Larry, a man whose journey from rock musician to esteemed historian is as riveting as his works, brings a treasure trove of wisdom to our dialogue. We address the critical importance of visionary leadership in the U.S. and discuss how a clear vision—or its absence—can determine the legacy of a nation, grounding our conversation in historical insights and the principles of governance that have shaped our country.Show more

Unraveling the threads of American exceptionalism, we revisit "A Patriot's History of the United States," a tome that climbed the charts with a nod from the Glenn Beck Show. Larry and I examine the book's four foundational pillars that have carved out the distinctive story of America, advocating for governance that rises from the people. Delving into the synergy between public sentiment and policy-making, we uncover the potent influence of commentators like Rush Limbaugh and the undeniable force of civic participation, all while bantering about the power of individual voices in steering the political landscape.

As our conversation widens to embrace the global panorama, Larry sheds light on the historical trajectory of globalism and its modern-day manifestations, from the diplomatic dances of the Congress of Vienna to the emerging BRICS alliance. We dissect the populist and nationalist movements pushing back against the globalist wave, pondering the potential comeback of former President Trump and the growing momentum of the 'Great Reawakening' seeking to challenge the status quo. Tune in for a rich tapestry of history and contemporary analysis that will leave you pondering the forces sculpting our future.
