Description
In Washington, politicians are full of half-truths and hot air. They do little more than grandstanding by spouting off talking points and spin. The Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz is here to help you cut through the rhetoric and noise and explore the politically right way to think about the issues .

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.

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.

2The 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.

Why is it that right-leaning influencers and elected officials continue to adopt so many ideas foreign to conservatism? Today, I go through some principles of conservatism from Russell Kirk to show how today’s reactionary performers on the Right are leading us astray. Nowhere is this more evident than with those throwing out all principles about never negotiating with terrorists. The administration’s ties to Qatar are getting worse by the day. Ironically, after two decades of nation-building on behalf of Arabs, we are like the dog returning to its vomit and are engaged in the worst form of nation-building for Gaza. I also lambast Republicans for supporting special favors for AI data centers at a time when AI is proving to be a brain cancer when used for most of its public commercial use, such as chatbots.

If only we had a real government shutdown. During the supposed shutdown, we have seen the formulation of several terrible economic and foreign policies. I begin with some bad news about this administration’s coddling of Islamic figures. Next, we move on to the economy. We all complained throughout the Biden administration that we had a crony economy that only worked for a handful of tech companies and that a centrally controlled economy left hardworking Americans in the dust. We complained about stagflation under Biden and asserted that government reports were fraudulent. Well, what has changed? We’re joined today by Tracy Shuchart, senior economist at NinjaTrader, who offers a fiscal checkup of our economy and shows how the stagflation is worse than ever. She offers analysis of capital markets, banking, commodities, and precious metals so we can navigate the limited investment options in an era of mob boss government control of our economy. Both parties complain about stagflation, but in reality, both parties support the underlying causes and they both deny it exists when their guy is in power.

Last decade, we all recognized that Democrats produced fighters and that Republican corporatists were no match for them. But after today’s show, you will learn how we’ve actually gone backward in the era of Trump and social media. I go through the news of the day, primary elections, and Trump’s liberal positions on several new issues and contrast them to Democrat consistency and ferocity in pursuit of their goals. Some of the political tourist influencers on the Right project their own vanity on the Left when they think the Left is in disarray because of divisions. However, Democrat divisions are actually a sign of vibrancy fighting for definitive end goals, while our side is united because there are no core beliefs left on the Right.

We begin the show expressing concern about Trump’s opposition to a new reconciliation bill at a time when we need to codify so many of his policies into law. One of those big policies is agriculture reform. We’re joined today by Breeauna Sagdal, an independent rancher and policy fellow with the Beef Initiative, who outlines for us the multifront war on ranchers and farmers and all of the government policies that have created centralized control for a monopoly. This has caused a record low availability of beef, health concerns with the quality of the meat, and a lack of choice and competition. Moreover, she explains how conservation policies, farm bills, and misallocation of land and resources to row crops have harmed our food security for natural proteins and fruits and vegetables. Now that Trump is committed to importing beef from Argentina, Sagdal argues that we’d be better off importing the Angus genes so we can bolster ranchers’ cattle rather than competing with their output.

Follow the money. The two big focuses of the Trump administration this week are bailing out Argentinian farmers and doing the bidding of Qatar in the Middle East. They are both related to donors and businesses interests. Today, I offer the definitive case against our involvement in this utopian peace process with Hamas, Qatar, and Turkey. Kushner and Witkoff are not only bought out by Arab interests, they have adopted this communist dogma about Islam being peaceful so long as we offer the Middle East more economic opportunities. Meanwhile, we are getting sucked into every conflict in the world under the guise of bringing peace, which makes us the very global policeman we were trying to avoid.

We need to build a red-state insurance policy. I explain how we are losing America in terms of economy, security from Islam, and foreign policy, even under GOP control. Despite Hamas’ repeated violations of the ceasefire, we continue to expend more time and treasure promoting the welfare of Gaza and restraining Israel. Also, Con Inc. is becoming a "white-pill mechanism" to tamp down the angst of the Republican voters so that they avoid seeking solutions outside the party or in primaries. Next, we’re joined by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), who discusses why he is running for Texas attorney general. We go through the security threats to Texas: street crime from Soros prosecutors, illegal immigrants, Sharia law, and communist terrorism. The state AG stands at the nexus of enforcement against all that is destroying the state. Chip feels that we need red-state AGs to push the envelope on behalf of the people when the land and people of red states are threatened rather than getting caught up in legal sophistry.

There are increasing calls to unify all factions of the Right. I’m not opposed to that sentiment, but we have to unify behind some affirmative vision beyond simply beating Democrats at the ballot box (but not on the policy playing field). I go through a list of existential threats to our civilization, from Islamism and rampant domestic terrorism to judicial supremacism, unaffordability, and a lack of credible conservative candidates in red states, and I show how there is zero vision on the Right. Moreover, while the Left continues to move its party toward communism in primaries, we have no plan to elect conservatives in primaries or even engage in them at all. So what is there to unify behind?

