America stands at a crossroads. Rising taxes, unchecked corporate influence, and a government that too often feels like a master instead of a servant have pushed us into dangerous territory. History warns us what happens when the people fall silent: from the Whiskey Rebellion to McCarthyism to the Gilded Age, tyranny fills the vacuum left by a divided and distracted public.

In this episode, we confront the echoes of the past that shape our present—how big money dominates politics, how mental health remains an ignored national crisis, and how Americans have been driven to view each other as enemies instead of neighbors. The question is simple but urgent: do we still control our government, or has it learned to control us?

Join me as we unpack the lessons history is shouting at us, and ask what it will take to reclaim the unity and voice that once made this the United States of America. This is just the beginning, follow for new episodes and future discussions.
