About this ebook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 election was more than a historic upset. It was the beginning of a major political, economic, and social revolution that will change America and the world.
One of the nation’s foremost conservative commentators, New York Times bestselling author, and a mentor to many of Donald Trump’s key advisers, David Horowitz presents a White House battle plan to halt the Democrats’ march to extinguish the values America holds dear.
Big Agenda details President Trump’s likely moves, including his:
First wave of executive orders restoring Guantanamo, Keystone XL, nixing amnesty
Surprising judicial appointments Supreme Court and the federal judiciary
Radical changes to federal rules & regulations Obamacare, EPA overreach, and a New Deal for black America
With the White House and Senate in GOP hands, and a Supreme Court soon to follow, President Trump will have a greater opportunity than even Ronald Reagan had to reshape the American political landscape while securing the nation’s vital security interests abroad.
No president since FDR and his famed 100 Days’ has the chance Donald Trump has,” Horowitz argues.
But he writes that the GOP and Trump must recognize they are not fighting policy ideas, but an ideology a progressive one with a radical agenda to stop Trump in an effort to reduce America’s power and greatness.
Big Agenda is a rallying cry and indispensable guide for how to claim ultimate victory for the conservative cause.
Horowitz writes, One battle is over, but there are many more to come. This book is a guide to fighting the opponents of the conservative restoration. It identifies who the adversaries are their methods and their motivations.
It describes their agenda not merely the particular issues with which they advance their goal, but the destructive goal itself. And it lays out a strategy that can defeat them.”

Reviews for Big Agenda
9 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a quick read. Horowitz paints a devastating, but accurate picture of the progressive agenda and the ultimate goal of the Democrats who are now led by extreme leftists who disavow capitalism, like Obama, Sanders, Warren and Clinton, by race baiters like Waters and Cummings, and I believe by corrupt talking heads like Maddow, Sharpton, and Brzezinski. He details the destructive results of their policies and condemns the tools that they use to acquire their power, in any way they can. He presents not only the agenda he has designed for the Republicans during the Trump Administration, to take back America and return it to its rightful place of respect in the world, but he lays out the corrupt agenda of the liberals, including their corrupt behavior. He clearly defines the criminality of Hillary Clinton, so long ignored by the Justice Department and what has become a corrupt media that is inspired by their own opinions rather than by what is news and, obviously, the truth. He alludes to the existence of collusion between the Executive branch of Obama, and the Departments of Justice and the IRS. Horowitz has very accurately identified all of the current problems facing the newly elected President who has been called many heinous names, even as he is accused of being the name caller.He places a great deal of blame for the Democrats’ move to the extreme left on the policies and philosophy of Saul Alinsky, a community organizer like Barack Obama, who wrote a book called “Rules for Radicals”, and George Soros, a wealthy civil activist who has sought, for years, to influence American politics to move to the extreme left using non-profit organizations like his moveon.org. Former President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton view those men as their mentors. Alinsky’s polices encourage the demonizing of anyone that disagrees with their agenda, and it seems to be working for the progressives as evidenced by their angry protests and rallies against the President and his followers. He accurately identifies the problems of the Republican Party and their lack of a common purpose, a common stand on issues which is the lifeline and lifeblood of the Democrats. They are unified, right or wrong because they believe that the ends justify any means, while the Republicans do not. They will follow their platform like lemmings and not break ranks. Hillary Clinton said that when “they go low, we go high”, but that is an oxymoron in her playbook and in the policies of her followers who march in lockstep with her. Even when the GOP controls all of the branches of government they cannot seem to come together, as the donkeys can, and remain loyal to their party, they cannot, even though they know that the Progressives want to place the power in their own hands so they can rule and will do anything they can to disrupt the current government and are able to disrupt it in their weakness because they remain united as the Republicans divide into disparate groups fighting each other instead of promoting the policies they ran on and promoting the ultimate goal of greater justice and freedom for all Americans as they make America great again. They are, once again, snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory and helping the Progressives accomplish their goal of regaining power and continuing to bring America to its knees, in the eyes of the rest of the world. Is there any way to defeat the far left that lies while they are actually lying themselves, cheats while they cheat openly, name call while accusing others of name calling, calling others sexist while covering up sexual deviants within their own ranks, screaming racism as they only give lip service to the needs of those less fortunate, as they feather their own nests, as they deny the history of their own party which was and still is, steeped in racism and sexism? Horowitz suggests that the “deplorable right” examine and concentrate on, the big picture and go fearlessly into the fray to combat the goals of the hypocritical left, but he has not presented any viable way for them to do it. History has proven that they will seek their own level, and that level has not been a very high bar in the past. They are too conciliatory and afraid of ramifications, afraid of losing their jobs, and so they fail in the performance of their duties. Let’s hope that they will suddenly decide not to go “gently into that good night”, to coin a phrase, for it will surely be the death knell of the party.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This books title is spot on.....the Big Agenda of this book was to further his agenda. He contradicts himself over and over...he has no facts to substantiate his claims. .....Subtitle witch hunt.
