Zach Lahn – Exposing the Monsanto Files | SRS #290
Zach Lahn is a first-time political candidate running in the 2026 Republican primary for Governor of Iowa. Never having held elected office, he launched his campaign from his family farm, positioning himself as a self-funded outsider independent of party leadership and corporate donors. His candidacy is rooted in a belief that Iowa needs leadership grounded in rural life rather than professional politics.
Lahn’s platform is socially conservative and economically populist, with a strong focus on agriculture and land ownership. He opposes foreign and corporate control of Iowa farmland and advocates for family farms over large agribusiness monopolies. Economically, he is critical of corporate consolidation and globalism, supporting antitrust action and policies that favor small businesses.
On social issues, Lahn is anti-abortion, opposes gender-affirming medical procedures for minors, and emphasizes traditional family structures and parental control in education. He also runs on a tough-on-crime platform, with a focus on fentanyl trafficking and strong support for law enforcement.

Really enjoy your podcasts! Please consider having Joel Salatin as a guest. He owns Polyface Farms in Swoope, Virginia and is a wealth of information. He’s a great guy and I think you would have a good time together.
Ask him about all the hunting land we are losing
This could also be part of the agenda where they want all the big corporations to start coming in to work the land with autonomous equipment and they won’t stop the cancer rates because it’ll get everybody to move out so they can move in.
I live in Keokuk Iowa. The des moines and Mississippi River meet here. Knowing this explains why the rashes and headaches are common here
thank you for this interview . always been interested in this. i live in indiana , another rural farming state. thank you, keep it up
Shawn is pulling a psyop. Our whole system and crops have been modified to use round-up. Our country cant sustain anything if we abandon all of the crops we have. Taking steps to move away from those will take decades and you can’t do that to all the farmers overnight. So you can sit and complain and act lile Trump and rfk isnt following what they said but you have to make steps to go another direction this ship cant just stop on a dime and do a 180. It takes a while to make the changes Trump and rfk wamt but you know who doesnt want that change democrats in their current form. So your only option is a rino that would be considered a 90’s democrat.
Davenport, Iowa here. This is the truth. And our economy is going downhill. Farmers are genuine, hard-working people. As soon as the government took over, they ruined everything we stood for!
Nick Fuentes and his 200k followers have nothing to do with voting. This dude isn’t worth it. blaming nick is virtue signaling.
MFGA, Trump is daddy now
Another politician pretending to be a down home farm boy 🥱🙄
Friends, in the United States there are three social classes: the elite, the vigilante class, and the working class. The vigilante class is made up of members of the working class. They are secret agents who pose as ordinary people. They are found in all commercial establishments, businesses, and workplaces. In places frequented by the elderly, they also appear as elderly people. And in schools, they are among the students, sometimes two or three years older than the other students and with histories of having failed a grade or two. They are the children of other agents. Their job is to infiltrate other people—other students, other elderly people—to learn things through false friendships, and to wage psychological warfare against others. This psychological warfare is called “gang stalking.” Research this topic further online. There are many YouTube channels and websites that discuss the topic of “gang stalking,” which exposes this group of vigilantes who may be your friends or even secretly part of your family. This is the United States.
I live in West Des Moines Iowa. You got my Vote sir. Please don’t let us down 🤝🏻
Shawn STFUP ! Trust Trump the swamp evil woke politician is deep !
WEF and everyone on board is gonna burn in hell
Better vote this guy in Hawkeyes/cyclones!!!
You should interview Mike Adam’s.The Health Ranger
Monsanto, you mean Monsatan
Another guy pretending to care about Epstein while pretending Trump isn’t in the files! 😂 “why are young people checking out?” Because YOU!!! 😂😂😂
Billionaires are cranking down on us, time to break their bones
I love how he got the opportunity to buy the family farm back, thats amazing I really really love that
Shawn Ryan needs to be in office.
How can we be sure this isn’t another psyop. He’s saying the right things but he’s still a politician. We’ve been burned over and over and people are still thinking their vote EVER mattered? After everything we’ve been through? We don’t need politicians. They are obviously the enemy.
I also believe that the federal government is beyond repair. The republic has failed. It’s time to dissolve the union and let the 50 states stand on its own. Iowa would flourish. The Socialist Republic of California will suffer. As a Texan, I worry about Texas because many of our politicians have already been bought by special interests.
DO NOT WATCH, WASTE OF TIME, JUST ANOTHER POLITICIAN SPEWING BULLSHIT. SHAWN RYAN, You NEED TO DO BETTER
I am a full believer in regenerative grazing like the Carbon Cowboys promote.
