4th Of July Special
7/4/202622 min
In this special 4th of July episode, Morning Wire's John Bickley and Georgia Howe, along with host Wired In Live, Cabot Phillips, swap the usual interview format for a personal roundtable on what makes America special — from Cabot's moving private tour of Ronald Reagan's humble Santa Barbara ranch, to the viral wave of European soccer fans falling in love with American hospitality during the World Cup, to John's unforgettable conversation with Vietnam veteran and medevac pilot Art Jacobs. Three stories, one theme: why this country, 250 years in, still inspires awe. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.

John Bickley· Host0:30
So this time, Georgia, Cabot, and I are gonna sit down to discuss three stories that we've reported on or engaged with personally that we believe embody key aspects of what makes this country so special. I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe and Cabot Phillips. This is a Fourth of July edition of Morning Wire.

[upbeat music] Imagine inviting a dozen friends to pray in your home and your city telling you to get the government's permission first. That's what happened to Daniel Grand, an Orthodox Jew in University Heights, Ohio. When he planned a small prayer meeting at home, the city ordered him to get a permit, classified his house as a place of religious assembly, and even recruited his neighbors to spy on him and report any violations. To get the permit, Daniel would have to stop living in his own home, an impossible choice: abandon his faith or give up his house. That's why Alliance Defending Freedom and Orrick, Herrington, and Sutcliffe are representing Daniel at the US Supreme Court. ADF never bills its clients for their defense, but that's only possible