The Left focuses on results while the online Right focuses on entertainment. This creates a dynamic in which Con Inc. prioritizes talking points over fixed policy objectives, which often leads to championing causes that are foreign to conservatives. Nowhere is this more evident than with the online Right championing the communist, pro-Islamist talking points on Gaza. It has now led to us getting embroiled in Gaza, promoting Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood, and ignoring their threat to our homeland and the influence of Islam spreading. My thesis is also evident with judicial supremacism, as Con Inc. spent years going to bat for a strong “independent” Supreme Court rather than staying principled and fighting the premise of judicial supremacism. Finally, I show a powerful dichotomy between left-wing activists who are willing to challenge their old incumbents vs. right-leaning activists who sleep during the primaries or support subversive candidates like Byron Donalds.

We’ve succeeded in pushing back against men encroaching on private female spaces, but now it’s time to interpose against governmental and feminist encroachment on male spaces. On today’s special show, we’re joined by Scott Yenor, professor of political science at Boise State and fellow at the Heritage Foundation, to discuss his call for returning military academies like the Virginia Military Institute to male-only education. Yenor traces the decline in male achievement as well as the social problems between the sexes to the creation of androgynous education goals foisted upon society by government. We lament how some conservatives who complain about transgenderism continue to adhere to the very feminist ideas, such as Title IX, that paved the road for today’s problems. Yenor believes we are witnessing a return to the creation of marriageable men and women among young conservatives, but that is a trend that needs to be led by leaders on the right who set worthy examples.

Never before have we built such a raucous movement inveighing against foreign influence, yet never before have we been infiltrated by more foreign influence than under Trump’s relationship with Qatar. Today, I delve into Trump’s decision to grant Qatar a facility in an Idaho air base as part of a train of favors to this terror-supporting country and in the context of the Gaza deal forced upon Israel. Next, I discuss a very disturbing lawsuit that Pam Bondi is pursuing against gun rights advocates in the Fifth Circuit. In our next installment of RINO Roundup, I go through the latest figures and policies of Republicans that are undermining MAGA’s stated agenda. Finally, I explain the how the sickening blood libel of Jewish control of America is not only false but dangerously misdirecting attention from the real influence of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is coming full circle in New York City – the city with the most Jews.

We begin today’s show with a roundup of news on Senate negotiations over the government shutdown, as well as the news of Trump deploying troops to Israel to promote aid for Islamic nutcases. Next, we’re joined by Brian Jacobson, an expert in training with AI LLMs, for a long discussion about the unsustainable pursuit of “artificial general intelligence.” He explains how cloud-based AI chatbots are barely bringing in revenue and relying on Enron-style accounting to push a massive bubble without creating external revenue. He also debunks the talking points about data centers being the key to rivalling China and the notion that we are on the cusp of deploying new nuclear technology that can power this bubble. Finally, we discuss the difference between narrow-tailored AI, which is beneficial, profitable, and a useful pursuit, vs. artificial general intelligence, which relies on data centers and other painful “investments.” Brian also explains how we are nowhere near achieving AGI because God’s human brain invention is a lot more complicated than we even realize.

What is the one- to four-year game plan of the online Right other than clicks? I show how Democrats continue to crush Republicans in special elections, and yet we are not even dying on our own hills. I nostalgically look back to the 2013 Obamacare shutdown fight to contrast the two parties and to show how Democrats are united behind a message even when they have a losing hand to play. Republicans are on the cusp of losing on health care even when they have all three branches and the megaphone of Trump. Also, judicial supremacism continue to bog down every good Trump policy, with the SCOTUS ruling on nationwide injunctions proving to be a joke. I also offer some initial thoughts on the Gaza ceasefire and what to look for in the coming months.

In light of the courts now attempting to commandeer the National Guard, how much usurpation will be deemed too far by the Trump administration? When will the administration finally assert executive authority against the weaker judiciary as it does against the stronger Congress on a regular basis? I explain exactly why you can’t comply your way out of the problem by hoping to appoint better judges or waiting for the Supreme Court to get it right. Also, our economy is just as rigged as the judicial system. There is shocking news on the AI data center bubble that shows its entire grift is built on inflationary spending and financialization of the economy. What happens in a country where few have an economic future and there is no way to redress grievances through the political system?

There is a hip trend among the degenerate online "Right" to side with Gaza and the Muslim Brotherhood while blaming Israel for everything. They claim to want to rid ourselves of foreign influence, but they are the ones who are in fact corrupted by the worst forms of foreign influence. On today’s special episode with Middle East analyst Jordan Schachtel, we look at the Gaza war two years later and raise concerns about the Trump deal. The objective on the Right was to dial back our focus on the Middle East, but Qatari business interests and influence ops are actually getting us sucked in farther on behalf of the most radical Islamists. Hamas seems to always get a free pass to blow through deadlines. Jordan is also concerned about what this international peace force in Gaza will do and who will be on the ground. Arab influence continues to corrupt the conversation on the Right and create a circle of stupidity whereby people who claim Islam is incompatible with the West have no problem with its influence or even foreign aid to their prerogatives.

