On this episode of Culture Crossroads, host Andrew Southwick sits down with farmer, author, and self-proclaimed "Lunatic Farmer" Joel Salatin to unpack President Trump's plan to lower skyrocketing beef prices. Salatin breaks down what's really driving beef costs, from tight cattle supply to heavy regulation, and warns that government intervention could backfire on ranchers instead of helping them. He also explains what it would actually take to make beef more affordable without sacrificing the producers who raise it. Then, in the Rundown, Culture Crossroads covers the Iran war's impact on energy markets, rising oil prices, grocery price collusion claims, and the fast growth of AI data centers nationwide.
