Welcome to The Deron Harris Podcast. This week, Deron is trying something new by standing up while recording, as his camper studio was cluttered with items in preparation for his departure from Florida. Deron humorously described the chaos around him, mentioning dirty dishes and the need to clean up after his dog.

He then shifted the conversation to a serious topic, discussing a perceived movement in the country aimed at dividing races. Deron believed that government officials were primarily responsible for this division, suggesting that if left to their own devices, communities would naturally build connections. He criticized various entities, including media outlets and social media platforms, for stoking division among people.

Deron expressed his disdain for billionaires, claiming they cared more about their products than the well-being of individuals. He lamented how society often gives a pass to those who do not deserve it, pointing out the rise of movements that promote division, such as white supremacy. He argued that many people were distracted by trivial matters, like TikTok dances, instead of addressing serious societal issues.

He emphasized the detachment that television creates, making it difficult for people to connect with the realities of the world. Deron shared his concern about the state of mental health in society, noting that many individuals were desensitized to the problems around them. He reflected on the unity experienced after 9/11, contrasting it with the current divisiveness in America.

After a break, Deron continued to critique both political parties, asserting that neither the Democrats nor Republicans were morally superior. He expressed frustration with politicians who seemed more interested in maintaining power than serving the public. Deron called for accountability from elected officials, emphasizing that they should be working for the people, not against them.

He pointed out the absurdity of paying taxes for politicians' luxuries while basic infrastructure needs went unmet. Deron lamented the lack of attention span among Americans, suggesting that people were too comfortable and distracted by trivialities to address significant issues.

As he wrapped up the episode, Deron reiterated that the problems in America were largely self-inflicted. He urged listeners to recognize their power and voice, emphasizing the importance of diversity in government and healthcare. He concluded by expressing his desire for America to improve and heal, thanking his wife, parents, producer Jesse Yander, and listeners for their support. Deron looked forward to his upcoming journey across the country, hoping to connect with more Americans and contribute to positive change.
