Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Trump has already spent a ton of political capital signaling major changes on immigration, so why not go all the way? First, we discuss immigration in the context of court rulings and the need for Trump to follow through with his messaging against rogue judges. Next, we’re joined by Kevin Lynn (@USTechWorkers), executive director for the Institute of Sound Public Policy, who is one of the leading activists against foreigner workers displacing Americans. He explains how the foreign student program funneled through the lawless OPT/H-1B pipeline was systemically and deliberately orchestrated to remove Americans from numerous professions. In a wide-ranging discussion covering numerous visa categories and aspects of the foreign labor scam, Lynn notes how easy it would be for Trump to abolish or reform so many of these programs. There is no America First agenda if we are going to continue this level of foreign students and foreign workers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin today by applauding Trump for signaling the demise of the Department of Education. The only problem is if he refuses to fight Congress in the budget or to ignore the courts, this action will never become law. Also, to mark the grim five-year anniversary of COVID fascism, I go through some state legislation trying to fix some of the biomedical security tyranny. Next, we’re joined by John Comiskey, a mortgage finance expert, who is using his social media to expose how the FHA is propping up hundreds of thousands of insolvent mortgages, trapping people in underwater mortgages, preventing foreclosures and market correction, and creating price inflation. He has pored over FHA loan data to discover how taxpayers are now essentially subsidizing people who cannot demonstrate financial solvency to remain in their homes indefinitely. This is a superlative example of how do-gooder socialism creates a vicious cycle of debt, inflation, and insolvency that makes home affordability worse than when the program was started.

Bookmark today and our source material as the definitive show proving once and for all that our founders never adopted a system of judicial supremacism. In fact, the courts are not even equal. Except for a couple of issues, Congress fully controls the structure, jurisdiction, and makeup of the Supreme Court. I explain how judicial supremacism was born out of a political, not constitutional, argument of deferring to the expositors of law. I arm Trump with all of the intellectual firepower he needs to push back against the courts. Also, DeSantis is right about the need for Congress to strip the courts of jurisdiction over issues like immigration. I provide the full history and legal rationale behind that provision of the Constitution. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The divide on the Right is between those who enjoy the warm water of politics as an end to itself and those who use it to steer the ship to fixed destinations. We are seeing this at the federal level with those who would rather focus on fake spending cuts from the DOGE and even use the DOGE as an excuse not to actually cut spending in Congress. Next, we’re joined by Texas state Rep. Brian Harrison (R), who joins us from Austin to report on how Republicans worked with Democrats to squander what should have been the most conservative session. They have not passed a single meaningful bill in the first 60 days and have no plans to pass anything transformational. He also explains how the school choice bill is misleading and woefully inadequate. Meanwhile, DEI continues to permeate every aspect of Texas government. Is there any hope of throwing these people out in primaries? That is up to us. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Trump is at a crossroads. The most important and enduring accomplishment — perhaps the only enduring accomplishment — will be to break judicial supremacism. In today’s action-packed show, I discuss the arguments Trump must make as to why judges have no jurisdiction over deportations and how he must fully ignore the courts. Such a posture will help us down the road when we push for red states to fight the next Democrat president. Next, I offer a unique history lesson on Marbury v. Madison to show how Chief Justice Marshall was not establishing judicial supremacism, but constitutional supremacism. When you understand the adjacent cases and the political events that led up to the decision, it becomes apparent that he was actually deferring to the Jefferson administration and refusing to interfere by enlarging the scope of judicial power. Based on the scholarship of 11th Circuit Judge William Pryor, I prove that Marbury actually shows the exact opposite of judicial supremacy. We are at a unique point in history to finally bury this myth. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Even though inflation has slowed for one month, we are trapped between a vicious trio of debt, record prices, and a recession. Meanwhile, judges continue to take over Trump’s presidency, and he refuses to exert himself over the court and/or force his agenda through Congress. Quite the contrary. RINOs successfully downed his pick for CDC director, yet they didn’t get "the Chip Roy treatment." Next, we’re joined by Cindy Byrd, the state auditor and inspector of Oklahoma, who has exposed waste, fraud, and wokeness in red-state government before it was cool. She breaks down the details of her unique forensic audits of Tulsa’s school district, which found that woke administrators were shoveling taxpayer funding to left-wing vendors and continuing CRT and DEI programs in contravention to state law. She also showed how to save money and root out eligibility fraud in Medicaid. Sadly, the legislature had no interest in following her recommendations. Now she is running for lieutenant governor to actually implement the ideas we all campaign on but that she championed before it was cool. Learn more about your ad choices.

