Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

What if I told you the two-party system could be broken, without starting from scratch — and without billions of dollars? Right now, a record number of Americans are rejecting BOTH parties. And there’s a strategy already in place that could turn that frustration into a brand-new political movement — almost overnight, using existing institutions of the Freedom Caucus activism and brand along with the state Republican Party convention system. We don't need a constitutional amendment to fix this; we just need to change the rules of the game. By moving away from monied, special-interest primaries and flooding state party conventions, the Freedom Caucus and grassroots patriots can de facto create a new party from the inside out. With a record number of independent voters — especially among Gen Z — the time to ditch the failing two-party system is right now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The deep state is fully intact, and the two-tiered justice system is worse than ever. Former J6 defense attorney and former Trump Department of Justice insider Jonathan Gross joins me to expose the ultimate betrayal happening right now inside the justice system. Despite promises to drain the swamp and end DOJ weaponization, the very people responsible for political persecution are still pulling the strings. Jonathan Gross reveals the shocking truth about his brief time inside the Trump administration, how his efforts to go after real threats like Antifa and those who persecuted Trump supporters were completely rebuffed, and why elevating Todd Blanche is a massive mistake for the conservative movement. From the fake SPLC indictments to the relentless targeting of ordinary Americans while left-wing assassination culture festers, we are living under pure anarcho-tyranny. If you want to know what the Uniparty is really doing behind closed doors while distracting the public with nonsensical issues, you cannot miss this interview. Learn more about your ad choices.

Why is the federal government rushing to hand massive tax breaks to the marijuana industry? The truth about high-potency THC and the corporate lobbying behind it is worse than you think. I’m joined by former White House drug policy adviser Kevin Sabet to expose the reality of the modern marijuana industry. This isn't the weed of the 1970s. Today’s genetically engineered, 99% THC products are fueling a crisis of psychosis, crime, vagrancy, homelessness, and addiction across America, while the black market thrives more than ever. We break down the Trump administration's shocking push to reschedule marijuana to Schedule III, revealing how the "medical" narrative was weaponized as a Trojan horse to enrich a new class of corporate cronies. From the devastation of lower-income neighborhoods to the hypocrisy of elements of the MAHA movement, this is the deep dive into the addiction-for-profit industry that the establishment wants to keep quiet.

Con Inc. is out blaming the Virginia loss on a lack of money and focus. Con Inc. is also upset that Republican states haven’t been as aggressive in redistricting. But this all misses the point. The reason the GOP is losing is that Trump’s image, messaging, and policies are toxic and conservatives are accomplishing nothing. And to the extent that there are problems with RINOs refusing to redistrict or a lack of funds from the RNC, that all gets back to the man they refuse to criticize. From the alienation of independent and suburban voters to the stark differences between how red and blue states wield their power, I dismantle the current state of the conservative movement and outline exactly why Republicans are bleeding political capital.

The GOP is failing miserably at the national level, and the clock is ticking. If conservative strongholds want to survive the next wave of mass migration, the fight must shift to the state and county levels immediately. In this urgent breakdown, I outline 20 highly specific, actionable policy ideas that red states can implement right now to preemptively deter illegal immigration once and for all. Forget the endless waiting on federal redistricting or congressional squabbles. This is a comprehensive blueprint for state legislatures to create "fortresses of liberty" through aggressive, localized public policy. From zoning law adjustments and enforcing E-Verify through state agencies, to revoking CDLs for illegal aliens and barring access to public benefits, this episode dives deep into the state-level legislation needed to completely demagnetize red states.

Are activist judges and liberal Republican politicians handing conservative strongholds over to the Left? It’s time to make impeachment great again. In this urgent episode, I sit down with Utah state Rep. Trevor Lee (R) to expose the shocking alleged scandal rocking the Utah Supreme Court. We dive deep into the controversy surrounding Judge Diana Hagen, the alleged conflict of interest involving a Democrat redistricting map, and the terrifying reality that Republicans are losing their grip on red states due to legislative inaction against judicial overreach. Why are Republican supermajorities refusing to use their constitutional power to impeach? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are Republicans actually powerless, or do they simply not share conservative values? It's time to break free from the failed political duopoly. Today, I expose the stark reality behind the lack of conservative accomplishments at both the federal and state levels. From the floor of Congress to supermajority red-state legislatures in Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas, the evidence is undeniable: The political establishment is prioritizing corporate interests, data center expansion, and leftist policies over the voters. I prove once and for all that the GOP perfidy is not due to timidity, lack of public support, or lack of legislative numbers and power; it’s due to a lack of values. Even when Republicans have the numbers and support to do popular things, they actually prioritize leftist ideas instead. There are a number of examples in today’s news to prove this. Now is the time to start a new movement. The good news is that the public is not fond of the Democrats and their ideas either. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are you just a data point in a massive cloud-based surveillance system? From FISA 702 to "Ambient AI" in your doctor's office, the digital net is closing in. Today, I chronicle the terrifying expansion of the biomedical security state and the bipartisan push for domestic surveillance. I’m joined by Twila Brase of the Citizens' Council for Health Freedom, who exposes the reality behind HIPAA — a law that destroyed your privacy rather than protecting it. We dive deep into the deployment of "Ambient AI" listening devices in examining rooms, the transformation of electronic health records into government dossiers, and why the push for Real ID is the foundation for a digital domestic passport. Plus, I discuss the Orwellian push by Republican leadership and Donald Trump to reauthorize FISA Section 702. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

