Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

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.  Learn more about your ad choices.

First, we begin with an analysis of the presidential race. Republicans continue to fight yesterday’s battle and beat a dead horse by going after Biden, with zero plan to fight what is coming next. Moreover, nobody has a plan to fight the uniparty, of which Trump is clearly an ally. Has the system made peace with a Trump presidency? Next, we’re joined by Jill Hines, co-director of Health Freedom Louisiana, who was the lead plaintiff in Murthy v. Missouri, the government censorship case. We go through the appalling ruling, which essentially makes it impossible to sue the government for working with private companies to censor our views. Nonetheless, Jill, as a model activist, believes the group will make progress in additional lawsuits. Also, she is working on a litany of model legislation pertaining to medical freedom and the vaccines, and she has already made enormous progress in Louisiana. She is the model of a stay-at-home mom activist who will build the blueprint for another 1776 revolution. Finally, I leave you with my annual July 4 message.  Learn more about your ad choices.

First, we begin today’s show with a breakdown of two terrible Supreme Court rulings on abortion. We are now losing both politically and legally. Barrett and Kavanaugh continue their hypocritical behavior on the issue of judicial standing and are overturning the Fifth Circuit with lightning speed while allowing the Ninth Circuit to force novel legal theories on a federal right to abortion in red states. Next, we’re joined by my colleague Steve Deace for an in-depth discussion of what we should and shouldn’t do following the Biden meltdown. Steve rebukes those on the Right who believe we can just sit back reactively and allow Democrats to reclaim control over the environment by swapping out Biden. We need to force a vote on Biden’s competence via Chip Roy’s resolution today so that we now control the narrative they are using. We need to beat them to the punch. He also believes that Trump would be well served to engage in presidential-style events to acculturate the public to the idea that he is inevitable and will be commander in chief.

We all grew up with Rush pining for the day we’d have a strong, bold leader who implements our agenda and moves the people and culture over to the right while doing it. Well, this is exactly what DeSantis has done in Florida, which is probably why Rush poignantly mentioned DeSantis on his final broadcast as “the closest thing” to a Limbaugh graduate. I go through the economic news of Florida to show how this is the best example in our lifetime of a paradigm for a strong, sovereign, and prosperous red state that could potentially go toe-to-toe with the federal government. Next, I show how the GOP agrees with the anarcho-tyranny of the Left by continuing to push weak-on-crime bills. DeSantis just vetoed a particularly bad bill passed by his legislature. At the same time, Biden is allowing in radical Islamists from countries that actually repress Sharia law. We need to make red states autonomous. Otherwise, every state will look like Europe and America’s big cities, with roving bands of Islamists attacking Jewish neighborhoods.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

First, I discuss the most important policy Trump can announce at the debate: “No border, no budget.” He must call upon Speaker Johnson to block the budget funding unless lawmakers agree to allow state-based deportations. Next, we’re joined by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) for a freewheeling discussion on what to expect on the back side of the GOP electoral victory. Nothing will change unless the people set the expectations now before the GOP leaders can employ their failure theater. Chip also discusses his fight against the demonic effort to draft women in the latest NDAA. We must make the demands precisely when and where we have the leverage. The good congressman also notes how Democrats continuously succeed in cementing their agenda in a durable way because Republicans always adopt the posture of preserving the key elements of the worst policies from the prior administration. Finally, we discuss the need to change our modus operandi on tax policy and not give the corporations selective tax cuts while they turn around and enforce cultural Marxism and government-sponsored economic monopolies on the rest of us.  Learn more about your ad choices.

First, I delve into Trump’s shocking embrace of the Mitt Romney “staple green cards to diplomas” policy. This proposition takes two of the worst policies and puts them together at the worst possible time — when we need an immigration moratorium and when we need to disempower corrupt universities. Next, I’m joined by Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, who discusses his new lawsuit against Pfizer alleging fraud and civil conspiracy. His lawsuit very tightly and brilliantly uses the state consumer protection law to trap Pfizer based on its own statements about safety, efficacy, and use of the vaccine for pregnant woman. He believes this is the most auspicious angle to finally get judicial discovery over a host of fraudulent behavior on Pfizer’s part that will likely open up legal avenues to finally take down its dangerous operation. This is why state attorney general offices are so important and why we need to use red-state legal systems the same way Alvin Bragg and blue-state prosecutors are doing against Trump.

Of all social trends, the only positive momentum we have now is the movement in red states to uproot the rainbow jihad. Public opinion is now moving back our way, but there is an effort within the Republican Party to short circuit our success and limit our policy victories to merely protecting female sports. We’re joined today by Joy Pullmann, executive editor at the Federalist, who is out with the most important book on this issue: “False Flag: Why Queer Politics Mean the End of America.” She explains why transgenderism is not a standalone issue and is rooted in the spectrum of feminism that embodies everything from gay marriage to eradicating traditional gender roles and norms. Unfortunately, too many people on the Right are only fighting transgenderism, ironically, because they want to protect Title IX, which itself is the forerunner to this entire agenda. Pullmann makes a passionate case for conservatives to fully uproot the entire premise of feminism and the rainbow agenda, and why even those who are not particularly religious should share that goal.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, I give a postmortem not just on the Bob Good race but on a decade worth of negative efficacy of the Trump shot that was supposed to vaccinate us against the establishment swamp. Make no mistake: Trump is crushing the Right in a way nobody else can, and I prove it with a wealth of information on election outcomes. Nonetheless, God is probably doing us a favor by cursing our work at a federal level because it’s a lost cause. At the same time, we are making strides in red states. Last night, we won more seats in Oklahoma. I discuss a huge political opportunity against the green energy agenda in South Dakota as well. However, we will need people with courage to keep Trump from doing to our state endeavors what he has done nationally.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today, I explain how the corporate interests are ensuring that, even if Trump wins, not much will change except for a couple of tax issues. It’s not just about the endorsements. The party has not and will not change at a federal level. Part of making red states sovereign is ensuring that the federal government doesn’t control western lands. We’re joined today by Utah state Rep. Phil Lyman, who is challenging liberal Gov. Spencer Cox in the GOP primary. Cox is a global warming Republican who supports illegal immigration and the transgender agenda. Lyman has fought the federal government on its death grip over Utah’s lands. He warns that thanks to Gov. Cox there is nothing standing in the way of the feds forcing rural Americans into cities and then locking up the state’s water, roads, and natural resources. We also discuss how Utah has become a magnet for illegal aliens and the need to make Utah’s convention model great again.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It doesn’t have to be this way. If we actually had a focused movement involved in red-state public affairs, we’d change the country overnight. On Saturday, Indiana pastor Micha Beckwith shocked the political establishment by beating the party apparatus, which has the backing of Trump to secure the nomination for lieutenant governor. He joins us to discuss how he was propelled by churchgoing delegates who were highly engaged and sick and tired of a red state being governed like California. We engage in a free-wheeling conversation about how pastors need to motivate their congregants to get on the political playing field, the need to inject more godly virtue into an increasingly secularized right wing, and how his voice can serve as a beachhead for our values in a state that has been devoid of conservatives. Most of all, Beckwith’s victory proves once again that switching primaries to conventions is the only way to break the uniparty.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