During the Biden administration, I warned that the government was engaging in “economic grooming” by acculturating the public to accept the current price levels as the new normal and to deem slower rates of increase as victories against inflation. We are seeing the same things from Trump supporters misinterpreting one month’s CPI report. We cannot lie to people that inflation has been solved without cutting spending or without a deep recession. Next, we’re joined by April Cromer, vice chair of the South Carolina state Freedom Caucus, who reports bad news from the South Carolina budget. The GOP governor and, yes, supermajority worked with every Democrat to pass a bloated and woke budget. The Freedom Caucus in South Carolina (unlike the national one) refused to go along with it and has exposed that supermajorities are just as fraudulent as narrow majorities. She explains how she beat an incumbent and why primaries are more important than general elections. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

So Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is now a hero, but Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) deserves a primary?Sadly, Trump is repeating the mistakes of his first term by demanding that conservatives in Congress undermine his own stated agenda. Also, what ever happened to banning mRNA?Next, we tackle the housing crisis caused by government with banking and housing expert Alex Pollock of the Mises Institute. Alex explains the entire nature and history of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginne Mae, and the FHA and how they are inflating the housing market by backing mortgages that are insolvent. Along with the Federal Reserve, they are the source of the housing crisis. Now is the time to unwind them completely, not return them to a venture socialism public-private partnership.

Not only are the spending cuts from the DOGE either being exaggerated or struck down by the courts, but now its existence is being used as an excuse not to cut spending for real in budget bills. Today, I explain how the budget CR is a bigger betrayal than you think. I shoot down about a dozen arguments in support of it. Unfortunately, Trump has pressured the Freedom Caucus rather than the RINOs, so we will wind up with the same old. Unless they come up with a new playbook, we know how this play ends. Also, I’m very concerned about the slow pace of deportations and explain the factors holding them up. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin by discussing the need and opportunity for Trump to push back against judicial supremacism lest all his policies go to waste. Next, I delve into a new poll showing how support for gay marriage is plummeting, yet Republicans refuse to utilize the Overton window and instead are making everything about female sports. The same thing applies to the budget and spending cuts. They are underestimating the mandate they have to actually eliminate programs. Trump needs to use his megaphone to explain how we are subsidizing unaffordability with these very programs both parties have supported. Sadly, they are on the cusp of playing "Lucy and the football" with the budget bill. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin by delving into Trump’s speech last night. What is self-evident is that Trump could crush Democrats in a shutdown or brinksmanship fight over the budget. But sadly, he is pressuring conservatives to vote for the important bills that will fund everything he is promising to cut or reform. We’re joined by the one and only Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who breaks down the math of the budget proposals to show the cognitive dissonance among Republicans. They cheer the DOGE cuts but then can’t even get behind a proposal that won’t make things worse than under Biden. Massie makes it clear that you can’t complain about inflation and support the current path. Finally, I discuss the ramifications of the Supreme Court ruling on Trump’s executive spending cuts and why he either needs to stand up to the courts or codify his policies in the budget bill.

