America is at a crossroads—politically, economically, and personally.
Shannon Joy, host of The Shannon Joy Show, joins the Futures Edge with Jim Iuorio and Bobby Iaccino for a raw, thought-provoking conversation that dives into the issues shaping our lives today. From the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns and the rise of government overreach, to the hidden costs of processed foods and the debate over health and nutrition, nothing is off the table.
Shannon shares her candid perspective on Trump’s presidency, the failures of the two-party system, and why she believes local politics matter more than national headlines. The trio also explores the role of gold as a hedge against economic uncertainty, the dangers of political corruption, and the fight for personal freedom in an age of misinformation.
This is not your typical political debate—it’s an unfiltered exchange of ideas that challenges assumptions, sparks critical thinking, and reminds us that finding common ground is more urgent than ever.
