## Resource

With America’s 250th birthday just over the horizon, Bret set out to explore why the nation’s core values are still worth defending. In his latest book, ‘The Case for America,’ he spoke with historians, commentators, and business leaders across the country to find out. This special "best of" episode revisits the perspectives of three of those individuals: UNITE Founder and Special Olympics Chairman Tim Shriver, Harvard professor and bestselling author Arthur Brooks, and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice – who each make their own powerful argument on behalf of our nation.