We begin with a discussion about the state of the economy and the proposed tariffs. Trump is right to focus on the long-term and be willing to suffer short-term stock markets, but why blow the capital on tariffs? Instead, Trump should focus on massive health care and welfare reform and regulatory cuts before pursuing tariffs. Next, we’re joined by Nic Hulscher, epidemiologist at the McCullough Foundation, who updates us on the dangerous bird-flu vaccine for animals. He explains how this vaccine will create more dangerous strains. He also warns that the culling of the chickens itself is responsible for nearly all human transmission. Hulscher also discusses his efforts to ban mRNA in the states and offers us useful resources that collate the full list of harms from the most important academic studies. Finally, on a personal level, he explains what it was like as a public health student during COVID as the only vaccine realist in the department. Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s really simple. When Trump uses his bully pulpit, he moves the people. We are seeing that quite vividly with the fight over Ukraine funding. However, if he doesn’t extend this to his fight with Congress and the courts, much of the good work will be washed away. To that end, I explain how Trump can totally win a government shutdown over the budget. He can use his Tuesday-night speech to lay out his vision on the economy and how the welfare state is causing inflation. He must also put the courts in their place. At the end, I delve into my concerns with the cryptocurrency scams. Finally, is RFK Jr. going soft now that he is actually in political combat? Learn more about your ad choices.

In this free-for-all Friday show, we cover an enormous amount of ground on the news of the day, centered around the point that we need to end photo-op conservatism. I go through immigration, spending, economy, mRNA, and a bunch of other issues to show how the grifter corps of the online Right is ensuring that we get nothing but photo ops. I also address the degeneracy with the embrace of the Tate brothers and how it’s emblematic of those who don’t believe their own talking points. Finally, what is the lesson we can learn from the gun rights movement? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We seem to have universal support in the GOP for ending welfare and criminality among immigrants, but we’re forgetting the great replacement of Americans is still a problem culturally and in the labor market. I’m joined today by Jason Richwine, resident scholar at the Center for Immigration Studies, for a discussion on how the STEM worker shortage is a hoax. He uses the price of eggs to show how scarcity creates a sharp rise in prices, so why don’t we see a sharp rise in wages for STEM workers if there really is a shortage? We also discuss the scope of anchor babies boxing out American citizenship and how mass balkanized migration has even contributed to less American fertility by weakening community cohesion. Finally, we discuss the folly of those who think that mass migration will suddenly work for us if it’s orchestrated by Trump and Republicans. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, I provide the most in-depth math behind taxes and spending in budget reconciliation and the message Republicans are lacking. Under the current trajectory, Republicans will incur the worst mix of policy and political outcomes. They are mistakenly blowing their capital on inefficient tax cuts that can easily be demagogued in exchange for fake spending cuts that will be enough to elicit political blowback but not enough to reduce inflation. I juxtapose their bill to my proposal, which would make health care reform, welfare reform, foreign labor cuts, and small business tax cuts the core of the agenda. I explain how I would deal with the expiring tax cuts differently and how our plan is much more populist in message but at the same time more conservative in outcome.

We begin today with some concerning political news about gubernatorial endorsements of candidates with no proven record. I explain the difference between candidates who talk a good game and those who actually survived the trial by fire that determines outcomes. Next, we’re joined by famed cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough for a spellbinding presentation on bird flu. He explains the absurdity of mass-killing chickens and how our government officials and the public are not even aware of this being the source of record prices for eggs. He also provides chapter and verse on how this virus was likely made more transmissible by a USDA facility in Georgia and how the vaccines being prepared will make things worse. Finally, we touch on the problems with the flu vaccines and RSV vaccines and how excess deaths from the COVID shots are reverberating to this day. Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump has shown over the weekend that he is clearly frustrated by the pace of both deportations and spending cuts. We focus mainly on the spending issue today, showing how Republicans have done a poor job communicating to the public how these very programs that people are dependent upon are driving inflation, creating asset bubbles, and devaluing the purchasing power of the dollar in a way that only benefits the wealthy. Specifically, I show how Trump can champion deficit reduction in a populist way, particularly for young voters who are screwed the most by deficit spending and the housing crisis it has induced. Next, we delve into problematic Trump endorsements and the need to replace primaries with conventions. Also, judicial supremacism will continue to blunt a lot of perceived gains from this administration. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin by discussing how Congress is proving that lawmakers have no interest in cutting spending. The problem is that Trump doesn’t realize the mutual exclusivity of his desire to cut inflation with his concurrent desire to cut nothing but “waste, fraud, and abuse.” I explain how this is similar to the Obamacare fight of 2017. This is why transactional gold is the only solution. We’re joined by BlazeTV host Kevin Freeman, author of "Pirate Money" and one of the leaders of the movement, for an amazing update on the transactional gold bills moving through the states. He believes some states beginning with Utah, Oklahoma, and Florida will adopt the plan this year. Kevin explains how marrying the gold rush with transactional and liquid currency is the perfect balance between the status quo of a bankrupt, inflationary dollar mixed with people buying nonfunctional bars of gold to be stored rather than spent. This is the single most important movement of our time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Conservative media are lying to you. They are conflating opportunities with outcomes and momentum with actualized gains. They are giving the impression that draining the swamp, cutting spending, and ending illegal immigration are easy. Yet the only way to secure enduring victories is fighting through adversity. I explain what some of those choke points are and how, absent the desire or ability to power through them, most of these gains will be reversed. Also, we must make sure we don’t treat Mexico like Afghanistan and work toward quixotic goals of propping up the Mexican government against the cartels. Instead, we must create a buffer zone and use conventional military force, not special forces or CIA. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

