Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Everyone is reacting to the speech. Nobody is asking the real question: What actually changes now? In this episode, we break down the deeper problem behind the State of the Union — not the rhetoric, not the theatrics, but the lack of implementation. While the establishment Right claps for a great speech, the actual playing field — red-state legislatures, primary endorsements, and the looming debt crisis — is being completely abandoned. From the White House opposing America First candidates like Colton Moore to the silent surrender to AI data centers that will crush your energy bills, it's time to wake up to the "State of the Delusion." We dive deep into the specific economic realities that were left out of the address. The raw numbers don't lie, and conservative media is missing the biggest threat to the movement. It's time for deeds, not words. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

America has debated immigration for decades — but what if the real issue at the border isn't immigration at all? In this episode, I explain why the U.S. border should be treated as a national defense perimeter, not a law-enforcement problem. We need soldiers, not cops, at the border. We need a buffer zone on the Mexican side, not on our side. The discussion explores cartel control, strategic deterrence, judicial interference, and what policies could fundamentally change security outcomes. In light of the CJNG takeover of Mexican cities, we need to ensure that we do not make the same mistakes as we did with the Global War on Terror. I also break down major themes that could reshape a State of the Union address if Trump were willing to change his economic message. Finally, I delve into how a new party built on fighting for landowners, farmers, and the forgotten consumer and worker against the transhumanist technocracy and surveillance state would crush both parties.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Is the Republican Party doing more harm than good? Today, I ask the ultimate uncomfortable question: Is it better for the GOP to lose so a real conservative movement can take its place? We dive deep into the "negative efficacy" of the current establishment, the catastrophic primary numbers coming out of Texas, and how the Right has been captured by Big Tech, AI data centers, and the transhumanist agenda. Plus, a RINO roundup and a hard look at foreign policy failures regarding Iran and Qatar. What the current GOP leadership has done is co-opt the very agenda we hate while anesthetizing the GOP base to its effects, thereby precluding any competition from an authentic Right. It's time to stop cheerleading and start building a parallel movement. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The political battle of the future may not be Left vs. Right — it may be human beings vs. systems built around algorithms. In this episode, I explain the growing divide inside the conservative movement between those defending property rights, landowners, quality of life, and individual liberty vs. those prioritizing special interests and Big Tech. This is our moment to win in primaries, as the public clearly sides with us. I'm joined by Oklahoma state Rep. Jim Shaw (R), who proposed legislation to protect rural communities from massive industrial development projects tied to Big Tech and artificial intelligence. We also dive into the Save Oklahoma Plan and why primary elections for red-state legislatures are the absolute last line of defense against special interest capture. Learn more about your ad choices.

A new investigative report reveals known Chinese Communist Party members and military-linked researchers working inside sensitive U.S. university programs tied to defense research, AI, nuclear science, and drone warfare. In this interview, I speak with Tom Jones of the American Accountability Foundation about how visa programs, academic partnerships, and research funding are likely enabling technology transfer to China — often openly and legally. We discuss the national security implications policymakers aren't addressing. This isn't cyber-espionage. According to the report, it's happening through the front door with our suicidal visa policies. Despite the obvious national security threat, federal agencies and state-level flagship universities continue to fund labs run by foreign nationals developing drone swarm software, nuclear engineering, and AI capabilities that directly benefit the People's Liberation Army.

The Republican Party is facing a “change or die” moment. Voters are angry, and Democrats are winning — not because voters like Democrats, but because many feel that the incumbent Republicans no longer oppose corporate power and the unnatural wealth transfer. In this episode, I break down why Democrats are outflanking Republicans on economic messaging and how Republicans are doubling down on policies that aren't even conservative and represent terrible messaging. I contrast the bold message of Freedom Caucus candidates on land use, data centers, and putting the individual above business deals vs. the current message from top GOP leaders, which is the worst form of elitism and populism. Then, Iowa U.S. Senate candidate Jim Carlin joins the show to explain his campaign, centered on restoring real free markets, decentralizing economic power, and ending policies that benefit monopolies over families.

