In this unfiltered, high-level conversation, DeVory Darkins sits down to break down the real forces shaping America today — from military service and endless wars to political corruption, media narratives, and the silent influence of algorithms on an entire generation.

DeVory shares how leaving his comfort zone at a young age, serving in the military, and witnessing fraud, waste, and abuse firsthand completely reshaped the way he views power, politics, and responsibility. He explains why national elections often distract from where real change actually happens, and why local politics, school boards, and city councils have more impact on everyday life than most people realize.
