In this episode, Amy sits down with Kentucky soybean farmer Jim Wade to talk about how the ongoing trade war with China is hitting America's heartland. From skyrocketing equipment costs to disappearing export markets, Jim shares how chaotic tariff policies and political dysfunction are threatening the survival of small family farms. We also dive into the ripple effects on healthcare, immigrant labor, and Kentucky's broader economy — from soybeans to bourbon. About Truth in the Barrel: Amy and Denver are both military veterans, political junkies, and whiskey lovers who sit on opposite sides of the aisle but have one thing in common: they love the United States of America.

This Week Unfiltered | 10.23.25
Congress has been on recess for two full months this year —meanwhile still pulling in their salaries while half the country can't pay their bills, and members of our own military are waiting in line at food banks due to the shutdown. And while that's happening, Trump is waving Article Two like a magic wand — saying it gives him power to do whatever he wants. We've got Immigration agents arresting American citizens in ICE raids, and the East Wing of the White House is being torn apart to make room for a $200 million ballroom.
