The Fractured State of America | The JAAM Episode 39

Twenty thousand Epstein emails dropped and exposed exactly how deep the rot goes. Pharrell got onstage acting “above politics” while repeating billionaire talking points. Rory’s resurfaced tweets reminded everyone why gatekeeping the culture isn’t optional. And while the internet debates vibes, Chicago is dealing with the fallout in real time.

A woman and her kids were attacked on the South Side. The budget designed to address the root causes was shot down by the same people claiming they care about safety. Corporations get tax breaks. Schools get scraps. CTA gets dust. And somehow we’re told the city is “broke” while the wealthy keep winning.

Different stories, same disease. We break down how the system protects power, blames the victims, and leaves regular people paying the price.
