Lou Dobbs discusses his latest book, *Independents Day: Awakening the American Spirit*. Dobbs has examined the US's public policy choices over the past 30 years. He lays out the folly of continuing to follow existing domestic and foreign policies that have enriched and entrenched the elites, and burdened the rest of America to the breaking point. He explores how we must and can restore the fundamental national value of equality of rights and opportunity for all Americans.
