Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

What if I told you we already have the raw materials for a new party without having to go through the insurmountable process of getting a new party line on the ballot? I’m joined today by Andy Roth, president of the State Freedom Caucus Network, who paints a vivid description of how the Freedom Caucuses are serving as a branded movement to upend the uniparty in what should be red states. Liberal Republicans are now retiring because Freedom Caucus members have made their grift feel so miserable. Andy’s only regret is that he didn’t do this earlier. The key is that the members are all principles and focused on issues, not personality and drama. You can have a big tent for various issues, but you need a core that is not tainted by foreign influence or grifting personalities. Separately, I discuss how to win on abortion and how Florida polling proves the point.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What happens when you build a mindlessly populist movement unmoored from any principles or strategic goals? Well, you get what we have today, which is elements of MAGA embracing abortion, Bruce Jenner, Log Cabin Republicans, and now even Hamas. I delve into Tucker Carlson’s complete conversion into a Hamas-promoting leftist – all to politically own one Jew he happens to dislike. We don’t have time for this nonsense. I give the Biblical analogy from Kings 12 with Jeroboam and Rehoboam on how a movement built on just rote opposition without any affirmative beliefs winds up being worse than the movement it is critiquing in the first place.

We always hear the conservative noise machine industry tell us that unless we vote Republican every other November, we will be stuck with socialism. Well, I’ve got news for you: We already have permanent socialism, and merely focusing on the topline ballot of the general election will not fix that. The only way to end the venture socialism from which we already suffer is for states to begin adopting gold and silver currency. Today, I offer a broad presentation of economic and labor data proving that we now face a permanent recession in the job market as consumer prices, credit, and debt skyrocket to record levels. These problems are much greater than the ability of any one general election — even with good Republican candidates — to solve. We need to stop with the distractions and begin fighting as if our lives are on the line ... because they actually are.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The solar eclipse will only last a few minutes, but the mooning we have incurred from Trump’s political eclipse has distracted us for eight years. I address Trump’s ridiculous comments on abortion today and demonstrate how they are emblematic of a broader problem in that he doesn’t believe or understand a lot of our values. Therefore, at the first sight of political trouble, he tosses the issue overboard. It would sure help if Trump would at least parlay his retreat on abortion into a fight for bodily autonomy against the biomedical security state. But alas, because of his mooning on the vaccine issue, no amount of information that comes out about the deadly shots is moving the needle on the policy front. I detail some of the new studies on the shots showing a shocking percentage of people suffered cardiac damage and that the damage is long-lasting.  Learn more about your ad choices.

From the old GOP to the Tea Party and then MAGA, our movement has constantly been hijacked by a controlled opposition designed to subvert and blunt our momentum on issues. I explain how the "Bruce Gender" movement is designed to slow our natural momentum we have against the Rainbow Jihad. So, what is the solution? There is no better illustration of a movement pursuing affirmative good than the South Carolina Freedom Caucus. We are joined today by Evan Newman, the state director, who gives us a seminar on how to build a smart, principled legislative caucus to completely expose and defeat the uni-party. He recounts all of this year’s successes and how the Freedom Caucus now has challengers to roughly half of the mainstay Republicans. The Freedom Caucus focuses on quality over quantity, ensures members are actively fighting to move the Overton window, and then openly campaigns across the state against the GOP. If we replicate this for a few cycles in other red states, we will have a different country. In other words, it doesn’t have to be this way.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We turn to foreign policy today, first, to discuss the latest effort from Speaker Johnson (R-La.) to push Ukraine funding, unfortunately with the blessing of Trump. I contrast the lack of courage on the Right to influence Trump with the success of the radical Left and Islamic organizations that are successfully taking an anti-Israel president and making him even more diabolically opposed to the Jewish state. We’re joined by Yoram Hazony, an Israeli leader in the global national conservatism movement, to summarize the state of affairs in Israel six months after the October 7 attack. He warns that Israel is under attack on multiple fronts and cannot afford to bend to Biden’s will. He explains how the radical Left’s marriage with Islamic organizations has created a political juggernaut within the Democrat Party. Yoram, who is related to a hostage in Gaza and also has two sons fighting in the IDF, discusses the political sentiments of Israelis on the war when everyone has skin in the game. What can we as Americans learn from Israel’s dire predicament?   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

First, we start out noting the progress we are making pushing immigration enforcement in red states and how we could do so much more if we only stayed focused. We need big solutions to serious problems. One area of vital importance in which we have yet to succeed in pushing red states into righteousness is interposing against FBI tyranny. We’re joined today by FBI whistleblower Steve Friend to explain his bill, Tennessee SB 2804/HB2912, which would give local sheriffs and police chiefs veto power over which cases their officers can work with the FBI. His bill was shot down, but if we push similar bills elsewhere, we will gain momentum. Friend gives the proper way to push this idea with local Republican officials. Friend himself is now suffering retaliation from the FBI, as the agency pulls his credit records for no reason. We also discuss how millions of liberals who believe our speech and beliefs are criminal are now calling the FBI to get them to investigate protected speech under the First Amendment. We can’t simply wish this problem away, nor can we meme or grift off it. We must push for a robust safety net in local law enforcement to protect civil liberties.   Learn more about your ad choices.

How have we gotten to the point where we are society of nothing but Neanderthals with iPhones? On today’s special show, I identify the war on femininity, womanhood, and motherhood as the source for the breakdown in marriage and fertility rates, which is ultimately responsible for the collapse of our society. It begins with the way we raise our daughters to be just like men in all ways while stifling their femininity, as well as their innate desire for motherhood. The cause of the decline in marriage is not primarily the result of economic policies, because research shows “family-friendly” economic policies have not fixed one iota of this problem. It’s all cultural. As conservatives, we might oppose transgenderism de jure, but are we subtly accepting gender-bending in our own communities and even homes? I explain why the lack of proper rearing of today’s girls is largely responsible for the mental health crisis. At the political level, it will continue to lead to young girls from conservative families leaving the fold.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today, I make the case that it’s better to get rid of Speaker Johnson (R-La.) even if that paralyzes the House for the remainder of the year. Johnson has already destroyed our leverage on any issue, so now the only thing he can do is pass bad bills. Unless we pressure Trump to change his mind, Johnson is about to pass a Ukraine funding bill with Trump’s blessing. Where are the MAGA influencers and Tucker speaking out against this? I explain why a second term of Trump will not change anything, precisely because his biggest supporters refuse to use their ties to him to move him to the right. Next, I go through the momentum of the Freedom Caucuses in states like Wyoming to show that if we only focused on state issues and local primaries, we could change the party in one election cycle.  Learn more about your ad choices.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Today, I paint a vivid picture of how a focused movement would pressure red-state governments to employ effective policies and messaging to push back against the federal government on major policies, such as the FBI, illegal immigration, and green energy. If we don’t immediately ramp up state enforcement of illegal immigration, the gangbangers will transform even rural counties. I go through the exact legal and political arguments that must be made in support of state enforcement. Blue states should serve as an early warning system for what red states will deal with tomorrow. I also call upon red states to pre-emptively pass laws refusing to recognize any green cards Biden plans to hand out to the invaders. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
