Inauguration Day: Let our object be our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country!
Amid the excitement and celebration of the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris today, Boyd reminds listeners of this important quote by former Secretary of State Daniel Webster. “Let our object be our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country. And, by the blessings of God, may that country itself become a vast and splendid monument, not of oppression and terror, but of wisdom, of peace, and of liberty, upon which the world may gaze with admiration forever.” With an eye to that objective, Boyd expands on how today’s inaugural events, speeches, and participants, showcase the diversity of American dreams, opinions, and people. And compares the words of President Biden today to the presidents of the past, and how their inaugurations truly set the tone for their whole administration. ‘Inside Sources with Boyd Matheson,’ Opinion Editor at Deseret News, takes you inside the latest political news and current events, providing higher ground for today's discussions.
