Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

After Trump, Hakeem Jeffries, and Johnson all joined together yesterday to give Democrats everything they wanted, we are left with one solution. We need to go to war with Republicans. It’s time to pledge to stop supporting their people in general elections. That is our only leverage. We also have to stop covering for people who pretend to vote the right way but continue supporting bad leaders. We are joined today by one of our own listeners, Steve Boyd, who is running against one such incumbent in Minnesota’s 7th District. He explains how his opponent strategically votes the right way to avoid a primary while ensuring that the uniparty continues betraying the people of this conservative district. Boyd was able to prevent the incumbent from winning the party endorsement at the convention despite the entire apparatus being against him. He warns about complacency and comfort relegating conservatives to the status quo. We also discuss the opportunity to finally break the stranglehold that corporate ag interests have on conservative rural districts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin discussing the Indiana primary results and how GOP primary voters clearly are not inspired to act on their beliefs and change the party one iota. Perhaps, this is why we have not had a reckoning on the COVID genocide. I’m joined today by British investigative journalist Sonia Elijah, who gives a spellbinding presentation on how European countries continue to cover up vaccine injuries just like in the U.S. Some countries are criminalizing dissent and others are erasing excess death data points in order to cover the crimes. However, as Sonia observes, new data curated from the European Medicines Agency’s own pharmacovigilance program shows a shocking number of heart attacks and cancers spiking in recent years. It also shows that COVID itself was the number-one side effect of the COVID vaccines! Despite this happening out in the open, and AstraZeneca even taking its shot off the market, there is no mainstream political party in any country that is not bought out by the industry. Therefore, not only have the perpetrators not been punished, they are taking the road show on to cancer treatment where they plan to do the same thing they did with COVID ... of course, after having caused a sickening amount of cancer from their deadly shots.

The Right is good at complaining about the Left but then undermining any ability to actually deal with the problem. We begin today with an update on the fight to remove Speaker Johnson and how it’s indefensible that conservatives and Trump are promoting “unity” over outcomes. For the rest of the show, I focus on how GOP donors and organizations continue to promote Soros jailbreak legislation – both in the red states and in Congress. Despite the crime wave and drug crisis they complain about incessantly, when the legislative ball is actually in play, Republicans continue to toss interceptions. I do a deep dive into the history of the crime wave and how these groups deviously ensure that the number of criminals who remain on the streets is maximized. Hence, Republicans let the Democrats off the hook by sharing in responsibility for their most radical objectives. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today, I contrast the amazingly organized movement of the far Left to that nonexistent one of the Right. All we have are memes and cultural flash points, but no forward-looking movement on law and policy to capitalize on these flash points. I use the college campus riots as an example for how the Left has effectively used its agitators to push an already left-wing president even farther to the left, to the point where he is now openly opposing Israel. Yet on the right, we have Speaker Johnson screwing us on every issue, but we lack the movement to remove him. Trump continues to support him. He also complains about a narrow majority but undermines any ability to get better Republicans in the primaries. I explain how nothing will change – even if Republicans win in November – if we are not willing to do surgery now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Why is it that we have a one-sided civil war with only the left having an effective political movement? Why is it that we elevate subversive voices and politicians on the right who undermine our core values and outcomes? Today, we settle the ultimate debate between my colleague Steve Deace and me: Is it that conservative media voices spew garbage because they know that’s what conservative voters want to hear, similar to the false prophets in the Bible? Or is it that the conservative voters will take whatever they receive from conservative elites, and if we actually had better elites, we can come to the promised land? Steve has decisively come to the conclusion that the people are the problem. He makes a passionate case that although there is evidence conservative elites manipulate unsuspecting followers, DeSantis’ candidacy is the control group on this question. They knew about him and still chose sugar over steak. He believes that even if we had better leaders on the professional Right, a new parallel universe would inevitably develop to offer the people what they want. Because of the Baby Boomers and their lazy desire for comfort and the path of least resistance, we are stuck with them like the Israelites who wandered for 40 years in the desert.

Today, I continue to make the case for why Speaker Johnson needs to be removed and why Trump must be forced to drop his support for him. Johnson placed a dumb hate crimes bill on the floor yesterday, which has forced conservatives into a false choice. I warn how Johnson’s brand of Republicanism is actually fueling more anti-Semitism on the reactionary Right by stupidly making support for Israel about money and hate crimes legislation rather than about ending Islamic immigration and foreign funding of universities. That would synergize pro-Israel and pro-Jewish initiatives with America first. Later on, I offer updates on successes and failures in red states, including the toughest immigration law that just passed in Oklahoma but is about to be undermined by the governor.

