Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

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 begin with a free-for-all Friday rundown of the latest news stories about the terrible reconciliation bill, bad endorsements from Trump, and more signs of stagflation. The court decision against universal injunctions is one positive story, but there is a huge catch. Also, why is the new CDC director unquestionably defending mRNA shots? Why is this administration continuing the biomedical security state under the mantle of MAHA? ...

We begin with some foreign policy news to show once again that the grifters were wrong about everything about the war. Plus, they don’t seem to be bothered by Trump’s waffling on Ukraine. Next, I discuss the bottom line about the reconciliation bill, how inflation is not being dealt with, and how the Trump administration is fundamentally misdiagnosing the housing problem. We’re joined by Kevin Freeman for an update on the transacti...

Americans are shocked watching New York City nominate an Islamist communist as the mayor of America’s largest city. I delve into the factors that led to this day and how red states must begin to fortify — otherwise they will be taken over too. That begins by electing leaders in primaries who take Florida’s model to the next level rather than typical do-nothing Republicans. Next, we’re joined by Florida state Sen. Jay Collins (R), f...

We begin today by contrasting Trump’s style toward domestic policy and toward foreign policy. His instincts and trolling are a great asset with foreign policy, and we saw this embodied in his willingness to bomb Iran’s nuclear program. On the other hand, the flattery and lack of attention to details is killing us on so many domestic issues. He just wants a “deal” and a talking point. We’re joined later on by Lee Smith of Tablet mag...

The online Right is busy criticizing Trump for attacking Iran after the country is already extremely weak. I explain why these commentators continue to utilize false choices and straw-man arguments, a point JD Vance himself made last week. Israel is actually ensuring that we can pull out of the Middle East. The online Right should be more concerned about what Trump is doing domestically. The courts are mowing down every one of his ...

How is it that the entirety of right-leaning media went from loving Israel to hating Israel at lightning speed? I explain how social media creates tunnel vision and precipitates a frenzy of self-confirmation of one’s niche business model whereby the business model drives the fact pattern rather than facts driving the social media brand. We cut through false choices and red herrings about what Israel means and doesn’t mean to Americ...

Contrary to Trump’s assertion that we need illegal alien farm workers, today I explain how they actually serve the business model of the cartels, bringing drug trafficking, crime, drunk driving, and cultural subversion into our most pristine rural counties. We’re joined by Jason Richwine,  a resident scholar at the Center for Immigration Studies, who blows up the myth that entire industries absolutely need foreign labor to function...

Bookmark today’s show as the Rosetta stone to understanding the hypocritical and feckless behavior of so much of the online Right. They might not influence the people, but they definitely influence the Trump White House. Today I explore why it is that they are lambasting Trump over a war that is under control and that they have suffered nothing for, but refuse to actually fight Trump on other betrayals that cut to the core of Ameri...

We begin by discussing the enigma of online influencers who supported many of Trump’s liberal policies, but then choose the one issue that is absolutely in the right to savage him. I explain how Trump’s first-term policy on ISIS is actually the perfect model of crushing an enemy in a way that speaks to the strength of the military without involving us in nation-building. Next, there is something going on in Israel that you all need...

On today’s special edition, I begin by offering my observations on the first three days of war between Israel and Iran. At some point, we need to restore the laws of just war fighting if we are going to defeat savages. We’re joined by Yoram Hazony live from Israel for an on-the-ground perspective, as well as thoughts on American and nationalist foreign policy in general. Yoram makes the case that both hyper-interventionists and the...

Last night, we got political and military clarity once and for all on Israel and Middle East policy. We’re joined by Kyle Shideler and David Reboi, two Middle East experts, who have long argued that if we simply stay out of Israel’s way, we can focus on our prerogatives without getting embroiled in conflict. They explain how last night’s successful strikes prove the growing reactionary forces on the Right wrong. With broad and pene...

In today’s foundational show, I cut to the core of why the Right is listless and devoid of a set of consistent beliefs or objectives on a single issue — yes, even on immigration. Trump has now come out in favor of more illegal slave workers as well as Chinese visas, but the “influencers” will slop up any dredge thrown in the trough. I weave in foreign policy, immigration, AI policy, China policy, and fiscal and economic policy to s...

We begin today discussing Trump’s trade deal with China. On the one hand, we were supposed to use tariffs to decouple from China, but this deal ensures that we get all the pain of tariffs but still rely on China for critical components plus bring in an unlimited supply of Chinese spies through visas. Next, we’re joined by Nicolas Hulscher, epidemiologist at the McCullough Foundation, for a wide-ranging discussion on the progress an...

We begin with an update on the riots and the need for Republicans to stick the landing on immigration enforcement in the must-pass bills. Next, we’re joined by Patrick Wood, editor of Technocracy, who is warning that the nightmare of AI and technocratic control is upon us. We analyze Louisiana Republican Speaker Mike Johnson’s statement promoting an effort to crush state regulations of AI and data centers. Patrick connects the dots...

This is a chance for redemption. After choking on the BLM riots in his first term, Trump has a chance not only to put down the L.A. riot itself, but to use the imagery of the invasion to finally end illegal immigration as we know it. Given the clear imagery of an invasion, Trump needs to finally either ignore the courts or demand that judicial reform be placed in reconciliation. Rather than pressuring conservatives to pass one big ...

We were all sick of the laptop class during the Biden years gaslighting working Americans into thinking the economy was just fine and inflation was transitory. Well, now we have Con Inc. commentators who earn a lucrative living off gaslighting you that inflation has been solved, deficits don’t affect you, and the BBB is the greatest bill ever. These people literally do not believe in a word they say so long as their people get into...

We begin today by celebrating Trump’s travel ban but also cautioning that he needs to expand it beyond data-sharing to vetting Sharia, anti-American beliefs. Next, we’re joined by economist Brian Wesbury for a discussion about inflation and the Trump reconciliation bill. Wesbury cuts through the gaslighting and excuses to show that the bill fails to deal with the fundamental issue of our time. Republicans have failed to convey to t...

Today, we discuss three aspects of Trump’s original campaign promises from 2015 on immigration that he has ignored this time: a ban on Muslim immigration, a ban on Chinese immigration, and serious reforms to worker visas undermining American workers. Today, I explain that in light of the Boulder terrorist and the rise of anti-Semitism, Trump has a greater rationale and mandate for a moratorium than ever before. Also, with more Chin...

Today, I offer a deep-dive diagnosis of what is ailing conservative media and how it seeps into administration policy. What you’re supposed to do is craft talking points in pursuit of fixed policy objectives. Instead we craft policies to fit ephemeral talking points. We develop cults of personality, mannerisms, subcultures, and vapid parlance. Those influencing these trends become the cool kids — most of whom are being paid off. I ...

We begin today’s show with a look at the courts and how all three Trump SCOTUS appointees continue to subvert the agenda, despite throwing us a few bones on the most egregious lower-court rulings. We’re joined by Andy Roth, president of the State Freedom Caucus Network, for an analysis of what went wrong and right with this year’s legislative sessions. He points out that where the Freedom Caucuses were already large, such as Wyomin...
