Summary

Oh say can you see? No? Because it's a podcast? Makes sense. Celebrate Independence Day with your ears as The Daily Show dives into what makes America so American. 

Jon Stewart focuses on the 4th, as Stephen Colbert checks out a holiday rally held by the KKK. Ed Helms heads to Alaska to find out if there's such a thing as too many eagles. Jon likes his patriotism musical, as he covers a divisive anthem by Arrowsmith, controversial country music, and a Spanish translatino of the Star Spangled Banner. Trevor Noah addresses Colin Kaepernick's anthem protest. Finally, Desi Lydic and Troy Iwata cover the crown jewel of awards season: The Fox News Patriot Awards.
