The Case for America

The Case for America

Two hundred fifty years ago, fifty-six men risked the rope to sign their names to an idea. Today, we ask if that idea still holds.

On the actual anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we close out our Road to 250 series with Bret Baier's The Case for America — and a personal one of my own, as a husband, a government teacher, a coach, and a father raising a son in this country. Not a blind defense. Not a list of grievances. Just an honest case for why this unfinished, imperfect, still-arguing experiment is still worth believing in.

The finale of our weekly series leading up to July 4th, 2026. Happy Independence Day.
