How are elections won when millions in campaign spending still leave voters at home? Cliff Maloney joins Jeff Fargo to break down the ground game behind voter turnout, ballot chasing and the 2026 midterms.

Cliff is the CEO of Citizens Alliance, founder of the PA Chase and author of Run Right. He explains why campaign consultants favor expensive media buys, what it takes to recruit and manage paid door knockers, and why registered supporters do not always become actual voters.

This full Fargo Talks conversation goes inside campaign budgets, grassroots organizing, early voting and the partnership with Turning Point Action. Cliff also discusses Charlie Kirk's approach to activism, his organization's 2026 field plans in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada and New Hampshire, and the longer game leading into 2028.

We also get into where artificial intelligence helps with voter data and text conversations, where human relationships still matter, and why raising resourceful kids starts with letting them figure things out.

Will AI replace real estate agents? Judd Hoffman thinks that question misses the point.

Judd Hoffman, CEO and Co-Founder of Ethica AI, joins Jeff Fargo on Fargo Talks for a wide-ranging conversation about artificial intelligence, real estate, technology, entrepreneurship, and what happens to human work as AI gets better at an unprecedented pace.

Real estate has reusable rockets, self-driving cars and AI capable of writing code in seconds, yet agents are still sitting in parking lots filling out PDFs. Judd explains why he believes the industry has been underserved by technology, why real estate agents are routinely underestimated, and where AI can actually make their lives better.

The goal, according to Judd, is not to replace the agent. It is to remove the administrative work that keeps the agent away from clients.

In this episode:

• Will AI actually replace real estate agents?

• Why real estate has been so slow to adopt new technology

• The agent who kept a laptop hidden under his passenger seat so he could complete paperwork from his car

• Why the decades-old PDF is still running huge parts of the real estate transaction

• What AI should do for agents and what should remain human

• Why the agents who adopt AI early may gain a massive advantage

• How AI is changing jobs, education and the decisions young people make about their careers

• Why companies struggle to adopt technology when greater efficiency may mean fewer employees

• How Judd thinks about investing in people, entrepreneurship and opportunity

• Why time, accuracy and peace of mind may matter more than the flashy AI features getting most of the attention

Judd also discusses Ethica AI and Ethica, its AI transaction assistant built to help California REALTORS® handle transaction paperwork through voice and text while keeping the agent at the center of the transaction. Ethica is currently offered as a free member benefit through the California Association of REALTORS®.

This is also a conversation between two friends who have known each other for more than a decade, so it goes well beyond technology. We get into business, relationships, investing, animals, the future of work and what it means to bet on people before everybody else sees what you see.

Where's the best hospital in the Las Vegas area? Chris Loftus, CEO of West Henderson Hospital, part of the Valley Health System, sits down with Jeff Fargo on Fargo Talks to answer the questions patients across southern Nevada actually search: how long are ER wait times, how do you compare hospitals using CMS star ratings and Leapfrog grades, what are the stroke warning signs (BE FAST), and how does hands-only CPR work.

Located in Henderson, Nevada, West Henderson Hospital draws patients from across the Las Vegas valley, from the Strip to Southern Highlands to Sun City Anthem, and from neighboring states. Chris shares how the hospital went from opening its doors to being voted gold for Best Hospital in the Las Vegas Review-Journal's Best of Las Vegas 2025, why it was built at 150 beds with a master plan to expand to 450, and the "Who Packs Your Parachute" philosophy behind its culture. He also explains why every elective surgery patient gets a personal call from a hospital executive the night before their procedure.

West Henderson Hospital is part of Valley Health System, a network of acute care hospitals, freestanding emergency departments, and behavioral health facilities serving Las Vegas, Henderson, and southern Nevada. Valley Health System's parent company is Universal Health Services (UHS), headquartered in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.

Adam Clausen was sentenced to 213 years in federal prison for a string of armed robberies. He served 20 years, 5 months, and 17 days. In August 2020 he walked out through compassionate release under the First Step Act. Today he works in Washington DC fighting to free the men he left behind.

In this episode of Fargo Talks, Jeff Fargo sits down with Adam at Level Nine Studios in Las Vegas for the conversation other podcasts haven't had. Not the sentence. Not the headlines. The kid with scholarship offers who disappeared. The 700-page memoir written inside. The promise he made to men still serving life: if I'm not successful, they die in prison. And why his release day wasn't the happiest day of his life.

Questions this episode answers:

What is the First Step Act and how does compassionate release work? Adam explains the law that ended a 213-year sentence after two decades.

Can people truly change in prison? Adam built the first program of incarcerated life coaches in the country before his release.

What does life after a long sentence look like? Adam now leads innovation at Social Purpose Corrections, hosts the Gritability podcast, and runs the clothing line 27th Straight.

In this episode of Fargo Talks, Jeff sits down with Rob from McDojoLife for a wide ranging conversation that starts with friendship, podcasting, and Shot Show stories, then turns into a deeper talk about what really matters in martial arts.

They break down why choosing a gym is not as simple as picking a style, why parents should feel empowered to ask better questions, and why “just push through it” is not always the right answer for kids or adults. Rob doesn’t hold back on the biggest issue he sees in the industry: the lack of basic safeguards. No real regulatory body. No universal requirements. And in too many cases, not enough accountability.

In this episode of Fargo Talks, Jeff and Tahverlee go way beyond surface spirituality. They talk about what magic really is, how energy responds when we engage with it, and why slowing down enough to feel your own heartbeat might be one of the most radical acts of rebellion you can take in an AI-driven world. Tahverlee even walks Jeff through a live energy ritual where they sync their heartbeats in real time.

They dive into:

The “origin of magic” and how Tahverlee defines real witchcraft

Why sovereignty matters now more than ever in a hyper-digital, post-pandemic world

How women have been conditioned away from their power and their bodies

The truth about hexing and curses… and why most of us are doing it without realizing it

How trees, nature and our physical bodies become portals back to our own wisdom

Why contemplating your own death can make your life richer, braver and more honest

Raising kind kids, Gen X grit and staying human in the middle of the machine

Tahverlee’s upcoming Sacred Magic book series and why she’s bringing “teeth” back into modern witchcraft.

Mackenzie Dern sits down with Jeff Fargo for a raw conversation about fighting for a world title and raising a daughter at the same time.

In this episode Jeff and Mackenzie go deep on what it means to be a UFC strawweight champion and a present mom. They talk about growing up on the mats, turning adversity into fuel, and why she wants Moa to struggle just enough to become strong rather than sheltered. Mackenzie opens up about co parenting, keeping her daughter first even with a global spotlight, and how fifteen minutes of real quality time can change everything.

You will hear stories about bringing Moa to the gym in a car seat, learning to train while watching her out of the corner of her eye, and the first time her daughter coached her during a title fight from the crowd. Mackenzie breaks down how she stays locked in while her little girl is screaming for her to kick and punch, and why she refuses to rush in when Moa falls at the playground so her daughter can learn to get back up on her own.

They also dive into legacy and life after the belt. Mackenzie shares her timeline for the rest of her career, how she thinks about protecting her health, and her vision for Mackenzie as a business not just a fighter. From future wine and bikini lines to saying yes to the right opportunities, this is a masterclass in building a life and a legacy beyond the octagon.