With the looming threat of a Democrat federal trifecta, the battleground for American freedom has shifted. Red-state governors are our final, unbreakable bulwark against the radical Washington agenda. I explain how we can fight every major issue in the red states but that if we ignore the primaries, we will be left without a single governor who shares our values. I’m joined by South Dakota gubernatorial candidate Jon Hansen, the speaker of the South Dakota House. Speaker Hansen brings the receipts on how to actually govern with a conservative mandate. We dive deep into state-level sovereignty, pushing back against uniparty corporatism, and why true leadership means standing up to special interests. He is perhaps the candidate running this year who has the strongest record of actually fighting the RINOs on every issue that divides the corporatist Republicans from grassroots conservatives — from data centers, carbon capture, and Big Wind to marijuana, abortion, illegal immigration, and medical freedom.

Big Tech is selling us an illusion. From draining local communities of millions of gallons of water for data centers to actively degrading human cognition, the "AI Revolution" is creating an epidemic of laziness and cognitive surrender. I’m joined by innovation theorist and author of "The Borrowed Mind" John Nosta to expose the catastrophic reality of AI brain rot. While elites promise artificial general intelligence and a tech utopia, the data tells a different story: AI chatbots are making users lazier, more easily manipulated, and less capable of critical thought. It’s not a problem in AI itself, but in the way products are being deployed and marketed, which is designed to exploit the most vulnerable human desires to surrender to fantasy. We break down the shocking studies from MIT and Wharton, the truth behind the trillion-dollar Big Tech data center scam draining rural America's resources, and how to reclaim your independent thought in an era of engineered sycophancy and digital obsolescence.

Big Tech is coming for rural America's land, power, and water to fuel its hyperscale data centers. I’m joined by energy expert and journalist Robert Bryce, who has been chronicling the massive, bipartisan grassroots rebellion fighting back against the data center land-grab. The push for cloud-based AI and hyperscale data centers is draining America’s resources at a record pace — requiring unprecedented amounts of electricity and water while offering little return on investment to local communities. It’s the green energy grift all over again, but exponentially worse. From Round Rock, Texas, to Ravenna, Ohio, everyday Americans are uniting across the political spectrum to stop multinational tech giants from unnaturally rezoning agricultural land and destroying local grids. We dive into the shocking poll data, the reality of noise pollution, and why this fight is about much more than just energy — it’s about protecting our homesteads from the ultimate Big Tech surveillance state.

Did Donald Trump just unconditionally surrender to Iran? From his disastrous pullback in the Middle East to caving on immigration, ICE funding, and the courts, the "New Right" is facing a harsh reality: Trump speaks loudly but carries a white flag. I break down the shocking truth behind Trump's handling of the Iran conflict and the Strait of Hormuz. But this isn't just a foreign policy failure — it’s emblematic of an 11-year domestic pattern. Whether it’s allowing sanctuary cities to thrive, retreating on mass deportations, or allowing Democrats to dictate DHS funding, the conservative movement has been saddled with all the liabilities of the Trump persona and none of the policy victories. Plus, I cover the ongoing local battles over massive tech data centers in red states and why grassroots conservatives must build a parallel, godly movement away from the grift of the "podcast bros." Republicans continue to get crushed at the ballot box, along with data centers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today, I explain how voices in "Con Inc." like Tucker Carlson are completely missing the mark on the Trump administration. While they focus on foreign policy distractions and criticizing Trump for being mean to Islam, a quiet but devastating land-grab is happening right under our noses. I do a deep dive into the generative AI fraud, explaining why the massive data center build-out is not the new Industrial Revolution but rather a threat to our way of life. We explore how this push for AGI is aggressively encroaching on rural areas, driving up local electricity rates, monopolizing critical water usage, and threatening American farmland to build an unsustainable digital surveillance state. There are three fundamental lies about this business model that are now being exposed, yet Trump has surrendered his presidency to Sam Altman. Learn more about your ad choices.

The next 72 hours will determine the outcome of the war with Iran. Former intel officer Mike Pregent joins me to reveal tactical victories, strategic risks, and why Trump's ultimatum is the ultimate make-or-break moment. While the U.S. military secures massive tactical wins — including a spectacular F-15 search and rescue — questions remain about the true strategic objectives in the Middle East. Will the Strait of Hormuz be secured? Can the regime be degraded without engaging in another forever war? Plus I analyze the disastrous oral arguments at the Supreme Court regarding birthright citizenship. Discover why the original constitutional arguments are being ignored, the grave national security implications of anchor-baby policies, and what states must do to push back against judicial overreach.

