Mark Koernke and co-hosts discussed American identity, national heritage, and foundational values on February 10, 2017. The show explored symbolism of flags (American and South Korean) as representations of the struggle between perfection and human imperfection, and connected this to themes of self-defense and freedom. A caller from Texas (George) shared detailed accounts of the 1980 Mariel Boatlift, describing how Cuban detainees were housed at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, and how leftist administrators accommodated their demands for name-brand clothing and goods while military personnel were unable to enforce discipline. The hosts discussed moral decay in American society, dependency culture versus self-sufficiency, immigration vetting failures, and the intentional erosion of constitutional foundations by enemies of the nation.
