Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

The Springfield story has the potential to galvanize a largely apathetic conservative electorate. Today, I make the case for red states to convene special sessions and pass several measures to deter illegal aliens from settling in our neighborhoods. If we can’t get Republicans to fight on an issue like this, it will be their moment of the Whigs with the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Nobody wants foreign invaders to take our stuff, so if Republicans can’t achieve anything with such political tailwinds, they will never accomplish anything for us on another issue.

Agree or disagree with me, we do debate analysis today in a way you will not hear anywhere else. There is no way to sugarcoat this, and we do nobody any favors by ignoring the reality and not preparing for the future. Trump was already behind and needed a big night. He needed to paint Harris as the incumbent, but instead he became his own worst enemy and made himself the incumbent. I go through each major point of the debate to show how Trump missed an opportunity and what he could easily have said instead. This is not to look backward but to prepare for the future. We need to rebuild our movement, preserve red states, and also turn out Republican voters in droves so that even if Harris wins, it won’t be a landslide reverberating down the ballot. The good news is that Harris could not defend a single radical position, which demonstrates an opening for the future. We must also ensure that on Nov. 6, we don’t move on to the next huckster but actually elevate conservative voices who have a record of effectively fight for us. Learn more about your ad choices.

The clock is ticking on our chance to save red America from the invasion. Conservative media is busy jousting with the leftover questionable stories of Haitian invaders cooking cats, but that is allowing us to distract from what we do know. We have millions of invaders now flooding smaller cities and fundamentally changing them. I explain the need for a two-pronged approach, with House Republicans refusing to fund Biden’s amnesty programs and red states refusing to allow them in. Unfortunately, conservatives at the national level are so divided that we can’t even have an effective budget strategy. I warn that Biden is gradually granting legal status to these people, which will accelerate birthright citizenship and make it even harder for red states to slow the takeover. At the end, I change gears and discuss a new shocking revelation about the COVID shots causing urinary tract infections and how CDC officials knew about this from as early as December 2020!

We begin with a discussion of how the GOP will fail us in Congress and how it indicates the fact that Republicans don’t really want to beat Democrats. It’s not just that Republicans refuse to govern like conservatives; it’s that their perfidy induces a self-fulfilling dynamic of empowering Democrats and turning red states blue. DeSantis has done the exact opposite in Florida, where he has used the power of government to destroy the Left politically. In no state is this dynamic more evident than in Georgia. We’re joined live at the state Freedom Caucus summit by state Senator Colton Moore (R), the vice chair of the Georgia Freedom Caucus. He explains how the good old boys’ network in Georgia refuses to fight Democrats on election fraud, Fani Willis’ indictments, or even illegal immigration after the murder of Laken Riley. Moore’s actions have gotten him removed from the GOP conference and banned from entering the state House chamber. Moore’s presentation gives us the perfect illustration of both why we need to do surgery on the GOP and how to do it. Absent such surgery, more red states will turn blue Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On today’s special show, I begin by showing how we are facing stagflation in a way that is worse than any government-reported metric. We’re then joined by Oklahoma state Senator Dusty Deevers, who is the vice chair of the newly created Oklahoma Freedom Caucus. He delves into all the reasons why Oklahoma is not red and why the Republicans push crony capitalism and illegal immigration. He also makes the passionate case for abolishing abortion and believes Republicans have always been weak on the issue. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We’re here in Dallas today to celebrate the success of the State Freedom Caucus Network and strategize for the coming years. In a detailed and freewheeling interview, Andy Roth, the president of the network, explains how he was able to create a de facto new party within the Republican Party. He discusses how these members have been able to move the red states to the right, force RINOs into a do-or-die mode of action, and survive 95% of the primary challenges despite being outspent. If you are looking to get involved in the issues that matter in your state, if you have a Freedom Caucus, you are in business. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Recently, Trump endorsed Florida Amendment 3, but his comments show he has been misled about the nature of this amendment. It will exacerbate every one of his stated concerns. Today, I offer numerous reasons why libertarians, who generally scoff at over-regulation of drugs, would be well advised to place their strategic interests ahead of abstract positions and oppose Amendment 3. Given the imbalance of how and under what circumstances it is legalized, in conjunction with so many aspects of our society, health care system, welfare state, and weak enforcement of other crimes, passage of Amendment 3 will not lead to a libertarian outcome. It will turn Florida into a blue hellhole. At the end, I take Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) to task for declining to even oppose abortion on demand and vote against Amendment 4. We have a crisis of a generation of Republicans who don’t even know what they believe on critical issues. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin this post-Labor Day home stretch by cautioning about the need to avoid a sudden loss in November with no preparation or contingency. I also analyze Trump’s recent opposition to Florida’s Amendment 4 but unfortunate support for Amendment 3, which demonstrates that we get exactly what we fight for – no more, no less. Next, I’m joined by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), who is laying down the gauntlet for his colleagues. Chip authored the SAVE Act, which would prevent noncitizens from voting. He believes that attaching it to the budget bill is the most realistic way we could engage in a pre-election policy fight on a meaningful issue that will increase the chances that Republicans win. We engage in a freewheeling discussion of how Republicans must make a big play in order to win this election, why Republicans are underperforming, and what to expect from House Republicans if they pull it out in November.

