In this powerful episode of Apex Ascend, Rodney LaBruce takes you from the boarded-up grocery stores of South Dallas to the backrooms of Washington—exposing how broken systems aren't failing, they’re working exactly as designed.

Rodney lays out his bold vision for Digital Equity Hubs, Guaranteed Income for veterans, and removing barriers that keep hardworking Americans locked out of opportunity. He tackles the myth of “handouts,” the misuse of criminal background checks, and the constitutional difference between law and justice.

Then, in the final segment, Rodney pulls no punches as he unpacks the truth behind the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill”—a Trojan horse of deregulation, corruption, and self-protection wrapped in patriotic language.

This isn’t just politics. It’s personal. It’s moral. It’s urgent.

In this episode, Rodney LaBruce dives deep into the historical cycles that have defined the Republican Party—from Lincoln to Roosevelt to Eisenhower—and the consequences when those cycles break.

When the GOP focused on the people, America thrived. But when it turned to serve the interests of corporations and the elite, economic collapse and moral decay followed.

Rodney explores the structural contradiction between the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, explains how Abraham Lincoln viewed America’s founding ideals, and unpacks the slaveholder mentality that still haunts our systems today.

From the Great Depression to the Great Recession—and now, Trump’s policies on steroids—this isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a warning.

Listen now to learn how we got here—and what must come next.

🧠 Episode Description:
In this episode of Apex Ascend, Rodney LaBruce dives into the bizarre true story of McArthur Wheeler—the man who robbed banks with lemon juice on his face—and how it inspired one of the most important psychological discoveries of our time: the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

We explore how this cognitive bias explains why the least informed often sound the most confident, how it warps political discourse in the social media age, and why humility is the real path to competence. If you've ever wondered why misinformation spreads so quickly—or if you might unknowingly be part of the problem—this episode is for you.

Rodney ends with a challenge for self-reflection and an invitation to join the Unified Advocacy and Leadership Coalition (UALC), a movement committed to truth, humility, and smarter civic engagement.