Americans are paying more than ever for increasingly unhealthy food — yet ranchers are going out of business. In this interview, I sit down with Texas rancher Texas Slim, owner of Beef.com and co-founder of the Beef Initiative, to discuss the growing movement to decentralize beef production and reconnect communities directly to the people raising their food. He explains how regulations, consolidation, and globalized supply chains have separated consumers from local farmers — and why rebuilding local food networks may be critical to the country's future. From meatpacking monopolies and the threat of AI data centers draining our aquifers to the disappearing family farms, this conversation reveals how the modern food system works — and what a “cow-to-fork” model could change. If communities control their food, they control their future. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

America's founders warned us about political parties — and today we are living inside that warning. In this episode, I break down how the modern GOP, the courts, immigration policy, and foreign policy failures all connect to the same structural problem George Washington predicted over 200 years ago. Why does the Right keep losing even after winning elections? Why are deportations stalled, courts overruling policy, and voters feeling unrepresented? The answer may not be bad politicians — it may be the system itself. I explain why the "Uniparty" is stronger than ever. We dive deep into George Washington's farewell address and his prophetic warning about the dangers of political factions. I also tackle foreign policy and the shocking alignment with Qatar and Turkey, the betrayal of the Kurds in Syria, and the abandonment of U.S. pilots in Guinea. It's time to stop waiting for a savior and start building a parallel movement for ordered liberty. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If conservatives can't win in West Virginia — a state with 90+ Republican legislators — where CAN they win? I expose why GOP primaries matter far more than general elections and why red states are quietly being transformed from within. In this explosive interview, West Virginia Delegate Chris Anders (R) explains why the newly formed West Virginia Freedom Caucus is taking on establishment Republicans over property rights and eminent domain abuse; data-center land-grabs; green energy subsidies; illegal immigration enforcement; corporate cronyism; and why 2026 primaries may decide the future of constitutional conservatism. Later on, I catch up on some national news stories on AI, judicial supremacism, and why elections will never matter if courts have the final word on every issue. After all, judges don't stand for re-election. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Artificial intelligence is transforming everything from writing and research to medicine and productivity — or at least it appears to be doing so. But are we gaining only illusory efficiency at the cost of something deeper and more long-term? Are anti-market forces and government and industry gaslighting steering capital to the wrong uses of AI based on the assumption that we will achieve “general intelligence”? What responsibility do we have as humans to make sure we approach available LLMs in a way that won't supplant human cognition? In this thought-provoking conversation, I sit down with leading innovation theorist John Nosta, author of "The Borrowed Mind: Reclaiming Human Thought in the Age of AI," to explore one of the most important questions of our time: Are we using AI as a tool to augment human thought, or are we slowly outsourcing our thinking to it? From "frictionless intelligence" being a trap and the myth of AGI to the danger of "cognitive obsolescence," Nosta reveals why the struggle to think is a feature, not a bug, of humanity.

Is America facing a housing crash — or is this the correction we actually need? I sit down with real estate expert Jon Brooks to dismantle the biggest myth in today's economy: We do NOT have a housing supply shortage. Instead, we may be staring at the aftermath of artificially low mortgage rates, COVID-era speculation, government manipulation through QE and FHA loans, and a collapsing demand base. The "housing shortage" is a myth designed to prop up a bubble market. Here is the truth about real estate, the economy, and why you shouldn't buy a home right now. Separately, I cover why it's a mistake for Trump to oppose any budget reconciliation legislation and to own the terrible status quo economy by calling it “golden” and suggesting there is nothing more he wants to accomplish.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Republicans ran on fighting for the forgotten American — but instead became the very elite power structure they claimed to oppose. In this episode, I break down why the GOP is losing elections on issues conservatives don't even agree with: Big Tech favoritism, elite corruption, corporate subsidies and venture socialism, data centers destroying farmland and rural America, Cabinet members with ties to Epstein, and corrupt deals with China and Arab states that sell out our national security. While Republicans cling to power without principles, Democrats are outflanking them on affordability, corruption, and working-class messaging — and the data proves it. Special elections, polling, and voter trends show a consistent 15-point GOP underperformance, putting even red states at risk. Democrats are successfully running as the “anti-elite” party. The question isn't whether Republicans are losing — it's why they're losing for nothing. If conservatives are going to lose, shouldn't it at least be for their own values?

