France's Heat Wave, Oregon's War on Farming, and the Dark Money Behind It
Teresa shares firsthand accounts of how extreme temperatures are crushing local agriculture and raising serious safety concerns. The conversation also digs into the troubling realities of free-range farming — and why it can actually put animals in greater danger. Back in the U.S., a radical Oregon ballot initiative known as the Peace Act (IP28) threatens to end agriculture, hunting, and fishing in the state entirely — and stick taxpayers with the bill for a "transition fund." Trent and Teresa raise hard questions about who is really funding the push, pointing to suspicious connections between a South Asian women's charity, paid signature collectors reportedly earning $100 per signature, and possible money laundering through donor-advised funds. This is the episode you'll want to share.
