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

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.

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...

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...

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 i...

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 on...

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 ra...

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 th...

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 legislat...

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 Flo...

We begin today’s discussion with a post-mortem 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, Bret 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...