Too many people are making every important political debate about the decision of whether to vote for a flawed Trump over Harris. Today, I offer a unique insight into Trump’s betrayal of the life cause. We need to divorce the strategic decision of whom to vote for from our broader beliefs and activism. One can still reluctantly vote for Trump but not excuse his nonsense and, in fact, double down on fighting against abortion amendments. I broaden this discussion to other issues as well to show that we represent much more than a five-minute decision on a ballot once every four years. Also, if you sell yourself as an influencer, your job is to influence the politicians on behalf of the people, not to influence the people on behalf of the politicians. What you do every day in between is what defines you. Politicians are horses to ride toward a fixed destination. They don't ride you aimlessly into oblivion. Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin today by showing how all of the pro-life Republicans who screwed us on every issue are now screwing us on the abortion issue as well. Outside Florida, there is no organized opposition to these abortion amendments among state party leaders. Next, we’re joined by my friend Andy Fox, who just won a seat on the Knox County Commission, for a fun discussion on how to run for local office. We discuss both the imperative and the mechanics of running for local office. We need to break out of this dynamic of politics being a spectator sport rather than a participatory sport on the right. We also discuss the importance of mid-sized red counties like Knox County and how the Left is beginning to make inroads into these areas. Fox believes that the historical conservative nature of these counties has bred complacency and has perpetuated a class of Republicans who still believe they can and must compromise with people who will destroy their heritage. Are you up to the challenge of keeping your red county conservative? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The bad news is that Harris is up in the polls, Republicans are down a lot in Senate races, and Democrats have tended to outperform their polling. The good news, however, is that Harris clearly has not gotten a bounce out of the convention and is now trying to run away from the open-border and Green New Deal policies. What this all demonstrates is that if we can make the election about the issues, Harris will lose. I make the case why it’s better to have the budget fight over release of dangerous illegal aliens into our neighborhoods than about the SAVE Act, as being pushed by House Republicans. We also discuss the "political activism Chernobyl" and how there are no conservative players on the field fighting any issue in the states. We are only losing these ballot initiatives because we fail to fight back. We’re seeing signs of life now in Florida against the abortion amendment. Finally, I discuss the good and bad news from last night’s Oklahoma elections, the need to prepare for legislative sessions, and the imperative to change state laws to get rid of “nonpartisan” elections for local office.

We begin today’s discussion by noting the importance of RFK’s speech on chronic illness and the need for red states to protect independent local farmers and ranchers. Next, we’re joined by Utah state Rep. Trevor Lee (R), who discusses the legislature’s recent reforms to the ballot initiative process. Soros and his allies are using direct democracy and oligarchy, which not coincidentally tend to merge into one, in order to make red states blue. They are mixing initiative petitions with ranked-choice voting, unelected redistricting commissions, and judicial supremacy to enact what they cannot achieve in a legislature. Trevor discusses his fight to make the legislature supreme in lawmaking, as our founders envisioned. We also discuss the need for state Republican parties to refuse election money and hold conventions instead of primaries. Finally, Trevor warns that states like Utah are being seeded with refugees and illegal aliens who are changing the character of the state – and it’s all by design. Unless we get involved in local red-state elections, we cannot enact these reforms. And if we fail to enact these reforms, red states will turn blue. Learn more about your ad choices.

The more Trump falls behind in the race, the more he seems inclined to move to the left and blame his electoral problems on conservatives rather than his own image. I go through some of his recent lurches to the left — not for the purpose of saying to stay home but to begin building a parallel movement to fix the GOP beginning today. Voting for Trump over Harris is not mutually exclusive with remaining true to who we are down-ballot and on the issues, even when that conflicts with Trump. Next, I delve deeply into a budding fight in Florida, with almost every elected Florida Republican purposely picking a fight with DeSantis over a tiny development project in a few state parks. The same people who refuse to join any of his fight against the Left, including on ubiquitous abortion and marijuana use, are suddenly feigning outrage over quality of life in the parks. It’s built on insidious lies and exposes the fact that the Florida GOP is as bad as it always was. We need to do major surgery on this party no matter what happens in November.

