As America approaches its 250th anniversary, historian Victor Davis Hanson joins Raymond Arroyo to discuss patriotism, national identity, and the cultural forces shaping the country's future. Why are Americans more divided than ever, and what can history teach us about rebuilding a shared sense of purpose?

Hanson also weighs in on the growing challenges posed by Iran and China, America's role on the world stage, and whether the United States remains positioned for renewal despite predictions of decline.

Plus, in a deeply personal segment, Hanson shares the story of his battle with lung cancer, a near-death experience that transformed his perspective on faith, gratitude, and the meaning of life.
