France, Free Speech, and the Fight for Fair Food
First, Trent and Teresa discuss the tragic death of a young French Catholic activist who was attacked while standing up for women’s rights and pro-life views. Teresa explains why the media labels around the case don’t match the facts and how France’s local, paper-based voting system works, offering a sharp contrast to the chaos many people see elsewhere.
The conversation then shifts to the food supply and the growing problem of consolidation in the meatpacking industry. Trent and Teresa react to an undercover investigation tied to CattleCon and James O’Keefe that raises serious antitrust concerns. They dig into the history of food monopolies, the power of big processors, and why local slaughterhouses and butchers could help restore fairness—while also being honest about how hard it is to scale that fix today. From free speech to fair markets, this episode connects the dots between politics, food, and everyday life in a way you won’t want to miss.
