This podcast is simple. It is me reading important documents and speeches from America's history. Here, you will get the Federalist Papers, written to convince Americans that they were better off together than they were apart. You will get the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, the "why" and "how" of the United States. You will get speeches from some of the framers and protectors of America. I cannot think of a better time to hear them.
