Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

The Trump administration has staked all its capital on pushing data centers for companies that power AI chatbots. We juxtapose this effort to the weak sauce on many other economic policies to show how the promises to stand for the common man are not being fulfilled. We’re joined by Dr. Mitch Prinstein, chief of psychology at the American Psychological Association, who warns against a moratorium on state-based AI regulations. Dr. Prinstein shares thoughts from his riveting congressional testimony on the generational harms being caused to children from the sycophantic nature of chatbots supplanting human interactions. The harms are voluminous, and the need for guardrails is undeniable. We discuss how the very tech companies that broke the internet by transforming it into a data-mining and psychological manipulation tool are now being given free rein to exacerbate every existing mental health crisis among children. He ends by offering a list of ideas for states to pursue, ideas that other countries are already pursuing, as our government focuses only on the Big Tech companies. Learn more about your ad choices.

This is the nightmare scenario: incurring all the policy and political liabilities of GOP control while all the initial promises — from the DOGE and health care reform to immigration restriction and American jobs — are disintegrating. One of the big reasons why we are failing on immigration is because we refuse to fight the premise of judicial supremacism. We’re joined today by Mat Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel, for a discussion about recent egregious court cases shredding our biblical and constitutional values. Mat is defending a mother in Maine after a state court ordered her daughter, at the behest of the girl’s father, to divest from all contact with church or religious material. Mat also discusses how even the conservative judges are extremely political and refused to overturn Obergefell in the Kim Davis case. He believes that states need to force the issue by directly contradicting Obergefell in the same way they did with abortion. Finally, we discuss how the only authority of courts comes from the respect of the people and the other branches. If we are to believe that every decision is the unquestionable "law of the land," then there is no way to dig our way out of this tyranny. You cannot comply your way out of judicial supremacism.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

There is a new trend for GOP officials like JD Vance to blame the failures on the GOP of the past while artfully ignoring that they have the power to change things right now. In fact, Trump and his circle have been in power for five consecutive election cycles and own all of the down-ballot endorsements and policies. They keep dredging up Mike Pence, George Bush, and David French as bogeymen, but when you look carefully, they are ensuring that the same policies continue under our banner without receiving the blame. Through this thesis, I take you through the latest news on data centers, immigration, foreign policy, and the courts to show how the very people who fail us get to live another day by deflecting the blame onto those out of power.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The opposite of globalism is localism. Trump is now working with Big Tech and foreign adversaries to crush conservative rural America with data centers. Trump wants to use DOJ resources to sue states protecting landowners. This is the most devastating form of globalism. Even crazier is the fact that Democrats are now outflanking him and harnessing a populist message on behalf of landowners and the average Joe by tying Trump corruption to his Big Tech policies driving up costs. They are even starting to outflank him on foreign worker visas. The well-fed Right knows he is a problem but is too cowardly to effectively fight him. Meanwhile, rightists are starting the cycle all over again by drowning out debate and a potential primary in order to promote JD Vance, who has the same problematic policies on Big Tech.  We close by focusing on foreign policy and how Trump’s obsession with Qatar and Gaza is also more about family business ties than ideology — quintessential globalism if we’ve ever seen it.

Today, we go back to the basics of Russell Kirk and what conservatism means in this generation. We are constantly being entreated to a false choice based on reactionary politics and mistakes of others in the past to guide us into new decrepit ideas that are antithetical to conservatism and just further empower the Left. We’re joined by the queen of conservative talk radio, Dana Loesch, for a deep discussion on the state of conservatism on the Right … or the lack thereof. She discusses how much of the Right has devolved into political OnlyFans and is exploiting the angst of young people to move away from conservatism and the principles of the Enlightenment, when in fact what got us into this mess was the exact opposite of those beliefs. In her fiery message to young conservatives, Dana warns against snake-oil salesmen exploiting angst over feminism to push anti-women propaganda.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin by discussing the renewed effort in Congress to ban states from implementing any regulations of AI or data centers. Also Trump is working with Saudi Arabia to own our AI infrastructure. It is shocking to watch the priorities of Republicans at a time when we could be expending our capital on things we actually believe in. Next we’re joined by Tim Estes, 25-year AI founder and CEO, who is working to steer AI toward enhancing the human experience rather than supplanting it. He warns that the current tech companies working on data center buildout are mimicking the worst elements of the China-centralized surveillance state without copying their aversion to addicting a generation of children to what he calls “digital narcotics.” In a riveting interview, Estes lays out two paths for AI that will determine whether we fix the internet that broke a generation of children or whether we engage in digital child sacrifice.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Even though real conservatism is being misrepresented in right-leaning media, we are all going to get blamed for the impending economic collapse. However, it’s not as if Trump is even fighting for our causes. He has made it clear that his priorities are AI, crypto, tokenization, and family business interests. This has bled over into foreign policy, where we are now serving as Qatar’s female dog, with the latest example being Trump cozying up to Syria. We also delve into the failures on immigration policy to make a dent in Biden’s invasion population. Finally, the AI agenda is even creepier than you thought. If we don’t place regulatory guardrails on these tech oligarchs, they will surveil every aspect of our lives while placing mental rotgut into every aspect of kids' lives, including their teddy bears.     Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin with an overview of how the president’s original message on behalf of the "forgotten American" has been turned on its head in Orwellian fashion. Now we are facing an electoral wipeout, but not on account of fulfilling the original promise. It is instead because of unpopular policies that are antithetical to it and in concert with the Big Tech oligarchs. We’re joined by Kiley Blalock, a crop farmer in Henry County, Indiana, who is fighting a data center project planned on an adjacent property. She gives us a glimpse into the secrecy, bullying, and buyouts being employed by anonymous fronts for the Mag 7 companies as they seek special favors to transform farming communities into dystopian landscapes for AI slop. They are engaging in a psychological war of divide and conquer to sow discord in close-knit communities. The tech giants are also employing a rural version of block-busting to slash and burn the utility of these communities as part of a self-fulfilling policy so that they become fit only for their parochial interests and not for farming or rural living.

