Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Last week, we experienced a shocking emotional roller coaster that everyone in this business said would serve as a turning point for conservatives. Well, now is the time to get back on the playing field and channel those emotions into the very policies that led up to this moment. Given the news about transgenderism once again playing a role in a heinous murder, I offer a 10-point plan for every red state to adopt to ensure that the trans agenda is uprooted from our midst. You'd by shocked at how few red states have adopted most of the legislative ideas on my list. In general, we cannot allow ourselves to be consumed by aimless tweeting and hating without directing those emotions to actually defeating the Left. Not only is it unhealthy and ungodly, it's also shortsighted, because if we don't build a red-state fortress for ordered liberty, we will be left defenseless in a few years when Democrats come back at us with a vengeance.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week's horrific assassination should serve as a cathartic moment for conservatives. However, if we continue this disconnect between digital rhetoric and actual policy accomplishments, nothing will change. We must decide once and for all if we are a movement or an industry – if we will elevate monetizing TikTokers or intrepid statesmen? I list a series of 15 policy issues where the online Right claims to be emphatically on one side, but its organizations, candidates, and often Trump himself are actually on the other side. We are all decrying social media's influence on people like the Charlie Kirk murder suspect, but then why are the same politicians promoting AI data centers? Why is the Trump administration illegally keeping TikTok online? We keep ignoring primaries and elevating the same candidates who accomplish the exact opposite of the Twitter rhetoric!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this grim anniversary of 9/11, we are dealing with our own internal version of that fateful day. It is now clear that we have a pervasive enemy within that is every bit as committed to attacking — in the most literal sense — our ideals and our people as the Islamists were 24 years ago. I offer my own thoughts on how Charlie Kirk was unique in his generation and was one of the few substantive and soulful people who became famous on the Right. This is why we must have a substantive and soulful response to this horrific assassination in a way that will either root out the problem or at least force national divorce. We're joined by counterterrorism expert Kyle Shideler, who has been warning about the growing threat of well-trained Marxists who are trying to actually kill political opponents. What is the solution? We need red states to build permanent security apparatuses to go after these organizations even as the DOJ fails to do so. Kyle hopes the DOJ will finally treat these left-wing gun clubs and militias the same way they hyped up right-wing groups for years. He is concerned, though, that the political will on the Right will not translate into bureaucratic competence and capabilities. We also discuss the power of the Muslim Brotherhood and the increasing unity between the communists and Islamists.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We all warned during COVID that the technocracy would force us into transhumanism. It will take away our food, energy, and land and get us addicted to cyber synthetic stupidity that will ensure we own nothing and are surveilled like the bugs we will eat. Well, I'm here to tell you that this is what is happening under our noses with the government-tech collusion on AI data centers and deployment of AI, which is useless to humans but only effective in making us even lazier, more depressed, and less sentient. I once again show how the entire enterprise is only being kept afloat unnaturally by government, as the technology fails to deliver on its promises. At the same time, it is creating a crisis of loneliness, screen addiction, and an entire generation who can't think for themselves. Make no mistake: The AI data center agenda is the new green energy and COVID all in one, except it is much more dangerous and dressed up in a fictitious display of growth, progress, deregulation, and abundance, while doing the opposite.   Learn more about your ad choices.

I begin by offering thoughts on Israel's strike against Hamas in Qatar and how it should be a warning for us to divest from the Muslim Brotherhood. Next, I discuss how the horrific murder of Iryna Zarutska provides us with a chance to reset the baseline on criminal justice policy. The focus must be on locking up more violent career criminals, especially the criminally insane, and reforming the way degrees of crime are categorized. I offer data you probably never heard that shows how we arrest only a fraction of the worst offenders in each crime category, and only an infinitesimal number results in people serving meaningful prison sentences. If we actually convicted just the people who commit the crimes that we all agree should result in prison time, the prison population would necessarily have to grow.  Then again, if we actually did this for a few years, crime would plummet as a result of the deterrent Learn more about your ad choices.

