Episode Ten: America First—Why We Must Stop Prioritizing the World Over Our Own Citizens

Episode 10 contends that America’s leaders have neglected domestic needs by funneling billions into foreign aid, military interventions, and international programs. This focus on global responsibilities leaves pressing problems at home unaddressed—crumbling infrastructure, homelessness, and underfunded schools. The author questions why the U.S. sends resources to countries that don’t align with American values while veterans remain homeless and middle-class families struggle. He calls for a reorientation toward “America First,” urging investment in local communities, job creation, and critical services. By strengthening its own foundation, the nation can restore unity, economic resilience, and global respect rooted in genuine domestic strength.