We begin by noting that the same way Obamacare stifled choice and competition in health care, Trump’s ridiculous endorsements are stifling our ability to get better candidates and run competitive primaries. Next, we’re joined by cattle rancher Breeauna Sagdal of the Beef Initiative to discuss a Manhattan Project plan to reinvest in America’s independent ranchers and farmers. We don’t need subsidies and handouts. She highlights all of the ways government policies are locking up grazing lands and hay stockpiles, which drives up the cost of ranching. She also warns that property taxes and inheritance taxes are shoveling farms out the door to corporations that are tied to foreign interests. Meanwhile, our government continues to push the tokenization of natural assets, which ties into EID and the AI agenda. We are either with food and humans or tokenization and the fake world of transhumanism. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After 10 years of MAGA, where is our red-state bench? The online Right is slowly realizing that the emperor is wearing no clothes. We’re stuck with all of the liberal policies and unpopular antics of Trump but few of the benefits. Now we’re saddled with a terrible economy with no vision because we’ve spent 10 years destroying a bench of high-level conservatives in red states. Now red states are going purple. We’re joined today by Utah state Rep. Trevor Lee (R) to discuss how a generation of liberal Republicans gave rise to liberal judges who have now handed Democrats a free congressional seat in Utah. We discuss the mechanics of how Utah RINOs give Democrats a foothold in the state through lousy electoral policies and then the Left, in turn, uses the ballot initiative process and the courts to change the state. This is a growing problem in many red states that if left unchecked will result in many of them becoming the next Colorado.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Headed into Veterans Day, not only did President Trump wine and dine the Syrian al-Qaeda leader, but he has announced the forging of a relationship that includes establishing a U.S. base in Damascus. I warn about the dangers of this realignment and how it is all coming from Qatar. Trump revealed so much folly during his interview with Laura Ingraham that is encapsulated by his candid remark in support of Chinese foreign students as, “I view it as a business.” Sadly, that explains his support for Qatar, data centers, crypto grift, and focus on the stock market more than Main Street and small business. At the end, I share some news on the AI data-center front to demonstrate how it is the most dangerous and riskiest grift of all time.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin by showing how Democrats will win in the long run on the government shutdown, even though it looks like they are capitulating this week.  Plus, the Supreme Court’s refusal to overturn Obergefell shows that even the GOP appointees are hopelessly political. Next, we’re joined by mortgage finance expert Melody Wright, who explains why Trump’s plan to create a 50-year mortgage not only is debt slavery but will continue to fuel the housing crisis. In fact, Wright explains how the entire history of the 30-year mortgage was a folly. We actually need to return to the exact opposite dynamic: shorter mortgages, less debt, and less government involvement, which will allow home ownership to become affordable for the median income with shorter-term debt. She also warns that the AI data-center bubble is not only unsustainable but a ruse to prop up the economy.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I fear that the entire political Right is going to waste its focus on redistricting and ending the filibuster in the hopes of changing the trajectory.  While I don’t oppose either proposition, neither of them will actually change the outcome of the election, because we have slept through primaries for years. We simply don’t have enough conservatives to win a national election or accomplish good things even if Republicans gain a tenuous majority. What we need to do is focus on red-state governor elections. We begin that process today by interviewing Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), a Freedom Caucus congressman running for governor in South Carolina. He is promising to go to war with the establishment Republicans and bring an entire new approach to the state. He will focus on broad quality-of-life issues rather than handing the state over to crony corporations under the false pretense of economic development. Finally, in that vein, I delve into the effort of BlackRock and Blackstone to purchase public utilities and work with data centers to strip us of our energy independence. If we don’t elect people like Norman in red states, we will lose our red-state land and infrastructure to the globalist networks.      Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Well, well, well. That didn’t take long. OpenAI’s leadership hinted yesterday at what we all know: namely, that the company's financing model is unsustainable and its leaders are expecting government to bail them out. I explain how their entire enterprise is not built upon the free market, so all of its economic and social consequences are not in line with the benefits we’ve reaped from legitimate technological revolutions. Unfortunately, the Trump administration continues to deny the economic problems while making data centers the centerpiece of its mission. I explain how and why we could crush the Left if we divorced from Big Tech. Finally, I express concerns about JD Vance’s “aristopopulism,” which mixes the worst elements of elitism and populism rather than the benefits of each.    Learn more about your ad choices.

