Colonel Douglas MacGregor joins Jay to unpack Greenland and Venezuela, rare earths, silver, and copper. This conversation traces how minerals are now shaping geopolitics, national security, and internal stability inside the United States itself. MacGregor challenges imperial thinking, questions Washington’s lack of long-term strategy, and warns that America’s greatest risk may no longer be abroad, but at home.