Yeshua is the only way the Truth and the life. Repent and live for him ❤
Sean, you had a guy on here not too long ago that was talking about how the world forum or economics or whatever is trying to usher in a famine. I believe they’re doing that while poisoning everyone with these chemicals with. Micro plastics and God knows what else.
I also believe that our federal government is done it is corrupt to the core. There’s not one good person in any of DC’s in the house in the Senate nowhere I voted for Trump three times and I am so disappointed that we are now in a war that has nothing to do with America. I’m so sick of Israel and other countries coming over here taking our money taking our land while our government walks around like there’s not a damn thing wrong.
There’s going to be a civil war in this country and it is coming soon. People are so tired of all the shit that is going on with our government that United States unlike other countries, we have arms and we are willing to use them.
This is Definitely uneven playing field. Most Americans are fighting a fight with both of their hands tied behind their back being lied to in every way shape or form. I just don’t know what it’s gonna take. Are we gonna have to split off into states and arrest any federal person IRS whatever and throw them in jail if they come in our state in order to protect ourselves sounds to me like we need to grow our own food and raise our own cattle and chickens because nothing that we eat today is not poisonous
I don’t believe one thing will change in DC in the Senate in the house in any state government no one‘s gonna be held accountable. Nobody’s going to jail nobody’s going to prison and just like with Charlie Kirk. They’ll kill you if you cross them if they get the opportunity to kill you, that is.
Thank you, Sean for what you were doing. You be safe and all your guests need to be safe as well. They would love nothing more than the silence all of us. I trust your podcast more than any other podcast on YouTube. I watch everything you put out and I thank you God bless you and your team. Please be safe. I’m praying for you.❤
This was a really interesting conversation and I hope this guy wins the election for the sake of Iowa and all of us who benefit from American farmers.
No wonder why we are all sick! Process foods, chemicals & chem trails! I do believe Trump & RFK is changing all of this: to undue decades of poisoning, it will take time! Shawn, there is a lot that they are doing behind close doors…. Tons! In the meantime God is my refuge & strength! Btw… I’m an Iowan! As far as cancer goes… take ivermectin 😮
Seen them go after the family farms and creating the corporate farms since Ronald Reagan. Trying to understand why Iowa’s continuing to vote against their own interest baffles me. Today, Iowa is a deep red state I really don’t see them turning. I voted for the person not the party at one time. After Trump, the Epstein files, executions on the streets, wars, illegal stock trading, and many more crimes, and the Republicans supporting him, I would have a hard time voting for Republicans. Democrats are at leaser lesser of the evil.
They just want to kill us
Trump is a full blown textbook narccist. I promise the only person that Trump cares about is himself. Full stop.
Shadow banned wonder why
lol where is Joe Kent episode?
Finally a real Farmer said it,I can’t be the only one who has noticed how politicians are always speaking for the Farmer
Defense is the new normal instead of offense! In politics, “defense doesn’t win championships!” I’m a stage 4 cancer survivor and you can’t play “defense” in not to win! Win the basics
Fish DNA
Iowa gang, where ya at?
Incredible conversation! Thank you so much. ❤
Sean, I think the American people are totally with you and Zach. The gov’t is hopeless cause in DC. But the average American is living paycheck to paycheck and we dont feel like there is anything we can do about it. You’re right, voting ain’t working so what do we do?
Glyphosate isn’t hard to bioremediate. I’ve been making bioremediation products for 35 years. The original Petro-Clean and alabaster corp.
Mitt Romney: “Corporations are people.”
Romney left out that they’re “people” until they kill people—then they’re corporations, not people, and corporations don’t go to jail for killing people.
Where is my 12 hour video?
EVERY Shawn Ryan episode is now some fear mongering clickbait BS… pathetic what you’ve become Shawn.
The only thing more terrifying than data centers and nuclear weapons are data centers being built on past farmland now owned by the Chinese, go check out how much land China has purchased in the U.S, also large houses owned by China are being busted full of Chinese children, they are not selling these children, the security camera’s in the home show military training, the children have lots of bruises, from being corrected during training
Man! When are we going to wake up to the fact that our freedom is disappearing! When are we going to stop being entertained and distracted? When are we going to wake up and focus on what matters? I am starting to see the younger generation ask “why?”! They see what we are doing and it makes no sense to them that we work our life away and have nothing!
A product called “recharge” a soil bacteria root inoculant has shown promising signs of lowering levels of round ups, active ingredient glyphosate.
These were all home studies done with basic chemistry, equipment, lab grade facilities should be looking into this stuff!
His story is identical to our family farm in Illinois and how it came about
He should try to get Edison motors on this show
As Jesse Ventura says
It should be illegal to make more than a Billion dollars in a year
