## Resource

| DSH #2031 Is America still working for ordinary people, or only for those already at the top? In this Digital Social Hour episode, Sean Kelly sits down with Mason from OneHand Politics to discuss Donald Trump, Iran, Israel, endless wars, affordability, immigration, capitalism, AI, housing, billionaires, and the future of American politics. Mason explains why he believes Trump’s foreign policy is moving away from “America First,” why military intervention can create long-term instability, and why some conservative voices are beginning to break from the MAGA movement. The conversation also covers Gavin Newsom, the Democratic Party, the 2028 election, immigration reform, DEI, affirmative action, Mason’s debates with Charlie Kirk and Patrick Bet-David, and why younger voters are increasingly frustrated with both political parties. Later, Mason argues that capitalism is failing to deliver affordable housing, healthcare, education, and economic security for millions of Americans. He also discusses AI-driven job loss, universal basic income, wealth inequality, billionaire influence, Tucker Carlson, and whether America is becoming an oligarchy.