Is the food you feed your children safe? Florida first lady Casey DeSantis joins me to reveal the shocking truth about toxins in America's food supply. Casey DeSantis discusses her groundbreaking new initiative, ExposingToxicFoods.com. While the FDA and EPA have been asleep at the wheel, Florida has taken matters into its own hands — testing common grocery store items like baby formula, candy, and bread. The results are terrifying. From arsenic and lead to glyphosate and heavy metals, the "safe" foods we have trusted for decades are fueling a chronic illness epidemic. We cover how Florida is leading the charge on informed consent and to get to the bottom of the chronic illness epidemic. This is just the beginning of the first lady's fight for food safety and informed consent.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Permanent stagflation is no longer a theory — it's here. I'm joined today by legendary investor economist Peter Schiff to break down why every major Trump-backed economic policy is inflationary, debt-driven, designed to subsidize affordability, and accelerating the collapse of jobs, markets, and the U.S. dollar. He explains why a weak dollar destroys American purchasing power, why tariffs are backfiring on manufacturers, and why the recent correction in gold and silver was likely a coordinated attack. Separately, I discuss Florida's effort to expose toxins in food and how Trump continues to miss opportunities on immigration, sanctuary cities, and the courts.  Learn more about your ad choices.

I break down how Trump's retreat on immigration enforcement — refusing to invoke the Insurrection Act, pulling ICE from hostile blue states, and parroting Democrat talking points about “non-criminal” illegal labor — has emboldened blue-state insurrection while completely neutralizing red states. Now blue states will impose this tyranny on us in red states when they take over at the federal level, but thanks to Trump's bad endorsements, we will not have the infrastructure to fight Democrat tyranny the way blue states are successfully thwarting Trump. I also show how Trump is championing federal supremacy on all the wrong issues like gun control, AI, and land use, but not on immigration.    Learn more about your ad choices.

I begin today's show discussing how yesterday's budget vote was a perfect example of Kabuki theater where both parties wanted the government funding bill to pass, but they passed out hall passes to members who needed to vote against it. I'm joined by Rosemary Jenks of the Immigration Accountability Project, who has been fighting mass migration for 36 years. She has an urgent message on what we must do in this narrow window to right the ship on deportations, focus on workplace enforcement and stolen identity, empower state enforcement, and codify Trump's executive orders in Congress. The window to save America is closing. She outlines a concrete battle plan — from worksite enforcement to impeaching lawless judges — that the GOP refuses to use. Learn more about your ad choices.

America is facing something far more dangerous than protest or even rioting — it is an ongoing insurrection against federal immigration law. In this episode, I'm joined by former DHS official and legal expert George Fishman to break down why President Trump must immediately invoke the Insurrection Act to stop coordinated street violence, judicial obstruction, and open attacks on ICE officers in blue states. Fishman explains how the Insurrection Act has been used throughout American history — from Eisenhower to George Washington — and why today's coordinated effort to block immigration enforcement meets every legal threshold for invocation. I also discuss the double standard: how J6 defendants were prosecuted vs. current anti-ICE rioters; how judicial supremacy is nullifying the 1996 Immigration Act; the GOP's failure to use leverage in the DHS funding fight; and state-based enforcement as the final line of defense.

The two-party system is a mirage, and unelected judges are destroying America. It's time for a new 1776. In this episode, I expose the hard truth: Elections have become meaningless. America has become a one-party system, where Republicans and Democrats differ in rhetoric but govern the same when it matters most — especially on spending, the economy, immigration, and sovereignty. Worse, even when voters demand change, judicial supremacy overrides the will of the people. Unelected judges now function as super-legislators, blocking enforcement of immigration law, nullifying state authority, and shredding the Constitution — all without accountability.  As we approach the 250th anniversary of the American founding,  we are facing a crisis deeper than any election cycle — a system in which voting no longer governs the governed.

Generative AI was sold as the next industrial revolution — but what if it is doing very little good and creating much harm? Cognitive scientist and AI expert Gary Marcus joins Daniel Horowitz to expose why large language models are failing to deliver real productivity, damaging human cognition, and consuming massive amounts of capital with little return. Instead of a productivity boom, we are seeing a misallocation of capital, massive energy waste for data centers, and an internet filled with "algorithmic slop." Gary explains why LLMs are just "autocomplete on steroids" and why the promise of artificial general intelligence is failing to deliver profits. We also discuss the cognitive atrophy of the next generation, the theft of intellectual property, and why China might actually be winning by NOT destroying its education system with chatbots.