It's rather comical to be reading this now, as things unfold...
Don't waste your time on this...find a more honest, open minded and non partisan author. This is sub par writing.1 person found this helpful

Introduction
RESTORING THE NATION TO GREATNESS
DONALD TRUMP’S VICTORY IN the 2016 election was a political earthquake. It put an end to eight years of a left-wing presidency that divided the American people, eroded American sovereignty, diminished American power, and undermined a constitutional foundation that had made America prosperous and great.
Before the election, conservatives were justifiably worried that America’s decline was reaching a point of no return. When the results came in, they breathed a sigh of relief. A long and arduous battle had been successfully concluded. With conservatives in control of the three branches of government, the groundwork was laid to restore the country to prosperity and health. Americans could roll up their sleeves and begin the hard work of restoring the nation to greatness again.
There was truth in this feeling, but it was only a partial truth. To begin with, the election was narrowly won. Half the country had voted for a candidate who vowed to continue the Obama administration policies that had brought the nation to the brink. Half the country had voted for a candidate in favor of open borders, a candidate who willingly prosecuted the gender and racial wars of the political left. Half the country had voted for a candidate who viewed the Constitution as a changeable document, a candidate ready to appoint Supreme Court justices who believed its decisions should be based not on the law but on whether they achieved a progressive result.
When the votes were in, the anguished voices of the left provided a foretaste of the future in store for Republicans and their president over the next four years. Mourning in America
was the way the Huffington Post announced Trump’s victory on the day after the election.¹ President Trump: A Colossal Failure for Democracy, and Our Terrifying New Reality,
responded Salon.com, a website owned by the Washington Post.² Stoking the fires of racial conflict, CNN’s Van Jones called the election a white-lash against a black president.
³ Echoing the incitement, Slate.com, owned by Microsoft, declared: White Won.
This was Slate’s headline for a story by Jamelle Bouie, which read: Trump promised a resurgent white supremacy. And white voters embraced it. We are still the country that produced George Wallace. We are still the country that killed Emmet Till.
⁴ As if ginning up a race war wasn’t sufficient, Slate also ran an article with the headline I Am a Gay Jew in Trump’s America. And I Am Afraid for My Life.
⁵
These emotional provocations reflect the passions of a left that would not be stilled by the election result or conciliatory gestures the new president had already made. Instead, they will be inflamed by every step Trump takes along the path to reviving a battered country and restoring its constitutional order. These are the angry voices of a political culture that is at war with America. Worse yet, this is the dominant culture in our universities, in our media, in our judiciary, in government unions, and in the shadow political universe of nonprofits, with billions of tax-free dollars at their disposal.
The late Andrew Breitbart wisely observed that politics is downstream from culture.
The culture wars conservatives have lost over the last half-century have transformed the Democratic Party into a party of the left and have led to the eight-year tenure of a radical president. These are the wars that must still be fought and won if the election victory is to remain secure; these are the wars that must be fought and won to keep the country back from the brink.
One battle is over, but there are many more to come. This book is a guide to fighting the opponents of the conservative restoration. It identifies who the adversaries are—their methods and their motivations. It describes their agenda—not merely the particular issues with which they advance their goal, but the destructive goal itself. And it lays out a strategy that can defeat them.