Stop focusing on the general election. Now is primary time. Today, I explain the case for getting rid of Speaker Johnson (R-La.) and why the timing of most congressional primaries is optimal to maximize pressure on members. Everything going on today can be influenced through our own dominion over red states on the right, but that will require my colleges to demand that Trump stop supporting Johnson. I show how Trump continues to drift to the left and help bail Johnson out and is literally siding with Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.). Finally, I discuss how the recent Utah convention shows that we can single-handedly take over the GOP in one election if we moved from popular primaries to representative conventions. It is the single closest idea I have to a silver bullet, and it’s shocking that we don’t have greater support around it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

You might have heard a lot this week about the Hamas riots on the college campuses, but where is this coming from? We’re joined today by Daniel Greenfield, an investigative journalist and writer at FrontPage magazine, who intricately connects the dots between Soros, the Ford Foundation, and Rockefeller money and the foreign Muslim Brotherhood promotion of the college riots. I also give a tutorial on constitutional rights and protests to show how there is a difference between freedom of speech and taking over public venues, in addition to school codes of conduct. Ultimately, I believe the anarchy in blue states juxtaposed to the way the riots are handled in places like Florida and Texas will accelerate the national divide, which is actually a good thing.

Today, I lament how Trump continues to slide to the left and run an ineffective campaign. Yet the very “GOP normie” voters who wrongly put all their eggs in the presidential election basket refuse to ensure that Trump actually puts together a winning strategy. I offer a postmortem on the Senate vote for the Ukraine grift and how Trump endorsed 24 of the 31 who supported it. We are continuing to sleep through another primary season, just like we slept through DeSantis. We’re living through the book of Kings. DeSantis is like Josiah in that he is leading in all the ways we desire, but privately we want to act just like the Left and believe in idols. Plus, “Flight 93 election” revisited eight years later.

Congress rarely meets on Saturday, but this week was different. Republican leaders joined with every Democrat to sell us out on foreign aid and everything else that is important. I take a sledgehammer to Mike Johnson (R-La.) for using the Bible and Israel to justify his betrayal when, in fact, even the Israel bill is full of provisions that negate Israel’s security and actually help harness anti-Semitism. Next, we’re joined by Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) for a very thorough debriefing on what occurred on Saturday. Massie explains how Johnson insidiously used a veterans’ bill to grease the skids for Schumer to pass the Ukraine agenda. He makes the full case against Johnson and calls upon his colleagues to sign the motion to vacate so that we can force Johnson out and avoid a floor vote. Also, Massie teases out a potential move to the Kentucky state Senate one day and why that is probably a step up from being in Congress. Learn more about your ad choices.

There is a reason why we have a comatose movement that refuses to focus on red-state primaries and legislative sessions or holding Republicans accountable. It is so consumed by Trump and his subversion. I explain why Trump will continue to move to the left in pursuit of monied interests and how the conservative base will continue to be ineffective until it comes to terms with his failures. Next, we’re joined by Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), who gives us an update on Speaker Johnson’s legislative ground and pound. He explains how Johnson used procedures to maximize the success of Democrat foreign aid and how he has full support from the Biden administration. Learn more about your ad choices.

There is more pervasive opinion on the Right that the GOP is a fake opposition than ever before. Yet these same commentators refuse to look in the mirror and recognize that they have enabled this for years and continue to do so to this day. They either sleep through the critical legislative fights and primaries or sometimes downright subvert them. I discuss the “code of silence” around pointing any finger at Trump for supporting Ukraine funding, even as everyone gets all red-faced over Speaker Johnson’s betrayal (with Trump’s support). Commentators are starting to acknowledge the red-state RINO problem but fail to see how Trump has re-elected nearly every one of them and continues to do so to this day. These same commentators refuse to get involved in down-ballot primaries, refuse to engage in red-state legislative fights, and refuse to pressure Trump to the right. Learn more about your ad choices.

First, we make the case for why Speaker Johnson (R-La.) must be removed and why Trump must stop giving him cover. Johnson is about to screw us on Ukraine for no reason. I also explain how he made FISA 702 much worse than current law in a way that expands the NSA's power to almost any business or landowner with internet service onsite. Next, I delve into a monumental concurrence from Justices Gorsuch, Thomas, and Alito on how lower courts do not have the authority to issue universal injunctions. Unless state governors begin adopting this position, everything we seek to accomplish in the red states will be “vetoed” by the forum-shopped liberal judges. Also, I make the case for why I believe Trump is unlikely to win, but even if he does win, his presidency will be neutralized unless we end the practice of universal injunctions.

