Families gather, meals are shared, and yet the deeper question remains: What holds a nation together when gratitude fades and complacency takes root?   On this episode, the conversation turns from Thanksgiving warmth to the cold realities facing America. Retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Bernie Flowers returns to confront the cultural, political, and spiritual fractures that have left communities vulnerable to manipulation, dependency, and division.   From Malcolm X’s warning about political exploitation to the collapse of the nuclear family, Flowers challenges listeners to see how victimhood has replaced responsibility, and how elites have profited from chaos while everyday Americans bear the cost.   Callers press the hard questions: where is black leadership, why are communities hollowed out by policy failures, and how did government incentives dismantle the very families once defined by strength and faith?   Flowers argues that national security begins in the home, that spiritual clarity demands courage, and that freedom requires energy independence, educational reform, and term limits that restore accountability.   At every turn, we call citizens back to the fundamentals: God, country, and family.   The crisis is real, but so is the path forward for those willing to shoulder the duty of rebuilding what complacency has eroded.   The message is simple: lead in your home, stand firm in truth, and refuse to become a victim of the Vanbōōlzalness Crisis.
