Summary

With the looming threat of a Democrat federal trifecta, the battleground for American freedom has shifted. Red-state governors are our final, unbreakable bulwark against the radical Washington agenda. I explain how we can fight every major issue in the red states but that if we ignore the primaries, we will be left without a single governor who shares our values. I’m joined by South Dakota gubernatorial candidate Jon Hansen, the speaker of the South Dakota House. Speaker Hansen brings the receipts on how to actually govern with a conservative mandate. We dive deep into state-level sovereignty, pushing back against uniparty corporatism, and why true leadership means standing up to special interests. He is perhaps the candidate running this year who has the strongest record of actually fighting the RINOs on every issue that divides the corporatist Republicans from grassroots conservatives — from data centers, carbon capture, and Big Wind to marijuana, abortion, illegal immigration, and medical freedom.  Learn more about your ad choices.

obviously all of us that pay taxes feel that what is the purpose in paying taxes to a government

that has violated the social compact. And I think, you know, I'm not going to focus on tax policy

today, but it's a good segue into what I do want to get into, which is red state governors.

0:49.0

Right now in the next few months, May, June, July, August is when we're going to determine the nominees

to be Republican governors in red states in America. The majority, not all, but the majority of them,

focus because this will determine whether we have one last refuge from a broken federal government that Democrats are going to take over, we're going to be left with nothing, or whether we have this sort of remnant to escape to, a remnant of God, land, soulfulness, soul and soil. Do we have that? So we're going to have

John Hanson from South Dakota coming up. But again, I got to think this is my national anthem.

on such an array of fiscal, social, national security issues, immigration, elections,

strategies. But there is nothing more important than this, because here is the reality.

2:15.2

It is a done deal that Democrats are going to crush it.

2:19.6
