Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Trump is at a crossroads. The most important and enduring accomplishment — perhaps the only enduring accomplishment — will be to break judicial supremacism. In today’s action-packed show, I discuss the arguments Trump must make as to why judges have no jurisdiction over deportations and how he must fully ignore the courts. Such a posture will help us down the road when we push for red states to fi...

Even though inflation has slowed for one month, we are trapped between a vicious trio of debt, record prices, and a recession. Meanwhile, judges continue to take over Trump’s presidency, and he refuses to exert himself over the court and/or force his agenda through Congress. Quite the contrary. RINOs successfully downed his pick for CDC director, yet they didn’t get "the Chip Roy treatment." Next,...

During the Biden administration, I warned that the government was engaging in “economic grooming” by acculturating the public to accept the current price levels as the new normal and to deem slower rates of increase as victories against inflation. We are seeing the same things from Trump supporters misinterpreting one month’s CPI report. We cannot lie to people that inflation has been solved witho...

So Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is now a hero, but Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) deserves a primary? Sadly, Trump is repeating the mistakes of his first term by demanding that conservatives in Congress undermine his own stated agenda. Also, what ever happened to banning mRNA?Next, we tackle the housing crisis caused by government with banking and housing expert Alex Pollock of the Mises Institute. Alex explain...

Not only are the spending cuts from the DOGE either being exaggerated or struck down by the courts, but now its existence is being used as an excuse not to cut spending for real in budget bills. Today, I explain how the budget CR is a bigger betrayal than you think. I shoot down about a dozen arguments in support of it. Unfortunately, Trump has pressured the Freedom Caucus rather than the RINOs, s...

We begin by discussing the need and opportunity for Trump to push back against judicial supremacism lest all his policies go to waste. Next, I delve into a new poll showing how support for gay marriage is plummeting, yet Republicans refuse to utilize the Overton window and instead are making everything about female sports. The same thing applies to the budget and spending cuts. They are underestim...

We begin by delving into Trump’s speech last night. What is self-evident is that Trump could crush Democrats in a shutdown or brinksmanship fight over the budget. But sadly, he is pressuring conservatives to vote for the important bills that will fund everything he is promising to cut or reform. We’re joined by the one and only Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who breaks down the math of the budget pro...

We begin with a discussion about the state of the economy and the proposed tariffs. Trump is right to focus on the long-term and be willing to suffer short-term stock markets, but why blow the capital on tariffs? Instead, Trump should focus on massive health care and welfare reform and regulatory cuts before pursuing tariffs. Next, we’re joined by Nic Hulscher, epidemiologist at the McCullough Fou...

It’s really simple. When Trump uses his bully pulpit, he moves the people. We are seeing that quite vividly with the fight over Ukraine funding. However, if he doesn’t extend this to his fight with Congress and the courts, much of the good work will be washed away. To that end, I explain how Trump can totally win a government shutdown over the budget. He can use his Tuesday-night speech to lay out...

In this free-for-all Friday show, we cover an enormous amount of ground on the news of the day, centered around the point that we need to end photo-op conservatism. I go through immigration, spending, economy, mRNA, and a bunch of other issues to show how the grifter corps of the online Right is ensuring that we get nothing but photo ops. I also address the degeneracy with the embrace of the Tate...

We seem to have universal support in the GOP for ending welfare and criminality among immigrants, but we’re forgetting the great replacement of Americans is still a problem culturally and in the labor market. I’m joined today by Jason Richwine, resident scholar at the Center for Immigration Studies, for a discussion on how the STEM worker shortage is a hoax. He uses the price of eggs to show how s...

Today, I provide the most in-depth math behind taxes and spending in budget reconciliation and the message Republicans are lacking. Under the current trajectory, Republicans will incur the worst mix of policy and political outcomes. They are mistakenly blowing their capital on inefficient tax cuts that can easily be demagogued in exchange for fake spending cuts that will be enough to elicit politi...

