Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Latest Episodes:

Saving Red America Before It’s Too Late | 7/18/24 Jul 19, 2024

Show notes

We begin by tying together looser observations on the RNC and the impending Democrat switcheroo of Biden. I’m concerned that conservatives have not war-gamed a scenario of Democrats bringing on a fresh face in contrast to Trump’s own image problems and fatigue from his age. We offer ideas for Republicans and Trump to strike while the iron is hot and actually indict Democrats on the key issues before Democrats make the switch. Finally, I discuss the fact that we need to focus on red states where we don’t have to worry about losing to the Democrats and where there should be no clamor to water down our beliefs in exchange for the promise of electoral success. However, there is a looming threat of using ballot petitions to abolish primaries and institute rank-choice voting. The Left has successfully turned Alaska blue using this convoluted method. We must put effort and resources into red states before they permanently turn them into blue states.

Balancing Principle with Pragmatism | 7/18/24 Jul 18, 2024

Show notes

Many issues and events surrounding the RNC have brought out important debates among conservatives concerning the balance of principle with the need to appeal to voters. Today, I discuss the need for balance with most principles. We’re not all about workers or corporations. We’re not all about one group or the other. We have fixed principles that are for the “whole of the people,” that you pragmatically present to appeal to various people. But what we don’t need is an overindulgence of an extreme ascetic cosplay to pander to a specific group, all the while using the other extreme as the straw man to justify ridiculous behavior. I also show how Republicans continue to obsess over symbolism, cosplay, and abstract right-wing theory, while in practice, they are ironically continuing the same business as usual.

Why Every Day Is Election Day | 7/17/24 Jul 17, 2024

Show notes

Today is one of our longest and most foundational shows. For all my life, we’ve been entreated to make the false choice of either voting for RINOs or risking Democrats winning and there is nothing you can do about it. Today, I go through the news of the day with the thesis that every day, conservative influencers, and often ordinary voters, get a vote by getting on the activism playing field and pushing Republicans to the right. I warn about the need to do this with Trump now before it’s too late. He is floating a trial balloon of keeping Jerome Powell at the Federal Reserve and appointing Jamie Dimon as treasury secretary, among a litany of disturbing trends we are seeing. Election Day is November 5, but every day before and after, we can build a movement that fights for our prerogatives. I give some examples of what it means to “vote” in this way and how it’s more powerful than your ballot on the official Election Day.

What Is It We Are Actually Fighting FOR? | 7/16/24 Jul 16, 2024

Show notes

A comprehensive discussion of JD Vance, my thoughts on the convention, and how we have an entire party and movement that are clueless about what they believe. Today is a foundational show where we discuss false dichotomies in populism and the difference between unbridled populism and conservative populism. Too many Republicans are now embracing straight-up socialism under the guise of appealing to the working class, when in fact there is a much better way. I offer some suggestions. With that, I explain the good and the bad with JD Vance. He’s good on social issues and foreign policy but is confused on economic policy. Overall, JD is the best of the names Trump was considering but will not move Trump to the right unless we build a movement around him. Most of all, the fact that Trump picked JD is evidence that he still cares about what the base thinks. We must use our clout with him rather than allowing him to drift.

What 'Fight, Fight, Fight' Can and Must Mean | 7/15/24 Jul 15, 2024

Show notes

We all agree that the near-assassination of President Trump should serve as a cathartic moment. But today I warn that it will not change things on its own unless we change our mentality. Now more than ever we have both the opportunity and the imperative to end all compromising with the Left. Fighting means we stop elevating RINOs and people like Mike Johnson. It means that in red states we politically kill the Left and destroy all their policies the way they want to physically harm us. If we believe the Left has blood on its hands, it’s time to ACT like it. We must not be like a groundhog that comes out once every two years to vote Republican and then goes back into the cave. Finally, the attempted assassination cannot be used as pretext to shut down those who raise concerns about a leftward shift of the party. Quite the contrary: It must be used as a galvanizing moment to unite behind an agenda and a strategy that will actually destroy rather than empower the Left. The sky is the limit right now, which is why we must demand change from the GOP in Congress even before the election.

