In today’s episode, I’m joined by Hon. TW Shannon, former Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives and candidate for Oklahoma Lieutenant Governor.

TW shares his personal story of growing up in a faith-filled family, becoming one of the most conservative Speakers in Oklahoma history, and serving as a senior advisor to President Trump. He explains why he believes the future of Oklahoma — and America — depends on three foundational principles: Christianity, capitalism, and the Constitution.

This conversation covers limited government, border security, tax reform, welfare reform, school choice, tribal sovereignty, economic growth, and the fight against DEI and woke policies.

Key Topics Discussed

• TW Shannon’s background and conservative values
• Serving in the Trump administration and advancing America First policies
• Why the Constitution protects rights granted by our Creator
• Equal opportunity vs. equal outcomes
• Reforming welfare with work requirements
• Cutting taxes and limiting government growth
• Expanding school choice and improving education accountability
• Ending DEI and affirmative action policies in Oklahoma
• Immigration enforcement and border security
• Working with Oklahoma’s 39 federally recognized tribes
• Promoting Oklahoma as a destination for business, tourism, and families

Why This Conversation Matters

Oklahoma is one of the most conservative states in the country, yet it still faces challenges — including government growth, education reform, and the strain of illegal immigration.

TW outlines how a constitutional conservative approach rooted in faith, free markets, and limited government can expand opportunity, strengthen families, and keep Oklahoma moving forward.

Episode Overview

In this episode of The Jenny Beth Show, Jenny Beth Martin sits down with Congressman Pete Stauber (MN-8) to discuss the massive fraud scandal unfolding in Minnesota — a scandal that could total anywhere from $9 billion to as much as $30 billion in alleged abuse of taxpayer funds.

From Medicaid fraud and SNAP benefit irregularities to daycare centers that never operated and feeding programs that allegedly didn’t serve the children they claimed, this investigation is raising serious concerns about oversight, accountability, and leadership at both the state and federal levels.

Congressman Stauber explains how whistleblowers inside Minnesota’s government first sounded the alarm, what role independent journalists played in exposing the scope of the fraud, and how Congress is working to restore integrity to public programs.

Topics Covered

• How Minnesota’s fraud scandal was first uncovered
• Whistleblower reports from state agencies
• Allegations involving Medicaid, SNAP, and childcare programs
• The “Feeding Our Future” controversy
• Claims of missing oversight and failed accountability measures
• TSA reports of large cash transfers leaving the state
• Congressional efforts to investigate and reform oversight systems
• Broader concerns about fraud in other states
• The role of independent journalists in exposing abuse
• The importance of restoring public trust in government programs

Why This Matters

Taxpayer dollars are intended to serve vulnerable Americans — including children, seniors, and families in need. When fraud is allowed to flourish, it undermines public trust, weakens critical services, and damages confidence in government institutions.

This episode examines what went wrong, who is being held accountable, and what reforms may be necessary to prevent similar failures in the future.

Securing the Border & Stopping China | Dr. Dawn Buckingham, Texas Land Commissioner

In this episode, Jenny Beth Martin sits down with Dr. Dawn Buckingham, Texas Land Commissioner, to discuss how Texas is using its constitutional authority, land management powers, and mineral resources to strengthen border security, protect American sovereignty, and fund public education.

Dr. Buckingham oversees 13 million acres of Texas public land and the mineral rights that support the Permanent School Fund — one of the largest sovereign wealth funds in the United States. She explains how oil, gas, and rare earth mineral development on Texas land help finance schools, veterans programs, and disaster recovery efforts without raising taxes.

The conversation also explores Texas’ aggressive action to secure the southern border during the Biden administration, including:

• Declaring disputed islands in the Rio Grande as Texas territory to eliminate cartel safe havens
• Purchasing strategic border property to accelerate border wall construction
• Enhancing surveillance to detect cartel tunnels
• Supporting Border Patrol and maintaining operational control of state lands

Dr. Buckingham also details how Texas intervened to prevent Chinese nationals from acquiring strategic land near critical infrastructure and military bases, protecting the state’s energy grid and national security.

