Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz
Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz
Blaze Podcast Network
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 .
The GOP’s 'Lesser of Two Evils' Trap Is Destroying Red States  |10|01|26
The "lesser of two evils" strategy isn't just failing — it's actively handing the deepest red states in America over to the political Left. While conservative media influencers and "Con Inc." obsess over national swing states and pretend to fight the establishment, they remain totally silent as Soros-backed, Big Tech-funded candidates quietly capture GOP primaries in deep-red territory. Because the conservative base is repeatedly told to vote for the "R" to avoid splitting the vote, the Left has found a cheat code: Run as a Republican. It is doing so with increasing success. I’m joined by Rebecca Bextel, a Wyoming Republican activist and donor who is running for governor on the Constitution Party ballot line because the GOP nominee is a Soros Democrat. Bextel explains the math behind her campaign and why she believes the race offers conservatives an opportunity to challenge the conventional Republican-vs.-Democrat framework without splitting the vote. Wyoming provides a useful test case for my broader thesis: If conservatives never challenge Republican candidates in primaries or, where circumstances permit, support alternative candidates in general elections, the Republican Party will continue to deteriorate while conservative voters remain locked into the same electoral choice.

They Blame Capitalism for an Economy That Isn’t Capitalist. |9|30|26
The American economy is hurtling toward a cliff, and the people steering the ship are stepping on the gas. Conservatives are getting punished by the voters for economic policies that are antithetical to what we believe. I’m joined by macroeconomist Tracy Shuchart of Ninja Trader to expose the reality of our stagflationary crisis — a debt-driven, heavily manipulated, "venture socialist" system that is masquerading as a free market and is being laughed at by the bond market. Tracy predicts that we will suffer “higher for longer” in terms of inflation and commodity prices. What happens when an economy built on debt, financialization, government intervention, and speculation gets blamed on capitalism? If the political Right continues to defend this economy as “capitalism,” conservatives risk taking ownership of a system that bears little resemblance to a genuine free market and will drive youngsters into the socialist camp.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Texas Is Turning Blue — and Weak GOP Leadership Is Why  |9|29|26
Republicans have been in charge of Texas for 30 years.  They have increasingly refused to use their power to actually make the state, politically and policy-wise, a red state. So now voters are threatening to paint it officially blue. I’m joined by Texas Rep. Brian Harrison (R) to examine why Republicans are struggling in a state that should be one of the strongest conservative strongholds in America. Harrison argues that weak GOP leadership, failure to deliver results, runaway government spending, property taxes, corporate welfare, data-center subsidies, and literally handing power to people like James Talarico have created an opening for Democrats to gain ground. The answer, he says, isn't simply to tell voters to fear Democrats. Republicans need to demonstrate what their control of government can actually accomplish. Harrison lays out an aggressive agenda for a Texas special session — including major property-tax relief, ending corporate welfare, addressing data centers and Flock cameras, reducing government spending, cutting gas taxes, and tackling affordability. Do Republicans, including those who feign outrage over Democrats, actually want to win or not?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Conservatives Are Getting the Worst of Both Worlds with the GOP  |9|28|26
What happens when a political party takes on the liabilities of governing — but delivers few of the policy results its voters expect? We are being asked to defend Republican candidates and institutions while simultaneously watching the party subvert us on immigration, the economy, judicial power, surveillance, data centers, and other issues central to the conservative movement. I lay out an alternative approach centered on grassroots organization, targeted candidates, party-rule reform, independent candidates, conventions, and sustained issue advocacy. Simply perpetuating the status quo is not an option and will result in Democrats winning until the eye can see.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Trump, RFK Jr. & the Great Medical Freedom Betrayal  |9|25|26
Despite campaign promises to clean up the health agencies, the reality on the ground is moving rapidly backwards. Dr. Robert Malone reveals how industry insiders are quietly replacing battlefield-tested medical freedom fighters at the CDC and FDA. Instead of rolling back disastrous health interventions, the government is doubling down: approving new mRNA COVID shots and pushing the first mRNA flu vaccines. This isn't accidental — it's a calculated regulatory maneuver to officially cement mRNA as a legally recognized "platform technology," guaranteeing a permanent, highly lucrative monopoly for Big Pharma giants like Pfizer and Moderna while boxing out safer alternatives. In a wide-ranging discussion, Dr. Malone and I warn how the medical freedom betrayal is emblematic of the broader political Right, whereby the very influencers who talk an issue to death actually turn around and become enforcers for the other side when the ball is in play. This creates a vicious cycle: Politicians make promises, influencers defend them and tell the base to stand down, and the promised reforms never happen — or policy moves backward. Oh, and anyone demanding accountability is accused of helping the Democrats, even as the GOP perfidy itself is what is helping the Democrats win.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Why the GOP Is Losing Voters — and Why Trump Cannot Be Removed from the Equation |9|24|26
Today, I expose the uncomfortable truths that the rest of the “right-wing” media refuses to touch: The party has spent 11 years suffocating actual right-wing reformist policies. This was all done to protect one man's ego, embracing economic rot, juvenile behavior, misaligned priorities and corruption, and alienating the exact voters required to win. I explain how we cannot limit the postmortem analysis to the stupid Iran war, take Trump out of the equation, and then move onto JD Vance without recognizing both of their culpabilities in the very economic policies that have been hemorrhaging voters for quite a while. From inflation, tariffs, debt, and interest rates to foreign labor, Big Tech, data centers, government spending, and the financialization of the economy, both of them have supported the very corporatist Baby Boomer policies that alienate the young voters they claim to support. I also explain why Republicans are losing independent and low-propensity voters, why the problem goes far beyond conservative voters staying home, and why blaming everything on a single issue risks missing the larger systemic failure. We will not move on from this if we fail to recognize how we got here, Trump’s role in it, and how it was a long time in the making.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The GOP Hamster Wheel and the Lie of the 'Lesser of Two Evils' | 9/23/26
Conservatives are constantly told the same thing: Stay on the GOP hamster wheel, vote Republican, and whatever you do, don’t challenge the system — because otherwise the Democrats will win. But what if that entire argument is a false construct? I explain in great detail how we are NOT trapped in a permanent two-party choice and why the movement already has tools capable of forcing real change — including political conventions, alternative ballot lines, and strategically supporting candidates outside the traditional Republican machinery. And this isn't just theoretical. South Dakota provides a real-world example of how conventions can defeat establishment incumbents that survive Republican primaries. I also revisit the 2009 New York special election involving Doug Hoffman to show how conservative media and political organizations once had the willingness to rally behind a candidate outside the establishment Republican structure. The question isn't whether conservatives have options; it’s whether we have leaders. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Why Independent Ranchers are Forming the Most Important Political Movement |9|22|26
America’s cattle herd is shrinking while the United States becomes increasingly dependent on foreign beef — and independent ranchers are being squeezed from both sides.  I’m joined by Bill Bullard, CEO of R-CALF USA and a leading advocate for independent cattle producers, to examine how America reached this point and what it would take to rebuild a sovereign, competitive domestic cattle industry.  He explains exactly how the beef importations exacerbate the meat packing monopoly, while harming cattlemen without helping consumers.  We also discuss why the Prime Act is so important and his effort to enforce anti-trust laws.  Independent ranchers receive no government subsidies and operate in a highly manipulated market. Meanwhile, the government heavily subsidizes corn/soybeans (49% of all ag subsidies) and offers massive tax abatements for solar farms and data centers. This prices ranchers out of the land market and permanently removes grazing land from the food supply.  Learn why I believe the fight of independent ranchers is the most important movement in America.

