Digital Social Hour

What happens when billions are spent fighting homelessness, but the crisis keeps getting worse?

In this episode of Digital Social Hour, Sean Kelly sits down with independent journalists Jonathan Choe and Kevin Dahlgren to discuss what they witnessed inside the homeless tunnels beneath Las Vegas and why they believe America’s current approach to homelessness is failing.

They break down the dangers inside the tunnels, widespread drug use and mental illness, why some people refuse housing or treatment, and how fentanyl has changed the crisis. They also challenge Housing First, question where billions in homelessness funding are going, and explain why they believe treatment, recovery, accountability, and measurable results need to come first.

The conversation also covers Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, San Francisco, independent journalism, censorship, AI-generated media, and why boots-on-the-ground reporting matters more than ever.

Watch until the end to hear what Jonathan and Kevin say people should look for before supporting a homelessness nonprofit.

Las Vegas is growing, getting richer, and attracting massive investments. So why are so many locals feeling like the city is getting worse?

In this Digital Social Hour episode, Sean Kelly sits down with Manny Kess, Las Vegas entrepreneur and political candidate, to discuss why he decided to enter politics, what he believes is going wrong in Clark County, and why local elections matter more than most people realize.

Manny explains how the COVID shutdowns pushed him toward politics after watching businesses lose their ability to operate overnight. From there, he breaks down Vegas' rising cost of living, expensive hotels and nightlife, F1 traffic, major stadium projects, gas taxes, crime, homelessness, public schools, and why he believes the city needs to diversify beyond gaming and hospitality.

They also debate the growth of AI data centers and their impact on Nevada's water and electricity, whether massive corporate tax incentives actually create enough jobs, and why residents should demand a clear return whenever public resources are used to attract private businesses.

What if your fears, money problems, relationship patterns, and even physical pain aren’t really “you” at all but inherited patterns shaping your reality?

In this Digital Social Hour episode, Sean Kelly sits down with Paget Kagy to discuss generational trauma, manifestation, energy patterns, money, relationships, shame, AI, consciousness, simulation theory, spirituality, and the future of humanity.

Paget explains why she believes many of the fears and limitations people experience may come from generational patterns, past lives, subconscious conditioning, and energetic imprints. She shares how she went from struggling to make more than $2,000 a month for years to making her first million within 18 months after what she describes as clearing inherited beliefs around money, sacrifice, and abundance.

The conversation also covers her claim of seeing dark energetic entities attached to people, why toxic relationships can feel magnetic, the connection she sees between physical pain and emotional patterns, how shame may block people from making more money, why billionaires may experience money completely differently, her past support for Andrew Yang, distrust of political systems, AI replacing meaningless work, and her prediction that humanity could eventually split between a highly controlled technological world and a more spiritually awakened way of living. She also explains why she believes reality may function like a simulation, with each person acting as an individual expression of a larger consciousness.

What happens when a man survives homelessness, jail, violence, and a spiritual breakdown. Then rebuilds his life around discipline, family, and nervous system regulation?

In this Digital Social Hour episode, Sean Kelly sits down with Devin Linder, aka The Internet Therapist, to discuss nervous system regulation, masculinity, fatherhood, homelessness, military life, spirituality, relationships, and rebuilding your identity after hitting rock bottom.

Devin explains why he believes many men are stuck in survival mode without realizing it. He shares how his own nervous system became conditioned to chaos and scarcity through evictions, losing cars, homelessness, jail, and years of constantly reacting to life instead of checking in with himself. He also explains why becoming a better provider meant learning that money alone wasn’t enough. Presence, emotional stability, and connection with his wife and children mattered too.

The conversation also covers raising seven children with one woman, homeschooling, why men should help around the house, growing up around violence in Chicago, his four years in the Air Force, losing his identity after leaving the military, and nearly losing his family after going deep into New Age spirituality. Devin also breaks down breathwork, meditation, gratitude as an action, faith, self-mastery, loyalty, why he refuses to work with cheaters, and the principles he now uses to stay grounded instead of reactive.

Is the West becoming more dangerous for Jews while Israel is winning militarily but losing the information war?

In this Digital Social Hour episode, Sean Kelly sits down with Joseph Cohen of the Israel Advocacy Movement to discuss antisemitism in the UK, Zionism, Israel, Gaza, Hamas, censorship, radicalization, social media, and the information war surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Joseph explains why he ultimately left the UK for Israel after years of Jewish activism and what he describes as increasing antisemitic threats and violence. He shares stories of being attacked, having knives pulled on him, and witnessing incidents that convinced him British authorities were failing to protect Jewish communities. He also explains why he believes open dialogue is more effective than censorship when trying to deradicalize extremists.

The conversation also covers his definition of Zionism, his rejection of the “stolen land” narrative, why he no longer believes in a two-state solution, his arguments against accusations of genocide, the distinction he draws between Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, debates with extremists and political commentators, and why he believes Israel’s greatest weakness is not military power but the global information war. Joseph also discusses the generational shift in attitudes toward Israel and why he thinks social media has dramatically changed how younger audiences view Jews, Zionism, and the conflict.