We begin today’s discussion with a postmortem on the Democratic National Convention and how Trump’s challenge going forward is to make sure Harris is pegged as the incumbent. So far, Harris has successfully painted him as owning the status quo. I also delve into the partial victory at the Supreme Court on state requirements for proof of citizenship before voting. Once again, Amy Coney Barrett — and to an extent, Brett Kavanaugh — betrayed us. Next, we’re joined by Amanda Radke, a South Dakota cattle rancher who has been a leader in the fight against the green energy pipeline. She celebrates a state supreme court decision that will help block this pipeline project and its accompanying land grab. She has an important presentation on how land controls food and he who controls the food controls the people. If we don’t push back against the Green New Deal and anti-freedom land and farming policies, cattle ranches will become extinct and a handful of foreign-owned companies will ensure that we lack a diverse and abundant supply of cheap, healthy meat. The fights for land use, cattle ranching, and deregulation, along with opposing green energy and conservation subsidies, are among our most important to-do items this coming legislative session.

Republicans lack effective communicators who can use a wealth of data, narratives, and real-life stories showing how harmful the Biden and Harris policies have been to Americans. I begin today by showing how pathetic the Republican Party is. At a time when Democrats are warning, from their perspective, that Republicans might turn America into Florida, we can’t even get the Florida GOP to support DeSantis on critical issues. Next, I deliver a blitz of data and information on teenage gangsters being released into the country and how easy it would be to message this issue during a budget fight. I also go through the state of the economy to prove how venture socialism has delivered crushing stagflation to nearly everyone but Democrat donors from the seven largest corporations. I also note how Republicans can easily use the new trend of late-term abortions and use of dangerous abortion pills to turn the tide on the issue. We have never had more facts on our side. What we lack is a movement with conviction and a vision. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We finally have good news to share! First, we begin with a discussion about ranked-choice voting in Alaska and how red states could become blue if we don’t do surgery now. Next, I give an overview of the Florida school board races to demonstrate that DeSantis has made greater strides in winning back large metro areas for Republicans, but that momentum will stall unless the party changes its image. But the big news is Wyoming. We’re joined by Jessie Rubino, Wyoming state director for the State Freedom Caucus Network, who breaks down the conservative wave in last night’s legislative elections. Conservatives likely picked up 11 seats in the Wyoming House and now should have a governing majority in both chambers. We discuss the opportunities and challenges of fighting the GOP establishment and how we could easily change the agenda of red states if we only remained focused. Learn more about your ad choices.

Rather than focusing on the stupid Democrat convention, conservatives should be strategizing about what looks to be an impending election loss. They must figure out how to make a big play to change this election while also building an insurance policy in red states. I continue our discussion from last week on how new data is reinforcing what we’ve seen in recent elections, with Republicans getting slaughtered in critical suburbs. This will not only lead to a Harris victory but leave us in a vulnerable position in Congress and numerous state legislatures. Towards the end, I discuss the big GOP shift on abortion and how it exemplifies an old adage of mine: Republicans will vigorously fight only when the ball is not in play but then lie in a state of coma when the Super Bowl is actually being played.

For years, all we got with Republicans was the promise of “the lesser of two evils.” Meanwhile, things always get worse, and now Republicans can’t even win any more because the voters sense a lack of sincerity. There has to be a point when we finally pull the plug on “vote Republican no matter what.” In my view, that line has been drawn in the Utah gubernatorial race. We’re joined by Utah state Rep. Phil Lyman, who is challenging Gov. Spencer Cox as a write-in candidate during the general election. Lyman makes the case for why this situation is different. He believes that he is the rightful nominee after having won the convention. He describes the web of corruption surrounding the players and the process through which Cox gathered signatures. He also shows how Cox is so liberal that it would actually be worse for him to win than the Democrat. This is something we must keep in mind for the future in other states, if we ever hope to finally break out of the vicious cycle of uniparty failure theater. Learn more about your ad choices.

We need to diversify our political investments just like we would financial investments. We need to understand the limitations of Trump to even win, much less change things, as well as our limited ability to alter the outcome of the presidential election at an individual level. However, when it comes to red state local and statewide races, we can accomplish so much more. I also explain why I’m supporting Phil Lyman’s write-in campaign for governor of Utah against Spencer Cox. In that vein, we’re joined by New Hampshire state rep. Emily Phillips who got elected as a school board member fighting mask mandates and is now challenging a RINO state senator. She explains why her election embodies both the opportunities and challenges conservatives face in making red state legislatures red. They are truing to shield members from having to take tough votes and her entire mission is to force them to take those tough votes. She also shows how RINOs are so shameless and have no fear of God that they are willing to lie about conservative challengers and paint them as the liberal. It was so bad that Emily’s opponent, a mask supporter, photoshopped a picture of her with a mask to try to make her out to be a COVID freak when in fact she was the local champion against mask mandates.

