Simon Conway's interview with Representative Taylor Collins during Wednesday's first hour.

In this episode of ITR Live, Representative Taylor Collins joins Chris Hagenow for a conversation on higher education reform, property taxes, government spending, and what comes next for Iowa's conservative majority.Collins reflects on his role as chair of Iowa's new House Higher Education Committee, a position created to take on real reform—not just talk about it. He shares how his committee helped establish the new Center for Intellectual Freedom at the University of Iowa, designed to restore viewpoint diversity and push back against the left-wing bias that dominates campus life. Collins and Hagenow discuss why this isn't just about headlines—it's about making sure the reforms are implemented and monitored over time.The conversation shifts to college affordability, with Collins explaining the College Affordability Act, a new effort to encourage three-year degrees, work-study programs, and reduced bureaucracy in higher education. They also tackle the challenge of fixing curriculum priorities, ensuring that students leave college with civic knowledge—not just workforce training.On the fiscal front, Collins talks about his work on the House Appropriations Committee, where the focus remains on aligning spending with long-term revenue, not just chasing one-time budget surpluses. Chris and Taylor emphasize that Iowa's tax cuts will only work if spending stays under control, both at the state and local level.Finally, they discuss property tax reform—what's been done, what's left to do, and why changing taxpayer expectations is just as important as changing the system itself. The episode closes with a call for Iowa's conservative leaders to stay focused, keep finding the next big challenge, and continue moving Iowa forward.

Simon Conway's interview with Representative Taylor Collins during Thursday's second hour.

Have you ever wondered if it's possible to reverse the damage we have done to our earth? Have you been told that going vegan is the only way to do so? When Taylor Collins bought 900 acres of factory-farmed land, it was completely barren, desolate, and degraded. But by working with nature's cycles and reintroducing animals in order to loosen the soil and give back to the land, Taylor transformed his farm into a thriving ecosystem that supports higher crop yields, healthier soil and more nutritious food. In this episode, we talk about the power of connection, the “green narrative,” and what we as consumers can do to help our earth today. The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now – let's dive in!    HERE'S THE JUICE: How factory farming works against nature's principles to yield a higher output yet lower nutritional value Taylor's belief that humans aren't inherently destructive but our values of “more more more” absolutely are Why monocropping as a “solution” to global food insecurity is promoting a broken system How regenerative farming mimics the cycles of nature and creates community  Why we don't need to stop eating meat but we need to rethink how we do it The idea that healthy soil is the KEY to nutrient-rich foods and why topsoil is so critical Why “Impossible” Meat isn't actually a better or more sustainable solution than regeneratively farmed meat Why our farmers are in crisis – both personally and financially  How to vote with our dollars when it comes to food and support the growing community of regenerative farmers    Watch the full episode on What's The Juice YouTube Channel  To support our ad-free show, shop Olivia's line of herbalist-formulated supplements for digestion, anxiety, thyroid support, and more by visiting www.organicolivia.com.   Connect with Taylor: Instagram Force of Nature Website Force of Nature Instagram Connect with Olivia: Follow Organic Olivia  Olivia's personal IG Organic Olivia on TikTok Read Olivia's blog posts

In this episode of Where Hope Grows we explore the possibility that plants, animals, and overarching ecosystems have the capacity to communicate in a way that better enables us to understand their innate desires and biological needs. Through the transmission of energy for the purpose of communication, we ask what information might exist and how do we arrive at a place to experience these wonders. This episode will ground you to earth as a co-creator and open your mind to a beautiful possibility that when we are in tune with nature, we are intune with ourselves.

On this week's episode of Where Hope Grows, we talk through the trifecta of Mother Nature's brilliance. By exploring all things bison, wolves, and grassland birds, we better explore the important roles of keystone species as they relate to thriving ecosystems. Through biomimicry, we discover that it is possible to heal prairie and grasslands while simultaneously producing nourishing food and supporting intricate communities of wildlife.

