Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

We begin this post-Labor Day home stretch by cautioning about the need to avoid a sudden loss in November with no preparation or contingency. I also analyze Trump’s recent opposition to Florida’s Amendment 4 but unfortunate support for Amendment 3, which demonstrates that we get exactly what we fight for – no more, no less. Next, I’m joined by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), who is laying down the gauntl...

Too many people are making every important political debate about the decision of whether to vote for a flawed Trump over Harris. Today, I offer a unique insight into Trump’s betrayal of the life cause. We need to divorce the strategic decision of whom to vote for from our broader beliefs and activism. One can still reluctantly vote for Trump but not excuse his nonsense and, in fact, double down o...

We begin today by showing how all of the pro-life Republicans who screwed us on every issue are now screwing us on the abortion issue as well. Outside Florida, there is no organized opposition to these abortion amendments among state party leaders. Next, we’re joined by my friend Andy Fox, who just won a seat on the Knox County Commission, for a fun discussion on how to run for local office. We di...

The bad news is that Harris is up in the polls, Republicans are down a lot in Senate races, and Democrats have tended to outperform their polling. The good news, however, is that Harris clearly has not gotten a bounce out of the convention and is now trying to run away from the open-border and Green New Deal policies. What this all demonstrates is that if we can make the election about the issues,...

We begin today’s discussion by noting the importance of RFK’s speech on chronic illness and the need for red states to protect independent local farmers and ranchers. Next, we’re joined by Utah state Rep. Trevor Lee (R), who discusses the legislature’s recent reforms to the ballot initiative process. Soros and his allies are using direct democracy and oligarchy, which not coincidentally tend to me...

The more Trump falls behind in the race, the more he seems inclined to move to the left and blame his electoral problems on conservatives rather than his own image. I go through some of his recent lurches to the left — not for the purpose of saying to stay home but to begin building a parallel movement to fix the GOP beginning today. Voting for Trump over Harris is not mutually exclusive with rema...

We begin today’s discussion with a postmortem on the Democratic National Convention and how Trump’s challenge going forward is to make sure Harris is pegged as the incumbent. So far, Harris has successfully painted him as owning the status quo. I also delve into the partial victory at the Supreme Court on state requirements for proof of citizenship before voting. Once again, Amy Coney Barrett — an...

Republicans lack effective communicators who can use a wealth of data, narratives, and real-life stories showing how harmful the Biden and Harris policies have been to Americans. I begin today by showing how pathetic the Republican Party is. At a time when Democrats are warning, from their perspective, that Republicans might turn America into Florida, we can’t even get the Florida GOP to support D...

We finally have good news to share! First, we begin with a discussion about ranked-choice voting in Alaska and how red states could become blue if we don’t do surgery now. Next, I give an overview of the Florida school board races to demonstrate that DeSantis has made greater strides in winning back large metro areas for Republicans, but that momentum will stall unless the party changes its image....

Rather than focusing on the stupid Democrat convention, conservatives should be strategizing about what looks to be an impending election loss. They must figure out how to make a big play to change this election while also building an insurance policy in red states. I continue our discussion from last week on how new data is reinforcing what we’ve seen in recent elections, with Republicans getting...

For years, all we got with Republicans was the promise of “the lesser of two evils.” Meanwhile, things always get worse, and now Republicans can’t even win any more because the voters sense a lack of sincerity. There has to be a point when we finally pull the plug on “vote Republican no matter what.” In my view, that line has been drawn in the Utah gubernatorial race. We’re joined by Utah state Re...

We need to diversify our political investments just like we would financial investments. We need to understand the limitations of Trump to even win, much less change things, as well as our limited ability to alter the outcome of the presidential election at an individual level. However, when it comes to red state local and statewide races, we can accomplish so much more. I also explain why I’m sup...

We begin by discussing the need for conservatives to focus on down-ballot races and other important action items that will determine whether we preserve red-state America regardless of what occurs at the top of the ballot. We’re joined today by James Uthmeier, chief of staff to Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is running the Florida Freedom Fund to prevent Florida from becoming California. He warns that Ame...

