This week made one thing painfully clear: America is under strain from every direction at once.

Add to that the looming release of Epstein-related files, and long-simmering questions about power, accountability, and transparency are back at the forefront. In this episode, we break down how these crises are connected—and why this moment may mark a turning point for the country.
