Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Everyone is commenting on the Canadian elections, but what most on the Right are missing is that we are on our way to becoming like Canada in the sense that we can’t elect conservatives even in culturally conservative parts of the nation. I raise concerns about Greg Abbott’s comments that Trump will endorse Texas RINOs. Next, we’re joined by Nathan Dahm, director of the Oklahoma Freedom Caucus, wh...

Trump came into office with enormous political capital and an unprecedented bully pulpit. He could have used that to push transformational things through budget reconciliation and to build a right-wing party with better primary endorsements. It’s not that he didn’t signal a lot of good policies in a vacuum; it’s that he chose to blow his capital on the tariff gambit, which has now drained his poli...

We begin today with the latest insane court rulings and how conservative media is a day late and a dollar short in dealing with it. Also, there are some disturbing trends at HHS, including the continuation of Biden’s policies on dangerous abortion drugs. Next, we’re joined by Paul Winfree, president of the Economic Policy Innovation Center and budget director at the OMB under Trump’s first adminis...

Invasion and inflation. Those were the two big campaign issues. So today, we conduct an examination of where things stand on both of those issues. The reality is that the courts are crushing Trump on deportations, and unless he stands up to the courts, the campaign promises will fall flat. I call on Trump to issue an “executive review” panel to joust with the courts and also pledge not to send out...

Republicans and their cheering fans in Con Inc. media are a bunch of listless vessels with no ideological direction on most issues. The one shining exception is the gun rights movement. We’re joined today by Luis Valdes, national spokesman for Gun Owners of America, for a presentation on where things stand with gun rights both federally and in the states. Valdes celebrates numerous policy and lega...

Either Trump ignores the courts, or his presidency will end in failure. It’s that simple. Today, I go through a litany of immigration cases to show how far the Overton window has moved in the courts. So even if the Supreme Court magnanimously walks back a few of the rulings, we will still be playing behind par. Also, once again, the Supreme Court appears to be ready to overturn the conservative Fi...

This weekend, we celebrated the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. Our Founders fought the mightiest military power at the time over a fraction of the tyranny we face from black-robed judges who have no power whatsoever to rule over the other branches. We’re joined by legal expert Josh Hammer to delve into the unprecedented Supreme Court ruling over the weekend demanding that Trump...

We begin today with a free-for-all Friday, going through an assortment of news of the day. Also, there is new data regarding the decline of religion in America, and it’s not pretty. Next, we turn to the persecution of Charles and Heather Maude, a South Dakota ranching family facing up to 10 years in prison for simply maintaining a fence that was built before they were born. Given that the Maudes a...

Our health care system sucks, and we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fix it. Yet Republicans are promising to keep every penny of Medicaid and Obamacare. Meanwhile, district judges continue to halt the immigration agenda. So what are we accomplishing? We’re joined today by health care regulatory compliance expert Reg Hislop for an important health care discussion. Hislop notes that there...

We begin our discussion by noting that Trump is making a mistake signaling he will never ignore a court. It’s unsustainable when federal courts uphold most Democrat usurpations of power and then “veto” Republican efforts to rescind them. Next, we’re joined by Dr. Ryan Cole, famed Idaho pathologist, for a roundup of successes and failures of the medical freedom movement both in Idaho and nationally...

On this Tax Day, I explain why taxes are not the issue of our time. Due to withholdings, the progressive nature of the GOP tax cuts over the years, and the change in the politics of most wealthy people, we have no good move to make on taxes. Which is why spending cuts should be the bigger issue. Unfortunately, there is no plan to cut spending. I go through the fake nature of reconciliation, DOGE c...

We can’t have nice things. We’re getting hammered in Congress and the courts, thereby negating most of the good things Trump is seeking to accomplish in the executive branch. Thanks to the endless debt, we’re suffering a downturn, together with higher interest rates. We’re joined today by Tracy Shuchart, an economist and commodities expert, to separate fact from fiction in the financial markets. W...