There is so much potential to downsize government, but if we allow our colleagues in conservative media to lie to the public, we will not stick the landing. Too many people are being told that DOGE magically discovered trillions in savings without cutting a single program. That is simply not true, and this is reflected in the congressional budget, where lawmakers are struggling to find even a fraction of those savings. There is a role for the DOGE, but we need to be honest about what it is going to take to actually bring down inflation. We go program by program and strategy by strategy to cut through the optical illusions and false choices. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What happened to banning mRNA? Why are the COVID vaccines still on the market and their makers now getting contracts for other vaccines, including for the bird flu? We’re joined today by Dr. Kat Lindley, who is not letting go of this issue. She is warning that because we failed to kill the pandemic playbook, it is being run again almost word for word with bird flu. Those running the playbook created a more virulent strain with gain-of-function research, killed off herd immunity among the chickens, are engaging in mass testing, and now are on the cusp of pushing dangerous vaccines that will only exacerbate the pathogen – all elements of the COVID playbook. We discuss the need for RFK Jr. to order a change, not just at HHS but at the USDA, to stop mass testing and mass vaccination and push for a strategy of herd immunity instead of slaughtering the chickens. She also calls upon RFK, along with the states, to immediately ban mRNA vaccines. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We’ve never had such an open lane to implement all of our policies federally and in the red states. Even the media is conceding that Trump is running circles around the Democrats and has a bigger megaphone than they do. Yet we still are not sticking the landing on outcomes because of the "holy trinity of strategies" I outline on today’s show. They are pressuring Congress to enact his orders, standing up to the courts, and elevating the right people in the red states. I discuss how RINOs in Congress are fighting every last spending cut. The reason we are not sticking the landing is because conservatives lack personnel who believe in our values for real and have the brains to implement them. I read an incisive article from New Hampshire explaining how the dearth of elite human capital on the Right ensures that even when we pass good laws, we fail to stick the landing.

Between the good bills we have introduced in red states and Trump’s executive orders, the sky is the limit as to what we can accomplish. But if we sit back as pundits and don’t push activism, none of this will come to fruition. We tackle the courts, budget reconciliation, the lack of a vision from congressional Republicans, and the need for Trump to offer affirmative direction. I prove once again that the best policies from Trump so far will be terminated if we don’t embed them in the budget bill. Next, we go through the latest news on immigration enforcement and how Republicans are trying to undermine the policies that will actually work. Finally, I offer a lightning round of the bills I’m working on in red states. We are gaining traction but will come up short if we don’t apply pressure to the RINOs. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, I offer everything you need to know about the House budget reconciliation proposal. It will blow a massive hole in the deficit, exacerbate inflation, provide Democrats with a good campaign message, and leave us with no accomplishments. Instead, I lay out a vision of what Trump should do with welfare reform, ending foreign worker programs, cutting all global warming regulations, repealing Obamacare, and using the tax code to reform health care. Trump is uniquely suited to use the bully pulpit and message transformational change. If we fail to take this approach, we are doomed to a life of crushing, unaffordable prices.

