## Resource

As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, Todd examines a striking Gallup poll showing a dramatic partisan divide in national pride. Why do so many Democrats say they are not proud to be Americans while Republicans overwhelmingly express gratitude for the nation? Todd explores the difference between biblical pride and patriotic gratitude, discusses the dangers of virtue signaling, reflects on America's unique role in advancing liberty and opportunity, and responds to a CNN segment featuring Harry Enten highlighting the polling data. Plus, Todd encourages listeners to celebrate Independence Day with thankfulness for the freedoms and blessings that make America a shining city on a hill.
