily win the economic war with a message of abundance vs. scarcity, as we see that even Biden voters feel the economic pain. Finally, I bring on our next candidate running for Congress. Victor Avila is a former ICE agent who was almost killed by the Zetas Cartel, and now he is running against RINO Tony Gonzales in TX-23, the largest border district in the country. He reminds us that part of why the Republicans have failed to capitalize on public support for shutting down the border invasion is due to Republicans like Gonzales. Learn more about your ad choices.

I’m not seeing any strategy to even win general elections, much less focus on legislative sessions or primaries. All we hear about is how Republicans are winning in the polls, even as they continue to lose any election. For those continuing to put their eggs in the basket of polls showing Trump ahead, I go back in time to review the average of all the polls headed into the 2022 elections. In every single instance, Republicans underperformed the polls by 4-6 points, and it made all the difference. There was one exception, of course. In Florida, all the candidates overperformed, but the movement rejected DeSantis outright … for reasons. We are out of time and need solutions to things like Iranian spies in the administration, the destruction of the American automobile, and a growing pro-Hamas immigrant community unraveling our country.

We are the new Pilgrims – homeless souls without a country that represents us but with no new land to discover and settle. On this anniversary of the Mayflower Compact, I observe that we must reconstitute red-state America if we have any hope of living free, but we must first recognize that what we are doing is not working. We’re joined by a man who has offered a blueprint for revitalizing red-state America. Adam Morgan is the chairman of the South Carolina Freedom Caucus and is now running for federal office against William Timmons. He discusses how he has created a new paradigm within the South Carolina Republican Party and how he hopes to do the same thing at the federal level. We cannot afford to sleep through primaries like this. Take yes for an answer, and support those who try to change the system. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It might be a quiet week elsewhere, but today we tackle so many important issues of our time. Despite the fact that we have thoroughly exposed the Left on so many critical issues and even have the support of the majority of Americans on those issues, the Left continues to win on policy outcomes. Why? Because we don’t demand outcomes of our leaders. We satiate ourselves on sound bites — which is why everyone is so excited by the new Argentinian leader but ignores Ron DeSantis right here at home who has already accomplished those ideals. Without someone like DeSantis, we will continue the current paradigm of feasting off “exposing” the Left while the Left continues to succeed. We lack leaders with a vision to articulate, execute, implement, and secure the outcome. Finally, I warn about judicial supremacism being a huge obstacle for securing outcomes even if we achieve a political revolution in red states.  Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s tempting to just give up and ignore politics altogether, but you can’t ignore anarchy and tyranny. It will find us if we don’t come up with a plan to fortify red islands that are sanctuaries from both anarchy and tyranny. I discuss some of the latest stories of anarchy, how there is no right to self-defense any more, and how juvenile crime is making major cities unlivable. Then we focus on the tyranny aspect with Steve Friend, a former FBI agent who became a whistleblower about the weaponization of the agency against conservatives. Friend warns that the FBI continues to get worse as Republicans fail to deter the agency on a single issue. He feels as if his personal sacrifice was wasted by grandstanding Republicans who wanted nothing more than sound bites but will not follow his policy ideas. He also makes the case for why the GOP should allow the FISA 702 law to expire at the end of the year. Sadly, most Republicans still support it. Finally, he talks about the need for red states to erect barriers to FBI tyranny that will make it too costly for the bureau to target us as it is doing now.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We can’t just be an “anti” reactionary-style movement; we must also pursue affirmative good and objective truth. I discuss the false dichotomy in right-wing media between neocons and groypers and how we cannot allow our politics to devolve into European-style Bolsheviks vs. Mensheviks. I offer an affirmative vision for actually accomplishing things in legislatures and tease out my top five priority ideas. First and foremost, we must get ballot initiatives passed to secure bodily autonomy. In that vein, we delve into some of the latest research showing how destructive the vaccines are to people’s long-term health, yet because we don’t have an effective movement, we have made zero progress on the vaccine front. Finally, I’m joined by my buddy Rick Green of Patriot Academy, who invites us to join him on Dec. 18 for the best four-day handgun training in America. It’s not enough to believe in self-defense; we must actually prepare and practice it.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Is all hope lost for the West? We’re joined on today’s special show by Israeli political theorist Yoram Hazony, a leader in the national conservatism movement, to update us on Israel as the canary in the coal mine. He warns that the pro-Hamas insurrections we are seeing throughout the West are a continuation of the 2020 Floyd riots, promulgated by the same neo-Marxists seeking to eradicate all political opponents who stand in opposition. We are facing a vicious and intolerant Left that Hazony believes will try to use violence to subvert the 2024 elections. Yoram also updates us on the progress of the war and speaks about the need for Israel to renegotiate its defense agreement with the U.S. so that it becomes more independent from State Department pressure. Finally, he believes that the tragedy in Israel has moved his people toward repentance, such that even the political Left has had an awakening. Is such an awakening possible in America?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How do we ensure that America doesn’t become like Europe? The only solution is for red states to stand up against subversive and illegal immigration to protect the common-cause values of their residents. The horrific story of an Israeli peace activist butchered by Arabs is a stark warning of what we are confronted with in the West – paying for the rope to hang ourselves. To illustrate how this is done, I’m joined by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, who updates us on her effort to pressure the feds to follow the law and deport Hamas-supporting foreign students. She discusses all the ways the Biden administration is violating immigration law and how she is fighting in the courts to invalidate Biden’s phantom visa programs. Moody makes the legal and moral case for states to reclaim the authority to deport illegal and subversive foreign nationals who pose a danger to the state.  Learn more about your ad choices.

I hate to say, “See, I told you so,” but here we are, worse off with Speaker Johnson than even with McCarthy. I delve into the depth and breadth of the budget betrayal and how it demonstrates that nothing has changed within the party. Nothing has changed not just since the change in speaker but since the supposed Trump revolution in 2016. It’s all an optical illusion. The party is worse than it has ever been, and we will never advance our cause in this party. We’re also joined by Chip Roy (R-Texas), who warns that Republicans’ unwillingness to fight now will not change at the next deadline. He plans to fight the budget bill in the Rules Committee, but does he have enough support? Finally, as federal Republicans betray us, it’s not like the red states are any better. Where does that leave us?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this time of unrest and ubiquitous Hamas rampaging, now is the time to expand the Second Amendment and the right to self-defense. We’re joined on this special episode by Erich Pratt of Gun Owners of America, who gives us a "state of the union" on gun issues in America. We tackle everything from Biden and Trump gun control measures to momentum in the courts against those laws, fighting blue-state laws, and standing for self-defense laws in red states. Eric urges us to learn the lessons of Israel’s lack of gun rights that led to the slaughter of civilians. We also explore how to take the Second Amendment to the next level by returning to the days of state-sanctioned local militias that are well armed and trained. Erich goes through the history from our founding through the civil rights era on how organized militias were the first line of defense against local and external unrest. I also have a message for Veterans Day on the need to honor those who serve by not putting them into Islamic meat-grinders.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