PART I
THE ADVERSARY
1
New Wars to Fight
AS WE ENTER THE Trump era, our country faces daunting threats to its security, prosperity, and freedom. For eight years, we have been led by a commander-in-chief dedicated to appeasing our enemies and degrading our military, reducing its forces to their lowest level since World War II. Weakness and uncertain resolve by America’s commander-in-chief have led to an expanding terrorist threat abroad and increasing terrorist attacks at home. At home, overtaxation, overregulation, and massive government debt have led to the most anemic economic recovery on record. Ninety-four million Americans have left the work force, and 47 million are on food stamps. Thirty years of Democratic Party attacks on our sovereignty have created porous national borders and an influx of hundreds of thousands of criminals and an unknown number of terrorists. Hundreds of Democrat-sponsored Sanctuary Cities
—including such major urban centers as Los Angeles and New York—have set precedents of sedition by defying federal law to provide safe havens for criminals and terrorists who have crossed our borders illegally. Once-eradicated epidemic diseases like tuberculosis have returned with the influx of refugees from Somalia and other war-torn Third World countries, while our left-wing government has been busy importing tens of thousands of unvetted refugees from Middle-Eastern centers of the Islamic holy war against us.
At home, another war with racial overtones is being waged by the left and directed at law enforcement in cities across America, leading to a dramatic spike in homicides and other violent crimes. Aggressive assaults by progressives on the First and Second Amendments—the cornerstones of America’s freedoms—have divided America’s communities and set precedents for drastic curtailments of other American freedoms. Today, America is more divided and its major parties more polarized than at any time since the Civil War. The conclusion of the nastiest, most divisive election campaign within living memory augurs little hope that these conflicts will not occupy center stage in the political dramas of the next four years.

Divisions on the Right
DIVISIONS HAVE OPENED UP within the parties as well. But it is the division within the Republican Party that should be the first concern of Americans disturbed by the radicalism of the Obama years. Although Republicans finally came home
to provide Trump with his margin of victory, a cohort of Never Trumpers
did not. In 2012, the party’s nominee, Mitt Romney, had avidly sought Trump’s endorsement, saying, Donald Trump has shown an extraordinary ability to understand how our economy works to create jobs for the American people. He’s done it here in Nevada. He’s done it across the country. . . . I spent my life in the private sector. Not quite as successful as this guy.
¹ But in 2016, when his country’s future was on the line, Romney led renegade Republicans in sabotaging the party’s nominee: Here’s what I know: Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud.
² Romney’s eruption, like many similar attacks from Never Trumpers,
was hard to explain. Romney certainly had never said anything as harsh about Obama during the 2012 campaign. Predictably, Democrats featured his outburst, along with those of several other disgruntled Republicans, in attack ads against a candidate who had won more primary votes than any Republican in history.
Former presidents George Herbert Walker Bush and George W. Bush sat on their hands throughout the campaign while making their displeasure with the candidate clear. A month before the November election, defeated primary candidate Jeb Bush pronounced Trump beyond the pale over an 11-year-old video that had been released by the pro-Clinton Washington Post in an effort to derail the Republican’s campaign. The video showed the candidate talking boorishly in a private conversation with Jeb’s cousin Billy.³ Trump apologized for his remarks, but Bush refused to accept his apology. As the grandfather of two precious girls,
he tweeted, I find that no apology can excuse away Donald Trump’s reprehensible comments degrading women.
⁴ This denial of forgiveness to Trump seemed somewhat inexplicable given the Bush family’s well-known embrace of Bill Clinton, whose sexual abuses, unlike Trump’s, were actions rather than boasts in private and were committed by a sitting governor and president and then exposed in front of a whole nation of precious girls.⁵
Claiming to be outraged by the video, as well as by other casual Trump remarks, some former members of the George W. Bush White House went so far as to announce that they were voting for the Democrat, Hillary Clinton. A former policy director for the House Republican conference, Evan McMullin, even launched a presidential run in Utah in the hopes of blocking a Trump majority in the Electoral College. All these defections raise troubling questions: What was it that these Republicans didn’t understand about the Democrats and their responsibility for the present perils of the nation? What did they not understand about the destructive agendas of the left that threatened its future?
Were these Never Trumpers
intimidated by the massive barrage of