We begin by discussing the need for conservatives to focus on down-ballot races and other important action items that will determine whether we preserve red-state America regardless of what occurs at the top of the ballot. We’re joined today by James Uthmeier, chief of staff to Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is running the Florida Freedom Fund to prevent Florida from becoming California. He warns that Amendment 4 is the most radical abortion initiative in the country. It will codify abortion until birth with zero parental notification and no ability of the legislature to regulate any aspect of the procedure, health care provider, or clinic. The Left is using egregiously deceptive language to vote on poll-tested talking points rather than genuine lawmaking. This is why we must restrict the initiative petition process to preserve Red America. Likewise, James warns that Amendment 3 is the most open-ended marijuana legalization that will make it free to use in every corner of the state – public and private – and will result in turning the state into California. He notes that if conservatives only got on the playing field, we’d easily beat back both amendments. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Right now Trump is not winning because the focus is not on the critical issues. Today, I paint a vivid picture of how Republicans can make the entire buildup to early voting about the cost of living, but especially about terrorists, murderers, rapists, gangsters, and fentanyl traffickers flooding our communities. If Trump were to ask Speaker Johnson to convene a special session of Congress during the Democrat convention, Trump could give a speech about the border on the steps of the Capitol. I provide an endless litany of stories and data about the Harris administration releasing the worst bad actors of foreign countries into our communities. I also explain how Republicans can easily message the cost-of-living issue. Despite fallacious economic data from the government, 59% believe we are currently in a recession. If Trump loses this election, he has nobody to blame but himself. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today, I issue a clarion warning that unless Trump ups his game and we craft a better message, Harris will win, possibly overwhelmingly. I provide an analysis of how Trump woefully underperformed in suburbs even of small to mid-sized cities in red states in 2020. I go state by state to show how it wasn’t just a question of cheating in blue states that made the difference. Trump underwhelmed his 2016 support across the board, which shows that he has lost critical voters he needs to win a national election. Unless there is a plan to get those voters back, we are basically going into November throwing away this election, along with a number of down-ballot races. It’s better to have this discussion now than in October. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin today with a discussion of Trump’s press conference. It embodied his floundering in terms of both policy and electoral viability. The campaign badly needs a shake-up if Trump hopes to win. His refusal to even commit to opposing abortion through birth in Florida is also stupefying. Next, we’re joined by Texas family doctor Kat Lindley, president of the Global Health Project, who gives us a briefing on bird flu. She warns that global governments are building all of the ingredients for COVID 2.0: use of emergency authorities, gain-of-function research, sudden emergence of mRNA vaccines, and countermeasures that harm freedom and the economy. It’s eerie how similar the playbook is to COVID. In particular, she warns that they are attacking the food supply. We must pass laws in states banning gain-of-function research and also tightening regulations on labeling mRNA in the food supply. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin today by pointing out that Trump is not acting like he wants to win this election. Commensurate with how much you believe this is a must-win election is your obligation to demand a course correction on this campaign. Next, we’re joined by Tracy Shuchart, a financial and commodities expert, to do a deep dive on our economic health. We cover everything from the recent yen crisis and electric vehicle grift to the Federal Reserve stupidity and predicting where the economy will head in the next few months. Tracy notes that because America is the “cleanest of the dirty shirts,” the Fed might be able to continue its Ponzi scheme of artificially inflating the market to the benefit of those who already have a lot of capital, but the average consumer is now facing permanent stagflation. Ultimately, we need to move away from a command economy, cut spending, and abolish the Fed, but there is zero appetite in either party to do what it will take. Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin today’s discussion with a review of the Missouri primaries and how we will continue to lose the big primaries until we change to caucuses and conventions. We badly need new Republicans to make red states red so we can implement big ideas. Perhaps the most important idea is from BlazeTV host Kevin Freeman, author of "Pirate Money." He is building a movement in the legislatures not only to make gold and silver legal tender but to make it practical and functional for today’s digital dollar transactions. His plan will direct the state to create gold-backed savings and checking accounts such that consumers can pay vendors with debit cards in dollars but have the account backed by gold. He also thinks we should add silver to the mix too. Kevin explains how this is the single most viable plan to pull the rug out from under the communism at the federal level, make red states strong, and use your money as a bulwark against tyranny.

