As America’s 250th anniversary approaches, many of its core values are on trial, but they don’t have to be. Bret’s upcoming book, The Case for America features historians, commentators, and business leaders from across the nation who share their perspectives on what makes our nation great.

In this interview, Harvard Professor & Bestselling Author Arthur Brooks joined Bret to share his perspective on our nation’s history, how to solve our political divisions and answer one simple question: “What is the case for America?”

The Case for America will be available at all major retailers on May 5th, 2026
