The Third Party Candidate Taking On Big Money in Nebraska | Rick Beard | ZFS 71

Send us Fan MailI sat down with Rick Beard, the third party candidate running for governor of Nebraska, and this conversation opened my eyes to something happening in the middle of America that nobody is covering.Nebraska voters passed cannabis legalization with 71% of the vote. Their own legislature came in and dismantled it. That is not a coincidence. That is lobbying money doing exactly what it was paid to do. Rick is running on the Legal Marijuana Now party ticket with zero PAC money, zero foreign lobbyist dollars, and a platform that nobody else in the race is willing to touch.We talked about using hemp to build homes at $150 a square foot versus the $200 to $250 it costs today. We talked about the constitutional ballot amendment strategy that would put power back in the hands of the people and out of the hands of the legislature. We talked about Big Pharma, Big Cannabis from other states blocking new markets, data center moratoriums, property taxes higher than California on a state with 2 million people, and what it actually looks like to run a people's campaign against a machine that has infinite money.Rick is polling at 12% as an independent. That is the highest any third party gubernatorial candidate in Nebraska has polled since 1905. Pay attention to this one.Support the show
