In Layman's Terms with Guy Nohra Episode 28: Rep. Riley Moore

🎙️ Congressman Riley Moore on Faith, Free Markets, and the Fight for State Sovereignty | In Layman’s Terms with Guy Nohra   In this compelling episode of In Layman’s Terms, Guy Nohra sits down with Congressman Riley Moore of West Virginia for an unfiltered conversation about the battle over ESG, the future of state rights, and the role of faith in American governance. Drawing from his experience as the first elected official to divest state funds from BlackRock, Moore breaks down why he believes ESG threatens free markets, energy independence, and the constitutional balance between states and the federal government.   Moore speaks candidly about his faith-driven commitment to defending persecuted Christians around the world, highlighting crises in places like Nigeria and the broader Middle East. He also walks through the intricacies of the appropriations process, the looming risks of government shutdowns, and his belief that federal overreach continues to erode the autonomy of states like West Virginia.   Throughout the interview, Moore emphasizes the economic reality often overlooked in national debates: energy drives inflation, and policies that restrict or manipulate energy markets inevitably burden working families. Backed by a state with a billion-dollar rainy-day fund and a deep commitment to free-market principles, Moore outlines why he sees West Virginia as a model for resisting ESG pressures and protecting constitutional freedoms.   Grounded in faith, sharpened by legislative experience, and driven by a conviction to safeguard individual liberty, Riley Moore offers a frank and timely conversation on politics, state power, and the global struggle for religious freedom.   🔗 Connect with Congressman Riley Moore X (Twitter): @RepRileyMoore     🔗 Connect with Guy Nohra X (Twitter): @GuyNohra LinkedIn: /guypaulnohra Instagram: /therealguynohra   🔑 Key Topics Covered   • How Riley Moore became the first elected official to divest state funds from ESG-aligned firms • The dangers of ESG and why proxy voting laws matter • Christian persecution in the Middle East and Nigeria • Appropriations, federal spending, and government shutdown dynamics • State rights vs. federal power • Why energy costs drive inflation • West Virginia’s billion-dollar rainy-day fund • The role of faith in policymaking • Protecting persecuted Christians globally • Free-market governance and resisting federal overreach   📣 Subscribe & Join the Conversation For bold, straightforward discussions on politics, ideology, and global affairs, hit Subscribe and turn on notifications.