America’s red-state heartland is under attack — not by foreign enemies, but by a coalition of Big Tech monopolies and establishment RINO politicians. In this urgent episode of the podcast, I expose the massive, taxpayer-subsidized land-grab sweeping across conservative strongholds. Across the country, prime agricultural land is being aggressively rezoned and swallowed up by insolvent AI data centers, sprawling solar arrays, and dystopian wind farms. I’m joined by Wyoming state Rep. Ann Lucas (Freedom Caucus), who reveals how her own state — the historic heartland of the American cowboy and ranching — is being sold out to corporate tech giants. Rep. Lucas breaks down how nondisclosure agreements, special tax abatements, and establishment Republicans are allowing corporations to drain local power grids and water supplies while citizens are left footing the bill with skyrocketing utility rates. Rather than bringing economic prosperity, these land-grabs are a Trojan horse designed to enrich a tech-driven surveillance state while crushing local farmers and ranchers and centralizing America’s land.

Are Americans being systematically pushed out of their own high-skilled professions? From tech to truck driving and now … medicine. In this episode, I’m joined by ENT specialist and medical freedom advocate Dr. Mary Talley Bowden to expose a shocking reality: thousands of qualified American medical students are failing to land residency spots, while taxpayer-funded Medicare programs fill those exact positions with foreign graduates. Why are we funding our own replacements in the medical field? More broadly, I explain exactly why Donald Trump and the GOP are missing the mark by focusing solely on the SAVE Act. If conservatives want to win on the economy and immigration, they must tackle the real threats: birthright citizenship for illegal aliens, the gerrymandering of the U.S. Census, and the mass replacement of the American worker. Plus, a quick update on the Supreme Court's latest 8-1 ruling on gay conversion therapy and a look at what Trump should be doing with the Strait of Hormuz. Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump and Republicans were handed a historic mandate — and instead of delivering on immigration, inflation, sovereignty, and middle-class priorities, they wasted it on distractions, bad endorsements, corporate welfare, and political nonsense. In this episode, I discuss how the GOP squandered total control, why Republicans are heading toward a brutal electoral backlash, and how the movement lost focus on the very issues voters cared about most. From birthright citizenship and mass deportation failures to state-level GOP dysfunction, AI data center boondoggles, and the coming 2026 political wipeout, this is a blunt look at why the conservative movement keeps losing even when it thinks it wins. I also address the bizarre "cliqueservative" echo chamber of misaligned priorities that lack original thought. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The AI "boom" is a scam that is destroying America’s land, energy, economy, and manufacturing future — while crowding out the AI we actually need. Today, I cut through the "chat slop" to define what AI actually is — and what it isn't. I break down the critical difference between the insolvent, land-destroying pursuit of artificial general intelligence and the real, low-latency "edge computing" that could actually rebuild American manufacturing, revolutionize agriculture, and strengthen our military. Discover why the current AI framework is the new "green energy" scam, how it threatens local zoning and power grids, and why true Austrian economics demands that we pull the plug on these government favors before the bubble bursts. The next tech revolution is the form of AI nobody is discussing. LLM chat slop, on the other hand, is the new mRNA and green energy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Obamacare was sold as affordable health care. Instead, it gave America higher costs, less freedom, insurance monopolies, hospital consolidation, and endless bureaucracy. I’m joined by health care freedom advocate Twila Brase to mark the grim anniversary of Obamacare and explain how America’s health care system was broken on purpose — and what it would take to fix it. From exploding premiums and denied care to Medicaid distortion, violation of privacy and dignity, private practice collapse, and the rise of corporate medicine, this episode exposes the truth behind why health care in America is more broken than ever. But there is a way out. Twila reveals the ultimate free-market fix: the "Three C's" (cash, catastrophic coverage, and charity). It’s time to defund the middleman, restore price transparency, and take our medical freedom back. Plus, I call out the GOP establishment for abandoning health care in favor of generative AI, data centers, the surveillance state, and corporate handouts. Learn more about your ad choices.

We are living under a judicial oligarchy, and it’s getting worse, not better. In this episode, I break down the two massive roadblocks destroying any chance at restoring our republic: Judicial supremacism and a GOP acting as controlled opposition. Constitutional law professor Josh Blackman joins the show to expose the dangerous myth that federal judges have absolute, final authority over the executive and legislative branches. He shows how the Supreme Court is out to lunch and why even higher-court victories do not change the landscape. Later, I analyze the brutal reality of recent special elections. Why are Republicans getting crushed with independent voters? And why is Trump acting as a "defeat mechanism" by endorsing liberal, establishment Republicans in state legislatures over proven conservatives? It's time to face the hard truth about the uniparty.