Never before have we had so many media figures on the Right so emphatically telegraphing their desire for certain policies, yet never before have we failed so much to achieve them. I use vaccine mandates and crime as two of many examples of how MAGA influencers claim to support an agenda, but then Trump comes in to undermine the policy outcomes. Trump is now dumping on Florida for getting rid of vaccine mandates. Meanwhile, he continues to endorse every single RINO against every candidate who has implemented MAGA's dream policies, including the Florida dream team. Susie Wiles is setting up shop in Florida and trying to return the state to pre-DeSantis special interest politics. Finally, I discuss the murder of Iryna Zarutska and how many of those on the Right outraged by the murder were either silent or on the other side of a decade-long debate over criminal justice, including when Trump sided with the bad guys.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, I prove definitively how the White House AI meeting with Bill Gates and every top transhumanist, Big Tech guru was not just about pleasantries and burying the hatchet. It is about placing our entire economy in the hands of a dangerous asset bubble that could not persist without government favors. They articulated a vision of AI that is fundamentally in conflict with everything Trump's supporters ever argued, yet they all remain silent. What is the plan? Relatedly, I discuss the latest economic news and how the White House is gaslighting those suffering into thinking the economy is really humming, while breaking bread with MAGA's enemies, reminiscent of the pigs meeting with the farmers at the end of Orwell's "Animal Farm."

First, we discuss Florida's exciting plan to finally rid us of the stain of vaccine mandates. I discuss the moral, legal, and political importance of this decision and how medical freedom might be our most promising success in an otherwise bleak era. And speaking of bleak, we're joined by Tracy Shuchart, macro-economic expert and commodity guru, to offer a financial checkup on our economy. She vividly explains the stagflation trap, where the government and central banks are running out of tools to juice up a sluggish economy and how every tool will cause even more inflation. She interprets the signals from the gold, silver, and bond markets, which the politicians are ignoring at their own peril. We also discuss how our government is misallocating capital to AI data centers rather than to the very energy infrastructure that is needed to power them. Tracy is concerned about the declining energy and farming infrastructure and is predicting higher prices.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin with a deep discussion on how Con Inc. continues to congratulate itself for incremental results … in yesterday's battles, while ignoring the more dire ones in front of us today. This ties into the economy, where we have the administration continuing to misdiagnose the housing crisis as a supply issue when in fact the opposite is true. The government plans to double down on all of the asset-juicing policies that got us into this mess. The debt is so bad that the global bond markets are rebelling against governments and central banks because they know that the debt has become a financial juggernaut. So now that we are in financial checkmate, our government is trying to gaslight us into believing that AI will be a savior of the economy, which is why the administration is attempting to create the mother lode of all asset bubbles to try to solve everything it did wrong with the previous bubbles.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Now that summer is over and Congress is back, what is the Republicans' raison d'être? Where is their vision to improve the economy? What is the plan to accomplish any campaign promise? I go through numerous cases on immigration, social issues, and tariffs to show how the courts are mowing down every last accomplishment. On the economy, not only do Republicans not have a plan, Trump continues to say prices are down. I explain how Republicans will get slaughtered in the midterms if they continue to gaslight on the economy. Meanwhile, there is no plan to get in better Republicans in the primaries, as RINOs continue to thwart Trump and get away with it. Also, there is more news on AI being a bubble and hype, yet the government continues to give the industry special favors.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We all railed against the artificially created asset bubbles that have destroyed affordability and upward mobility. Yet every policy Republicans seem to pursue has doubled down on those same factors. I do a quick roundup of economic news and news on data centers to show how we are pouring lighter fluid on a raging dumpster fire of an economy that Republicans claim is a “golden era.” We're joined by Melody Wright, a housing and mortgage expert, who is warning of the imminent collapse of the housing market. She explains unequivocally how the housing crisis is absolutely not the result of a supply issue, and in fact, the opposite is true. It was created by debt slavery induced by government incentives and interventions. We also tie in the housing crisis to the AI data centers to show how they continue to inflate bubbles and crush landowners rather than allowing the economy to reset.