Standing Tall in the Fire: Defying the Vanbōōlzalness Crisis

Under the hot lights in Butler, Pennsylvania, a man stood where most would have ducked. The shots came. Panic surged. Matt Coday, President and Founder of the Oil & Gas Workers Association, did what real men do — he moved toward the danger. Not because it was easy, but because political violence has no place in a civilized nation. “We are at war for the soul of this nation,” he told us, and every word carried the weight of truth.

This episode of The Next Steps Show is not a chat — it is a confrontation with reality. It is about work that restores dignity, energy that fuels freedom, and a people who refuse to be ruled by fear or fooled by the manufactured chaos of modern politics. While bureaucrats sell fantasy and call it progress, Americans are staring at power bills that rival car payments and politicians who talk “equity” while destroying opportunity.

Matt Coday reminded us that energy security is national security — that real jobs, in real industries, build the foundation for strong families and sovereign communities. We pulled no punches on lawfare, propaganda, and the rot of hypocrisy coming from those who weaponize justice to protect their own power.

And yes — we called out the heart of it: the Vanbōōlzalness Crisis. That engineered confusion, that spiritual and cultural sickness, keeping Americans trapped in a fog of deceit while elites preach compassion and deliver control. It is not just politics. It is the battle for truth itself.

This episode is not for the faint of heart. It is for those who still believe in God, family, and country — who know that silence is complicity and comfort is the enemy of freedom.

Listen. Feel it. Decide what side you are on. Because if you are tired of being managed, taxed, silenced, and shamed, then it is time to stand. Take the next step with us — and fight back against the Vanbōōlzalness Crisis.