I am so excited to bring you today's guest Taylor Collins from Force of Nature Meats. Taylor has a way of electrifying us with hope about the health of our soil, animals, food and overall ecosystem through a dramatic re-imagination of our food system and understanding how animals play a vital role in this. He is the founder of roam ranch, a multi species regenerative ranch which once was a highly degraded infertile piece of land due to conventional chemical agriculture methods. He is also one of the founders of Force of Nature Meats, a regenerative meat company and movement.

Three years ago, BJ Ojulari walked toward Mercedes-Benz Stadium with an LSU hat and his mother instructed him not to wear it. They were there to support his older brother, Azeez, a rising star at outside linebacker for Georgia. On top of that, she reminded him, the school provided their tickets. BJ begrudgingly stuffed the hat in his pocket until they reached their seats. He put it back on once they got there, making him the only person in a section filled with red and black who rooted for the Tigers at the 2019 Southeastern Conference championship game. His mother told him to go to the LSU side, to which BJ responded that he was LSU to the core. BJ had committed to LSU two months earlier to make a name for himself in college football. He wanted Azeez to play well that day, but he cheered for the team he would one day lead back to the conference title game. With the situation flipped, BJ expects Azeez to approach the SEC championship Saturday afternoon in Atlanta the same way he once did. He is the leader of LSU's defense, but his brother has other allegiances. They've bantered ever since No. 14 LSU and No. 1 Georgia clinched their spots about three weeks ago. BJ knows Azeez wants him to succeed on Saturday, but he will be rooting for the Dawgs. An Atlanta-area native with his brother already there, BJ was pursued by the Bulldogs. He called them "a big factor" in his recruitment. Azeez tried to sway him as well, and BJ thought about following him. But he felt embraced by then-LSU coach Ed Orgeron and his staff, which offered a younger brother the chance to establish himself. In three years, BJ has done that. He blossomed into a star while LSU struggled to an 11-12 record the last two seasons. Then new defensive coordinator Matt House moved him from defensive end to standup outside linebacker, which helped him take another step.BJ is showing talent and versatility that may make him an early round pick in the NFL Draft.   In the wake of the 2020 census, the Marietta City Council is preparing to redistrict the city's seven wards, which serve as districts for both the council and Marietta Board of Education. After the census is taken every ten years, the city must redraw its ward lines, if the wards' populations are not roughly equal in size, as required by federal law. Mayor Steve “Thunder” Tumlin told the MDJ Monday he expects each ward to have about 8,600 people. Marietta has about 61,500 people, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates. The council's Judicial Legislative Committee began the process Tuesday by appointing its three members — Chairman Andy Morris, Cheryl Richardson and Andre Sims — to the city's ad hoc Redistricting Ward Map Study Committee. The three council members on the committee will have voting privileges. A Marietta school board member will also sit on the committee but have no vote on the maps. The Marietta school board follows the same ward maps as the council. Tumlin said the committee will hold public meetings to determine new ward maps, which will be drawn with the help of computer software. That software, he said, takes the census results into account to create new boundaries. At Tuesday's meeting, city Attorney Doug Haynie said the city is no longer required to gain pre-clearance, or approval from the U.S. Department of Justice, for its redistricted ward maps. Before the landmark 2013 U.S. Supreme Court decision Shelby County v. Holder, all redistricting plans in the state required pre-clearance from the Justice Department to ensure maps were fairly drawn and did not discriminate against any group of voters.   