So many of us have been inspired by Trump’s executive orders, but unfortunately most of them will not last, because Republicans have not changed who they are. I explain why Trump needs to push back against judicial supremacism and demand a better budget reconciliation bill in Congress in order for him to stick the landing on his agenda. Sadly, Republicans have not changed even in deep-red states. We’re joined today by Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma state superintendent of public instruction, who is trying to challenge the idea of flooding our schools with illegal aliens. He discusses how Republicans are fighting him stridently because they support illegal aliens. We also discuss the problems of blue-city education budgets, foreigners dominating our universities, and the need to keep anything not oriented toward improving skills out of our schools.

Unless we terminate the erroneous notion of judicial supremacism, we will be left with tyranny, and Trump and red states will be powerless to change anything. In today’s extra-long episode, I offer the definitive history, legal case, and philosophical argument against judicial supremacism and in favor of constitutional decompartmentalization. I explain the system our founders adopted and rejected, the true lesson of Marbury v. Madison, and the difference between judicial review and judicial supremacism. There is no such thing as a judicial veto on a law and policy, and the other branches have an even greater obligation and power to push back against bad rulings that affect broad political questions. I explain how Trump can "walk before running" and slowly inch away from judicial supremacism in cases where judges try to mandate affirmative executive actions on issues that are clearly out of their jurisdiction.

There is a ton of focus on Trump’s White House, which is why we are getting a lot of good policies. However, there is less focus on Trump’s interaction with Congress and primary endorsements. Hence, we get a lot less. Today, I raise some concerns about progress on immigration enforcement and spending cuts. While Trump has signaled a good direction on a lot of policies, many of them are not resulting in full outcomes — either because of the courts or a lack of follow-through. I explain what needs to be done on immigration to get the deportation numbers up and what Trump must do on budget reconciliation. Also, inflation is getting worse, and now we have fewer buyers of U.S. treasuries. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It’s worse than you think. Republicans won a huge mandate in Texas, yet a group of RINOs worked with Democrats to hand control of the legislature to Democrats. We’re joined by Rep. Brian Harrison (R), one of the few conservatives willing to fight corrupt leaders, for an in-depth discussion on how decent conservatives get co-opted by the very leadership empowering Democrats. In a wide-ranging discussion, we take you inside these legislative chambers to understand the tactics and psychology devious GOP leaders use to literally empower Democrats, block conservative priorities, and at the same time maintain an image as conservatives. Unless we find a way to distinguish our jerseys, we will continue to flush red states down the toilet. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin by discussing the need for Trump to get better on endorsements and also set a direction for Congress to include his executive orders in budget reconciliation. This is the only way to secure enduring victories. Nowhere is this more evident than with immigration. Today, I explain why we have one chance to finally end illegal immigration and why, if we don’t fully utilize street-level enforcement, deterrent, and de-magnetization, the uniparty will claim we are not capable of solving the issue ever again. There are some concerns about the commitment to this objective, both among some in the administration and in red states. I’m also concerned about the mission at the border and whether we will treat it like a military operation. Finally, I offer some thoughts on Trump clarifying his plan for Gaza. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Everyone is trying to make sense of Trump’s latest statements on taking over Gaza. Today, I build a thesis about Trump that is instructive in directing our focus for the next four years. Trump is great at thinking outside the box on big-picture goals. However, because he is not ideological, he is often prone to accepting deals, regardless of the exact details, just to show that his trolling worked. In fact, this often overextends him and forces him to feel pressured into taking deals rather than walking away from them. If we create guardrails and an ideological rudder, the sky is the limit. I also discuss the need to place the elimination of USAID and the Department of Education into budget reconciliation. Plus, how the sovereign wealth fund ties into mRNA and data centers and why that is a great example of Trump’s out-of-the box thinking that needs ideological guardrails.

