Rural Route March 24, 2026 Jay Truitt and what is all of the livestock culling for in Russia?

RURAL STRENGTH AND NATIONAL STAKES: FIRES, FUNDING, AND ELECTION INTEGRITY In this powerful episode of Rural Route, Trent Loos is joined by Jay Truitt from Texas for a hard-hitting conversation on the strength of rural America and the real challenges facing it today. The discussion opens with a standout example of rural generosity, as Trent shares how a Colorado community came together to raise over $1 million for local charities. Jay makes it clear—while cities may have more money, rural communities bring unmatched participation, sacrifice, and boots-on-the-ground leadership that keeps America strong.
