RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (KESQ) - As the United States of America prepares to celebrate it's 250th birthday this year, authors and historians from around the country are reflecting on the country's birth, present nature and future.

For many, high political tensions are top of mind, including the recent killing of U.S. citizen Alex Pretti in Minneapolis last week.

The first day of speakers featured big names like former U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer, former Deputy Chief of Staff to George W. Bush, Karl Rove, Admiral William H. McRaven, author Rick Atkinson, and more.

Tune in tonight at 4, 5, and 6 as News Channel 3's Athena Jreij speaks with presenters on the message of this year's festival.
