Election 2025: Democrats Have Activists; Republicans Have Pundits | 11/5/25

We begin by discussing the renewed effort in Congress to ban states from implementing any regulations of AI or data centers. Also Trump is working with Saudi Arabia to own our AI infrastructure. It is shocking to watch the priorities of Republicans at a time when we could be expending our capital on things we actually believe in. Next we’re joined by Tim Estes, 25-year AI founder and CEO, who is working to steer AI toward enhancing the human experience rather than supplanting it. He warns that the current tech companies working on data center buildout are mimicking the worst elements of the China-centralized surveillance state without copying their aversion to addicting a generation of children to what he calls “digital narcotics.” In a riveting interview, Estes lays out two paths for AI that will determine whether we fix the internet that broke a generation of children or whether we engage in digital child sacrifice.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Even though real conservatism is being misrepresented in right-leaning media, we are all going to get blamed for the impending economic collapse. However, it’s not as if Trump is even fighting for our causes. He has made it clear that his priorities are AI, crypto, tokenization, and family business interests. This has bled over into foreign policy, where we are now serving as Qatar’s female dog, with the latest example being Trump cozying up to Syria. We also delve into the failures on immigration policy to make a dent in Biden’s invasion population. Finally, the AI agenda is even creepier than you thought. If we don’t place regulatory guardrails on these tech oligarchs, they will surveil every aspect of our lives while placing mental rotgut into every aspect of kids' lives, including their teddy bears.     Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin with an overview of how the president’s original message on behalf of the "forgotten American" has been turned on its head in Orwellian fashion. Now we are facing an electoral wipeout, but not on account of fulfilling the original promise. It is instead because of unpopular policies that are antithetical to it and in concert with the Big Tech oligarchs. We’re joined by Kiley Blalock, a crop farmer in Henry County, Indiana, who is fighting a data center project planned on an adjacent property. She gives us a glimpse into the secrecy, bullying, and buyouts being employed by anonymous fronts for the Mag 7 companies as they seek special favors to transform farming communities into dystopian landscapes for AI slop. They are engaging in a psychological war of divide and conquer to sow discord in close-knit communities. The tech giants are also employing a rural version of block-busting to slash and burn the utility of these communities as part of a self-fulfilling policy so that they become fit only for their parochial interests and not for farming or rural living.

We begin by noting that the same way Obamacare stifled choice and competition in health care, Trump’s ridiculous endorsements are stifling our ability to get better candidates and run competitive primaries. Next, we’re joined by cattle rancher Breeauna Sagdal of the Beef Initiative to discuss a Manhattan Project plan to reinvest in America’s independent ranchers and farmers. We don’t need subsidies and handouts. She highlights all of the ways government policies are locking up grazing lands and hay stockpiles, which drives up the cost of ranching. She also warns that property taxes and inheritance taxes are shoveling farms out the door to corporations that are tied to foreign interests. Meanwhile, our government continues to push the tokenization of natural assets, which ties into EID and the AI agenda. We are either with food and humans or tokenization and the fake world of transhumanism. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After 10 years of MAGA, where is our red-state bench? The online Right is slowly realizing that the emperor is wearing no clothes. We’re stuck with all of the liberal policies and unpopular antics of Trump but few of the benefits. Now we’re saddled with a terrible economy with no vision because we’ve spent 10 years destroying a bench of high-level conservatives in red states. Now red states are going purple. We’re joined today by Utah state Rep. Trevor Lee (R) to discuss how a generation of liberal Republicans gave rise to liberal judges who have now handed Democrats a free congressional seat in Utah. We discuss the mechanics of how Utah RINOs give Democrats a foothold in the state through lousy electoral policies and then the Left, in turn, uses the ballot initiative process and the courts to change the state. This is a growing problem in many red states that if left unchecked will result in many of them becoming the next Colorado.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Headed into Veterans Day, not only did President Trump wine and dine the Syrian al-Qaeda leader, but he has announced the forging of a relationship that includes establishing a U.S. base in Damascus. I warn about the dangers of this realignment and how it is all coming from Qatar. Trump revealed so much folly during his interview with Laura Ingraham that is encapsulated by his candid remark in support of Chinese foreign students as, “I view it as a business.” Sadly, that explains his support for Qatar, data centers, crypto grift, and focus on the stock market more than Main Street and small business. At the end, I share some news on the AI data-center front to demonstrate how it is the most dangerous and riskiest grift of all time.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We begin by showing how Democrats will win in the long run on the government shutdown, even though it looks like they are capitulating this week.  Plus, the Supreme Court’s refusal to overturn Obergefell shows that even the GOP appointees are hopelessly political. Next, we’re joined by mortgage finance expert Melody Wright, who explains why Trump’s plan to create a 50-year mortgage not only is debt slavery but will continue to fuel the housing crisis. In fact, Wright explains how the entire history of the 30-year mortgage was a folly. We actually need to return to the exact opposite dynamic: shorter mortgages, less debt, and less government involvement, which will allow home ownership to become affordable for the median income with shorter-term debt. She also warns that the AI data-center bubble is not only unsustainable but a ruse to prop up the economy.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I fear that the entire political Right is going to waste its focus on redistricting and ending the filibuster in the hopes of changing the trajectory.  While I don’t oppose either proposition, neither of them will actually change the outcome of the election, because we have slept through primaries for years. We simply don’t have enough conservatives to win a national election or accomplish good things even if Republicans gain a tenuous majority. What we need to do is focus on red-state governor elections. We begin that process today by interviewing Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), a Freedom Caucus congressman running for governor in South Carolina. He is promising to go to war with the establishment Republicans and bring an entire new approach to the state. He will focus on broad quality-of-life issues rather than handing the state over to crony corporations under the false pretense of economic development. Finally, in that vein, I delve into the effort of BlackRock and Blackstone to purchase public utilities and work with data centers to strip us of our energy independence. If we don’t elect people like Norman in red states, we will lose our red-state land and infrastructure to the globalist networks.      Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Well, well, well. That didn’t take long. OpenAI’s leadership hinted yesterday at what we all know: namely, that the company's financing model is unsustainable and its leaders are expecting government to bail them out. I explain how their entire enterprise is not built upon the free market, so all of its economic and social consequences are not in line with the benefits we’ve reaped from legitimate technological revolutions. Unfortunately, the Trump administration continues to deny the economic problems while making data centers the centerpiece of its mission. I explain how and why we could crush the Left if we divorced from Big Tech. Finally, I express concerns about JD Vance’s “aristopopulism,” which mixes the worst elements of elitism and populism rather than the benefits of each.    Learn more about your ad choices.

Last night’s election results, capping an uninterrupted stream of Democrat victories down-ballot since 2017, lay bare for us the results of having an industry while Democrats enjoy a movement. We have no money, no ground game, no candidate recruitment, and, most importantly, no economic message. I cast a wide net in the analysis of where things are headed electorally and how we will never win by lying to people about inflation. Virginia Democrats were able to run on cost of living, crime, and drugs — issues we should own by a mile but have ceded because of a lack of ideological coherence on the Right. One thing is clear: Today’s show is an analysis you will not hear anywhere else.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
