## Resource

Steve welcomes historian and American Minute founder Bill Federer for a sweeping 90-minute tour of 6,000 years of recorded human history to answer one question: Where are we on the arc, and where are we headed? Federer makes the case that America was history's great polarity reversal in the flow of power, that self-government only works when citizens understand they are the king, and that silence in a republic is not neutrality.