The Undeniable Cancer Epidemic Being Covered Up by the Corrupt Medical Profession | Guest: Dr. Angus Dalgleish | 7/12/24 Jul 12, 2024

Show notes

We begin the show discussing the observation that left-wing lies of grave consequence are able to persist indefinitely without being challenged. That is due to the fact that we have no smart, effective, and principled political movement. One example is the COVID shots. Despite everything we know, they are still being expanded. We’re joined later on by Dr. Angus Dalgleish, one of the most accomplished and experienced oncologists in the U.K. He warns that the vaccines are causing an unmistakable rise in all forms of cancers and that they are clearly much harder to treat. He provides all of the science, data, and clinical observations showing how the same way the shots make you more vulnerable to viral infections because they degrade the immune system, they are also causing cancer. As a man who has spent a half-century in medicine, science, immunology, and oncology, Dr. Dalgleish has lost all faith in the medical profession.

My Most Important Show Ever | 7/11/24 Jul 11, 2024

Show notes

Yes, out of nearly 2,000 podcasts, I can definitely say that this is the most important one ever, because it speaks to the most existential threat to our political future and, in turn, our civilization. I connect the dots of Trump’s liberal endorsements, liberal positions, platform change, obsession with Project 2025, and obsession with talking down pro-life and talking up homosexuality to prove how Trump is creating a long-term franchise to own America’s right and then brand it as a Macron- or Bloomberg-style coalition that is a big tent for the corporatist left minus the very far left. The one thing that stands in his way is a principled nationalist right, which is why he is actively waging war against it. I’m not saying not to vote for him; it’s not even Labor Day yet. I appeal to all my colleagues to get on the playing field and exert ourselves over him. He needs pushback before it’s too late. As always, I offer hope about budding endeavors in red states, but those budding successes will be crushed if we allow Trump to consolidate a long-term franchise around a center-left agenda.

It’s Time to Categorically Uproot the Climate Lie | Guest: Steve Milloy | 7/10/24 Jul 10, 2024

Show notes

First, we begin today’s discussion with a critique of the new Con Inc., which claims to be a reboot of the old GOP but in fact is continuing to espouse right-wing philosophy in the abstract while being MIA or downright subversive when it comes to the raw use of power to implement said ideas. Next, we’re joined by energy expert Steve Milloy of JunkScience.com who thoroughly debunks the entire premise of global warming being linked to carbon output and to our human activity. He notes that we cannot afford to allow Republicans to agree to the lie of the climate religion. It is too destructive. We discuss how the scientific consensus is just like COVID and how just as with COVID policies, wind, solar, and carbon capture actually harm their stated goals of an environmentally friendly universe. We also discuss how drilling for oil is not good enough if we don’t also expand refinery and delivery capacity and repeal all of the subsidies for the green grift.

The GOP’s Massive Tent That Can’t Hold You | 7/9/24 Jul 09, 2024

Show notes

The GOP has a massive tent. Everyone is in it except for people like us. Today, I explain the significance of the GOP platform changes — where the GOP is coming from and where it is headed. This is part of an effort to blunt our momentum against the Rainbow Jihad so the GOP can create consensus around left-wing ideas. I explain the need for conservative figures and groups to induce a “Harriet Miers moment” whereby they read Trump the riot act and move him to the right. This can totally be done. The only reason we have no red line is because we have no enduring principles, which is now reflected in the new GOP platform.

Unless We Pressure Him to the Right, Trump Will Be Like France’s Macron | 7/8/24 Jul 08, 2024

Show notes

We are headed on a path toward Europe … unless we pressure Trump to the right and start building a parallel, independent movement in the red states. I begin by analyzing the French and British elections. Because the Right in those countries allowed the uniparty to fester for so long, conservatives are now in a permanent minority. We are headed in the same direction, except our system of governance has one escape hatch: federalism. We can still govern fully in large swaths of the country, if we only built upon the growing success of taking over state parties, electing better governors, and strengthening the state Freedom Caucuses. But this is where Trump comes in. Trump has now carpet-bombed Project 2025, which was an agenda on policy and personnel that would actually have made his administration MAGA. I explain how revealing and devastating Trump’s decision is and how he will betray us like there is no tomorrow unless we start holding him accountable. If we don’t, we will be worse off than Europe because Trump governs like Macron but has the adoration of the Right as if he were Le Pen.