What happens when someone who grew up under Islam tells the West what it doesn't want to hear? Former Muslim and Christian convert Danny Burmawi of the Ideological Defense Institute delivers a stark warning about mass migration, political Islam, and the future of Western civilization. Danny explains why mass Muslim migration is transforming Western societies in ways most Americans don't understand. He bluntly warns that there is only one form of Islam and that it requires adherence to jihad. Some Muslim dictators are suppressing it in the hopes of achieving economic prosperity, but that is not trickling down to the Muslims living in the West, thanks to the subversion of Western elites allowing political Islam to operate with impunity. I also discuss my thoughts on how the Left is completely crushing Trump on immigration. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The job numbers do not reflect how large a labor depression young workers are facing. We're joined by labor market consultant Amanda Goodall (@thejobchick), who paints a grim picture of employment prospects in nearly every sector. She believes that offshoring and outsourcing are the real culprits. We break down why AI isn't the real culprit, how corporations game hiring systems, and why entry-level jobs now demand years of experience that don't exist. This conversation exposes why the American dream is collapsing for young workers — and why politicians refuse to address it. I also address Trump's handling of the Minnesota riots and immigration standoff, explaining how federal authority collapsed, why rioters got what they wanted, and how blue states are openly defying the federal enforcement. In some perverse way, we can learn a lot from blue states on how to fight back against a future Democrat president.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Is the Trump administration speaking loudly but carrying a white flag? I break down why conservatives are suffering all the political liabilities of the current presidency while reaping none of the policy benefits. From the failure to codify executive orders to the endorsement of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and failure to follow through on fighting sanctuary cities and rioters, we analyze why fake executive orders and threats are worse than doing nothing. I also dive deep into the real data behind the U.S. housing market. Contrary to the "supply shortage" narrative, Redfin data shows a record 47% more home sellers than buyers in December. I explain why high interest rates and inflationary spending — not a lack of homes — are crushing affordability and why the administration might secretly want to keep prices high. Plus, a look at the AI data center" crisis threatening the U.S. power grid at a time when the grid is teetering due to a very cold winter.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Gold and silver talk; political gaslighting walks. I'm joined today by Peter Schiff, the famed investor who predicted this day would come. As gold hits $5,000 and silver tops $100, Schiff warns that this is actually just the beginning, not the end, of their rise. In this explosive conversation, Peter Schiff explains why we are facing a currency crisis and how the dollar will lose its reserve currency status. He also explains why Bitcoin will never be like gold and how the stock market is actually crashing relative to gold. Moreover, we delve into the myth that deflation is a bad thing and how the government continues to fuel inflation but is losing control of the economy.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, I identify all the factors that have led to Trump's logistical, legal, and public relations failure on deportation. He needed to focus on codifying his agenda in Congress, stripping the courts of jurisdiction, enshrining and encouraging state enforcement, using ships instead of planes for removals, and — most importantly — cut off the magnets so that illegal immigrants would return home on their own. Instead, Trump told ICE to lay off the non-criminal aliens. Also, Trump is now supporting spending bills that undo his entire agenda and actually increase spending on Biden's policies — so much so that Democrats are celebrating his spending bills and are all voting for them. Finally, I discuss how Trump's foreign policy is erratic, not America First, and is all about pleasing Qatar and Turkey. It's not for the faint of heart, but it's the unvarnished truth.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As we watch Democrats floor the gas pedal on communism in Virginia, it's time to ask why we don't have a single red-state trifecta that governs as vigorously as Democrats do on their issues. We're joined by Texas state Rep. Brian Harrison (R), who exposes just how liberal the state party leadership is. Texas is being overrun by Islamic terror supporters and Antifa. Texas is facing a crisis from property taxes and data centers. State and local governments continue to promote liberal policies with taxpayer-funded lobbyists. Yet the legislature doesn't even plan to convene! Why aren't there more fighters like Harrison? Because we ignore the primaries. Meanwhile, the Texas speaker is running two liberal candidates against Harrison so he can consolidate support from the uniparty without people like Harrison trying to paint Texas red.