We begin today with some concerning political news about gubernatorial endorsements of candidates with no proven record. I explain the difference between candidates who talk a good game and those who actually survived the trial by fire that determines outcomes. Next, we’re joined by famed cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough for a spellbinding presentation on bird flu. He explains the absurdity of ma...

Trump has shown over the weekend that he is clearly frustrated by the pace of both deportations and spending cuts. We focus mainly on the spending issue today, showing how Republicans have done a poor job communicating to the public how these very programs that people are dependent upon are driving inflation, creating asset bubbles, and devaluing the purchasing power of the dollar in a way that on...

We begin by discussing how Congress is proving that lawmakers have no interest in cutting spending. The problem is that Trump doesn’t realize the mutual exclusivity of his desire to cut inflation with his concurrent desire to cut nothing but “waste, fraud, and abuse.” I explain how this is similar to the Obamacare fight of 2017. This is why transactional gold is the only solution. We’re joined by...

Conservative media are lying to you. They are conflating opportunities with outcomes and momentum with actualized gains. They are giving the impression that draining the swamp, cutting spending, and ending illegal immigration are easy. Yet the only way to secure enduring victories is fighting through adversity. I explain what some of those choke points are and how, absent the desire or ability to...

There is so much potential to downsize government, but if we allow our colleagues in conservative media to lie to the public, we will not stick the landing. Too many people are being told that DOGE magically discovered trillions in savings without cutting a single program. That is simply not true, and this is reflected in the congressional budget, where lawmakers are struggling to find even a frac...

What happened to banning mRNA? Why are the COVID vaccines still on the market and their makers now getting contracts for other vaccines, including for the bird flu? We’re joined today by Dr. Kat Lindley, who is not letting go of this issue. She is warning that because we failed to kill the pandemic playbook, it is being run again almost word for word with bird flu. Those running the playbook creat...

We’ve never had such an open lane to implement all of our policies federally and in the red states. Even the media is conceding that Trump is running circles around the Democrats and has a bigger megaphone than they do. Yet we still are not sticking the landing on outcomes because of the "holy trinity of strategies" I outline on today’s show. They are pressuring Congress to enact his orders, stand...

Between the good bills we have introduced in red states and Trump’s executive orders, the sky is the limit as to what we can accomplish. But if we sit back as pundits and don’t push activism, none of this will come to fruition. We tackle the courts, budget reconciliation, the lack of a vision from congressional Republicans, and the need for Trump to offer affirmative direction. I prove once again...

Today, I offer everything you need to know about the House budget reconciliation proposal. It will blow a massive hole in the deficit, exacerbate inflation, provide Democrats with a good campaign message, and leave us with no accomplishments. Instead, I lay out a vision of what Trump should do with welfare reform, ending foreign worker programs, cutting all global warming regulations, repealing Ob...

So many of us have been inspired by Trump’s executive orders, but unfortunately most of them will not last, because Republicans have not changed who they are. I explain why Trump needs to push back against judicial supremacism and demand a better budget reconciliation bill in Congress in order for him to stick the landing on his agenda. Sadly, Republicans have not changed even in deep-red states....

Unless we terminate the erroneous notion of judicial supremacism, we will be left with tyranny, and Trump and red states will be powerless to change anything. In today’s extra-long episode, I offer the definitive history, legal case, and philosophical argument against judicial supremacism and in favor of constitutional decompartmentalization. I explain the system our founders adopted and rejected,...

There is a ton of focus on Trump’s White House, which is why we are getting a lot of good policies. However, there is less focus on Trump’s interaction with Congress and primary endorsements. Hence, we get a lot less. Today, I raise some concerns about progress on immigration enforcement and spending cuts. While Trump has signaled a good direction on a lot of policies, many of them are not resulti...

It’s worse than you think. Republicans won a huge mandate in Texas, yet a group of RINOs worked with Democrats to hand control of the legislature to Democrats. We’re joined by Rep. Brian Harrison (R), one of the few conservatives willing to fight corrupt leaders, for an in-depth discussion on how decent conservatives get co-opted by the very leadership empowering Democrats. In a wide-ranging discu...
