From Washington: How Political Bickering Shaped America For 250 Years

As America celebrates its 250th birthday, the House of Representatives has come to a near-total shutdown over fierce internal policy debates and a razor-thin Republican majority. Fox News Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins to discuss the legislative gridlock surrounding the Save America Act, how modern partisan division mirrors the historic clashes of the Founding Fathers, and the cyclical nature of American political bargaining.

Plus, Ronald Reagan Institute Senior Fellow Tevi Troy joins to discuss how the 1976 Bicentennial celebrations compare to today’s festivities and explains how studying the views and debates of America’s founders could help put our shifting dynamics of power and modern political divide into perspective.