Now that Republicans surrendered domestic policy to Biden, he has a free lane to mess with Israel’s sovereignty. We’re joined today by Lee Smith of Tablet magazine, who explains how Biden has purposely allied with Iran to imperil Israel and then give the impression that Israel needs him to protect its territory from Iran. Lee makes the case that Israel needs to become independent of U.S. aid while we focus on the Islamization here at home. Israel needs to crush the jihadists in order to tamp down the inspiration for jihad among Americans living here. Unfortunately, Speaker Johnson (R-La.) is playing into the Biden administration’s effort to divide the Right by making Israel about foreign aid and tacking on Ukraine funding rather than countering Biden’s policies against Israel. What Republicans should be doing is using must-pass bills to defund the PLO, the Iran deal, and the Lebanese armed forces, abrogate Biden’s alliance with Qatar, designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terror group, and cut off immigration from Middle Eastern countries.

Speaker Johnson (R-La.) once again massacred conservatives on Friday by reauthorizing an expanded version of FISA 702 spying, despite bipartisan support against it. He was the tie vote against requiring a warrant. Yet not only did Trump decline to pressure him, he gave Johnson complete cover at Mar-a-Lago. In addition, Trump held a press conference on Friday promoting Ukraine funding, bashing anti-abortion laws, opposing the motion to vacate the speakership, and promoting Obamacare. I warn that Trump is being compromised by a quest for wealthy donors and that if we don’t work to push him to the right, this dangerous leftward slide will accelerate. I also give baseline thoughts on Iran’s attack on Israel and how the Biden administration is working with Iran and even ordered the attack. Rather than focusing on foreign aid, the GOP House should have used leverage on budgets and reauthorization bills to prohibit Biden’s policies empowering Israel’s enemies.

Americans love privacy. There is bipartisan support for requiring a warrant to query any information on Americans swept up in this surveillance program. Why are Republicans allowed to squander that once again? And why aren’t conservatives pressuring Trump to drop his support for Johnson on this issue, as well as Ukraine funding? Later on, we’re joined by Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), one of the pioneers in the fight for privacy, who is trying to force a vote banning the government from purchasing our data from third-party vendors. He explains how the 702 program has proven to be abused and is much broader than people realize. We have a government that openly lets in thousands of dangerous Middle Eastern terrorists and violent Latin American gangs, and then they turn around and demand we authorize domestic spying under the guise of national security. This is anarcho-tyranny at its best. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What if I told you we already have the raw materials for a new party without having to go through the insurmountable process of getting a new party line on the ballot? I’m joined today by Andy Roth, president of the State Freedom Caucus Network, who paints a vivid description of how the Freedom Caucuses are serving as a branded movement to upend the uniparty in what should be red states. Liberal Republicans are now retiring because Freedom Caucus members have made their grift feel so miserable. Andy’s only regret is that he didn’t do this earlier. The key is that the members are all principles and focused on issues, not personality and drama. You can have a big tent for various issues, but you need a core that is not tainted by foreign influence or grifting personalities. Separately, I discuss how to win on abortion and how Florida polling proves the point. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What happens when you build a mindlessly populist movement unmoored from any principles or strategic goals? Well, you get what we have today, which is elements of MAGA embracing abortion, Bruce Jenner, Log Cabin Republicans, and now even Hamas. I delve into Tucker Carlson’s complete conversion into a Hamas-promoting leftist – all to politically own one Jew he happens to dislike. We don’t have time for this nonsense. I give the Biblical analogy from Kings 12 with Jeroboam and Rehoboam on how a movement built on just rote opposition without any affirmative beliefs winds up being worse than the movement it is critiquing in the first place. Just know that we don’t need to sign on to false choices. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We always hear the conservative noise machine industry tell us that unless we vote Republican every other November, we will be stuck with socialism. Well, I’ve got news for you: We already have permanent socialism, and merely focusing on the topline ballot of the general election will not fix that. The only way to end the venture socialism from which we already suffer is for states to begin adopting gold and silver currency. Today, I offer a broad presentation of economic and labor data proving that we now face a permanent recession in the job market as consumer prices, credit, and debt skyrocket to record levels. These problems are much greater than the ability of any one general election — even with good Republican candidates — to solve. We need to stop with the distractions and begin fighting as if our lives are on the line ... because they actually are. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The solar eclipse will only last a few minutes, but the mooning we have incurred from Trump’s political eclipse has distracted us for eight years. I address Trump’s ridiculous comments on abortion today and demonstrate how they are emblematic of a broader problem in that he doesn’t believe or understand a lot of our values. Therefore, at the first sight of political trouble, he tosses the issue overboard. It would sure help if Trump would at least parlay his retreat on abortion into a fight for bodily autonomy against the biomedical security state. But alas, because of his mooning on the vaccine issue, no amount of information that comes out about the deadly shots is moving the needle on the policy front. I detail some of the new studies on the shots showing a shocking percentage of people suffered cardiac damage and that the damage is long-lasting. Learn more about your ad choices.
