We have good news and bad news to share. In good news, RFK Jr.’s change to the vaccination schedule is the most transformational medical change we have seen in recent years. We’re joined by civil rights attorney Aaron Siri, author of “Vaccines, Amen,” for an in-depth analysis of which vaccines were taken off the guidelines and which ones remain. He explains how this policy breaks the dam of medical tyranny. Aaron advises that the next step should be removal guidance for all vaccines that fail to stop transmission while we continue to fight in the states to end all forms of mandates. In bad news, I begin the show with news about housing, welfare, and foreign policy, where Trump continues to treat symptoms executively while exacerbating the causes of those problems when it matters. Meanwhile, no substantial legislative changes are taking place.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin by addressing Trump’s order to ban corporate purchase of residential homes. While I agree with reversing this odious trend, we must not forget that it is a mere symptom of the broader problem of high prices created by government debt, Federal Reserve policies, and HUD policies. Trump is treating the symptom while supporting all the governmental policies that caused high prices. Next, we’re joined by Tim Estes, an AI entrepreneur, who passionately makes the case that our government is working with the wrong companies and the wrong strategy on perfecting AI. The AI path we are on is supplanting human dignity, unnaturally drawing investment away from more promising aspects of the technology, and will actually result in losing to China. Estes has an app he is developing to help parents harness technology to make the internet experience human-led and to combat all of the mental, cognitive, and social ills this technology has wrought in recent years.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Where is the sense of urgency to solve the issues that matter now, not after the midterm elections? We delve into Trump’s asymmetric focus on foreign policy relative to the core bread-and-butter issues crushing the people, like health care. I warn about how Republicans are about to cut a bad deal on health care. Plus, Trump is moving to the left on federal abortion funding. He also agreed to surrender U.S. corporate tax sovereignty to the globalists. Next, we’re joined by Shannon Everett of American Truckers United, who blew the lid off the silent crisis of illegal alien and foreign drivers destroying the trucking industry. We discuss how illegal aliens now compose a massive percentage of truck drivers and an even greater percentage of trucking accidents and criminal activity. Despite some federal action, the government is still failing to end this problem. We discuss numerous action items at the state and federal levels that must be addressed quickly.

We begin today with a discussion about how there is more than meets the eye in Venezuela, and it can’t be just about drugs and oil. Either way, Trump must do a better job focusing on systemic economic reforms. We must also promote more candidates who will follow the Florida model in red states. We’re joined by Kevin Freeman, the leader of the transactional gold movement, for an update on how transactional gold and silver accounts are needed to restore true economic justice. We tackle the issue from all angles, and he shows how the movement away from gold has led to so many ills: communism, globalism, Islamism, and social rot. Kevin debunks the globalist premise that deflation is a bad thing; in fact, deflation should be inevitable in a functioning economy. Finally Kevin teases the coming of more innovative ideas to restore economic justice in a free-market structure so that young voters don’t turn to dark forces in their despair.

Welcome back to 2026 — the year of the 250th anniversary. Today, I discuss the need to "meet the moment." That means that rather than focusing on the 2026 and 2028 general elections, Trump must utilize the power he currently has to deal with the challenges of our time on economy, security, and culture. He must open an economic future, stem the demographic tide, push long-term reforms that will be harder to undo, and then build red-state fortresses. I list a dozen action items for him to do as an outline of what we will be covering this year. Plus, I offer baseline thoughts on some of the news of the day, such as the capture of Maduro and the Somali welfare scam in Minnesota. Finally, I announce an exciting new way to correspond with the show: @danielhorowitz on Substack. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin today’s season finale by discussing what went wrong at TPUSA’s gathering. Rather than focusing on the dozen existential threats we face and how the current GOP needs to be fixed, it devolved into a personality debate with people like Tucker Carlson simping for Islamists. We can’t succeed in a movement that has no coherent views and disagrees dramatically on key issues. This is also why it’s irresponsible to proclaim Vice President JD Vance as leader three years in advance, or to even focus on the presidential election before solving the fundamental problems with the GOP. Next, we’re joined by Sheikh Khalid Al-Hail, leader of the Qatar National Democratic Party, who has a stark and solemn warning for the American people. He explains how Qatar sits at the nexus of nearly all global terror finance, as well as Islamic radicalization in America. He explains how the Al Thani regime’s main goal is to purchase influence within every sphere of power in America, ironically to protect itself against moderate Muslim factions. In that sense, our own government is actually solely responsible for propping up the very entity spreading jihad throughout the world. And as Al-Hail explains, jihad is not just about the sword but about subversive propaganda that even non-Muslims like Tucker are propagating.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we engage in a broad and deep retrospective of the year in politics. I go through about a dozen political themes and trends that emerged from this year and will reverberate even more headed into 2026. The upshot is that we’re suffering all of the liabilities of Republicans being in charge but none of the benefits — at least not ones that will endure in the long run. I also review Trump’s speech last night and explain how it is gaslighting us on prosperity and security at home and peace abroad, when none of those things are true. The voters know it.  At the end, I explain how the AI data center grift is completely insolvent, only existent because of government, and how it is crowding out more effective resources. Finally if we don’t change course, our future is Australia.