Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I discuss the meaning of Independence Day for patriotic, traditional, liberty-minded Americans in 2023. We have endured a lot of tyranny, chaos, and cultural decay over the past few years, and it is important for us to reflect on the implications of this national holiday to us as Americans -- and as Californians.
Specifically, I discussed the Richard Henry Lee resolution (July 2, 1776) that these United States are free and independent states. (Does it feel like your state is "free and independent" in the year 2023?)
I also read some of the opening paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence. How should we incorporate Jefferson's thoughts and ideals into our civic lives as Americans? What were the grievances that he enumerated against King George III, and how do they compare to the burden that is currently placed onto us at the federal and state levels?
