Christmas Eve arrives with a hard question: what happens when a culture calls death “dignity,” shrugs at violence as inevitable, and rewrites mercy into the release of repeat offenders, then asks the church to clean up what ideology broke.

The answer is not despair. Hope does not collapse, and truth does not negotiate.

With humor cutting through the fog and a sharp reminder that laughter can keep a nation from surrendering its spine, the conversation turns to Pastor Ken Todd of Harvest Bible Church and the meaning of freedom that is more than politics.

He lays it out plainly: faith is not a slogan, Scripture is not a buffet, and your walk always speaks louder than your talk.

He tells stories from overseas where families hike for filthy water at sunrise, and why his mission builds wells in Ivory Coast so children can live and churches can serve without charging a dime.

Callers press on fear, neighborly love, and the slow creep of collectivism. The thread holds: darkness does not win by being loud; it wins when people go silent. Light still works. Hope still confronts lies.

Accountability still protects the innocent. God, country, family—be a leader, and be a voice for liberty.

Two days before Christmas, the microphones open and the noise of the season gives way to something heavier.

Peter Vazquez confronts the moment plainly: the Vanbōōlzalness Crisis has trained the country to confuse chaos for compassion, dependency for justice, and faith for danger.

Joined by Terris E. Todd of the Project 21 Black Leadership Network, the conversation cuts through culture, politics, and theology without apology.

Christmas is reclaimed as Christ’s Mass, not a marketing scheme. Faith is not extremism. Family is not outdated. Work is not oppression.

The Constitution is defended line by line. The First Amendment matters because truth must speak freely. The Second matters because criminals ignore laws while citizens are told to stand down.

From historical black gun ownership against the Klan to modern crime fueled by drugs, broken families, and no-consequence governance, the warning is consistent: disarm the innocent and you empower the lawless.

Race-based fear narratives, media clickbait, and ideological attacks are exposed for what they are. Claims that America “enslaves” black and brown citizens collapse under evidence of opportunity unmatched anywhere in the world.

Immigration without assimilation, Islamist ideology hostile to liberty, and attacks on national identity are not accidents. They are strategies.

Callers press the urgency. The answer is roots. No hyphens. Faith, family, freedom, responsibility.

Christmas is Christ’s Mass. Love, peace, courage. Stand firm. Lead well. Project21.org

A praying mantis looks powerful until something else takes control. Peter Vazquez used that image to name the moment we are living in: the Vanbōōlzalness Crisis, where words replace truth and optics excuse failure.

Joined by Craig Bannister, managing editor of CNS News at MRC, the conversation cut through media narratives that claim “families are being hunted” while violent offenders are released and accountability disappears. From immigration enforcement and the fentanyl crisis to the emotional laundering of race, poverty, and public safety, the pattern is the same: ideology over reality.

The discussion turned practical and urgent. Support the Second Amendment. Support civic institutions like the Hamburg Firearms, Ammo, and Knife Show. Rising food prices, eroding rights, and a compliant media are not coincidences.

The message is direct: recognize the Vanbōōlzalness Crisis, reject manipulation, and choose your next step.