The swamp is not just in D.C.; it’s in all 50 state Capitols. In fact, it’s even worse in red states, because there is no scrutiny from the public. We begin today by going through some examples of excellent legislation we could pass but that is being blocked by Republicans. I’m joined by Andy Roth of the State Freedom Caucus Network, who gives us his thoughts on the legislative sessions so far. Republican leaders are worse than ever in places like Florida, South Carolina, and Texas. Andy explains how the creation of the Freedom Caucus is the only solution to the problem of getting individual members with the courage and acumen to fight against leadership. However, at the same time, he can’t rush into a state to create a caucus unless it won’t be watered down and subverted from within. Roth also teases out which states will be easier and which states will be harder to create a caucus in. Ultimately, we will not drain the red-state swamps without working in primaries and growing Freedom Caucuses. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Just like Joseph’s advice in Pharaoh’s dream, we need to build now in a time of ‘political plenty’ for when Democrats take back power. To the end, I’m concerned about what the administration is doing to keep promoting the homosexual agenda minus the transgenderism. We need to maximize the momentum and not allow subversive Republicans to blunt it. Nowhere is this more evident than with immigration. Today, I offer a comprehensive plan for ending illegal immigration in the interior while using the military at the border, not for a supportive law enforcement operation, but for a military operation to create a buffer zone. I also go through some concerns about inflation and the budget placing us ad a disadvantage with the tariffs. The tariffs would be much more effective if we first cut spending and implemented regulatory reform. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin today with an update on the Florida RINO amnesty fight with Governor DeSantis. These people are hell-bent on bringing the state back to pre-DeSantis governance controlled by special interests. Yet they run on our issues when they campaign. This is why we must self-separate, and this is where the Freedom Caucus comes in. We’re joined today by Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), the new chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, for an update on the caucus' fight with leadership over trying to actually fulfill the promise to bring down inflation. He discusses the plan for cutting spending and budget reconciliation. We also delve into the need for wholesale health care reform to bring back life, liberty, and fiscal solvency. Finally, he discusses the need to responsibly grow the Freedom Caucus in such a way that imposters cannot get away with co-opting our brand to promote the uniparty’s special interests.

We begin today with some domestic politics and the concern that RINOs continue to destroy red states while wrapping themselves in Trump’s name. People close to Trump who claim to share the values of the base need a strategy to shut this down. Next, we’re joined by our foremost Latin American affairs expert, Joseph Humire, for a riveting discussion on why we need to rebuild the Monroe Doctrine. Humire explains the geopolitical situation, how China and Russia are taking over critical areas of Latin America, and how we could easily combat their influence. We need not treat Latin America like the Middle East and engage in nation-building. He offers some ideas on how to use a carrot-and-stick approach to assert our national interests — all built upon creating a security perimeter. He also discusses the future of the cartels, the threat of Venezuela, and the diplomatic strategy behind the Panama Canal spat with the Panamanian leader. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Left pays its people to be activists. The Right pays people to be pundits. The reality is you get more of what you pay for. This is how RINOs continue to fool voters and get re-elected. I delve into depth of how the Florida legislative leaders subverted DeSantis’ effort to enforce immigration law while packaging their bill in Orwellian terms. We’re joined today by one of the best Florida legislators, Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, one of the only ones to vote against the bad bill and a key author of so many of DeSantis’ key accomplishments. He explains how leadership manipulates the time, resources, and procedures to force members into false choices and essentially hands control of the state to Democrats. He also makes the case for why he is running for Florida’s chief financial officer. He is a policy innovator and a model of what we need in public office. Learn more about your ad choices.

