Today on The Jenny Beth Show, Noah Wall of the State Leadership Initiative pulls back the curtain on what he calls the shadow government: a constellation of unelected national associations that quietly standardize policy across all 50 states, funded by taxpayer dollars and accountable to no voter. Republican states carry a 20% lower tax burden than blue states, yet far too many still govern like them. Noah explains why, and what grassroots patriots can do about it.
Guest: Noah Wall, Founder, State Leadership Initiative (stateleadership.org)
