Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz

Are you being tracked every time you drive or even walk in your neighborhood? Camden County Presiding Commissioner Ike Skelton reveals the dystopian reality of Flock cameras, the AI surveillance state, and why Big Tech is invading rural America with subsidized data centers. Skelton shares his shocking story of facing felony charges simply for taking down a privately owned Flock camera that violated county ordinances. He explains how government grants and public-private partnerships are bypassing the Fourth Amendment to create "vehicle fingerprints" and auditory surveillance networks. We also expose the hidden agenda behind the massive push for AI data centers, wind, and solar farms in deep-red flyover country. Discover how local officials can use zoning laws and constitutional sanctuary ordinances to fight back against federal overreach and protect private property. Learn more about your ad choices.

What happens when Big Tech joins with utilities companies — the ultimate monopoly — to negotiate secret power deals? The American consumer loses. I sit down sits with former Wisconsin Public Service Commissioner Dan Eastman to expose how Big Tech companies and utility monopolies are pushing unprecedented electricity demands onto America's aging power grid. Eastman explains why utilities are incentivized to overbuild power infrastructure, how taxpayers could be left holding the bag for billions in stranded assets, and why sudden data center disconnections could create dangerous grid reliability problems. We also discuss secret NDAs, local government approvals, transmission line expansions, land-grabs in rural America, and the growing alliance between Silicon Valley and regulated utility monopolies. None of this is free-market. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The AI industry promised a technological revolution. Instead, some of the biggest players are burning billions of dollars while demanding more data centers, more energy, more subsidies, and more government support. Meanwhile, their models — and the business model undergirding it — are rapidly failing. I’m joined by AI pioneer Gary Marcus to expose the growing cracks in the generative AI business model. OpenAI is reportedly losing tens of billions, while major tech companies slash token usage, cut spending, and confront the reality that the economics simply don't add up. Real AI innovation is moving away from the data center and LLM model at a time when companies are tripling down on debt-driven spending to prop it up. The future of AI will not look like ChatGPT. It is those tech bros, and the politicians who support them, who are holding up true technological innovation. Separately, but relatedly, I break down the latest political capitulations on the Iran deal, immigration, and how the "America First" agenda is being sold out to corporate interests.

Whether it’s marijuana, high-potency THC products sold as candy, psychedelics, or vaping, the next generation of leaders are having their brains rotted out by the THC Inc. cartel that is purposely creating harmful addiction for profit. I’m joined by drug policy expert Kevin Sabet, founder of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, to expose the growing influence of the THC and marijuana industry on American politics, culture, and public health. Kevin makes the case that Big Tobacco has now bought out a lot of the largest THC companies and is using the same gaslighting tactic to promote fake medical benefits in order to promote addiction. We also discuss how medical marijuana and veterans have been used as a Trojan horse to promote a non-medical agenda and how Trump got bought out by the industry he used to hate and is, in turn, suppressing organized opposition to this agenda on the political Right.

Is the DOJ still operating under the same “anarcho-tyranny” framework conservatives condemned during the Biden years? Today, I’m joined by top January 6 defense attorney Jonathan Gross to discuss the severe double standard within the U.S. justice system that is continuing under the Trump administration. We analyze how the DOJ, even under the Trump administration and figures like Todd Blanche, continues to weaponize the legal system against January 6 defendants, medical freedom doctors, and rural citizens opposing massive AI data centers. Meanwhile, violent attacks against federal ICE facilities in Newark and Los Angeles go largely unpunished. Gross also reveals behind-the-scenes details from defending January 6 defendants and working inside the DOJ Civil Rights Division. Separately, I offer my controversial thesis on how obsessing over gun rights without fighting effectively for other rights is neutralizing the purpose of the Second Amendment.

Did Donald Trump's endorsement of Ken Paxton in Texas mask a decade of political subversion? I explain the hard truth about Trump’s primary record, revealing why the "America First" agenda is being consistently sold out to establishment RINOs. The Paxton win shows that we didn’t have to accept Trump’s RINO endorsements, yet in most other states, he is still working against us. While conservatives celebrate rare victories, we are losing the broader war in state legislatures and the Senate. From the defeat of Chip Roy's allies to the influx of AI and data center PAC money propping up the GOP establishment in Iowa, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and South Carolina, we expose the cognitive dissonance paralyzing the conservative movement. It's time to look past the rhetoric and look at the actual scorecard. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

America is being sold a massive lie and false choice about AI and data centers. I sit down with computer scientist and AI expert Jim Calhoun to expose why the push for hyperscale AI data centers may have little to do with innovation — and everything to do with centralized control, land-grabs, surveillance infrastructure, and corporate power. While politicians and Big Tech claim America must build massive AI data centers to compete with China, Calhoun explains why China and most other countries are actually moving toward localized edge computing, sovereign AI, distributed architectures, and efficient open-source systems instead of centralized cloud dependency. Calhoun explains how open-weight models and sovereign AI can accomplish more while also helping protect your privacy, keep your data local, and prevent corporate and government overreach.

Rural America is under assault, and very few red-state gubernatorial candidates are running on emphatically fighting this war. I’m joined by Iowa regenerative farmer Zach Lahn, who is running for Iowa governor. Lahn lays out his vision for Iowa: a moratorium on new data centers, banning foreign ownership of farmland, stopping corporate monopolies hurting farmers, ending vaccine mandates, defending constitutional rights from the weaponized surveillance state, restoring healthy food systems, and protecting rural communities from the multifront assault on America’s heritage and way of life. Lahn argues that Iowa should prioritize its farmers, families, land, and local communities instead of subsidizing multinational corporations and AI infrastructure projects.
