6/17/2026 Shows ↗ (Jump To Original Content)
The two dig into why gold has held its value for centuries, trace the surprising history of currency back to barley and cattle, and debate who really controls global wealth today. JC shares wildlife management numbers from his farm, including dozens of foxes removed by trapping, and the two talk about turning fur pelts into a real business opportunity. The conversation also covers water shortages overseas, fears about the fragile U.S. power grid, recent earthquake and volcano activity, and a look back at historic June events like the Magna Carta and the Battle of Waterloo. It's a packed episode mixing rural life, history, and hard questions about what's really driving world events.
