Summary

A recent FOX News poll reveals that 58% of Americans take pride in their country, representing an increase of nearly 13 points compared to the same time last year. This figure is also the highest level of national pride recorded since 2011. Most Republicans say they are proud to be an American, while 36% of Democrats would say the same. Executive editor and anchor of The Story With Martha MacCallum, Martha MacCallum joins the Rundown to break down the data, why Americans have less pride in their nation than generations ago, and share her favorite things about Independence Day. Bryan Kohberger has accepted a plea deal in the case of the four murdered college students in Idaho. It's been more than two and a half years since University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, and Madison Mogen were murdered while sleeping in an off-campus apartment. The investigation led to Bryan Kohberger, who, with his plea deal, has escaped the death penalty yet stands to spend life in prison. Former prosecutor and current criminal defense attorney Mark Eiglarsh joins the podcast to analyze the plea deal and the evidence against Kohberger. Plus, commentary from the host of “Tomi Lahren is Fearless on Outkick,” Tomi Lahren. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
