The American Right to Pursue
Fox Nation host John Rich focuses his show on one of the unalienable rights outlined in The U.S. Declaration of Independence: the pursuit of happiness. The Pursuit! with John Rich explores the hard work, ambition and resilience required in the noble pursuit of the American dream, and also how the pursuit itself is the right. John discusses the great American stories that were written – and earned – through life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. As John always says, “America doesn’t guarantee us happiness, but rather the right to pursue happiness! The fact that we have the right to exhaust our potential should inherently make us happy.”
