## Resource

Kevin and Marnie Freeman sit down with analyst Rod Martin to unpack Iran’s revolution legacy, today’s street uprisings, and how coordinated U.S. strategy impacts oil, markets, and China. From Carter-era missteps to modern containment, they connect policy “puzzle pieces” across Panama, Venezuela, Russia, and the Strait of Hormuz. The discussion explores transactional gold and silver as crisis money, state legal tender reforms, and AI-driven productivity shaping America’s next 250 years. A sober look at church, culture, and policy—plus why the future favors freedom if we don’t fumble it.