Santa Claus visited the Jonquil City on Wednesday night, where he lit downtown Smyrna's giant Christmas tree with a shower of magic dust. Residents flooded downtown Smyrna around City Hall for the city's annual “Coming Home for the Holidays” event. Richard Garland, the city's parks and recreation director, estimated more than 5,000 people attended. “It was wall to wall from the colonnade at the entrance all the way down to city hall,” Garland said. Choirs from Osborne and Campbell high schools and nine elementary schools sang carols throughout the evening. Despite warmer weather, people walked around the festive downtown sipping free hot chocolate. When the time came, Santa was led into the festival by the Campbell High marching band, then lifted into the air in the basket of a fire truck as the crowd chanted his name. A reported delay in absentee ballot mailings for the Dec. 6 U.S. Senate runoff election was due to office closures for the Thanksgiving holiday, Cobb's elections chief said Wednesday. Elections Director Janine Eveler said more than 3,400 ballots were affected by the delay, but have since been mailed to voters. “Everything is out the door,” she said. Those ballots were originally marked as issued on November 23, the day before Thanksgiving. Multiple state lawmakers told the MDJ they'd heard from constituents that their ballots — marked as issued in the state's ballot tracker — had still not been received as of earlier this week. In the case of the 3,442 ballots marked issued on the 23rd, Eveler said they were mailed out Monday because her office was closed on Thanksgiving Day and the day after. The reported delays sparked concerns the ballots were not mailed at all, as happened with more than 1,000 ballots in the weeks prior to the Nov. 6 general election. In that instance, Eveler initially said there was no evidence a significant number of ballots were missing, but days later announced the ballots had never been mailed. State Rep. David Wilkerson, D-Powder Springs, said he'd been tracking the ballot requests in the secretary of state's system, but it's too early to tell if there have been any errors. When the issue was made public before the general election, it was weeks after the ballots had supposedly been mailed. All absentee ballots must be returned by the time the polls close at 7 p.m. on Dec. 6. Voters can check the status of their absentee ballot at mvp.sos.ga.gov.   The McEachern girls outscored Kell 12-1 in overtime to win 66-55 in a battle of top-10 teams at Lovinggood Arena on Tuesday. The Indians ranked Number 8 in Class 7A, got 18 points from Jada Bates and 17 from Kalise Hill to offset 35 points from the Longhorns' Crystal Henderson. Bates connected on back-to-back 3-pointers — the second coming with 3:49 to play in the third quarter — to give McEachern its biggest lead in regulation at 37-30. Henderson then scored 18 of Kell's final 21 points in regulation, including making two 3-pointers and going 11-of-12 from the free-throw line. Two free throws from Haleigh Cephus and one from Williams gave the Indians a 57-54 lead, and moments later, Taylor Collins hit a 3 to push the lead to six. With just seconds left in the game and the shot clock running down, Collins made her second 3 in overtime — a 30-footer — to cap the scoring. Collins and Williams each finished the night with nine points.    Cobb EMC's Holiday Light Tour will feature light displays at the Cobb EMC Solar Flower Garden along with nine other homes serviced by the electric cooperative. “Many of our members told us how much they enjoyed the Holiday Light Tour last year and we can't wait to brighten the holiday season once again,” said Kris Delaney, Vice President of Marketing at Cobb EMC. “It's a chance for families and the community to experience some amazing light displays from Cobb EMC members that are participating for a great cause.” Cobb EMC's Holiday Light Tour kicks off with the grand lighting drive-through event on Dec. 1 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Solar Flower Garden at Cobb EMC off Highway 41 in Marietta. At the event, participants can walk through the Solar Flower Garden light display, meet Santa and Mrs. Claus, pick up a holiday light tour map and have cookies with Wattson. The nine homes participating in the light tour are: Riley's Rockin' Christmas in Kennesaw. Red Bud Christmas in Dallas. Smoot Family Christmas in Acworth. Hrockin Hranicky Christmas in Acworth. Byrd Family Lights in Acworth. Lights of Joy in Kennesaw. Fox Family Christmas in Roswell. The Most Wonderful Time of the Year in Marietta. Lane Lights in Marietta.

