\u201cFox & Friends\u201d host Ainsley Earhardt is on a mission to inspire children to love America.<\/p>\n
Earhardt, who has a new kids\u2019 book out titled, \u201cAmerica, I\u2019m So Glad You Were Born: Celebrating the Country We Love,\u201d said she created the project to offer young people and adults alike a reminder about America.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith so much news happening around the world and in our own country, and so much division, I thought, \u2018We need to get back to the basics and remember why we are so grateful to be Americans \u2014 to have all the freedoms that we have that [were] given to us by God,’\u201d she said. \u201cOur Founding Fathers wrote \u2026 in the Constitution that these are gifts given to us by God and He has protected this country \u2014 the greatest country in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked why she believes so many people have soured on America and become too negative, Earhardt offered her candid assessment. Among other realities, she said many young people today weren\u2019t around for the 9\/11 terror attacks, which horrified the nation and world. Thus, they don\u2019t remember what was felt \u2014 and lost \u2014 in those moments.<\/p>\n
Plus, past generations faced significant chaos and developed an appreciation for America. Young people simply haven\u2019t been through the same experience \u2014 one pointing them back to a love for the US.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur grandparents were so patriotic because they fought in World War II,\u201d she said. \u201cBoth of my grandfathers did, and they were so patriotic; they served our country, and they were always scared for the next generation, and they worked so hard to give their children a better life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ultimately, Earhardt said this older generation was proud of the US and \u201cappreciative of the Republic\u201d and the freedom America gave them.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey traveled to other countries and [saw] how women were treated, and \u2026 we talk a lot about Iran right now and the women,\u201d she said. \u201cThey can\u2019t walk outside, they have to be covered, they have to have an escort, they can\u2019t go to school, they can\u2019t drive.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earhardt continued, \u201cIn America, we have all those freedoms and we take them for granted. So I believe we have been spoiled as a country, and we need to learn the stories of other people.\u201d<\/p>\n
The TV host brought up other issues as well, including Christian persecution in Africa and other locations where believers are forced to hide their Bibles. Some face prison or even death simply for exercising their faith. Tragically, she said, too many people have come to forget the meaning of true freedom.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have so many people that want our country to be a socialist country \u2026 but do they know what that looks like?\u201d she said. \u201cTalk to anyone that moved here from Cuba and see what they experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Listen to the latest\u00a0episode\u00a0of \u201cQuick Start\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Ultimately, Earhardt doesn\u2019t want to see America go down a similar communist or socialist path. With \u201cAmerica, I\u2019m So Glad You Were Born: Celebrating the Country We Love,\u201d she hopes to remind Americans that the US was \u201cfounded on Christian values\u201d and a heritage of faith.<\/p>\n \u201cI want the children to realize the 4th of July is not just about fireworks, and floats, and red, white and blue dresses, and bows for your children, and matching outfits for the kids and, you know, picnics,\u201d she said. \u201cI want them to know that the red, white, and blue in our flag stands for our freedoms, and these are God-given rights.\u201d<\/p>\n Earhardt said she believes people\u2019s purpose is to \u201cserve Christ\u201d and that doing so is \u201csuch a gift.\u201d She also wants people to fully recognize how fortunate they are to live in America.<\/p>\n \u201cYou were born in the greatest country or you live in the greatest country,\u201d she said. \u201cYou have the right to choose where you want to go to church, you have the right to vote for your leaders, you have the right [to] freedom of speech, you can write a book, you can protest, you can do whatever you want in this country without being arrested.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch Earhardt above explain more about her goals for this book.<\/p>\n As the number of voices facing big-tech censorship continues to grow, please sign up for\u00a0Faithwire\u2019s daily newsletter\u00a0and download the\u00a0CBN News app, developed by our parent company, to stay up-to-date with the latest news from a distinctly Christian perspective.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cFox & Friends\u201d host Ainsley Earhardt is on a mission to inspire children to love America.
