Plus the AI data center revolt, the effect Charlie Kirk's assassination had on shattering the conservative movement, and more.

Episode 4 of Restoration Spotlight: Season 2, featuring Hayden Ludwig, Grace Reilly, John Pearman, and Dan Curry  

A new CAIR report counts 255 elected Muslim officials across the United States, and a former Islamist extremist says he would "only vote left." So we ask the big question: are Muslims taking over America? Hosts Hayden Ludwig, Dan Curry, John Pearman, and Grace Reilly also ask: Did Charlie Kirk's assassination shatter the coalition that won in 2024? Why are the left's calls for violence getting louder after their midterm wins? And why did Trump counties with new data centers swing toward Democrats? 

The bottom line: Conservatives need a better answer before 2028.
