Joel Salatin — the self-described "Christian libertarian environmentalist capitalist lunatic farmer" — joins James Poulos on "Zero Hour" to expose how America's farming system went off the rails. Salatin shares the story of revitalizing his Virginia farm by embracing natural systems, local markets, and regenerative agriculture, instead of government subsidies and chemical dependence. They discuss the roots of America's health crisis, why our food supply chains are dangerously fragile, and why restoring food freedom through neighbor-to-neighbor transactions could save our nation. Salatin lays out his "Food Emancipation Proclamation," warns against top-down government fixes, and explains why the future of America depends on rebuilding local, decentralized food economies. From RFK Jr.'s "Make America Healthy Again" movement to Trump's potential role in freeing the food system, this is a powerful conversation about food, freedom, faith, and America's future.