Dems are willing to please their base even when it means risking electoral viability; will republicans and Trump fight for their base when it also happens to improve their electoral chances? Today, I explain that Democrats picked Tim Walz because they are confident they can still win, so they felt it was worth pleasing their base. But how come we don’t have a Tim Walz in every red state? There is also no excuse for Republicans to lose this election. I explain how they can easily message things on immigration, national security, and inflation. Finally, I warn that Republican governors and congressmen from red states have embraced the Green New Deal and plan to block its repeal. Learn more about your ad choices.

Everyone is on edge because the stock market is crashing, but let’s not forget that the stock market is all fake. The real economy has already crashed as a result of the Great Reset. The record consumer debt, anemic job growth outside government sectors, and public debt have created an unprecedented collapse that will intensify regardless of which fake numbers are posted at the Nasdaq every day. The difference between this crash and the others is that the feds completely lost control over their “debt arson” and do not have enough fire extinguishers to put out the fire as they did in 2008. Trump must make it clear that House Republicans should not bail out a single sector. Let them crash the way Main Street has since 2020. Next, I discuss the political aspects of the financial crisis. Republicans are assuming a collapse will help Trump, but I argue that they are failing to learn the lessons of the 2022 blue wave. We will not save ourselves politically or policy-wise unless we change course and focus on what matters. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Liberals utilize talking points in pursuit of fixed objectives; conservatives utilize ever-changing objective in pursuit of cheap talking points. I offer several examples of this through the prism of primary results, some aspects of school choice, and support for subsidizing the child-care cartel. Next, I tackle the discussion of a male boxer pummeling a female. Conservatives are outraged about the dangers of men in female sports, but many of them are missing the broader point. The problem with transgenderism isn’t primarily males cosplaying females and certainly not primarily a sports problem. I use a comprehensive Gallup survey to prove how the entire gender confusion is rooted in the feminist androgynous culture that has destroyed femininity among women. This is why the problem is most pronounced by far in Gen Z and exponentially more among women than men. The results of this survey will surprise you. Learn more about your ad choices.

The problem with our movement is that few people have skin in the game, and therefore most don’t even believe their own talking points. Today, I prove how so many who believe Trump must win at all costs are cheering on a campaign strategy that will ensure that Kamala becomes president. Too few people are willing to put their money where their mouth is, such as our guest today. I’m joined by Dr. Kirk Moore, a Utah plastic surgeon who is being indicted by the feds for allegedly discarding 2,000 doses of the shots and helping patients escape the death shot mandates. This is a man who put the Nuremberg Code and Hippocratic Oath ahead of lawless HHS rules, and now the Justice Department is trying to stop him from offering a “defense of necessity” at trial. Why? Because officials don’t want the vaccines to be placed on trial and for the jury to realize that the doctor did the right thing. Moore’s case is a reminder of how many American heroes are relying on the results of this election for pardons. We can’t grift our way to victory. We must be willing to fight like Dr. Moore.

Conservative media figures who were in a coma during 2022 and during the presidential and congressional primaries are suddenly realizing that Trump is veering left and could lose the election anyway. Today, I give a long view of how we got to this point but also a way forward. Now is the time to push Trump on message before it’s too late. But concurrently, all those organizations involved in Project 2025, which Trump just crushed, should take their resources and concoct an agenda for red-state governance. That way, no matter what happens in November, we will have a landing place for liberty in 2025 and an independent, smart, principled movement from which to rebuild nationally thereafter.

First, we begin with a presentation of the scope of terrorists, gangbangers, drunk drivers, and child molesters coming over the border. Republicans will never get a better issue and better timing to drive a budget fight, and the way to do it is to cancel the August recess. Meanwhile, while letting terrorists through our border, the Biden administration is collaborating with Hezbollah overseas. We’re joined today by Tony Badran, news editor of Tablet magazine, who warns that there is a bipartisan disease in Washington to support funding Lebanon and its military and intel apparatus. This is being used to blind Israel and restrain Israelis from defending themselves. Badran goes into great detail about the extent of our assets and personnel on the ground and how this Lebanese grift was strong even under Republican administrations. Tony warns Trump to stay away from people who would expend American capital on our enemies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How is it that we have endless malaise, a border invasion, a terrible economy, and Biden siding with terrorists, yet Republicans seem incapable of sealing the deal? I go through polling showing Republicans getting crushed down-ballot, which signals concern for the presidential election. It doesn’t have to be this way, but it will continue until we change the GOP. And speaking of changing the GOP, we are joined by Missouri gubernatorial candidate and state Senator Bill Eigel. He updates us on his important primary next week and reminds us that governors of red states have more power than you think. He reiterates his promise to push for deportation of illegal aliens from the state. Bill also warns about how the Left is using initiative petitions to push an array of fiscal and social policies to turn red states blue. If we snooze through primaries like this, we will lose our red-state insurance policy against federal tyranny. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Have we forgotten the midterm losses and the uninterrupted streak of Democrat electoral victories since 2017? Rather than learning from the mistakes, Republicans spent the past year and a half doubling down on the same leadership, policies, personnel, and image of the GOP that have been losing for so long. They fooled themselves into thinking they didn’t need to change because of illusory polling data, all built upon the assumption that Biden would be the Democrat nominee. But now that he is out and Democrats are coming back, what is the plan? I offer some ideas. We need to offer a strong vision and contrast from the radical Left and shed some of the gratuitous and off-putting aesthetics, rather than the other way around. Learn more about your ad choices.

