The Hidden War on Red-State Land: Solar, Data Centers & the Death of Farming | 3/17/26

We will never live a prosperous and affordable life unless we end inflationary debt, and we will not end inflationary debt until we deal with the welfare and health care programs. Today I’m joined by Cindy Byrd, the Oklahoma state auditor who is running for lieutenant governor on a platform of ending fraud that is driving inflation in federal programs administered by the states. She exposed the fraud before Nick Shirley exposed the Somali day-care scandal. Byrd is calling for access to all eligibility criteria and for Republicans to have the guts to actually verify and remove those not eligible for these programs. We also discuss a vision for red states on proper land use, economic development that works for the people, cutting education fraud to lower property taxes, and a vision on health care that we desperately need.  Learn more about your ad choices.

At a time of record losses in farming, red-state governments are destroying farmland with solar, wind, carbon capture, data centers, Section 8 overdevelopment, and everything other than what land should be used for.  I also discuss how the dumb housing bill and HUD’s obsession with housing supply will culturally gerrymander red states. I’m joined by Indiana state Rep. Andrew Ireland (R), the youngest and most conservative member of the Indiana legislature, who is waging a battle against the forces of special interests gobbling up Indiana’s land. He explains how state Republicans have turned the land into a parking lot for special interests because they prioritize fake GDP numbers over authentic quality of life. We also discuss other challenges to red states like Indiana, such as Republicans lacking the will to combat blue cities, crime, and illegal immigration.  Learn more about your ad choices.

America’s founders never intended the Constitution to become a suicide pact that protects those who openly support our enemies. In this explosive episode, I break down why America’s immigration policies, political leadership, and legal system are failing to confront the growing threat of Islamist ideology inside the United States. I also explain the famous line from Justice Robert Jackson that “the Constitution is not a suicide pact” and why that warning may be more relevant today than ever. This conversation raises one of the most urgent questions facing America today: Can a nation survive if its laws are used against its own survival? I also warn how there is zero plan to deal with the Islamic issue even after the past two weeks of attacks. Trump is focused on the sophistry of the SAVE Act and trying to reauthorize the very FISA program that persecuted him.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The first step to solving the intractable jihadist threat in America is to properly diagnose it. The problem is not ISIS, a handful of “extremists,” or a certain strain of Islam. Islam itself demands that people participate in jihad and Sharia. It’s just that not everyone fully follows the religion. However, the entire infrastructure of mosques in America adhere to the only authentic dogma they have. I’m joined by Danny Burmawi, a Jordanian Muslim convert to Christianity, who warns that Islam is not a religion but a state in itself with some religious practice. He makes the case that while you have freedom to practice religion, you do not have the freedom to promote state activities subversive to America any more than the Chinese communists have a constitutional right to operate facilities on our shores if they called it a religion. We also discuss the need to rigorously denaturalize those engaging in this subversion, including family members of jihadists.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The conservative movement is facing a defining question: What comes after Donald Trump? In this episode, I sit down with State Freedom Caucus Network President Andy Roth to discuss the future of the American Right, the failures of the Republican establishment, and why state-level Freedom Caucus conservatives may be the only path forward. In a very deep discussion, we delve into why the Freedom Caucus is the only long-term strategy beyond Trump, how state Freedom Caucuses are reshaping conservative politics but still face enormous headwinds, and how primaries need to be reformed. Separately, I do a deep dive into how a disastrous new housing bill (HR 6644) will fundamentally alter the housing market, strip local zoning rights, and force unwanted AI data centers and Section 8 housing into deep-red counties. Federal grants will be used to bribe local RINO governments into destroying their own communities. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Former Army intelligence officer Michael Pregent joins me for an urgent, deep dive into the U.S. military's ongoing campaign against Iran. He breaks down the tactical successes of degrading the IRGC, the vital importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, and the critical pitfalls that are looming if we don’t learn from past mistakes. We also discuss the need to remove our worthless military bases in enemy countries that weigh us down and to develop a consistent strategy of alliances and deterrent that won’t negate our efforts in this war. Beyond the Middle East, we connect the dots to the existential threats right here at home — from open borders to domestic terrorism — and expose the dangerous foreign influence of nations like Qatar holding U.S. policy hostage.

Is the Republican Party actually enabling the very policies conservatives oppose? And why is conservative media more offended by Democrats who use the Bible to push their agenda when the GOP quietly does the same thing? In this explosive breakdown, Daniel Horowitz argues that the modern GOP — and its conservative media accomplice — has become a “Trojan horse” for Democrat policies — allowing liberal agendas to advance under a Republican label and getting the base to stand down. I dive into why Republican leaders, including Trump, continue to support policies conservatives would reject if proposed by Democrats and why the real voter fraud is the GOP. Conservative media obsesses about the SAVE Act and voter fraud, but I make the case for why an immigration moratorium should be our No. 1 issue instead of voter fraud. I also preview the Mississippi primaries and show how they are emblematic of why we continue to lose on policy.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

There is no sugarcoating this. In light of the rash of “Ramadan” terror attacks in America, the time has come for a complete moratorium on this form of immigration. I make the case for why Trump must use the DHS funding bill for immigration reform and why it’s a bigger deal than the SAVE Act. Next, I’m joined by Krista Schild of the RAIR Foundation, who observes how Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott’s designation of the Muslim Brotherhood in Texas has no teeth in it. The legislature needs to convene a special session. Meanwhile, Islamists with connections to some of the worst terrorists continue to run education facilities and mosques in Texas. Even rural Texas is being colonized with more mosques. This is a do-or-die moment for our civilization. Blue states are gone. Will Texas follow Mamdani’s New York City?   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Why do Republicans keep winning elections — but conservative policies never seem to flow? In this explosive episode, I break down the biggest problem in American politics today: the conservative movement’s shockingly low expectations for Republican leaders. I begin with analyzing Trump's five priorities and the missed opportunities and low expectations. I’m joined by Texas state Rep. Brian Harrison, who exposes how many Republican politicians campaign as conservative insurgents. But once in power, they empower Democrat policies, expand government, and then demand voters support them anyway to “beat the Democrats” — the very same Democrats they’ve empowered! If conservatives want real change, they must raise their expectations and demand accountability from their own party. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are foreign information ops injecting "digital fentanyl" into the American Right? Daniel Horowitz and David Reaboi expose the sophisticated campaigns dividing conservatives. We cannot fix the world's problems with a movement completely doped up on digital misdirection. Today, I’m joined by my friend David Reaboi to discuss his explosive upcoming book, "Viral Libels." We break down how foreign actors — specifically Russian information operations — are deliberately feeding the American Right a diet of distracting conspiracy theories built around Jews as the center of everything to make the movement cognitively ineffective. Separately, I discuss President Trump's recent primary endorsements in Montana and Texas, the danger of replacing principled conservatism with the GOP establishment status quo, and why focusing on real, domestic battles (medical freedom, land use, immigration) is the only way to save the country.
