Freedom might mean struggle, but that’s just fine for country music star John Rich.
Rich recently sat down for an interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson and said that fighting to breathe life into a dream is what makes America the special place it is to him.
“We’re not guaranteed the right to be happy. We’re guaranteed the right to pursue happiness,” he said, according to Fox News.
“You’re not always happy when you’re pursuing it, but you ought to be happy that you’ve got a right to at least go for it. We should take advantage of that in this country, that we have the right to pursue happiness and absolutely exhaust our potential every chance we get,” he said.
During the show, he and Carlson walked down the winding road of Rich’s life and career. There were some poignant moments, he wrote in an Instagram post.
“Last night I got to see a picture of my Granny, and WWII Army Veteran Papaw Rich on @TuckerCarlson and my eyes filled with tears,” he posted.
In his interview, Rich said too many Americans want the rewards the nation offers without putting in the work to earn it.
“You have to struggle and suffer to go get these big things, and I think people these days think that if they don’t get what they want when they want and exactly how they want it, they’re gonna throw a brick through my window,” he said, Fox reported.
