Fox News

A recent FOX News poll shows that Americans are losing confidence in the country’s institutions and becoming less proud of their country. Many blame this trend on the nation’s increasing political polarization. Senior counselor at Center View Partners and president emeritus of Council on Foreign Relations, Richard Haas, joins to discuss why he thinks the country is growing more divided, how teaching history and civics can help us unite, and what inspired his book, The Bill of Obligations. ﻿ In May, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Xavier Becerra, issued a proposal to create a financial incentive for hospitals that meet a quota of low-income patients seeking a kidney transplant. The Biden administration insists that the system is colorblind, but they emphasize that it aims to address racial disparities in American healthcare. Opponents of the plan argue that hospitals may have the discretion to choose which patients are more “deserving” of a transplant. Mark Meredith, a Washington-based correspondent for FOX News, joins to explain how the plan works and its potential impact on patients waiting for a kidney transplant. Plus, commentary from co-author of ‘Stolen Youth’ Karol Markowicz.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Minutes before going on stage for the first presidential debate on Thursday, Donald Trump received a phone call from the mother of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was killed in Houston this month, allegedly by two Venezuelan men in the U.S. illegally. The mother, Alexis Nungaray, was returning a voicemail Trump had left earlier in the day when she was at her daughter's funeral, a friend of the family, Victoria Galvan, who witnessed the call, told Reuters. Nungaray's body was found in a creek near her home on June 17, after her attackers allegedly took her under a bridge, tied her up, took her pants off and strangled her, according to police and prosecutors.

A few years ago, my wife and I finally made our big trip across the country. As we drove west, and kept driving west, and still further west, we marveled and were at times overcome by the vastness and variety of this amazing land.

Americans don't always do well when it comes to basic trivia about our own country. It's not entirely our fault, though. For generations we've been passing less-than-credible stories down as "facts." Everything from where the Pilgrims landed to who exactly discovered our continent is steeped in rumor and myth. Of course, there are other things we probably should know but don't, like how our system of measurement works (to be fair, it's confusing).
