Today is the anniversary of the signing of the Patriot Act. I explain how our response to coronavirus mirrors the mistakes of our response to 9/11 and the Afghan war. We sacrificed lives that didn’t have to be lost to save those we couldn’t save and destroyed freedom and liberty in the process.

Ep 745 | Don’t Let Corona Communism Be Our Next Afghanistan

In Washington, politicians are full of half-truths and hot air. They do little more than grandstanding by spouting off talking points and spin. The Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz is here to help you cut through the rhetoric and noise and explore the politically right way to think about the issues .

Today, I contrast the amazingly organized movement of the far Left to that nonexistent one of the Right. All we have are memes and cultural flash points, but no forward-looking movement on law and policy to capitalize on these flash points. I use the college campus riots as an example for how the Left has effectively used its agitators to push an already left-wing president even farther to the left, to the point where he is now openly opposing Israel. Yet on the right, we have Speaker Johnson screwing us on every issue, but we lack the movement to remove him. Trump continues to support him. He also complains about a narrow majority but undermines any ability to get better Republicans in the primaries. I explain how nothing will change – even if Republicans win in November – if we are not willing to do surgery now.

How Will We Change the Uniparty if We Sleep Through Every Primary? | 5/6/24

Why is it that we have a one-sided civil war with only the left having an effective political movement? Why is it that we elevate subversive voices and politicians on the right who undermine our core values and outcomes? Today, we settle the ultimate debate between my colleague Steve Deace and me: Is it that conservative media voices spew garbage because they know that’s what conservative voters want to hear, similar to the false prophets in the Bible? Or is it that the conservative voters will take whatever they receive from conservative elites, and if we actually had better elites, we can come to the promised land? Steve has decisively come to the conclusion that the people are the problem. He makes a passionate case that although there is evidence conservative elites manipulate unsuspecting followers, DeSantis’ candidacy is the control group on this question. They knew about him and still chose sugar over steak. He believes that even if we had better leaders on the professional Right, a new parallel universe would inevitably develop to offer the people what they want. Because of the Baby Boomers and their lazy desire for comfort and the path of least resistance, we are stuck with them like the Israelites who wandered for 40 years in the desert.

Who is at Fault? Conservative Media or Conservative Voters? | Guest: Steve Deace | 5/3/24

Today, I continue to make the case for why Speaker Johnson needs to be removed and why Trump must be forced to drop his support for him. Johnson placed a dumb hate crimes bill on the floor yesterday, which has forced conservatives into a false choice. I warn how Johnson’s brand of Republicanism is actually fueling more anti-Semitism on the reactionary Right by stupidly making support for Israel about money and hate crimes legislation rather than about ending Islamic immigration and foreign funding of universities. That would synergize pro-Israel and pro-Jewish initiatives with America first. Later on, I offer updates on successes and failures in red states, including the toughest immigration law that just passed in Oklahoma but is about to be undermined by the governor.

A Lack of Leadership and Vision Creates False Dichotomies and Choices on the Right  | 5/2/24

Stop focusing on the general election. Now is primary time. Today, I explain the case for getting rid of Speaker Johnson (R-La.) and why the timing of most congressional primaries is optimal to maximize pressure on members. Everything going on today can be influenced through our own dominion over red states on the right, but that will require my colleges to demand that Trump stop supporting Johnson. I show how Trump continues to drift to the left and help bail Johnson out and is literally siding with Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.). Finally, I discuss how the recent Utah convention shows that we can single-handedly take over the GOP in one election if we moved from popular primaries to representative conventions. It is the single closest idea I have to a silver bullet, and it’s shocking that we don’t have greater support around it.

Why the Speaker Fight Is So Important | 5/1/24

You might have heard a lot this week about the Hamas riots on the college campuses, but where is this coming from? We’re joined today by Daniel Greenfield, an investigative journalist and writer at FrontPage magazine, who intricately connects the dots between Soros, the Ford Foundation, and Rockefeller money and the foreign Muslim Brotherhood promotion of the college riots. I also give a tutorial on constitutional rights and protests to show how there is a difference between freedom of speech and taking over public venues, in addition to school codes of conduct. Ultimately, I believe the anarchy in blue states juxtaposed to the way the riots are handled in places like Florida and Texas will accelerate the national divide, which is actually a good thing.
