## Resource

On the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, it’s time for a new kind of revolution. On today’s special show, I derive lessons from that faithful day and how to apply our founding ethos to today’s debacle. But we have to first want dramatic change. The problem is that many so-called conservatives are too comfortable with the status quo of the GOP and the way it governs. I’m joined by Noah Wall, president of the State Leadership Initiative, to discuss the uncomfortable truth about red America: Our so-called conservative states are crippled by federal dependency and corporate welfare. From billions of taxpayer dollars funneled into woke corporations to accepting socialist federal mandates just to keep Medicaid and SNAP funding flowing, red states are subsidizing the very institutions trying to destroy them. It's time to break the umbilical cord, end the venture socialism of the modern GOP, and reclaim state sovereignty before it’s too late. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