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Why is beef so expensive — and why are independent ranchers being pushed to the brink? In today's episode, I'm joined by rancher Cole Bolton of the Beef Initiative to expose the hidden drivers behind skyrocketing beef prices: corporate consolidation, government land-use decisions, and the rise of data centers gobbling up farmland and resources. I also explain how the globalists at Davos are engaging in a rope-a-dope to co-opt the listless populist Right and rebrand support for fossil fuels into the data center agenda. The data center agenda is all about placing our lives on the cloud so that we will own nothing and be surveilled 100% of the time. It's time to put food over data centers and people and land over the cloud.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For five straight election cycles, Donald Trump has used his unmatched influence to shape Republican primaries, and it has been a disaster for the conservative movement. In this explosive episode, I break down how Trump's pattern of endorsing corporatist incumbents, liberal Republicans, and establishment insiders has crippled efforts to pass real reforms on immigration, spending, judicial power, health care, and national sovereignty. Why do Republicans always claim they “don't have the votes”? Why are conservative priorities never codified into law? Why do red states keep electing leaders who quietly advance the same failed policies? The answer is simple — bad endorsements cancel primaries, protect RINOs, and sabotage the base from within. I go through all of the key races for Senate and governor to show how, absent wholesale change, we will be left with no benefits of his tenure and only the liabilities unless he stays out of our primaries.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump's presidency will fail unless he stops Antifa attacks on ICE, completes the deportation mission, and confronts judicial supremacy. I explain why time is running out. Trump is facing the defining test of his presidency. As Antifa violence directly targets ICE and federal agents, deportations grind to a halt — not just because of the streets, but because of the courts. I explain why half measures are the worst possible option. The administration has absorbed all the political costs of immigration enforcement, while achieving none of the results. From Antifa's coordinated tactics to judges blocking executive authority, this isn't just about immigration — it's about whether elections still matter in America. Judicial supremacy is now overriding border enforcement, national security, and even the power of the presidency itself. If this continues, Trump's term will end with all the liabilities and none of the benefits — and red-state America won't be spared, either. Plus, I touch on why Trump's health care plan also suffers from all the political liabilities with none of the policy benefits.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Let's be honest: There are zero redeeming qualities to nearly every GOP candidate running — both incumbent and challenger. There's a reason for that. I explain why we are languishing from an endless feedback loop in which the more Republicans fail to serve as an alternative to Democrats, the worse the country gets and the more they can exploit the desperation of GOP voters to support them. To drive home this point, I'm joined by former Mississippi state Senator Chris McDaniel. He ran for statewide office three times, including in 2014, when he was an inch away from unseating legendary Senator Thad Cochran (R-Miss.). He explains why conservatives have gone backward in primaries and how they have become a dead end for people who actually want to change the system with no other motivation. Chris represented the movement we had that could have bloomed into everything this current online Right movement claims to support, but that won't even tune in to primaries to make the difference.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump delivered a major economic speech yesterday, in which he advocated for all the policies that created inflation, fake wealth, and the K-shaped economy to begin with. He wants endless near-zero interest rates and more juicing of the housing and stock-market bubbles. Also, everything he is doing is executive actions with no plan to codify them in Congress. Next, I explain how Bibi Netanyahu is pushing for a phaseout of aid to his country, while Trump shockingly opposes it. Our main discussion today is about letting the housing bubble deflate on its own. We're joined by Melody Wright, a mortgage finance and housing policy expert, who explains how prices are already coming down. There will be a crash, but on balance, that is a good thing. The problem is that everything the government is doing will lead to price increases. Trump is also misdiagnosing the problem as one of interest rates and supply. In fact, developers have overbuilt in most parts of the country. Rather than treating the delayed symptom of corporate ownership, the time has come to treat the cause, which is government ownership of housing. Let the bubble pop! Learn more about your ad choices.

