Americans are angry, exhausted, and divided — but not for the reasons we’re told.

In this episode, Joseph Steagall sits down with Rocky Haag, a politically agnostic thinker, to explore why people feel unseen, why institutions are losing trust, and how AI, endless wars, and economic pressure are reshaping society.

This is not a Left vs Right conversation.
 It’s a systems-level discussion about power, dignity, and the future.