Once again, the Freedom Caucus got rolled and agreed to pass the trashy Senate budget bill in return for yet another verbal promise to cut spending the next time. I discuss the details of Trump’s maneuvers on both trade and debt to show how he only pressures the right but not the RINOs. For the first time, I reveal my theory behind this inconsistency. Also, Con Inc. is gaslighting you about the st...

Trade is not the biggest problem; debt is our biggest problem. And the biggest driver of the debt is health care. We’re joined for a special episode by Twila Brase, president of Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom. She gives us a checklist of how to bring back patient-centered and affordable health care. We discuss everything from returning to catastrophic insurance, promoting direct primary care...

Some of you might be celebrating the Supreme Court nibbling around the edges of lower-court tyranny, but make no mistake about it, we will still have to litigate every deportation one by one … unless we delegitimize judicial supremacism. We’re joined today by constitutional law professor Josh Blackman, who makes it clear that judicial supremacism was something nobody accepted until Cooper v. Aaron...

Today, we delve into two applicable words from the English language to describe Con Inc. and its arguments for the mix of policies we are seeing from the Trump administration: sophistry and demagoguery. It is taking broad principles we all support in their proper spheres and misapplying them to the extreme to play on people’s emotions. Also, to the extent a trade deficit is a problem, it’s only be...

The gaping hole in Trump’s righteous agenda to re-privatize the economy is a plan to fully wean off corporate and individual welfare. Lawmakers are trying to find every way imaginable to solve the debt problem without actually cutting spending. I also offer some more thoughts on the trade plan and how Republicans are taking legitimate observations and applying them in the wrong way and to a degree...

The problem with Trump’s trade policies is that they can’t be viewed in a vacuum. Together with the debt and the failure to solve other problems, there is no broader economic vision. In today’s long and in-depth show, I explain when tariffs are appropriate and when not. Most of what ails us is due to other economic and domestic policies, and absent a fix for those problems, higher tariffs will not...

Republicans got crushed in last night’s elections as part of a broad, uniform pattern we are seeing everywhere. I explain how Republicans are repeating the same failed policy and electoral approach of 2017-2018, when we saw Republicans suffer all the liabilities of being in power but reap none of the benefits. Republicans need to develop a message and brand that is more than just fealty to Trump’s...

We begin today with a discussion about the special elections. Where was the focus on primaries to ensure we had better candidates? Also, I’m sick of hearing about judicial tyranny as if there’s nothing we can do about it. I prove that our founders never envisioned the executive branch would give force to judicial usurpations. Next, we’re joined by Mike Carter, producer for BlazeTV host Kevin Freem...

Sadly, nine years into Trump’s dominion and this supposed juggernaut of a MAGA movement, the RINOs are actually stronger than ever. Beginning in Florida, then moving to South Carolina and Idaho, I explain how RINOs are subverting Ron DeSantis’ agenda and fighting with Freedom Caucuses everywhere. Yet they are now able to do so without fear of reprisal because conservative media have distracted the...

The reactionary Right. That is the new threat to patriotic conservatives. I explain how those with no affirmative beliefs are undermining our ability to reclaim America because they only know how to critique the Left, but then, absent their own beliefs, land in the same place. One of the areas in which this is most prominent is the rise of the secular, anti-Israel right. We’re joined by Josh Hamme...

We begin today by going around the map in deep-red states to show how to many fake Republicans continue to run the states into the ground. If we are going to drain the swamp, Trump is going to have to start changing his endorsements so that we don’t continue sending the same special-interest Republicans to Washington and to state capitals. Nowhere is this more needed than in West Virginia. We’re j...

Recent special election losses should remind us that this degree of power Trump has is only temporary and must be used to its fullest extent. The courts continue to serve as a one-way ratchet against conservatives, and unless we stand up to judicial supremacism, we will be left with nothing by the time Democrats get back into power. One huge priority is election integrity. To that end, we’re joine...

How is it that we are five years post-COVID with zero action at the federal level and very little at the state level to redress the civil rights violations? I begin with a list of policies we must pursue in the states and Congress to make sure these abuses don’t happen again. Next, we’re joined by civil rights attorney Brian Festa of We the Patriots USA, who warns that these violations emanating f...