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The Minnesota trans-identifying shooter is part of a dangerous trend of psychosis among those pumped with chemical castration drugs. Conservatives must use this opportunity to ban all forms of castration, not just for children but for adults as well. At the same time, we must remember that transgenderism flows directly from Obergefell and the false concept of a same-sex marriage. We're joined by Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel, who believes his client, Kim Davis, is on the cusp of forcing the Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell. We discuss the legal case for overturning the decision and why anyone who voted for the Dobbs opinion is bound to reverse this decision because Obergefell is even more legally indefensible than Roe v. Wade. We also discuss the need to build political momentum in the states and expose the travesty of same-sex adoptions so that we don't make the same mistakes we did with Dobbs — winning the legal fight while losing the political fight in the states.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Republicans got crushed in another deep-red district special election. They will continue to lose so long as they have no plan, vision, and message on how to bring down prices. The biggest cost to our national debt inflation and the individual pocketbook is health care. Republicans have lacked a vision on this issue for more than a decade. We're joined today by Brian Blase, president of the Paragon Health Institute, who is trying to provide that vision. He warns that there is a bipartisan effort to renew the Biden COVID credits that incentivize more fraud and grift in the medical insurance industry, create more inflationary debt, and disincentivize bringing down costs. We cover the gambit of health care problems and conservative solutions throughout the discussion. The bottom line is that Republicans need a vision on bringing down costs, busting up monopolies, and fostering choice and competition.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin today with a discussion of why the flag-burning issue is irrelevant at a time of economic collapse and shaky immigration policies. Trump has an opportunity to harness an auspicious economic message by getting rid of foreign worker and student visas, yet he is calling for more of the worst sorts of visas from the worst countries. We're joined by R.J. Hauman, founder of the National Immigration Center for Enforcement, for a state of the union on immigration enforcement. He expresses concern that too much of the DHS funding has gone toward “deportation theater” rather than creating a durable and efficient long-term deportation system. We also touch on the fact that lobbyists and special interests have a stranglehold on the administration and GOP and continue to push endless foreign workers at a time when it is so unpopular.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin today by pointing out how the very right-wingers we used to count on to fight against globalist monopolies, such as taking equity in Intel and promoting data centers, are now standing down because they rely on one man for political viability. Next, we're joined by South Dakota rancher Amanda Radke, who discusses the multifront war on ranchers by wind, solar, carbon capture, and data centers. Politicians like South Dakota Rep. Dusty Johnson (R) are trying to pass special favors for carbon capture and data centers. Not only are these propositions harmful in their own right, but as Amanda explains, they are taking critical farmland out of production. She paints a picture of what a true free-market land-use and agriculture policy looks like and how we need to end massive subsidies for big corporations that box out independent ranchers.  Learn more about your ad choices.

After today's show, you will fully understand why data centers are the most important issue of our time — and not in a good way. Weaving in my trip to beautiful Tucker County, West Virginia — ground zero for the rape of our mountains and farmland by Big Tech — I explain how conservative rural voters are being left in the dark and stripped of any legal authority to fight the data centers. Meanwhile, the data center model is already failing to produce results, yet is increasingly relying on shocking government tax favors and land-use rights. Republicans are actually worse on this issue than Democrats. Cloud storage for chat boxes is designed to turn humans into machines rather than using machines to benefit humans.

