What’s happening in America right now? Rising violence, political polarization, and deep cultural divides have many asking: What the hell is going on here?

In this video, we look at today’s events from high-profile assassinations and social unrest to battles between cities and the federal government  and place them in the context of America’s history. 

Could we be in the midst of the fifth major regime change in U.S. history?We’ll trace the cycles that reshaped our nation:

The Founding (1776–1800)
The Civil War (1860s)
The Great Depression (1930s)
The 1960s cultural revolution

And today’s struggle, driven by anger, fear, and division. 

By looking at the past, we can better understand the present — and see how America has always risen to overcome even its darkest moments. 

If you’ve been asking:Why does America feel more divided than ever?Are today’s struggles worse than the 1960s?

How can we find hope and direction in times of chaos?This episode offers perspective, context, and cautious optimism.
