About this episode

Dave Jackson expresses his frustration and confusion about the current state of America, highlighting violence and media influence on societal division.

I just don't recognize my country. I got to see someone shot in the neck and die today. Then people cheered because they didn't like his opinions. It just seems so weird. Meawhile the mainstram media fans the flames of the divided states of America, and nobody knows how to have a dialogue anymore. All we do is shoot each other, and the bad news is I don't know how to fix it, and I don't trust the people in power. So welcome to my rant as I scream into the void.
