Glenn warns of the dangers that come when the government owns the advancement of technology. Glenn tells a story from 1776 about American troops standing up to the Royal Navy and emerging victorious, just days before the Declaration of Independence was signed. Tim Barton, president of WallBuilders, joins to discuss his book "Lives, Fortunes & Sacred Honor: The Signers of the Declaration," which tells the story of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence.
