Why is the American dream of a "starter home" disappearing, and why is healthcare debt crushing the federal budget? In the conclusion of our interview with Denny LaVé, Barrett explores the economic and systemic challenges facing Idaho and the nation.

Denny breaks down the crisis in rural healthcare clinics, proposing community-focused innovations to bypass a system he argues is designed for profit over people. We also tackle the complex issue of federal land ownership and how it impacts local community development and affordability. From the impact of gerrymandering on political representation to the philosophical influence of Rerum Novarum, this episode is a deep dive into what honest, courageous leadership looks like in a polarized era.
