Dr. Ben Carson discusses the importance of America's founding story and the impact of disconnection from history with guest John Schneider.

What happens when a country forgets its own history? In this powerful episode of Common Sense with Dr. Ben Carson, Dr. Carson sits down with actor and entertainer John Schneider to discuss why America’s founding story matters now more than ever — and why so many young people are growing up disconnected from the sacrifices that built this nation.

Dr. Carson and Schneider discuss: Why America’s history is disappearing from classrooms The danger of raising a generation disconnected from sacrifice Why storytelling shapes culture How patriotism became controversial The spiritual foundations of America The importance of family-friendly entertainment Why freedom can disappear faster than people realize The power of curiosity and historical understanding How division weakens a nation from within This episode is about more than a movie. It’s about whether the next generation will understand what it means to be free. Subscribe to American Cornerstone Institute and Common Sense with Dr. Ben Carson for…
