In 1975, a fourth-grade class in Alexander City, Alabama wrote a song called "My Grand American Home" for America's bicentennial—one that even caught the attention of Governor George Wallace. Fifty years later, that same class reunited to re-record the song for America's 250th birthday, with their original teacher, 84-year-old Miss Holdridge, joining them. Daily Wire reporter Lynden Blake shares the full story—including her mom's campaign to get it in front of President Trump—with Tim Rice on this special July 4th episode of Behind the Story.

Morning Wire

Reuniting For America 250

In this special 4th of July episode, Morning Wire's John Bickley and Georgia Howe, along with host Wired In Live, Cabot Phillips, swap the usual interview format for a personal roundtable on what makes America special — from Cabot's moving private tour of Ronald Reagan's humble Santa Barbara ranch, to the viral wave of European soccer fans falling in love with American hospitality during the World Cup, to John's unforgettable conversation with Vietnam veteran and medevac pilot Art Jacobs. Three stories, one theme: why this country, 250 years in, still inspires awe. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.

He lays out the genomic clues behind his case, weighs in on gain-of-function research, and argues what must change to prevent the next pandemic. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.
