What's so special about America? And why do we have more freedom and prosperity than any other country in the world despite our problems? Just in time for Thanksgiving, the one and only Bill Federer joins Frank to uncover the surprising biblical ideas baked into our founding documents that many Americans have long forgotten. Find out how nations throughout history slid into tyranny without even realizing it and why big government always sounds compassionate...until it isn’t. Tune in as they answer questions like:* What has been the most common form of government since history began?* Who was the first globalist leader in human history?* What was so unique about the Hebrew Republic and how did it inspire the Puritans?* What is one of the greatest archaeological finds in history that confirms the Bible?* What have been some of the negative effects of the American welfare system?* What is obfuscation and how did it help Muslim socialist Zohran Mamdani win the NYC mayoral election?* What are the two main ways that people in power take rights and freedom away from others?* How has the government usurped the church's role of caring for the poor?* Was Greece a democracy or people-first government?* If everyone "does what was right in their own eyes" why is government necessary?* Why is there such a drastic difference between the average income of Egyptian and American workers?* Why is virtue the hidden ingredient every free society depends on?* Why was ancient Israel's society so successful, and what ultimately brought it to an end?And stay tuned, this is only Part 1 of the conversation!
