Episode notes

Freedom to do what?

As America marks the 250th anniversary of its independence, we celebrate liberty, justice, equality, opportunity, and self-government.

But have we forgotten why those ideals matter in the first place?

In this special Independence Day PepTalk, James Peppe argues that the ultimate purpose of government is not power, politics, or even freedom itself — but ensuring every person's ability to pursue a fulfilling, happy life, however they define it, free from unjust interference.

This episode also marks the release of Pep's new book, America's CommonSense Pursuit of Happiness, which explores this foundational purpose and offers a practical vision for restoring CommonSense to American self-government.