First, we begin with today’s news and how Republicans are struggling to capitalize on winning issues because they refuse to use their leverage to take the issues to the brink. Next, we’re joined by Aaron Siri, the premier civil rights attorney for victims of vaccine injury. He has a bombshell one-pager showing, using the FDA’s own information, that not a single vaccine on the child vaccination schedule was approved based on a legitimate long-term placebo-controlled trial. He notes how they were either only days or months long, lacked a large sample size, and/or used other vaccines as the control group! In fact, we see from some of the trials that some of these vaccines had high rates of serious adverse events. Aaron believes we are winning in the court of public opinion and previews some of his legal strategies to expose the truth and finally inject freedom into the biomedical security state.

I’m told by everyone that Trump must win at all costs. Yet Republicans are not doing anything different to ensure they don’t repeat their losing streak. With Democrats resetting the race, Republicans can no longer run the same playbook. I argue that Trump should call on Speaker Johnson (R-La.) to cancel the August recess and focus on victims of illegal immigration every day during the Democrat convention. Trump himself should be invited to speak before Congress. Then lawmakers should pass a budget defunding catch-and-release while promising, “No border? No budget!” Their entire message must be aimed at married suburban voters, not rappers. I also show how Republicans will never, ever cut a penny in spending and will therefore never fight inflation. Finally, I offer a vivid example of how conservatives speaking out against Trump’s left-wing trial balloons will usually result in Trump backing down. This is a repudiation of those who think we need to remain silent. Trump will listen to us if we actually speak out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin today by discussing how Republicans don’t even believe their own talking points, which is why they were unprepared for a general election that didn’t include Joe Biden. I offer broader context to this election by noting that standing for nothing didn’t help them in 2022; it harmed them throughout their tenure in control of the House; and it won’t help them now. They need to run on a bold agenda, and that begins with a budget fight in September. Next, we’re joined by Dorothy Moon, chair of the Idaho GOP, who warns that RINOs are working with Democrats to subvert the grassroots control of the party. This is a threat in every red state. They plan to use the initiative petition process to make “ranked-choice voting” the law of the land. This will confuse voters and enable more liberals to slip through. She believes that in Idaho the grassroots are in a good position to beat back this effort. We also discuss the potential of switching primaries to either conventions or caucuses. As the Left seeks to abolish our primaries, we need to make them even tighter through a representative process controlled by the grassroots. There is a reason why our founders hated “direct” democracy. It leads to oligarchy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Republicans seem to think that Democrats will spontaneously combust on their own. That is not true. Today, I make the case for pushing Trump to run a campaign on bold substance rather than shying away from our issues. He continues to make it clear that he will throw conservatives under the bus and feels that our issues will lose the campaign. The reality is the exact opposite. I also believe House Republicans should force a vote invoking the 25th Amendment to get all Democrats on record as affirming that Biden is fit to serve. They must also have a funding fight over the border NOW. A “run out the clock” strategy is not likely to win an election, and even if it does, watch out for what we will actually win. Larry Fink of BlackRock potentially in a Trump White House? Well, unless we build a movement to make the play calls in Trump’s ear, that is what is awaiting us on the other side of a “stand for nothing” campaign. Let’s actually stand for something and win this. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin by tying together looser observations on the RNC and the impending Democrat switcheroo of Biden. I’m concerned that conservatives have not war-gamed a scenario of Democrats bringing on a fresh face in contrast to Trump’s own image problems and fatigue from his age. We offer ideas for Republicans and Trump to strike while the iron is hot and actually indict Democrats on the key issues before Democrats make the switch. Finally, I discuss the fact that we need to focus on red states where we don’t have to worry about losing to the Democrats and where there should be no clamor to water down our beliefs in exchange for the promise of electoral success. However, there is a looming threat of using ballot petitions to abolish primaries and institute rank-choice voting. The Left has successfully turned Alaska blue using this convoluted method. We must put effort and resources into red states before they permanently turn them into blue states. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Many issues and events surrounding the RNC have brought out important debates among conservatives concerning the balance of principle with the need to appeal to voters. Today, I discuss the need for balance with most principles. We’re not all about workers or corporations. We’re not all about one group or the other. We have fixed principles that are for the “whole of the people,” that you pragmatically present to appeal to various people. But what we don’t need is an overindulgence of an extreme ascetic cosplay to pander to a specific group, all the while using the other extreme as the straw man to justify ridiculous behavior. I also show how Republicans continue to obsess over symbolism, cosplay, and abstract right-wing theory, while in practice, they are ironically continuing the same business as usual.

