## Resource

Rita sits down with bestselling author and historian Eric Metaxas to discuss his newest blockbuster book, Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World. Metaxas shares his passion for reviving American patriotism ahead of the nation's 250th anniversary—which he calls the "super centennial"—while pushing back against anti-American sentiments from Hollywood elites like Robert De Niro and Bette Midler. Drawing from his immigrant parents' profound gratitude for the American "good guys", Metaxas explains the miraculous success of our founding, the stark contrast between American honor and British "barbarity" during the war, and why he remains so hopeful for the country's future. Tune in for an inspiring chat about reclaiming America's founding heroes, President Donald Trump's surprise Truth Social endorsement, and the hilarious reality of outselling Jill Biden's book despite the New York Times bestseller list's rankings Learn more about your ad choices.