The good news is that Trump is finally admitting data centers are sucking out energy. Now it's time he realizes China is beating us with a much smarter approach that doesn't require such investment. Next, we're joined by Rebecca Bextel, a local conservative activist in Teton County, Wyoming, who has exposed the low-income housing program as a bigger scam and grift than the Somali food and day-care scandal. She explains how local housing authorities use unlimited federal funds to pay off wealthy private equity firms to build unnecessary Section 8 housing in beautiful parts of the country. They are often exempt from property tax and zoning laws, violate eligibility criteria, and line their pockets while dumping out-of-state criminals and drugs into “Ghettostone” slums in the middle of the heartland. This is happening all across the country.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Trump and Republicans are joining Democrats in governing as “aristo-populists.” In today's action-packed show, I analyze Trump's housing plan, desire to cap credit card rates, and spat with Jerome Powell over near-zero interest rates through the prism of aristo-populism vs. free-market populism. Aristo-populism is the antithesis of principled governance in that you are swayed by the monied interests at the top of the food chain of policy, sell political access, and then get swayed by perceived public opinion at the bottom to overcorrect. Whereas free-market populism — being for the people — means driving down the middle without any favorable treatment of any one class or industry. I explain exactly how the housing policy fits into the duplicitous dynamic of the arsonist as the firefighter. Also, Trump continues to endorse only candidates who will support data centers rather than those who will actually fight the elites. Finally, there is no better time for a truly independent party and movement. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We have good news and bad news to share. In good news, RFK Jr.'s change to the vaccination schedule is the most transformational medical change we have seen in recent years. We're joined by civil rights attorney Aaron Siri, author of “Vaccines, Amen,” for an in-depth analysis of which vaccines were taken off the guidelines and which ones remain. He explains how this policy breaks the dam of medical tyranny. Aaron advises that the next step should be removal guidance for all vaccines that fail to stop transmission while we continue to fight in the states to end all forms of mandates. In bad news, I begin the show with news about housing, welfare, and foreign policy, where Trump continues to treat symptoms executively while exacerbating the causes of those problems when it matters. Meanwhile, no substantial legislative changes are taking place.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin by addressing Trump's order to ban corporate purchase of residential homes. While I agree with reversing this odious trend, we must not forget that it is a mere symptom of the broader problem of high prices created by government debt, Federal Reserve policies, and HUD policies. Trump is treating the symptom while supporting all the governmental policies that caused high prices. Next, we're joined by Tim Estes, an AI entrepreneur, who passionately makes the case that our government is working with the wrong companies and the wrong strategy on perfecting AI. The AI path we are on is supplanting human dignity, unnaturally drawing investment away from more promising aspects of the technology, and will actually result in losing to China. Estes has an app he is developing to help parents harness technology to make the internet experience human-led and to combat all of the mental, cognitive, and social ills this technology has wrought in recent years.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Where is the sense of urgency to solve the issues that matter now, not after the midterm elections? We delve into Trump's asymmetric focus on foreign policy relative to the core bread-and-butter issues crushing the people, like health care. I warn about how Republicans are about to cut a bad deal on health care. Plus, Trump is moving to the left on federal abortion funding. He also agreed to surrender U.S. corporate tax sovereignty to the globalists. Next, we're joined by Shannon Everett of American Truckers United, who blew the lid off the silent crisis of illegal alien and foreign drivers destroying the trucking industry. We discuss how illegal aliens now compose a massive percentage of truck drivers and an even greater percentage of trucking accidents and criminal activity. Despite some federal action, the government is still failing to end this problem. We discuss numerous action items at the state and federal levels that must be addressed quickly.

