In a time of political polarization, economic uncertainty and cultural upheaval, the question of how to restore America to its foundational principles has never been more urgent. U.S. Rep. Michael Cloud (R-TX) joined Mike Adams during a “Health Ranger Report” interview for a candid discussion on the challenges facing the nation and the path forward.
The conversation began with a reflection on the stark ideological divide in America today. Cloud noted that while previous generations shared a common belief in America’s greatness and inalienable rights, the current political landscape is marked by a fundamental clash of values.
“The Republican Party is aligned with constitutional principles, while the left embraces Marxism, communism, and authoritarianism,” the constitutional conservative said. This divide, he argued, is evident in policies like government price controls on groceries, which he described as “straight out of communism 101.”
Adams and Cloud delved into the economic pressures facing Americans, particularly the rising cost of food and energy. The congressman representing the Lone Star State’s 27th congressional district emphasized the critical role of domestic energy production in addressing these challenges. American energy connects to so many issues – agriculture, transportation and even emerging technologies like artificial intelligence.
“We produce energy cleaner, more efficiently, more effectively and more responsibly than the rest of the world,” he added. Cloud also criticized the Biden administration’s policies that stifle energy production under the guise of “reducing carbon emissions.”
Cloud also highlighted the dangers of overregulation and consolidation in industries like agriculture and banking. He stated that massive consolidation is destroying the family farm and creating a divide between the lower and middle classes. Cloud called for a return to first principles, emphasizing the importance of dispersing power and limiting federal overreach.
A significant portion of the discussion focused on the erosion of constitutional rights and the rise of government overreach. Cloud expressed concern over the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives‘ (ATF) creation of a billion-record gun database, despite federal laws prohibiting a national gun registry.

“This is the kind of bad action happening in agency after agency,” Cloud told Adams, advocating for accountability and transparency in government.
The conversation also touched on the cultural and moral decline in America. Cloud stressed the importance of absolute truth and biblical values in shaping a healthy society. He pointed out that the issues Americans are facing as a nation certainly have a D.C. component, but they are also rooted in a culture that has walked away from truth.
“We have to get back to an understanding as a culture of morality and absolute truth,” the congressman said. He called on Americans to be courageous in defending principles like freedom, faith and family, particularly in the face of policies that harm children and undermine parental rights.
Adams and Cloud also discussed the 2024 presidential election and the growing coalition of support for President Donald Trump, including endorsements from figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard. Cloud praised Trump’s focus on core American values and his ability to unite people across the political spectrum.
As the interview concluded, Cloud reflected on his journey to Congress, describing himself as a “reluctant congressman” who felt called to serve rather than seeking power or personal gain. The Texas congressman’s call for courage, faith and principled leadership serves as a reminder of the enduring values that have made America a beacon of freedom and hope.
