Beef Tallow, Big Government, and the Price of Cheap Steaks

In this witty and thought-provoking episode of People, Politics and Pork, Greg Webb and Newell Clark kick things off with a laugh, swapping stories about the wonders — and perils — of beef tallow. From DIY skin balms to accidental Amazon subscriptions, they explore the quirks of modern consumer culture in true Triple P fashion.

But as the conversation shifts, the hosts dive into deeper waters: the erosion of constitutional checks and balances and the dangers of presidential overreach. They raise sharp questions about Supreme Court decisions that may weaken protections against executive power, unpacking how these shifts could disrupt everything from immigration enforcement to corporate planning.

Newell and Greg highlight the very real consequences of chaotic, unrestrained policy swings — from rural hospital closures to threatened public services — while also warning about the temptation to trade long-term community stability for short-term economic bargains.

Greg caps the conversation with a powerful personal story about Walmart, his father’s wisdom, and the hard choices communities face between values and convenience. The message is clear: in a world of “good steaks, cheap,” we need to stay mindful of what we might be giving up.

If you enjoy candid, unscripted conversation that blends humor, civic insight, and Southern storytelling, this episode is for you.