Right now Trump is not winning because the focus is not on the critical issues. Today, I paint a vivid picture of how Republicans can make the entire buildup to early voting about the cost of living, but especially about terrorists, murderers, rapists, gangsters, and fentanyl traffickers flooding our communities. If Trump were to ask Speaker Johnson to convene a special session of Congress during...

Today, I issue a clarion warning that unless Trump ups his game and we craft a better message, Harris will win, possibly overwhelmingly. I provide an analysis of how Trump woefully underperformed in suburbs even of small to mid-sized cities in red states in 2020. I go state by state to show how it wasn’t just a question of cheating in blue states that made the difference. Trump underwhelmed his 20...

We begin today with a discussion of Trump’s press conference. It embodied his floundering in terms of both policy and electoral viability. The campaign badly needs a shake-up if Trump hopes to win. His refusal to even commit to opposing abortion through birth in Florida is also stupefying. Next, we’re joined by Texas family doctor Kat Lindley, president of the Global Health Project, who gives us a...

We begin today by pointing out that Trump is not acting like he wants to win this election. Commensurate with how much you believe this is a must-win election is your obligation to demand a course correction on this campaign. Next, we’re joined by Tracy Shuchart, a financial and commodities expert, to do a deep dive on our economic health. We cover everything from the recent yen crisis and electri...

We begin today’s discussion with a review of the Missouri primaries and how we will continue to lose the big primaries until we change to caucuses and conventions. We badly need new Republicans to make red states red so we can implement big ideas. Perhaps the most important idea is from BlazeTV host Kevin Freeman, author of "Pirate Money." He is building a movement in the legislatures not only to...

Dems are willing to please their base even when it means risking electoral viability; will republicans and Trump fight for their base when it also happens to improve their electoral chances? Today, I explain that Democrats picked Tim Walz because they are confident they can still win, so they felt it was worth pleasing their base. But how come we don’t have a Tim Walz in every red state? There is...

Everyone is on edge because the stock market is crashing, but let’s not forget that the stock market is all fake. The real economy has already crashed as a result of the Great Reset. The record consumer debt, anemic job growth outside government sectors, and public debt have created an unprecedented collapse that will intensify regardless of which fake numbers are posted at the Nasdaq every day. T...

Liberals utilize talking points in pursuit of fixed objectives; conservatives utilize ever-changing objective in pursuit of cheap talking points. I offer several examples of this through the prism of primary results, some aspects of school choice, and support for subsidizing the child-care cartel. Next, I tackle the discussion of a male boxer pummeling a female. Conservatives are outraged about th...

The problem with our movement is that few people have skin in the game, and therefore most don’t even believe their own talking points. Today, I prove how so many who believe Trump must win at all costs are cheering on a campaign strategy that will ensure that Kamala becomes president. Too few people are willing to put their money where their mouth is, such as our guest today. I’m joined by Dr. Ki...

Conservative media figures who were in a coma during 2022 and during the presidential and congressional primaries are suddenly realizing that Trump is veering left and could lose the election anyway. Today, I give a long view of how we got to this point but also a way forward. Now is the time to push Trump on message before it’s too late. But concurrently, all those organizations involved in Proje...

First, we begin with a presentation of the scope of terrorists, gangbangers, drunk drivers, and child molesters coming over the border. Republicans will never get a better issue and better timing to drive a budget fight, and the way to do it is to cancel the August recess. Meanwhile, while letting terrorists through our border, the Biden administration is collaborating with Hezbollah overseas. We’...

How is it that we have endless malaise, a border invasion, a terrible economy, and Biden siding with terrorists, yet Republicans seem incapable of sealing the deal? I go through polling showing Republicans getting crushed down-ballot, which signals concern for the presidential election. It doesn’t have to be this way, but it will continue until we change the GOP. And speaking of changing the GOP,...