Republicans Are LOSING Red America — and They're Fighting Over the WRONG Things |9|18|26
Republicans are getting crushed even in red states, all for issues and politicians that we don’t even believe in. We are focusing on the wrong things, dying on the wrong hills, needlessly uniting behind Trump’s perfidy, and then needlessly dividing on issues we supposedly all agree on! The main reason? We’ve created a circuitous failure theater and defeat mechanism with Trump that has ensured we never accomplish our stated objectives. Why are fighting over personalities, and online factions are distracting conservatives from the underlying problems. Meanwhile, a slew of polling shows Democrats about to sweep relatively light red states, while making inroads into deeper red states. Is it perhaps good to bring in the official Democrats so we can rebuild, or will we still fail to learn our lesson? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

GOP Congress & Trump Are Letting the Courts Control Immigration, Our Destiny |9|17|26
On this Constitution Day, it’s time we recognize that judicial supremacy is a legal fiction and must be confronted.  Nowhere is this more evident than with immigration policy. I sit down with immigration attorney John Miano (Center for Immigration Studies) to expose how hypocritical courts and the acquiescence to their capricious decisions have stripped away America's sovereignty.  John shows how pretty much every meaningful reform on immigration has been mowed down in the courts.  However, the same courts that say the president cannot enforce sovereignty have also ruled against John’s clients who sued Democrat presidents for illegally expanding immigration without Congress.  He explains why the judiciary has become a one-way street and a dead end for conservatives in general, and pro-sovereignty patriots, in particular.  The fact that Republicans won’t lift a finger to codify a single order show why the Republican establishment secretly prefers it that way.