In addition, she shares updates on the historic preservation and transformation of the Alamo — including the creation of a world-class museum, education center, and restoration efforts designed to protect the Shrine of Texas Liberty for future generations.

Topics Covered:

• Border security and cartel enforcement efforts
• Rare earth minerals and reducing reliance on China
• Oil and gas production on Texas public lands
• Protecting strategic land from foreign adversaries
• The Permanent School Fund and funding public education
• Veterans homes, cemeteries, and land programs
• Disaster recovery and flood mitigation
• The Alamo restoration project
• Leadership principles for elected officials

Texas has long stood at the center of the fight for sovereignty, energy independence, and constitutional governance. In this conversation, Dr. Buckingham explains why what happens in Texas doesn’t just impact Texans — it shapes the future of the entire country.

In this episode of The Jenny Beth Show, Jenny Beth Martin sits down with Benjamin Osborne, Legal Fellow at the Center for Renewing America, to examine the constitutional limits of state power and the federal government’s authority to enforce immigration law.

Osborne explains how the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution works in practice and why states cannot legally nullify or obstruct federal law. Using recent events in Minnesota as a case study, he outlines the difference between lawful state resistance and unconstitutional defiance, and clarifies the proper mechanisms states can use to challenge federal policy.

The conversation also explores the Insurrection Act, including when it can be invoked, how it has been used historically, and what legal options are available to a president when state officials refuse to enforce federal law. Osborne walks through the president’s authority to federalize the National Guard and the constitutional duty to ensure that laws are faithfully executed.

In addition, Osborne discusses the legal challenge to automatic birthright citizenship, his role in filing an amicus brief supporting President Trump’s position, and the upcoming Supreme Court case. He explains the historical and legal arguments surrounding allegiance, sovereignty, and why the current system has created incentives for illegal immigration.

This episode provides a clear, constitutional framework for understanding immigration enforcement, federal supremacy, and the consequences of state resistance to the rule of law.

In this episode of The Jenny Beth Show, Jenny Beth Martin is joined by Mathew D. Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel, to examine the most consequential Supreme Court cases impacting religious freedom in America today.

Staver outlines how government overreach—at the state and local levels—is increasingly colliding with First Amendment protections. From COVID-era mandates that shuttered churches to states openly defying federal law, these cases reveal a growing constitutional crisis with nationwide implications.

Key topics discussed include:

• Ongoing Supreme Court cases involving religious exemptions, federal law, and state mandates
• How COVID lockdowns exposed unconstitutional restrictions on churches and faith-based institutions
• A shocking custody case where a court barred a mother from taking her child to church or even reading the Bible
• Government-compelled speech and the legal battle over forced pronoun usage in public employment
• The fight to protect Christian employers and universities from ideological coercion
• Parental rights, counseling bans, and the long-term consequences of government-mandated “affirming care”
• Why these legal battles will shape the future of religious liberty, free speech, and constitutional government

Staver also explains why Liberty Counsel is at the forefront of these fights and what Americans should be watching as these cases move through the courts.

This conversation is essential listening for anyone concerned about the erosion of constitutional freedoms and the role the Supreme Court will play in defining religious liberty for generations to come.

In this episode of The Jenny Beth Show, Jenny Beth Martin is joined by IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, two career IRS Criminal Investigation agents who came forward after witnessing political interference in the federal investigation into Hunter Biden.

Shapley and Ziegler walk listeners through how the case originated, the evidence they uncovered, and the investigative steps that were blocked or delayed by the Department of Justice. They explain how search warrants were denied, interviews were tipped off, charging decisions were overridden, and how normal procedures were abandoned in ways they had never seen in any other case.

The conversation also explores what led each of them to become whistleblowers, the retaliation and isolation they faced, and the personal cost of choosing to speak the truth. Both guests share hard-earned lessons for other government employees, the importance of following lawful whistleblower processes, and why equal justice under the law is essential to maintaining public trust.

This episode offers a rare, firsthand account of government weaponization, institutional corruption, and the courage required to stand up when the system protects the powerful instead of enforcing the law equally.