Today is one of our longest and most foundational shows. For all my life, we’ve been entreated to make the false choice of either voting for RINOs or risking Democrats winning and there is nothing you can do about it. Today, I go through the news of the day with the thesis that every day, conservative influencers, and often ordinary voters, get a vote by getting on the activism playing field and pushing Republicans to the right. I warn about the need to do this with Trump now before it’s too late. He is floating a trial balloon of keeping Jerome Powell at the Federal Reserve and appointing Jamie Dimon as treasury secretary, among a litany of disturbing trends we are seeing. Election Day is November 5, but every day before and after, we can build a movement that fights for our prerogatives. I give some examples of what it means to “vote” in this way and how it’s more powerful than your ballot on the official Election Day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A comprehensive discussion of JD Vance, my thoughts on the convention, and how we have an entire party and movement that are clueless about what they believe. Today is a foundational show where we discuss false dichotomies in populism and the difference between unbridled populism and conservative populism. Too many Republicans are now embracing straight-up socialism under the guise of appealing to the working class, when in fact there is a much better way. I offer some suggestions. With that, I explain the good and the bad with JD Vance. He’s good on social issues and foreign policy but is confused on economic policy. Overall, JD is the best of the names Trump was considering but will not move Trump to the right unless we build a movement around him. Most of all, the fact that Trump picked JD is evidence that he still cares about what the base thinks. We must use our clout with him rather than allowing him to drift.

We all agree that the near-assassination of President Trump should serve as a cathartic moment. But today I warn that it will not change things on its own unless we change our mentality. Now more than ever we have both the opportunity and the imperative to end all compromising with the Left. Fighting means we stop elevating RINOs and people like Mike Johnson. It means that in red states we politically kill the Left and destroy all their policies the way they want to physically harm us. If we believe the Left has blood on its hands, it’s time to ACT like it. We must not be like a groundhog that comes out once every two years to vote Republican and then goes back into the cave. Finally, the attempted assassination cannot be used as pretext to shut down those who raise concerns about a leftward shift of the party. Quite the contrary: It must be used as a galvanizing moment to unite behind an agenda and a strategy that will actually destroy rather than empower the Left. The sky is the limit right now, which is why we must demand change from the GOP in Congress even before the election. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin the show discussing the observation that left-wing lies of grave consequence are able to persist indefinitely without being challenged. That is due to the fact that we have no smart, effective, and principled political movement. One example is the COVID shots. Despite everything we know, they are still being expanded. We’re joined later on by Dr. Angus Dalgleish, one of the most accomplished and experienced oncologists in the U.K. He warns that the vaccines are causing an unmistakable rise in all forms of cancers and that they are clearly much harder to treat. He provides all of the science, data, and clinical observations showing how the same way the shots make you more vulnerable to viral infections because they degrade the immune system, they are also causing cancer. As a man who has spent a half-century in medicine, science, immunology, and oncology, Dr. Dalgleish has lost all faith in the medical profession. Learn more about your ad choices.

Yes, out of nearly 2,000 podcasts, I can definitely say that this is the most important one ever, because it speaks to the most existential threat to our political future and, in turn, our civilization. I connect the dots of Trump’s liberal endorsements, liberal positions, platform change, obsession with Project 2025, and obsession with talking down pro-life and talking up homosexuality to prove how Trump is creating a long-term franchise to own America’s right and then brand it as a Macron- or Bloomberg-style coalition that is a big tent for the corporatist left minus the very far left. The one thing that stands in his way is a principled nationalist right, which is why he is actively waging war against it. I’m not saying not to vote for him; it’s not even Labor Day yet. I appeal to all my colleagues to get on the playing field and exert ourselves over him. He needs pushback before it’s too late. As always, I offer hope about budding endeavors in red states, but those budding successes will be crushed if we allow Trump to consolidate a long-term franchise around a center-left agenda.

