South Dakota Land is Not For Sale

On June 12, 2024, Greg Lopez, James Lyons-Weiler, Trent Loos, and Saundra Larsen joined the show. Lopez outlined his campaign to complete Ken Buck’s term, emphasizing border security, constitutional principles, and the importance of preventing a socialist candidate from taking the seat Lyons-Weiler analyzed the bird flu threat assessment, critiqued PCR testing methodology, and exposed Bill Gates’s cattle vaccination scheme as an attack on food sources.

Bird Flu: Manufactured Crisis or Real Threat?

Start listening at 32:36 – Hour 1

James Lyons-Weiler, scientist and founder of IPAC-EDU.org, dismantles the bird flu panic sweeping the media. With only 83 confirmed dairy cow herds affected out of hundreds of thousands nationwide and just three human cases, all of whom recovered, the CDC’s own assessment rates the public health risk as low. Lyons-Weiler warns that the real danger lies not in the virus itself but in the potential for another round of flawed PCR testing that inflated COVID-19 case counts through arbitrary threshold values and missing negative controls.

The scientist traces a disturbing pattern: Europe has ordered millions of dollars worth of influenza vaccines, but ordered the wrong strain (H5N8 instead of H5N1). Meanwhile, Bill Gates pushes a scheme to vaccinate cattle against methane-producing gut bacteria, a plan Lyons-Weiler calls “ridiculously bad” that would give cows Crohn’s disease-like symptoms and destroy their ability to digest food. The war on food sources, he argues, ultimately serves those who profit from endless vaccine mandates.

“I’ve begun to see that, you know, the use of vaccines in public health, you know, given that the vaccinated are so less healthy than unvaccinated, we’ve seen that in data that we’ve analyzed and published and others have, too. It’s really kind of a gateway drug to profit.”

Carbon Pipelines and Saudi Control of American Energy

Start listening at 70:06 – Hour 2

Trent Loos, sixth-generation farmer and rancher, exposes the foreign money behind America’s CO2 pipeline push. The $17 billion Summit Carbon Solutions project, which threatens to seize farmland across the Midwest through eminent domain, connects directly to Saudi Arabia through a Des Moines lobbying firm that received $1.5 million from the Saudi embassy. The same lobbyist, former South Dakota GOP chair Dan Lederman, works for both Summit and Saudi interests.

South Dakota farmers are fighting back through a referendum petition drive requiring 17,500 signatures to block Senate Bill 201, which Governor Kristi Noem signed despite it stripping landowners of their rights. The bill, cynically named the “Landowners Bill of Rights,” allows perpetual conservation easements, merely reduced from forever to 99 years. Loos organized the “South Dakota Is Not For Sale” rally in Pierre, drawing nearly 200 supporters. He connects the dots to Saudi Arabia’s 2017 purchase of the Port Arthur Oil Refinery, the largest on the North American continent, calling it a strategic move to control 100% of U.S. energy production.

“They call it, here’s how bad it is and how bad Kristi Noem is, she calls it, as she signed it, the Landowners Bill of Rights. And yet, it removes the landowner from having a say on what they do on their property.”

Holding the Line in Colorado’s Fourth District

Start listening at 18:09 – Hour 1

Greg Lopez, Air Force veteran and Republican candidate in the CD4 special election, makes his case for maintaining the conservative seat abandoned by Ken Buck. Lopez faces Democrat Trisha Calvarese, a Bernie Sanders intern and AFL-CIO speechwriter whom Lopez calls a socialist trying to disguise herself as a moderate. The Denver District Court allowed her on the ballot despite challenges to her eligibility, citing insufficient time living in Colorado and registration with the Democratic Party.

With the House majority razor-thin, Lopez frames the race as the last bulwark against radical legislation. He pledged to be a “principal holder, not a placeholder,” focusing on border security and inflation. The special election appears at the bottom or back of the primary ballot, a placement Lopez calls a deliberate attempt to suppress Republican turnout. He urges voters in all 22 counties of CD4 to flip their ballots and vote by June 25th.

“I’m going to not be a placeholder. I’m going to be a principal holder. I’m going to go there with conservative values. I’m a constitutional conservative, believe in the Constitution.”

Reforming Colorado’s State Board of Education

Start listening at 107:59 – Hour 2

Saundra Larsen, veteran, minister, and small business owner running six businesses, enters the Republican primary for State Board of Education in CD4. With grandchildren approaching school age, she refuses to send them to public schools she deems unsafe. The current board sits at six liberals and three conservatives, with Larsen’s race and a CD8 contest offering potential shifts in the balance of power.

Larsen rejects the polite approach that has left conservatives silenced since 2008. She promises to be “a very loud voice on that board,” backed by an army of researchers, former legislators, and grassroots activists. When the mainstream media ignores conservative press conferences at the Capitol, she plans to generate coverage through direct action and public pressure.

“We as a nation have been too polite. It is time to stand up, to get involved, to make a difference, and I’m going to be a very loud voice on that board.”