 Today, we replay our extra-long July Fourth show, with a fresh introduction that makes it more relevant today than last month. I tie in the lessons and ideals of the founding fathers to the time we are living in today. Weaving together the final thoughts on the budget reconciliation bill and judicial tyranny, I demonstrate how MAGA Inc. is subverting its own stated beliefs because it's easier to declare victory on false hope rather than actually fight for results. As I predicted, the Supreme Court ruling on universal injunctions did nothing to stop the judicial tyranny. I list six reasons why that ruling was subversive. Yet MAGA leaders continue to perpetuate the myth of judicial supremacism in the Constitution when it flies in the face of the entire principle we celebrate on July Fourth. We need to have a plan. MAGA Inc.'s plan is to grift on social media off fake victories. It is incumbent upon us to formulate a real plan — if not federally, at least in a few states. Learn more about your ad choices.

We're joined on today's special show by Craig Shapiro, a macroeconomic and investment strategist who is willing to call balls and strikes on political economy. He discusses Trump's campaign message and promise to rebalance our K-shaped economy to work more for Main Street. He shows how each thing this administration is doing is designed to benefit Big Tech and cronies over the forgotten man and small businesses. He also explains how the asymmetric economy has allowed us to avoid an official recession for years while most people continue to struggle in a silent depression. We cover everything from housing and inflation to credit and political economy. It is a very sobering conversation but one we need to hear if we want to avoid a complete socialist takeover in the next few elections. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A bigger concern than redistricting to eke out a few more seats in the hopeless federal uniparty fake fight is to actually make red states red. Today, I show a powerful contrast between Florida and every other red state in terms of executive enforcement of conservative policies. We're joined today by Noah Wall, president and founder of the State Leadership Initiative, who is focused on ridding red states of liberal agency heads and bureaucrats. He has published a report about over 20 national associations of state agency directors that set woke policies for red states and brainwash a lot of red-state agency heads into implementing blue-state policies. Wall is on a mission to make red states red again by withdrawing from these groups and establishing parallel associations that build a base of effective leaders to implement conservative policies in each state agency.

Trump's decision to highlight the D.C. crime bubble and deploy the National Guard provides him with a chance to actually bring back Reagan's views on crime. Sadly, Republicans have bought into the jailbreak agenda that is responsible for this crime wave. Today, I focus particularly on the problem of juvenile crime and the lack of deterrent. We're joined by crime expert Sean Kennedy, who explains how urban police departments like D.C. are downgrading and not recording crimes, thereby allowing public data to show a drop in crime, which conflicts with the reality on the streets. He explains how well-funded “right-leaning” groups take Soros cash to push weak-on-crime laws in red states while feigning outrage over Soros prosecutors pushing the same policies. Finally, I offer over a dozen ideas for red states to get tougher on crime.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We've been languishing through a zombie economy that is highly concentrated and asymmetrical for quite some time, but our guest today is predicting an official recession in the near future. We're joined today by investment manager Edward Dowd, co-founder of Phinance Technologies, for "a state of the union" of our economy. He explains why the only way to tame inflation will be a popping of the housing and stock market bubbles. He explains why he believes we are on the cusp of such a crash. We go through consumer debt, housing, gold, Bitcoin, and so much more to prove how we are living on the cusp of another reset opportunity. The question is whether this time will be different and the government will allow us to recover organically or whether it will continue printing money to create new artificial monopolies and asset bubbles. Finally, Dowd provides us with some very disturbing data on long-term disability in this country and what it means.