In this powerful and personal episode of The Joy of Living, host Barry Shore welcomes author and political commentator Evan Sayet for a heartfelt tribute to the late David Horowitz — a man whose extraordinary transformation from radical Marxist to conservative icon left a lasting imprint on American culture and politics. Together, Barry and Evan reflect on Horowitz’s early life in a communist household, his involvement in the radical left during the 1960s, and the profound ideological awakening that led him to become one of conservatism’s fiercest and most influential defenders. From founding the Freedom Center to writing over 30 groundbreaking books, Horowitz dedicated the second half of his life to exposing the threats to Western civilization—and inspiring a generation of thinkers, writers, and warriors. You’ll hear personal stories, sharp insights, and even some laughter as Barry and Evan explore Horowitz’s role in shaping the conservative movement, the importance of being a “happy warrior,” and why his work remains more relevant than ever in 2025 and beyond.
