Episode Summary
In Part 3 of the series Is America Dying?, Tom Sears tackles another warning sign of national decline: the death of civic virtue.From the Revolution to World War II, Americans built their nation on sacrifice, honesty, service, and responsibility. But today, civic virtue is in retreat. Trust in institutions has collapsed, patriotism is at record lows, civic knowledge is declining, and entitlement is on the rise.What You’ll Hear in This Episode
  • A timeline of civic virtue from the Founding through Vietnam and Watergate to today.
  • Why patriotism and trust have eroded over the past 50 years.
  • The danger of “bread and circuses” in modern America.
  • How distraction, entitlement, and debt threaten freedom.
  • Why civic virtue must be rebuilt in homes, churches, and communities.
Tom also shares a heartfelt tribute to Charlie Kirk.