Thanks to Trump unifying the party and Democrat overreach, Republicans have surprisingly held strong on the shutdown. We first delve into a new, dangerous agreement to defend Qatar in case of war. At a time of global intifada being fomented by the Muslim Brotherhood, why is there no outcry about elevating Qatar to de facto NATO status? Next, we’re joined by Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus. He notes how Republicans have a chance to win not only the government shutdown fight but the Obamacare subsidy fight by countering the narrative on health care. Sadly, they are hampered by a lack of numbers in Congress, but Harris argues that the Freedom Caucus’ influence is growing. He says candidates are approaching the group a year in advance and pledging to join the merry band of conservative warriors.

The partial federal shutdown is a joke born out of nonsense, with both parties agreeing to keep our economy, society, and system of government shutdown. Today, I explain why our economy is shut down with Trump reneging on his promise to focus on the forgotten man and instead offering favors to Pfizer and Big Tech. Next, I focus on the shutdown of representative democracy, as the judicial power has never been greater and is undoing the good things Trump is at least attempting to pursue. We are also facing a shutdown of health care in America. I offer a plan for Republicans to rally around and shove down the throats of Democrats who have made the shutdown about health care.

It's all bought and paid for. Tucker loses his fox newz gig and goes independent as his new character Tucker Quatarlson suddenly appears? Good clip from over 2 decades ago of Carlson critiquing Buchanan. How the worm turns. Candice somehow suddenly became a broken person going "independent"? You predicted well over a decade ago that Republicans would become a useless, wandering, center left European style worthless political body under the center left leadership of Mr Trump. You were correct.
You do realise that Mr. Trump has always been a center-left aligned dimocrat since before he started eyeing the presidency in the late 80's. Could this fact have something to do with the 1990's moderate center-left milquetoast policies and messaging he presents today. Of course the mentally-ill delusional #AOCSandyFromTheHood bundle of twigs, wing of the marxist-dimocrat party see him differently. But in their eyes, the best Democrat President of the prior century, JFK, is a natzee fashest.
What did you expect? His politics is that of a center leftist at best. You failed to mention that he has breached the one taboo that even the hard left marxist-dimocrats like 0biden wouldn't touch. Although 0bama hijacked 15% of the then US economy through 0bamacaresless, he would deny it. The center left Trump has reached past these weak marxist and is seizing the means of production via gubmit equity stakes. Not even via the standard US political method via regulatory and crony schemes.
This!
@45:20 No kings, sounds like hundreds of petty tyrant kings.
@42:45 integrity
Well observed, contemplated, and presented. When the party apparatus is operated by center leftists at best. the rino review of clickservative grifters is what you get.
You just wait and see. The #criminalinvader islamofascist-communist riots will cease immediately upon dimocrats seizing the reigns of gubmit power once again. Like clockwerk!
How many coal fired power plants, to power their growth, has China put online this year while we're not doing any and just dinking around subsiding unreliable intermittent "renewables"?
@2:50 I'm not sure he wouldn't snip them off himself, if one of these black robed tyrants compelled him to do so under the guise of it being deemed Constitutional and all.
Please don't allow guest to go unadmonished in using poor phraseology in messaging. Leftists and liberals should never be conflated. They are two entirely different beasts. Improperly identifying the species correctly, leads to corrupting the ability to correctly message at a future point. Words have meaning. There is absolutely nothing liberal within a leftist.
dimocrats shutting down gubmit to champion hard working taxslaves being robbed to fund #criminalinvader #Healthcare is bumper sticker messaging that is quick for the electorate to consume. Yes there's much more detail to work through, but the window of opportunity to dismantle one of the most fascistic laws ever created in the history of this great nation will quickly pass. Remember a worthwile journey must start with the first step.
Great information!
"rino round" up is a good segment. Perhaps this could be a 2-5 minute segment daily to inform listeners on what the subversive weak republicans and strong dimocrats masquerading as republicans are doing around the nation in the state houses and federally to destroy the republic.
Good podcast, good guest! Con-Inc. is indeed involved whether obvious or not. Like the #LeftWingLegacyMedia what Con-Inc. ignores is more important than the flashy object they distract you towards.
Good show, great guest! I always enjoy hearing from the ones that despaired through yet another failed experiment!
Yes, the republican party moved left of 1990 dimocrats. You are correct that it is a useless Center Left European style party full of controlled theatre kids feigning opposition while in full retreat on policy.
Agreed, decent red state AG's need to identify and thoroughly vet ALL #Transtifa participants and loose affiliates for federal referral of 'hate' crime violations to be tacked onto any local infractions as, property damage, civil rights infringements, assaults, misdemeanor pedestrian infractions, curfew violations, and loitering or littering infractions. Hopefully with these stacked crimes it could yield adequate prison or jail time.
Yep, pretty sure it's an industry full of grifters and not a movement. Everything that's done on the public front end is fecally dipped by the quiet treasonous policies on the back. We're even likely to loose all of the initiatives gained in FL because of traitorous Susie Wiles and her like minded comrades. If only there were someone above her with the intelligence to see her subversive nature and who also possessed a set of balls to shut her movement destroying shit down? A tremendously, most,
The Susie Wiles slate is disgusting. Does Trump realize just how subversive his chief of staff is?
