Reuniting For America 250
Summary
Hosted by Tim Rice, this special July 4th episode features Daily Wire reporter Linden Blake discussing a heartwarming story about a fourth-grade class from Alabama who wrote a patriotic song for the 1976 bicentennial. Fifty years later, the now-elderly classmates reunited to re-record the track, "My Grand American Home," at their local church to celebrate America's 250th anniversary. The conversation highlights the enduring bond of the class, the song's history with Governor George Wallace, and the group's hope to present the re-recording to President Trump.
