Summary

Point Taken contributors Bill McCoshen and Joe Zepecki joined Kristin Brey and Steve Scaffidi for a special hour reflecting on America's 250th as the nation celebrates over the July 4th Independence Day weekend. Covering 250 years of our nation's tumultuous political history, with a nod to our nation's founders and our first President George Washington, they explore where we've been, challenges to our democracy in the struggles over slavery, fighting world wars, and even immigration policy, and share their own thoughts on our country's future.