Eating quality pasture-raised meat can help heal the planet and our bodies. This is what it did for Taylor Collins, the co-founder of Force of Nature Meats, and a former vegan. Taylor today debunks myths propagated about the deleterious effects of meat on our health and on the land. He explains that animals are an integral part of the process of regenerative agriculture by sequestering carbon, re-vitalizing soil, and increasing environmental biodiversity. He also explains how eating meat is a regenerative act for the human body, since it abounds in nutrients that build muscles and improve hormonal and cognitive function. Not all meat is equal, he hastens to remind us.. Its provenance affects its quality and its effect on the earth. Go to forceofnature.com for more on their mission and for resources.

Consumers are eating exactly what they're told, how they're told, where they're told, not asking questions and just showing up to the register, voting and supporting a system that actually is continuing to ensure and perpetuate that they will eat unhealthy food. We're going to do our part at Roam Ranch and Force of Nature which is to fix the broken food system but we need help. - Robby Sansom + Taylor Collins Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Use code "JOSH" for 10% off your first order Force of Nature is on a mission to improve our environment and health through regenerative agriculture while answering the community's call for food raised in a way that truly aligns with their values. The term “regenerative” means that the agriculture systems in which this food was raised honor the systems within Mother Nature. We care for the soil, respect diversity in plants and animals on the land, and focus on natural outcomes versus synthetic inputs. That means no tilling, no synthetic chemicals, no hormones or antibiotics, and beautiful, wide-open spaces. The result is what you expect. Disrupting the Big Food Industry We spent the last decade studying regenerative agriculture at ranches all over the world before we answered the community's call to launch Force of Nature. Never before has a company founded on the principles of regenerative agriculture, curated a vast collection of land stewards, ranchers, and farmers who are committed to creating a positive return on the planet. Our mission is to accelerate the creation of a global regenerative supply network, to justify our supplier partners' efforts on the land, and to offer consumers the awareness and the ability to vote for a system that aligns with their values. By reclaiming the legacy of meat, we will benefit all stakeholders of the planet and restore regenerative principles to their rightful place as the keystone to our agricultural system. Regenerative Farming is Better Meat that is more delicious and nutritious than anything else you can buy, including organic and traditional grass fed. Animals that are raised with honor in their respected natural environments, eating foods they are supposed to eat. A quality of life for ranchers and their communities that has been lacking for decades in the conventional system. A proven solution to our climate challenges with the power to sequester carbon and prevent many of the environmental disasters we face today.

Bill Gates is the biggest private owner of farmland in the United States. Why? The truth about influencers like the Kardashians and the fact that they are being paid millions of dollars to promote fake meat to their audience.

Power Quotes From The Show Omnivorous Truth: Starving with Our Bellings Full "As a culture, as a species, we are starving with our bellies full. We are seeing plummeting fertility rates, chronic diseases, obesity, and children are dying. That is why we should all be caring and having this conversation that looks directly back at our food and the land on which everything is dependent upon." - Taylor Collins Revealing Food Industry Lies "Big Food, Big Agriculture, Big Oil, Big Chemical, and Big Pharma are all tied together in our food system and they support the left side party, the right side party, and all that flow of money says, 'Don't mess up this machine.' If you look at what's going on with social media and the internet as they try to censor conversations, we need consumers to break out of their mold and become independent thinkers to stop allowing themselves to perpetuate the myths and the lies that they have been fed for years and to look at what's really happening in the food industry. A value meal at Chic-fil-A is more expensive than buying regenerative protein and whole vegetables to make a meal together as a family." - Robby Sansom Healing with Regenerative Ranching "If my wife was still vegan today she would either be dead or in a wheelchair. We ditched the vegan diet and began to eat in an evolutionary consistent manner. Within days, years of symptoms we had just went away." - Taylor Collins Links From Today's Show  Taylor Collins Robby Sansom Where Hope Grows Podcast EPIC Provisions: How This Husband + Wife Went From Being Vegan To Starting A Meat-Based Snack Brand These Founders Sold Their Food Company for a Reported $100 Million.

Started by first generation farmers, Katie and Taylor's journey into ranching was based on a vision to positively impact large-scale agriculture through producing nourishing food that improves the lives of animals, enriches the health of consumers, and regenerates the land on which we depend. Like much of the world, this once-fertile region has been industrially farmed for the past 100 years. Through persistent tilling of soil, planting of monoculture row crops, and overgrazing, ROAM Ranch was not capable of producing food upon its purchase. Land in this condition is often deemed "unsalvageable" and in many circumstances further degenerates with rest- but we are going to prove otherwise. Force of Nature Meats partners with regenerative ranchers to bring you the best meat on the planet, for the planet.  With the intention to accelerate the creation of a global regenerative supply network. Never before has a company founded in the principles of regenerative agriculture curated a vast collection of land stewards, ranchers, and farmers who are committed to creating a positive return on the planet. Force of Nature now exists to give consumers the ability to vote for environmental regeneration by consuming meat that is actually good for the planet.
