In this episode, we wander cheerfully from missed dates and misplaced years into Venezuela, oil, China’s long game, and why shouting slogans is not the same thing as understanding history. We detour through California’s latest attempt to fix humanity by statute, ask whether public health works better with consent than compulsion, and then take a sharp turn into scripture, wisdom, and why King Solomon might not have been the relationship role model people think.

And finally, we confront the modern truth. In the digital age, speech is free, but broadcasting requires permission. All we need is 100 followers. That is it. History has survived worse odds.
