As I’m sure you’ve noticed, much of the world has bought into the lie that cattle are destroying the planet. With things like USDA’s climate smart commodity project, natural asset companies, and carbon credits, it makes you wonder, has the cattle industry itself bought into that same lie? Independent journalist Jim Mundorf with Lonesome Lands joins us to discuss these hot topics, how mandatory ID and the checkoff play into this, and how we push back.

These days, mandatory animal ID and property rights have been in the hot seat so let’s talk about their connections to global warming, climate hysteria, and control. Wyoming U.S. Representative Harriet Hageman sat down with us to discuss the government overreach of these issues and how to rediscover the American fighting spirit and defend our livestock industries and our way of life.

It’s no secret that wolves are a huge problem for American ranchers in many Western states, but the heartbreaking attacks on livestock just serve as an example of something bigger. We sat down with Colorado rancher and journalist Rachel Gabel to break down to ballot box biology of Colorado’s wolf reintroduction and the door it opens to the attack on rural America and private property rights. You may not be from Colorado and you may not have wolf problems, but make no mistake this issue applies to you and your ranch.

Global elites trying to monetize the air we breathe and control food production? Are we kidding? We wish we were, but plans for Natural Asset Companies are in motion, potentially leading to the largest property rights violation in American history.

The global concentration of power pushing these control narratives have amassed and must be addressed. Tune in as Dutch farmers’ advocate and internationally renowned political commentator, Eva Vlaardingerbroek covers just that.
