Episode 6 America once led the world in industry, innovation, and self-reliance, building everything from steel to semiconductors. But decades of poor leadership, misguided trade deals, overregulation, and energy restrictions have hollowed out domestic manufacturing, outsourcing jobs and critical supply chains to foreign nations—especially China. The result: economic decline, national vulnerability, and broken communities. Reviving American strength requires bold action—reshoring manufacturing, investing in science and skilled trades, enforcing fair trade, and achieving energy independence. True global leadership must come from strength at home, not endless foreign interventions. America must stop consuming and start building again—or risk becoming a second-rate power.