What occurred this week in the Florida legislature is a Rosetta stone to cracking the code of GOP perfidy. Republicans are incorrigibly bought out by special interests and are just as favorably disposed to open borders as they ever were. The only thing that has changed is that they use Trump’s name to obfuscate their betrayals and make it even harder to defeat them in the primaries. I go through the policy and political background of the legislative leadership’s fight with DeSantis over immigration enforcement and how it sheds light on every other issue in other states as well. We will not change anything unless we modify our approach to primaries and get Trump to make better endorsements. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Following the first week of the Trump administration, we have a lot of good policies and some bad ones. Our job is to cement the good ones into enduring victories while swiftly swatting down the bad ones. One of the challenges will be the courts. They are already standing up for illegal aliens and preventing states from enforcing the laws. I go through immigration, foreign policy, and spending to show how there is a ton of potential but also conflicting policies. Also, Trump should push for maritime removals and then anchor the ships off the coasts of nations that refuse to readmit them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today, we offer the full case against anchor-baby jurisprudence. I’m joined by Amy Swearer, senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, who has written scholarly papers showing conclusively that the plain meaning of the 14th Amendment was not adopting unqualified birthright citizenship for foreigners and most certainly not for illegal aliens and temporary visitors. The entire philosophy of citizenship, both pre- and post-adoption of the 14th Amendment, was built upon consent and allegiance. Amy explains why Wong Kim Ark expresses a false view of history but at the same time is clear that birthright citizenship cannot apply to those here against the national consent.

We begin today by continuing to connect the dots between the tech bros, Arab donors, and this push for AI data centers. It is reverberating across other important issues as well, such as immigration and foreign policy. These donors are continuing to steer Trump’s administration in the direction of Biden’s foreign policy. Next, we’re joined by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), a former Freedom Caucus chair, who tells us why he is considering running for Arizona governor. He feels that Arizona is at a crossroads, and he wants to wean the state off federal dependence. We go into great detail on the federal budget and the need to bend the trajectory of spending and health care programs. He is working hard to put transformative spending cuts into budget reconciliation. Biggs also discusses other potential opportunities to enact good legislation without the obstacle of the Senate filibuster. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We need to avoid playing "Lucy and the football" like we did during the first administration. I stress the need to fight to enshrine the good proposals of this administration but also to raise red flags about problematic trends. Trump has made it a priority to facilitate a half-trillion-dollar investment in seeding the country with AI centers. It is understandable to want to compete in AI innovation, but we need to understand where this money is coming from and where it’s headed. Right off the bat, the Oracle CEO painted a dystopian vision of transhumanism with mRNA technology that will violate informed consent. I also lay out many concerns for local communities and how the feds might be using emergency powers, cronyism, and venture socialism to strong-arm our communities with beacons of foreign control, land-grabs, cultural transformation, and a surveillance state.

Today, I analyze Trump’s first day in office in general and the executive orders specifically. On the one hand, most of the orders are not yet enduring and we still have to cross a number of hurdles. But on the other hand, the willingness to get rid of things like birthright citizenship demonstrates that the sky is the limit in terms of the mandate. We need to think much bigger. There is no reason why Trump can’t use his unprecedented bully pulpit and veto threat to get more out of Congress. It also shows that we don’t need to accept liberal policies from this administration. Trump is willing to deliver what we demand, so why back down? Keep the optimism, but let’s vigilantly guard against bad influences on this administration so that it will endure for years to come. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The excuses are over. The Democrats, the media, and their enablers have all been defeated. Trump has the greatest mandate, bully pulpit, and consolidation of power in modern history. He can use that power to crush the Left, or he can use that power to crush the right. It’s that simple. I lay out some realistic expectations of what Trump needs to do on energy and immigration beyond the initial executive orders. I also make the case for why a renewal and expansion of the travel ban from Islamic countries is absolutely vital and is an example of an enduring victory that we must forge. It will also be very revealing to see if he listens to the voices of original MAGA figures or some of these new globalist donors. It is our job to fight for the good forces in this administration and call out the subversive ones. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The most important question in politics is this: Who treats politics as a means to policy outcomes, and who treats it as an end in itself? If you are in the former camp, you will be more appalled when Republicans do liberal things because that prevents us from ever achieving our goals. I use this theme to provide updates on the atrocious hostage deal, budget reconciliation, and some of the Cabinet confirmation hearings. Republicans are now going to the media and bashing the only plan on the table to actually cut spending. Why? Because politics is an end in itself. Finally, I discuss why the housing and credit crises are all related to the inflation-driven spending, yet Republicans are making up excuses to distract from cutting spending.