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What we needed and were promised in this populist revolution was a party focused on God, real currency, landowners over corporate scavengers, and privacy and values over digital degenerates. Instead, Trump has ushered in a new era of pay-for-play corporate politics that is handing our economy to a handful of AI companies. And now, with the Nvidia chip deal, it even negates our national security. Meanwhile, Democrats are already planning the most aggressive tenure of control ever when they reclaim power. What will we have to show for our tenure of control by then other than negative efficacy? We also discuss the Republicans' duplicitous fight against D.C. crime while they continue to push for the very “criminal justice reform” that goes soft on juvenile criminals terrorizing the nation's capital. Finally, why is the Trump DOJ siding with Obama on a lawless visa program against American worker plaintiffs?   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How can you drain the swamp if we not only ignore the primaries but remain silent as Trump continues to endorse every RINO, even in the reddest states, and even those who subvert his agenda? I discuss how too many people are focusing on redistricting as the panacea, when in fact the problem is in primaries because many of the Trump-endorsed RINOs are refusing to draw better districts. Next, I offer some more thoughts on how demonic and unfeasible the data center dystopia is and how local grassroots continue to push back against it. Finally, we need leaders who will be honest about the economy and the affordability crisis and explain how in order to make life more affordable, we must unwind the very policies that have created asset bubbles in housing and the stock market. Unfortunately, because we have slept in primaries for 10 years, our politicians only respond to the special interests that benefit from the asset bubbles.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump promised to “re-privatize” the economy so that it reflects small businesses and the forgotten man. Instead, he is steering the economy to a handful of Big Tech companies more than his predecessor. Today, I show in vivid detail how Big Tech is getting special favors, including exceptions from tariffs, regulatory relief, federal land offers, federal tax credits, re-zoning favors, and state and local tax exemptions to promote the data center digital colonization of America that a free and fair market could never sustain. The government is digging us so deep into the pockets of these companies that once the data center bubble pops, it will be too big to fail and we will be stuck holding the bag. I contrast this model to the state of the economy for most Americans and small businesses, and the contrast could not be greater.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How is it that during the era of Trump and Con Inc. Twitter, we seem to embrace so many good ideas, and Trump even embarks on implementing some of them, yet over time we continue to slide backward? It's because there is no follow-through and the Left evolves to bigger playing fields. I explain the "small step forward, giant leap backward" dynamic in terms of immigration, crime, abortion, culture, techno-fascism from COVID, and digital currency. Also, what is the endgame of the AI data-center agenda? There is some good news, as local residents in some counties are successfully fighting back. Red-state land rights are the civil right of our time, and you should feel empowered that we could battle this all on the local level.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Imagine an economy dominated by one industry — AI — in which all of the growth comes from a few companies, yet they are yielding few jobs. Well, that is the economy we are living in today. The very deficit spending that has crushed affordability for consumers has propped up a handful of companies. Today, I explain how the AI data center economy is unnatural and only facilitated by government policies, but consumers will be left holding the bag when the bubble pops. Next, we're joined by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) from the road, who updates us on everything he's been working on — from the Texas floods and the spending bills to health care and immigration.  He explains how he has to balance fighting for liberty in a body with few Republicans who share our values. He also raises concerns about the fake economy in health care being modeled now in tech. Texas is one of the biggest targets for data centers gobbling up water during a time of drought. Finally, will Chip take his energy to state politics? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Trump promised to govern for the whole of the people rather than special interests. Sadly, this administration has become a conduit for Big Tech and every special interest under the sun. This is why the DHS is now fighting a bipartisan effort to block TSA from using your biometric information gathered at airports. Sadly, Republicans have no narrative on housing, health care, and inflation and are too busy claiming the economy is good. They also have no answer for judicial supremacism, which is worse than ever before. Finally, I update you on the latest fight with AI data centers and show how we could galvanize a bipartisan rebellion among the people if we had a party that wasn't bought out by special interests.