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We’ve never faced such a ubiquitous threat from Islamic terrorists, yet our government is still slow to recognize the source of the problem. I begin today by rounding up the latest news on recent terrorist attacks and analyzing the new Trump immigration moratorium as a mixed bag. Also, I’m increasingly concerned about the lack of strategy in Venezuela and Qatari involvement. We’re joined by former FBI whistleblower Steve Friend, who has a gut-wrenching message for us: The Trump/Patel FBI is not different from the Biden FBI. He describes how the bureau re-hired him only to humiliate him and then fire him again after leaking the news to the media. The FBI is continuing its same failed modus operandi of focusing on overly broad missions, prioritizing intelligence over police work, measuring success by arbitrary measures, and fostering the same climate of anarcho-tyranny we saw under Biden. Leaders are leaving in place the entire weaponized structure for the next Democrat president to turn loose on all of us, even as they continue to be grossly incompetent in contending with real security threats.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Qatar controls foreign policy, while Big Tech controls domestic policy. I begin with a roundup of the latest news on the terrorism front, a breakdown of the terrible stagflation numbers, and Ron DeSantis leading the fight against the AI slop agenda. Next, we’re joined by Miriam Eckenfels, who covers wireless technology issues for Children’s Health Defense, for a discussion about the FCC rule attempting to block states from regulating any placement of 5G and wireless infrastructure from the telecoms industry. Just as with data centers, the Trump administration is trying to build the infrastructure for both the surveillance state and the techno-feudalism that make us at one with harmful technology. Eckenfels demonstrates how this technology is not necessary for connectivity and rapid internet usage. At the same time, the high-frequency radio waves are so much more harmful, and the more they push everything toward 5G, the more the densification of the infrastructure will harm the quality of life of our neighborhoods as well as out health.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The juxtaposition of the administration's handling of the Syrian massacre of our troops with immigration from Syria in light of the Sydney terror attack is appalling. Today, I go through the details and policy outcomes that should flow from the deaths of Iowa Guardsmen at the hands of Jolani-allied thugs to show how our Syria policy is completely backward. Rather than pulling our troops out, banning Syrian immigration, and allowing Israel to take care of business, we are doubling down on serving as Qatar’s lapdog, continuing immigration from Syria and most Islamic countries, and hamstringing Israel from its much more effective effort on combatting terrorism emanating from Syria. At the end, I touch on Trump’s losing economic message promoting inflation and data centers and how the data-center agenda is actually harming the electronics market and crowding out more necessary and efficient technology investments.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin with a "free-for-all Friday" roundup of my notes for the week on AI news, Trump’s new love for marijuana, the latest on immigration and the courts, and the Indiana legislature’s rejection of redistricting. Once again, this is a Flight 93 presidency. Next we’re joined by Nic Hulscher, epidemiologist at the McCullough Foundation, for a riveting discussion of his analysis of the now-exposed Ford health study showing an overall 2.5-fold increase in the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition in vaccinated children relative to the unvaccinated. Hulscher explains why this study is comprehensive and powerful and how a proper analysis of it shows a 549% higher rate of autism-associated neurodevelopmental conditions and a 54% elevation in childhood cancer in the vaccinated cohort. He also shares some new research on the COVID vaccines that prove cancerous fragments of the plasmids can stay in the body for years.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As Republicans continue to get crushed in the polls, they are doubling down on denying inflation and denying the cost of data centers. I discuss how we continue to lose on account of policies and people who are actually antithetical to our values. Next, we’re joined by Reg Hislop, an economist and health care expert, to provide a plan and a vision on the most important economic and fiscal issue. He explains how Republicans continue to push a lukewarm hell plan by accepting the premise of Obamacare while assuming responsibility for it. We develop our ideal health care plan that would cut out the administrative bureaucracy, monopolies, and market distortions. Reg also weighs in on the Fed’s decision to cut interest rates and print more money to purchase Treasurys. He believes this will continue artificially directing money into ineffective AI projects that will create more inflation than productivity.    Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s time for us to jump from the hijacked plane of the Republican Party and parachute into a new party. Today, I ruminate over the infamous “Flight 93” essay of 2016 to show how that election was actually not the inflection moment. This one is. If conservatives do not evacuate from this terrible party, they will lose red states, communists will take over, and we won’t even have a chance to rebuild until at least 2029, after it’s too late. I also discuss how Republicans are suffering worse electoral reprisal from pushing Big Tech economic policy than they would have incurred by fulfilling the original promise to cut the debt and entitlements and rebalance the economy away from the Mag 7 companies to small business.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Generative AI and its accompanying data-center slop agenda are being completely fueled by the Trump administration. This is Warped Speed 2.0, where government shields a failed and dangerous endeavor from all market accountability. We’re joined today by cognitive scientist Gary Marcus, who is one of the foremost AI experts and an early critic of the “scaling” generative AI model. In a wide-ranging discussion, he explains how the hallucination problem endemic to this model was so easy to predict and why the tech companies are now choking on their own sophistry. We also delve into the unsustainable economic model and how the "but China" argument is a straw man. Not only is this model failing to enhance the human experience, but Marcus believes its modus operandi of disseminating “authoritative BS” is destroying the internet and rotting the brains of youngsters.  Learn more about your ad choices.

