Why should we be proud of America?

In this episode of The Liberty Show, Matthew Kirby sits down with Burt and Anita Folsom to explore the historical foundations of American liberty and why those ideas still matter today.

Drawing from their work on American history and their recent pamphlet Three Reasons to Be Proud of America, the Folsoms walk through the principles that shaped the nation and the stories that are often overlooked in modern education.

They discuss how the Declaration of Independence established enduring truths about human equality and rights, why entrepreneurship played a critical role in shaping the modern world, and how America’s actions on the global stage have impacted history in profound ways.

In this conversation:

• The foundational truths of the Declaration of Independence

• Why rights come from God, not government

• How America helped lead the abolition of slavery

• The role of entrepreneurship in shaping the modern world

• Why the U.S. rebuilt Europe after World War II

• How history should be taught to the next generation

This episode is a reminder that understanding history is essential to forming thoughtful, informed citizens.