Trump promised to fight for the forgotten American rather than special interests, but 10 years later, he has now consolidated his mission behind Big Tech and its technochracy that is antithetical to the forgotten man. We begin by going through the employment and economic data and how the forgotten man is getting crushed while this administration gaslights people into thinking we are in a golden age. Next, we focus on how judicial supremacism is essentially grinding immigration enforcement to a halt. Finally, I show how every rural part of America is being colonized by digital dystopian monstrosities that are sucking out enough power to account for the needs of 1 million households. Trump's core voters are starting to fight back against these land-grabs, but where are the national voices? This is the next COVID Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It might be wise for Republicans to engage in redistricting, but no number of gerrymandered districts can keep the majority if they continue to gaslight the American people that the economy is in good shape. We're joined today by Amanda Goodall, a workforce intelligence analyst who goes by “the Job Chick” on social media, who warns that we are facing an unprecedented corporate revolution that is not working for American workers. She explains how the government employment numbers fail to reflect the reality that young workers are struggling to find jobs, existing workers are getting "raiseless" promotions, roles are being diluted, and the work environment is becoming less human. Amanda goes through different industries to explain the emerging trends and how AI is being used as an excuse to box out workers among corporations that don't feel the need to compete for labor. These are the vexing issues of our time, and the worst thing we can do is gaslight the public into thinking we are living in a golden era of economic dominance.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Con Inc. has a habit of complaining about an issue and then, when it comes time to actually effect change, its members are out to lunch or support leaders who are pushing the very policies causing the problems. We first discuss this in the context of culture and crime, but then move on to the economic grooming they are pushing. Just like the Biden White House, Trump and his supporters are using unreliable and antiquated economic data to prop up a fake economy. Today, I explain exactly why we have a fake and distorted economy that appears good at the macro level but only works for a few people. The Right claims to understand this but then continues supporting the very subsidies, debt, and market distortions that created it. Nowhere is this more evident than in housing. I explain how both parties continue to misdiagnose the housing crisis and are therefore proposing policies that fuel what created the asset bubbles.  Learn more about your ad choices.

It's almost completely out of the news, but ever since the Los Angeles riots on June 6, there have been sustained attacks on ICE every day, as part of a broader communist insurrection. Everything that the Left projected upon J6 that wasn't true in in fact happening with the attacks on ICE. We're joined today by Cam Higby, a young undercover journalist who captured much of the L.A. rioting that the media ignored. He is now in Portland, where dangerous communists continue to attack ICE. He notes how very few people are being arrested and how the feds are only narrowly charging those they do arrest. The insurrection continues without any deterrent, but Cam is committed to telling the story that would otherwise be erased from the public consciousness. Learn more about your ad choices.

Young people on the Right increasingly realize that the past 10 years were a waste of time and failed to stop the inexorable march into globalist techno-fascism that has destroyed our economic and social future. The problem is that this will just lead to political chemotherapy, where the young Right increasingly dabbles in dark ideas as a reactionary force that is not constructive to combatting the challenges of our time. Also, I show how MAGA Inc. has already quietly moved on to JD Vance as its leader, but the members won't publicly break with Trump on Epstein beyond a few days of complaining. Finally, every day we see more stories of how AI is oversold to the public, yet there are no effective leaders on the Right combatting it. Learn more about your ad choices.

We cannot wait until 2029 with a new Democrat president to somehow deal with political persecution when we have no tools in our arsenal. We must build for that today. Unfortunately, as Trump continues to make bad endorsements, we will be left with weak Republicans in red states to fight issues such as political weaponization. Moreover, we are not even changing things at the federal level. We're joined by former FBI whistleblower Steve Friend, who is warning that the FBI has not structurally changed its modus operandi. He observes how problematic personnel under Biden have been given promotions, the open-ended investigatory mandate has not been limited, and at the same time, none of the misdeeds under Obama and Biden have been punished. Absent federal reform, Friend is advocating that state governments condition their working relationship with the FBI to a framework in which elected sheriffs are in charge of task forces targeting people locally. Friend also warns about the use of AI to turbocharge the very federal entrapment schemes that the FBI was using under Biden.