As America prepares to celebrate the Fourth of July, Josh Hammer reflects on the founding of our nation, the enduring principles of liberty and self-government, and the challenges facing the American republic today. He explains why understanding our history isn't just about honoring the past—it's essential to preserving our future.

Josh is then joined by bestselling author Eric Metaxas to discuss his timely new book, Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World. Together, they explore the incredible story behind America's founding, separate fact from fiction about the Founding Fathers, and explain why so many Americans have forgotten the ideas that gave birth to the greatest experiment in self-government the world has ever known.