If conservatives remain trapped in the Trump-Vance GOP, they will continue to suffer all the liabilities of Big Tech venture socialism with all the political liabilities that will turn more voters into Democrats. We need a new party built upon natural living and natural markets to move away from the fake, asset-bubble economy championed by both parties, including Trump. Today, I vividly diagnose exactly how the government uses federal pensions, artificially low interest rates, public and private debt, and numerous regulatory policies to destroy the middle class and small business. The economy is analogous to an AI hallucination bubble that is like a self-licking ice-cream cone and continues to create monopolies. A new party, untethered from the GOP’s past, could crush the Democrats using this message and vision.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin by reiterating the shortcomings of Trump’s immigration ban. I also tease out my concerns about the administration’s obsession with Venezuela and why it might be linked back to Qatar. And speaking of Qatar, we’re joined by Krista Schild, Texas director of the RAIR Foundation, for a riveting and frightening presentation on how deeply the Muslim Brotherhood has penetrated Texas (and other red states). From autonomous Sharia compounds and land-grabs to taxpayer-funded radical schools, criminal activity, law, and even GOP politics, Islam has infinitely more influence in red states than you realize. While President Trump and Governor Abbott (R) have issued terror designations against the Muslim Brotherhood, Krista warns that absent enforcement that leads to shutting down CAIR and banning terror finance of Islamic infrastructure, it’s tantamount to nothing more than a press release.  Learn more about your ad choices.

So many of the right-leaning TikTokkers who foisted Trump upon us under the promise of standing for the common man are now realizing that he is doing the exact opposite. But they are forgetting that it didn’t have to be this way, even as they prepare to make the same mistake by canceling the next primary. I go back to the 2022 midterms to show how that election and its aftermath was the ultimate inflection point. We could have rebuilt the party with new faces and new policies, but Trump came back, saddled us with Kevin McCarthy, Mike Johnson, and everyone else, and now his supporters blame all those names for our woes while forgetting the top of the food chain. Next, I discuss Florida’s AI bill of rights and how it contrasts with the cronyism in the White House led by David Sacks. Imagine if we had a party with a leader who actually spoke for the people on issues related to electricity prices, land use, and parental control over chatbots rather than pimping Big Tech. After all, isn’t that what we were promised all along? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Don’t let anyone sugarcoat the GOP underperformance in the Tennessee special election. I offer deep and broad analysis of how last night’s results fit into a clear pattern of the GOP bleeding suburban voters in a way that will result in an electoral slaughter next year. However, there is a silver lining of a red firewall to avoid a complete wipeout, but that will require Trump to change his economic message. One thing he must do is put forward a plan to reverse the hemorrhaging of American jobs. We’re joined today by Amanda Goodall, a labor market expert, who offers an in-depth analysis of why this has been the worst job market for college graduates and how she fears this is a permanent dynamic. Unlike during the Great Recession, there are so many roles being abolished. She explains how the collapse of small businesses and the rise of major corporate monopolies have allowed companies to succeed without critical talent. She believes this is much deeper than simply AI eliminating jobs. We also discuss the continued trend of outsourcing and how Trump’s decision not to cancel the H-1B program is indefensible.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin with a sober analysis of where Republican electoral prospects stand one year past the presidential election. Republicans are facing a nightmare much worse than Democrats ever faced when they were in power because we are suffering the worst of all worlds with the affordability crisis and Trump fatigue. Next, we’re joined by macro economist and portfolio manager Craig Shapiro for a deep dive into the predominant factors causing the generational cost-of-living crisis. Shapiro believes that the only way to bring pricing down is to actually allow for the economy to slow organically and reset. The problem is that our government continues to pump up assets and push more debt, more special treatment that spawns more private debt to keep consumers on the hook for higher pricing. Meanwhile, the government is also putting all of its eggs into this AI data-center moon shot. Not only is this a risky policy, but it will basically drive people into electing more socialists like Mamdani. If we don’t present a more authentic version of capitalism, voters will turn to dark forces in their intensifying desperation.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In light of the terror attack against our National Guardsmen allegedly at the hands of a “vetted” Afghan refugee, I lay down a marker for Trump to finally fulfill his promise of a moratorium. Although he once against promised to shut off third-world migration, I go through the numbers from his 19-country list to show how he is omitting some of the countries from which we admit the most Sharia-adherent Muslims. It’s not about vetting, diplomatic relations with the sending countries, or reliable databases. I prove how you can’t vet Islamic migrants when the Sharia mindset and adherence are the bigger problem. We also go back to the 2019 attack on the Pensacola naval base to show how Trump must also fulfill his promise of arming our soldiers domestically. It appears that the Guardsmen were not carrying loaded magazines.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
