Welcome back to the Rational Policy Podcast! You’re in luck, as this Very Special Episode is our America 250 Extravaganza, a paean to America so awesome that you’ll involuntarily grow a mullet. In all seriousness, though, this is the greatest nation that has ever existed, the greatest triumph for human freedom that mankind has ever created, and the most incredible, dynamic, creative society full of the most generous, welcoming, resilient, and entrepreneurial people on Earth. Your hosts, Mike Coté and Art Vandelay, do their level best to give our nation its proper due on this auspicious anniversary. We discuss why America is so great, how our dedication to individualism was radical in 1776 and remains so in 2026, and how Americans have worked tirelessly to maintain our Union for a quarter of a millennium. We touch on the best and worst presidents, our favorite amendments to the Constitution, and the best recent federal legislators. We then shift to broader cultural topics, detailing our favorite American cities, monuments, food, sports, traditions, historical eras, music, and more. It is a podcast eminently befitting such an exceptional nation on such an awe-inspiring and glorious anniversary. Happy birthday, America. We love you. Check it out, follow us on Twitter/X (Mike / Art), and share the podcast with anyone you think might appreciate it. Thanks for listening. We’ll be back next week with our regularly scheduled programming. Until then, go out and celebrate the most successful experiment in personal liberty that has ever been tried. Happy Independence Day!
