Hello, everybody. I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show, midday update.

Over the weekend, we were over in Phoenix, Arizona for Amfest Turning Point USA.

And J.D. Vance gave an absolutely rousing speech yesterday to a packed house, packed to the rafters.

In fact, really great speech, but there were some parts that stuck out.

The shared moral language from the revolution to the civil war and beyond.

Across that history, our country's major debates have always centered on how we could best as a people please God.

That greed. think about it.

That creed motivated our understanding of natural law and rights,

our sense of duty to one's neighbor,

the conviction that the strong must protect the weak