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We all swore we'd move away from Big Tech, the biosecurity state, land-grabs, and technocracy under Biden. Yet it is reaching an entirely new level under the Trump administration, and nobody on the Right seems to care. We're joined today by Patrick Wood, editor in chief of Technocracy, who breaks down the bad and the ugly of Trump's new AI action plan, which empowers the very tech companies building techno-fascism to control our economy. He warns that they plan to create their own power grid to control us with data centers and then export it to the world. Relatedly, these same entities pushed the stablecoin legislation to ensure that our economy runs on assets they control rather than real currency. Finally, we discuss how AI is not the answer for general intelligence and is failing to live up to its hype, yet the masters of the universe want to accelerate its control because it cements their power.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's right-leaning media has acculturated a generation of Republican voters to focus on vanity and everything they can't influence rather than virtue and what they actually can change. On today's action-packed show, we cover everything from AI data centers and the increasing cost of living to judicial supremacism and failed immigration enforcement. Meanwhile, Congress is worse than ever and adjourned early without addressing the judicial coup against sovereignty just so they can avoid dealing with the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. If we don't change our focus, we will be stuck with illusory victories, while the uniparty continues to rack up enduring victories.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today, I do a deep dive on all the harms of data centers. From sucking up our energy and water to national security and privacy issues, I debunk the case for new data centers. We are approaching artificial intelligence in the wrong way, opting for old-fashioned cloud storage in pursuit of a “generalized intelligence” rather than narrow AI that will actually help streamline industries. There is a reason China is not even competing in this fake arms race.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin with a quick free-for-all Friday, where we cover the latest news on vaccines, immigration, spending, and foreign policy. Next, we're joined by Dr. Peter Chambers, a retired Army lieutenant colonel who is a doctor and a Green Beret and is now taking his impressive background to the campaign trail for governor of Texas. Dr. Chambers discusses his experience in Operation Lone Star and how Greg Abbott failed to actually stanch the flow at the border. He also explains his failures on medical freedom, which is a stark contrast from Chambers' own experience, where he lost his job as a flight surgeon in the Texas Guard while offering informed consent on the vaccines. Chambers offers his vision for getting ahead of the asymmetric warfare against our country. He also briefs us on his recovery operation in Texas Hill Country and how, as governor, he would utilize retired special operators to create quick-reaction forces within county governments and the state Guard.    Learn more about your ad choices.

We are now at a "use it or lose it" stage of immigration enforcement. Today I discuss the amnesty bill written by Rep. Maria Salazar (R-Fla.) and why, in conjunction with Trump's support for agriculture worker amnesty, it is a real concern. I also prove why the rebellion against Trump over Epstein is not real and will not change the current political trajectory. Next, we're joined by George Fishman of the Center for Immigration Studies to discuss the lies of farm worker amnesty. Fishman wrote an important piece explaining how the same excuses for the farm industry are what led to the failures of the 1986 amnesty. It created a vicious cycle of amnesty and more importation of cheap labor by incentivizing farms never to mechanize and to continue relying on the cheapest labor the politicians are willing to import. We also discuss what it will take to bump up deportations. If we fail to do so, there is a real likelihood that Trump will make an aggressive push for amnesty at the end of his presidency.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What we are seeing now with the crack-up between Trump and the online Right is populism coming full circle. On today's free-for-all roundup of news, I show how when you have no soul, principles, and forward-looking agenda, you just land in the same place. We are worse off in terms of corporatism in the GOP than we were even 10 years ago. We have a lost decade in primaries. The online crowd might be upset with Trump over Epstein, but they will never channel that dissent into anything useful. There is no long-term plan to build enduring victories on a single issue. Also, I go through the harms of AI data centers and how the entire premise is built on a misunderstanding of the utility of artificial intelligence.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin by noting how allowing states to enforce immigration laws is the most important proposition to stake out our future. This will allow us to ensure that there are still portions of America that remain American. Sadly, the focus from Congress and the White House this week is on meme coins and AI data centers. Next, we're joined by Shannon Everrett, founder of American Truckers United, who has created a grassroots movement to warn about the flood of foreign truck drivers taking over the industry. This is both a labor and safety concern. They are driving down wages and supplanting the American trucker, but at the same time, many are not proficient in English and did not undergo the proper training. Shannon is pushing legislation to bar the recognition of non-domiciled commercial driver's licenses for noncitizens and certainly the recognition of truck drivers who are here illegally or on tourist visas.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Tucker and his ilk have found a way to monetize many of our grievances while ensuring we never solve them.