Last night’s election results, capping an uninterrupted stream of Democrat victories down-ballot since 2017, lay bare for us the results of having an industry while Democrats enjoy a movement. We have no money, no ground game, no candidate recruitment, and, most importantly, no economic message. I cast a wide net in the analysis of where things are headed electorally and how we will never win by lying to people about inflation. Virginia Democrats were able to run on cost of living, crime, and drugs — issues we should own by a mile but have ceded because of a lack of ideological coherence on the Right. One thing is clear: Today’s show is an analysis you will not hear anywhere else.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin by discussing President Trump’s call to end the filibuster and under which circumstances it would make sense to do so. Next, as we watch Islamists gain more control over our politics, we need a plan to counterattack against the Muslim Brotherhood influence and creeping Sharia. We’re joined today by Chris Holton of the Center for Security Policy, who has been fighting to keep Sharia law out of our courts. He is focused on red-state initiatives to ensure that Sharia law is banned from family court and that when Islamic practices conflict with American law, they are not recognized. We also discuss the need for state attorneys general to gather evidence tying the major Islamic organizations building mosques and community infrastructure to terror finance so that we can finally dismantle their illicit networks funding subversion in the country.

We are beleaguered and besieged by communists on the Left, Islamists, third-world migration, and then institutional Republicans who help facilitate it while pretending to fight it. The divide used to be between the grassroots and K Street. But now reactionaries who claim to oppose all of this but then add their own fascist nonsense to the mix of vices we face are ensuring that no legitimate right-wing movement with a soul, mind, and heart can arise to redress our problems. Today, I discuss how algorithmic prostitutes are distracting from the real civil war on the Right with corporatist special interests and making everything about Israel and the Jews. Towards the end, I discuss problems with use of federal land for AI data centers rather than food and how AI is all about escapism rather than creating solutions and progress. Interestingly, AI chatbots are a lot like the online Right.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Since Oct. 7, I’ve barely focused on anything related to Israel, and instead we’ve covered dozens of critical fiscal, social, land-use, security, and immigration-related issues that are at the core of the America First agenda. Yet what we are seeing today is a low-IQ, debauched movement that is distracting us at the highest levels with daily obsessions not just about Israel but about Jews. My concern is not so much the hatred but the dumbing down of a movement to the point that we will never effectively fight for all of our universally stated objectives. In that vein, I debunk all the straw-man arguments being used to not only defend but promote people like Tucker Qatarlson. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The top voices on the so-called Right continue to distract us with fake conspiracies under the guise of "just asking questions." They do this because it generates controversy and a strong following. However, what we really need is a movement built around providing answers to the vexing questions on the critical issues of our time — fiscal, social, demographic. I show an example of what such articulation looks like with Gov. DeSantis announcing a ban on H-1B visas at Florida universities. We could easily appeal to even moderates with a message on crime and data centers that few Republicans are offering. The other two big issues that are going to lose us the country and the election are inflation and the courts. We need more statesmen to deal with these issues, not TikTokers.

It’s time to reclaim deterrence and punishment against growing street violence. We’re joined today by crime expert Rafael Mangual, fellow at the Manhattan Institute, for a broad discussion on the multiple factors driving repeat, violent offenders to continue their crime sprees. After identifying the factors behind the revolving door, Mangual offers a list of ideas to harden the system, including tying the hands of liberal judges with mandatory sentencing, algorithmic assessment for pretrial bail, and rethinking the entire culture of leniency with juveniles. We also discuss the need to build more insane asylums and to adjust the degrees of criminal offenses to comport with the threat level to our communities by creating a points system for a modified “three-strikes” law.  Learn more about your ad choices.
