Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

The AI "boom" is a scam that is destroying America’s land, energy, economy, and manufacturing future — while crowding out the AI we actually need. Today, I cut through the "chat slop" to define what AI actually is — and what it isn't. I break down the critical difference between the insolvent, land-destroying pursuit of artificial general intelligence and the real, low-latency "edge computing" that could actually rebuild American manufacturing, revolutionize agriculture, and strengthen our military. Discover why the current AI framework is the new "green energy" scam, how it threatens local zoning and power grids, and why true Austrian economics demands that we pull the plug on these government favors before the bubble bursts. The next tech revolution is the form of AI nobody is discussing. LLM chat slop, on the other hand, is the new mRNA and green energy.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Obamacare was sold as affordable health care. Instead, it gave America higher costs, less freedom, insurance monopolies, hospital consolidation, and endless bureaucracy. I’m joined by health care freedom advocate Twila Brase to mark the grim anniversary of Obamacare and explain how America’s health care system was broken on purpose — and what it would take to fix it. From exploding premiums and denied care to Medicaid distortion, violation of privacy and dignity, private practice collapse, and the rise of corporate medicine, this episode exposes the truth behind why health care in America is more broken than ever. But there is a way out. Twila reveals the ultimate free-market fix: the "Three C's" (cash, catastrophic coverage, and charity). It’s time to defund the middleman, restore price transparency, and take our medical freedom back. Plus, I call out the GOP establishment for abandoning health care in favor of generative AI, data centers, the surveillance state, and corporate handouts. Learn more about your ad choices.

We are living under a judicial oligarchy, and it’s getting worse, not better. In this episode, I break down the two massive roadblocks destroying any chance at restoring our republic: Judicial supremacism and a GOP acting as controlled opposition. Constitutional law professor Josh Blackman joins the show to expose the dangerous myth that federal judges have absolute, final authority over the executive and legislative branches. He shows how the Supreme Court is out to lunch and why even higher-court victories do not change the landscape. Later, I analyze the brutal reality of recent special elections. Why are Republicans getting crushed with independent voters? And why is Trump acting as a "defeat mechanism" by endorsing liberal, establishment Republicans in state legislatures over proven conservatives? It's time to face the hard truth about the uniparty.

Is the federal government too far gone? In this pivotal episode, I sit down with Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) to discuss why he is leaving Congress to run for Texas attorney general — and why this is undeniably the most important race of the entire election cycle. As the Uniparty continues to surrender ground in Washington, D.C., Chip Roy lays out a fiery, uncompromising blueprint for how the largest red state in America can interpose against federal overreach, secure the border against the next wave of illegal immigration, and fight back against the creeping threat of radical Islam, Antifa, globalist and foreign land-grabs, and DOJ weaponization. Texas is the largest red state, and attorney general is the office that stands at the nexus of the anarcho-tyranny threatening to turn red America into the same hell that has already engulfed blue states.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The 2024 mandate was clear: Stop inflation and secure the border. Instead, the GOP has squandered every leverage point, leaving Americans paying the price. Today, I expose how President Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) have completely mishandled the economy, DHS funding, and the utilization of legislative and budget leverage points. While Democrats manage to fund their priorities with control of zero branches of government, conservatives are left dealing with massive inflation, mass migration, and a surveillance state. I explain how the "America First" agenda was abandoned, how the 2023 House majority was squandered, and why the establishment Right blocked viable alternatives like Ron DeSantis. It is finally time to abandon the uniparty and build a new, independent conservative movement focused on human flourishing and true free markets. Learn more about your ad choices.

Are we sleepwalking into an economic disaster? I’m joined by economist and energy expert Tracy Shuchart, who breaks down why America's fragile, debt-ridden economy will struggle to sustain a $200 billion war with Iran. We explain why, despite the good intentions of dealing with Iran, the U.S. is not economically prepared for war — and how oil shocks, stagflation, and runaway debt could trigger a financial crisis. Tracy makes the point that we should focus more on oil refineries and pipelines, which are even more important than increased oil drilling. Separately, I tackle how Trump is both retreating on immigration and making the issue unpopular. Also, he is focused on the wrong issues with AI and is more interested in building the surveillance state than a healthy, broad-based economy.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Republicans are failing us on Big Tech, the surveillance state, privacy, land ownership, quality of life, and transhumanism, and they are allowing Democrats to win on those issues. From Meta’s smart glasses with facial recognition to mass surveillance through FISA, flock cameras, and AI data centers, this episode uncovers how privacy, property rights, and human freedom are being eroded in real time. But it goes deeper than politics. This is about the collapse of the free market, the rise of crony capitalism, and how the misuse and gaslighting of generative artificial intelligence is degrading human intelligence, productivity, and quality of life. For the first time, I share my theory on why the free market has broken down thanks to government and stock valuations and how that has led to a generation of new technology resulting in human decline rather than flourishing.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We will never live a prosperous and affordable life unless we end inflationary debt, and we will not end inflationary debt until we deal with the welfare and health care programs. Today I’m joined by Cindy Byrd, the Oklahoma state auditor who is running for lieutenant governor on a platform of ending fraud that is driving inflation in federal programs administered by the states. She exposed the fraud before Nick Shirley exposed the Somali day-care scandal. Byrd is calling for access to all eligibility criteria and for Republicans to have the guts to actually verify and remove those not eligible for these programs. We also discuss a vision for red states on proper land use, economic development that works for the people, cutting education fraud to lower property taxes, and a vision on health care that we desperately need.  Learn more about your ad choices.

At a time of record losses in farming, red-state governments are destroying farmland with solar, wind, carbon capture, data centers, Section 8 overdevelopment, and everything other than what land should be used for.  I also discuss how the dumb housing bill and HUD’s obsession with housing supply will culturally gerrymander red states. I’m joined by Indiana state Rep. Andrew Ireland (R), the youngest and most conservative member of the Indiana legislature, who is waging a battle against the forces of special interests gobbling up Indiana’s land. He explains how state Republicans have turned the land into a parking lot for special interests because they prioritize fake GDP numbers over authentic quality of life. We also discuss other challenges to red states like Indiana, such as Republicans lacking the will to combat blue cities, crime, and illegal immigration.  Learn more about your ad choices.

America’s founders never intended the Constitution to become a suicide pact that protects those who openly support our enemies. In this explosive episode, I break down why America’s immigration policies, political leadership, and legal system are failing to confront the growing threat of Islamist ideology inside the United States. I also explain the famous line from Justice Robert Jackson that “the Constitution is not a suicide pact” and why that warning may be more relevant today than ever. This conversation raises one of the most urgent questions facing America today: Can a nation survive if its laws are used against its own survival? I also warn how there is zero plan to deal with the Islamic issue even after the past two weeks of attacks. Trump is focused on the sophistry of the SAVE Act and trying to reauthorize the very FISA program that persecuted him.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