We begin today with a discussion about how there is more than meets the eye in Venezuela, and it can't be just about drugs and oil. Either way, Trump must do a better job focusing on systemic economic reforms.  We must also promote more candidates who will follow the Florida model in red states. We're joined by Kevin Freeman, the leader of the transactional gold movement, for an update on how transactional gold and silver accounts are needed to restore true economic justice. We tackle the issue from all angles, and he shows how the movement away from gold has led to so many ills: communism, globalism, Islamism, and social rot. Kevin debunks the globalist premise that deflation is a bad thing; in fact, deflation should be inevitable in a functioning economy. Finally Kevin teases out the coming of more innovative ideas to restore economic justice in a free market structure so that young voters don't turn to dark forces in their despair.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to 2026 — the year of the 250th anniversary. Today, I discuss the need to "meet the moment." That means that rather than focusing on the 2026 and 2028 general elections, Trump must utilize the power he currently has to deal with the challenges of our time on economy, security, and culture. He must open an economic future, stem the demographic tide, push long-term reforms that will be harder to undo, and then build red-state fortresses. I list a dozen action items for him to do as an outline of what we will be covering this year. Plus, I offer baseline thoughts on some of the news of the day, such as the capture of Maduro and the Somali welfare scam in Minnesota. Finally, I announce an exciting new way to correspond with the show: @danielhorowitz on Substack. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin today's season finale by discussing what went wrong at TPUSA's gathering. Rather than focusing on the dozen existential threats we face and how the current GOP needs to be fixed, it devolved into a personality debate with people like Tucker Carlson simping for Islamists. We can't succeed in a movement that has no coherent views and disagrees dramatically on key issues. This is also why it's irresponsible to proclaim Vice President JD Vance as leader three years in advance, or to even focus on the presidential election before solving the fundamental problems with the GOP. Next, we're joined by Sheikh Khalid Al-Hail, leader of the Qatar National Democratic Party, who has a stark and solemn warning for the American people. He explains how Qatar sits at the nexus of nearly all global terror finance, as well as Islamic radicalization in America. He explains how the Al Thani regime's main goal is to purchase influence within every sphere of power in America, ironically to protect itself against moderate Muslim factions. In that sense, our own government is actually solely responsible for propping up the very entity spreading jihad throughout the world. And as Al-Hail explains, jihad is not just about the sword but about subversive propaganda that even non-Muslims like Tucker are propagating.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we engage in a broad and deep retrospective of the year in politics. I go through about a dozen political themes and trends that emerged from this year and will reverberate even more headed into 2026. The upshot is that we're suffering all of the liabilities of Republicans being in charge but none of the benefits — at least not ones that will endure in the long run. I also review Trump's speech last night and explain how it is gaslighting us on prosperity and security at home and peace abroad, when none of those things are true. The voters know it.  At the end, I explain how the AI data center grift is completely insolvent, only existent because of government, and how it is crowding out more effective resources. Finally if we don't change course, our future is Australia.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We've never faced such a ubiquitous threat from Islamic terrorists, yet our government is still slow to recognize the source of the problem. I begin today by rounding up the latest news on recent terrorist attacks and analyzing the new Trump immigration moratorium as a mixed bag. Also, I'm increasingly concerned about the lack of strategy in Venezuela and Qatari involvement. We're joined by former FBI whistleblower Steve Friend, who has a gut-wrenching message for us: The Trump/Patel FBI is not different from the Biden FBI. He describes how the bureau re-hired him only to humiliate him and then fire him again after leaking the news to the media. The FBI is continuing its same failed modus operandi of focusing on overly broad missions, prioritizing intelligence over police work, measuring success by arbitrary measures, and fostering the same climate of anarcho-tyranny we saw under Biden. Leaders are leaving in place the entire weaponized structure for the next Democrat president to turn loose on all of us, even as they continue to be grossly incompetent in contending with real security threats.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Qatar controls foreign policy, while Big Tech controls domestic policy. I begin with a roundup of the latest news on the terrorism front, a breakdown of the terrible stagflation numbers, and Ron DeSantis leading the fight against the AI slop agenda. Next, we're joined by Miriam Eckenfels, who covers wireless technology issues for Children's Health Defense, for a discussion about the FCC rule attempting to block states from regulating any placement of 5G and wireless infrastructure from the telecoms industry. Just as with data centers, the Trump administration is trying to build the infrastructure for both the surveillance state and the techno-feudalism that make us at one with harmful technology. Eckenfels demonstrates how this technology is not necessary for connectivity and rapid internet usage. At the same time, the high-frequency radio waves are so much more harmful, and the more they push everything toward 5G, the more the densification of the infrastructure will harm the quality of life of our neighborhoods as well as out health.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The juxtaposition of the administration's handling of the Syrian massacre of our troops with immigration from Syria in light of the Sydney terror attack is appalling. Today, I go through the details and policy outcomes that should flow from the deaths of Iowa Guardsmen at the hands of Jolani-allied thugs to show how our Syria policy is completely backward. Rather than pulling our troops out, banning Syrian immigration, and allowing Israel to take care of business, we are doubling down on serving as Qatar's lapdog, continuing immigration from Syria and most Islamic countries, and hamstringing Israel from its much more effective effort on combatting terrorism emanating from Syria. At the end, I touch on Trump's losing economic message promoting inflation and data centers and how the data-center agenda is actually harming the electronics market and crowding out more necessary and efficient technology investments.  Learn more about your ad choices.