Today, I dispel all of the loser arguments in favor of a hostage deal supported by Qatar, the Muslim Brotherhood, Biden, and every Democrat around. What we witnessed yesterday was the power and danger of the purported right-wing leader joining with the Left to crush us. It doesn’t have to be this way. I believe we are at a crossroads. If we ramp up the pressure on Trump, there are still good things we can do. I make the case for divesting from Qatar and shoring up Trump’s foreign policy to make sure he doesn’t endorse a Palestinian state. I also share some thoughts about DeSantis’ pick of Ashley Moody for the vacant Florida Senate seat. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We could bury our heads in the sand, or we could force a course correction with Trump before it’s too late. Nobody is discussing this, but earlier this week, Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, shocked the world and pressured Israel to accept a deal to essentially rebuild Hamas and release 1,000 terrorists in exchange for only some of the hostages, who might not even be alive. I explain what this represents, where it’s coming from, and how there is a shadow Cabinet around Trump that is tied in with global special interest money, including foreign Arab money tied to Qatar, that will subvert even the views of Trump’s relatively good Cabinet. Trump also has a desire to be seen as a nonpartisan deal-maker to solve left-wing goals. That’s why the global Left’s opposition to him has essentially evaporated. If we don’t demand a course correction now, you can expect us to get rolled by the same people for the same reasons on spending, immigration, social issues, and every other priority that has even less support among Republican elites than Israel.

We begin today by discussing how Florida legislative leaders are pushing back against DeSantis because they actually still support illegal immigration. I demonstrate how Republicans in general are more left-wing than ever before. Next, we’re joined by a special guest who joins us anonymously under his social media screen name, Non-Hyphenated American. He came to the U.S. from India in 1991 through a student visa and H-1B and became a patriotic, conservative citizen. But he is here today to warn us that the program has turned into a conveyor belt to replace the American worker and, worse, subvert American culture. He describes how the sheer number of immigrants and the circumstances through which the Indians are brought in are subverting American values with a problematic mindset that is creating high-income balkanized ghettos. His presentation is as riveting as it is unique. In many respects, he believes that what the Indian visa mill is doing is more of a threat than illegal immigration. Learn more about your ad choices.

The bad news is that Trump and Republicans are already walking back campaign promises on inflation and immigration. The good news is that he hasn’t even taken office yet and none of this misdirection is irrevocable. This is why we are at a crossroads. We can either continue treating the party like a boyfriend and covering for its betrayals with excuses. Or we can treat them like wayward children and force them into a better direction. I offer ideas for how we do that on spending and immigration. I also warn about the growing evidence that Trump will get involved in red-state gubernatorial primaries, as RINOs work to get his endorsement. Plus, the importance of DeSantis’ special session on state-based immigration enforcement. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On today’s show, we make the cultural and economic case to shut down mass migration — both legal and illegal. We have to shoot high and move the Overton window. We’re joined by George Fishman, senior legal fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies and one of the foremost experts on immigration law, to discuss his recent piece arguing that the 1924 immigration law was the greatest piece of legislation for the American worker. We go through 100 years of immigration law and data and juxtapose it to the labor market to show how the 1924 bill helped launch the American middle class, while the recent mass migration has crushed the American worker. The sad reality is that unlike 100 years ago, our elite governing class refuse to deliver for the American worker, including the politicians who run on doing just that.he politicians who run on doing just that.

On today’s special show, I engage in the deepest dive into the tax code available on the web. I do this to show that we are facing a policy and political checkmate trying to do more tax cuts. Most people don’t pay that much in federal income taxes, thanks to two generations of tax cuts. They are paying exponentially more on the cost of living thanks to the deficit spending, which will be exacerbated by more tax cuts. Democrats already agreed to extend most of the tax cuts, and in order to get the final rates at the top, we are going to have to offer them garbage provisions that aren’t worth the squeeze. In the world we live in today, tax cuts are just not the issue of our time. Reconciliation should be used more for spending. With that said, if Trump is hell-bent on making taxes the main issue, I offer some ideas for small business tax cuts as well as using the tax code to leverage systemic health care reform.
