On May 17, 1776, the Continental Congress declared a national day of humility, fasting, and prayer. They were weeks from declaring independence. They had everything to lose. They stopped, turned toward God, and prayed.
Exactly 250 years later, tens of thousands of Americans gathered on the National Mall for Rededicate 250. President Trump, Vice President Vance, Speaker Mike Johnson, Secretary Hegseth, and Secretary Rubio all participated.
Jenny Beth Martin closes the show with Scott McKay, Connie Hair, and Robert McNeily reflecting on what that gathering means right now. Robert McNeily, Director of Broadcasting and Grassroots Engagement at Tea Party Patriots Action, points to the 56 men who put pen to paper on the Declaration of Independence — ages 18 to elder — willing to lay down life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Connie Hair, Louisiana State Director for the State Freedom Caucus Network, articulates the founding principle: our rights are unalienable because they come from the Creator, not from men.
Scott McKay, publisher of The Hayride, points to what he saw in the crowd: it was decidedly young. Gen Z is packing churches in a way millennials never did. The old-time religion is winning. After COVID, after Big Tech censorship, after the FBI sending agents after Catholics who attend the Latin Mass — Gen Z is rebelling toward God.