First, we begin today’s discussion with a critique of the new Con Inc., which claims to be a reboot of the old GOP but in fact is continuing to espouse right-wing philosophy in the abstract while being MIA or downright subversive when it comes to the raw use of power to implement said ideas. Next, we’re joined by energy expert Steve Milloy of JunkScience.com who thoroughly debunks the entire premise of global warming being linked to carbon output and to our human activity. He notes that we cannot afford to allow Republicans to agree to the lie of the climate religion. It is too destructive. We discuss how the scientific consensus is just like COVID and how just as with COVID policies, wind, solar, and carbon capture actually harm their stated goals of an environmentally friendly universe. We also discuss how drilling for oil is not good enough if we don’t also expand refinery and delivery capacity and repeal all of the subsidies for the green grift. Learn more about your ad choices.

The GOP has a massive tent. Everyone is in it except for people like us. Today, I explain the significance of the GOP platform changes — where the GOP is coming from and where it is headed. This is part of an effort to blunt our momentum against the Rainbow Jihad so the GOP can create consensus around left-wing ideas. I explain the need for conservative figures and groups to induce a “Harriet Miers moment” whereby they read Trump the riot act and move him to the right. This can totally be done. The only reason we have no red line is because we have no enduring principles, which is now reflected in the new GOP platform. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We are headed on a path toward Europe … unless we pressure Trump to the right and start building a parallel, independent movement in the red states. I begin by analyzing the French and British elections. Because the Right in those countries allowed the uniparty to fester for so long, conservatives are now in a permanent minority. We are headed in the same direction, except our system of governance has one escape hatch: federalism. We can still govern fully in large swaths of the country, if we only built upon the growing success of taking over state parties, electing better governors, and strengthening the state Freedom Caucuses. But this is where Trump comes in. Trump has now carpet-bombed Project 2025, which was an agenda on policy and personnel that would actually have made his administration MAGA. I explain how revealing and devastating Trump’s decision is and how he will betray us like there is no tomorrow unless we start holding him accountable. If we don’t, we will be worse off than Europe because Trump governs like Macron but has the adoration of the Right as if he were Le Pen. Learn more about your ad choices.

First, we begin with an analysis of the presidential race. Republicans continue to fight yesterday’s battle and beat a dead horse by going after Biden, with zero plan to fight what is coming next. Moreover, nobody has a plan to fight the uniparty, of which Trump is clearly an ally. Has the system made peace with a Trump presidency? Next, we’re joined by Jill Hines, co-director of Health Freedom Louisiana, who was the lead plaintiff in Murthy v. Missouri, the government censorship case. We go through the appalling ruling, which essentially makes it impossible to sue the government for working with private companies to censor our views. Nonetheless, Jill, as a model activist, believes the group will make progress in additional lawsuits. Also, she is working on a litany of model legislation pertaining to medical freedom and the vaccines, and she has already made enormous progress in Louisiana. She is the model of a stay-at-home mom activist who will build the blueprint for another 1776 revolution. Finally, I leave you with my annual July 4 message. Learn more about your ad choices.

First, we begin today’s show with a breakdown of two terrible Supreme Court rulings on abortion. We are now losing both politically and legally. Barrett and Kavanaugh continue their hypocritical behavior on the issue of judicial standing and are overturning the Fifth Circuit with lightning speed while allowing the Ninth Circuit to force novel legal theories on a federal right to abortion in red states. Next, we’re joined by my colleague Steve Deace for an in-depth discussion of what we should and shouldn’t do following the Biden meltdown. Steve rebukes those on the Right who believe we can just sit back reactively and allow Democrats to reclaim control over the environment by swapping out Biden. We need to force a vote on Biden’s competence via Chip Roy’s resolution today so that we now control the narrative they are using. We need to beat them to the punch. He also believes that Trump would be well served to engage in presidential-style events to acculturate the public to the idea that he is inevitable and will be commander in chief.

We all grew up with Rush pining for the day we’d have a strong, bold leader who implements our agenda and moves the people and culture over to the right while doing it. Well, this is exactly what DeSantis has done in Florida, which is probably why Rush poignantly mentioned DeSantis on his final broadcast as “the closest thing” to a Limbaugh graduate. I go through the economic news of Florida to show how this is the best example in our lifetime of a paradigm for a strong, sovereign, and prosperous red state that could potentially go toe-to-toe with the federal government. Next, I show how the GOP agrees with the anarcho-tyranny of the Left by continuing to push weak-on-crime bills. DeSantis just vetoed a particularly bad bill passed by his legislature. At the same time, Biden is allowing in radical Islamists from countries that actually repress Sharia law. We need to make red states autonomous. Otherwise, every state will look like Europe and America’s big cities, with roving bands of Islamists attacking Jewish neighborhoods. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
