The State of Freedom

Attorney William Most joins hosts Danielle Walker and Chris Alexander to discuss lawsuits challenging secrecy and alleged procedural violations surrounding a proposed SpaceX spaceport in Vermilion Parish and the Louisiana Public Service Commission's Lightning Directive.

Every election season, politicians line up to thank veterans, then leave life-saving VA healthcare reform buried on Capitol Hill once the ballots are counted. On this Veterans Day edition of For the Love of Freedom, Afghanistan combat veteran Mark Lucas, Founder and President of Veteran Action, joins Danielle Walker to expose why VA leadership and politicians in both parties keep blocking community care, what must happen right now in the lame-duck Congress, and why impeachment threats at the Pentagon can't go unanswered. Plus, how foreign conflict weighed on the midterms, why voters want Washington refocused at home, and how to take action at VeteranAction.org. When the campaign slogans fade, who actually fights for our veterans?   Make your Warrior Status official.

Baton Rouge civil-rights attorney and Army veteran Joe Long joins State of Freedom hosts Danielle Walker and Chris Alexander to discuss cases challenging government overreach and institutional abuse. He recounts Louisiana COVID-era litigation, prison sexual-assault accountability, regulatory-board appeals, qualified immunity, and his defense of a January 6 protester.   SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: Romans 8:1-4 TPT "So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One. For the "law" of the Spirit of life flowing through the anointing of Jesus has liberated us from the "law" of sin and death. For God achieved what the law was unable to accomplish, because the law was limited by the weakness of human nature. Yet God sent us his Son in human form to identify with human weakness. Clothed with humanity, God's Son gave his body to be the sin-offering so that God could once and for all condemn the guilt and power of sin. So now every righteous requirement of the law can be fulfilled through the Anointed One living his life in us. And we are free to live, not according to our flesh, but by the dynamic power of the Holy Spirit!"   ACTION & INFO FROM TODAY'S EPISODE: Join the Warriors' Circle: https://join.freedomstate.us/ for exclusive content and to have a voice in the topics of conversation we have here on TSOF.

The State of Freedom hosts Danielle Walker and Chris Alexander interview Jay Valentine, vice president of operations at Fractal Computing, about alternatives to hyperscale data centers. Valentine argues that distributed, low-I/O computing can run major applications on small computers at lower cost, while the hosts examine Louisiana's proposed data center projects, public oversight, and potential impacts on ratepayers.   SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: Proverbs 10:22 ESV "The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it."   ACTION & INFO FROM TODAY'S EPISODE: Join the Warriors' Circle: https://join.freedomstate.us/ for exclusive content and to have a voice in the topics of conversation we have here on TSOF.

Will local roots make it to Washington? Danielle Walker and co-host Chris Alexander of the Louisiana Citizen Advocacy Group (LACAG) talk with two candidates who have never served in Washington. Monique Appeaning is the Republican candidate for Louisiana's 6th Congressional District and a former analyst at the Louisiana Legislative Fiscal Office. Jamie Davis is the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate and a farmer. They cover the budget, infrastructure, tax exemptions, election integrity, party pressure, and property rights. Appeaning walks through Louisiana's infrastructure grades, including D for drinking water and D+ for bridges. She calls for a balanced federal budget with the national debt at $41 trillion. She has "major concerns" about tax exemptions for data centers and carbon capture, and she supports paper ballots. Davis says he's "not a puppet" and isn't beholden to anyone. He gets pressed on Supreme Court expansion and impeachment. Davis backs oversight of federal dollars and private property rights. He says he made his best crop ever in 2025 and still ended up in the red. Join The Warrior Circle to support this voice of truth.   SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: Hebrews 6:7-8 TPT "For men's hearts are just like the soil that drinks up the showers which often fall upon it. Some soil will yield crops as God's blessing upon the field. But if the field continues to produce only thorns and thistles a curse hangs over it and it will be burned."    ACTION & INFO FROM TODAY'S EPISODE: Join the Warriors' Circle: https://join.freedomstate.us/ for exclusive content and to have a voice in the topics of conversation we have here on TSOF.
