On today’s Friday edition of Radio Ranch, I sat down with co-host Brent Winters for a wide-ranging conversation that began with the precious metals surge and turned into a masterclass on mining, markets, and money. We reflected on silver’s spike, gold’s momentum, industrial demand drivers like AI and defense, and why copper may be the next big play. Brent drew on his years in geology and law to explain placer vs. lode gold, specific gravity, black sands, and legendary Western mines—from Arizona’s Vulture Mine to California’s Empire Mine—plus a memorable encounter with Barry Goldwater and the story behind Ironstone’s crystalline nugget. From there, we shifted to law and citizenship, unpacking “resident” vs. domicile, Fourteenth Amendment jurisdiction, and the landmark U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark case. Brent outlined his work at commonlawyer.com, including classes on the common law, biblical foundations, and “Stanberry’s Catechism” on the Constitution. We closed by pointing listeners to our live call-in setup and platforms so you can join the discussion next time.'Global Voice Radio Network': https://globalvoiceradio.net'The Matrix Docs (show site and live-call links)': https://thematrixdocs.com'Radio Soapbox (Paul English)': https://radiosoapbox.com'Euro Folk Radio': https://eurofolkradio.com'FreeConferenceCall (live show dial-in platform)': https://www.freeconferencecall.com'Common Lawyer (Brent Allan Winters)': https://commonlawyer.com'JM Bullion (retail bullion reference mentioned)': https://www.jmbullion.com'Vulture Mine Tours (Wickenburg, AZ)': https://vultureminetours.com'Empire Mine State Historic Park (Grass Valley, CA)': https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=499'Dahlonega Gold Museum (GA)': https://gastateparks.org/DahlonegaGoldMuseum'Ironstone Vineyards (home of the 44-lb crystalline gold specimen)': https://ironstonevineyards.com'Patriots’ Soapbox (broadcast noted by Brent)': https://patriotssoapbox.com'United States v.
