Radio Ranch with Roger Sayles LIVE 010526 ,. Venezuela, Social IDs, and Silver Shocks: Opening the Books on 2026

Kicking off our first regular show of the year on January 5, 2026, we took calls and dug into a weekend of breaking claims and counterclaims around Venezuela, plus the wider chessboard: China’s stakes, oil infrastructure, sanctions, and what a regime change could mean across South America. We also touched on reports and skepticism around Iran, Ukraine, and the CIA’s role in color revolutions, along with the idea that social media ID regimes may be coming—and what that means for speech and control. From there we pivoted back to our core mission at Radio Ranch: understanding political status and personal responsibility. We contrasted “national” status with “U.S. citizen,” fielded practical questions on paperwork and living outside the administrative state, and talked markets—silver, gold, and even copper—as callers shared insights on COMEX stress and supply deals.
