Summary
The Fourth of July is tomorrow — which makes today the perfect moment to ask what, exactly, the Founding Fathers actually built, and whether it's holding up. Law professor Jonathan Turley argues the revolution they launched is still very much unfinished — and under pressure — in Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution. Then, bestselling biographer Walter Isaacson drills into the single most consequential sentence in American history in The Greatest Sentence Ever Written, unpacking how a committee of brilliant, fractious men forged the words that still define us. Two authors, one birthday, and a question we're still answering. 🎁 Save 20% on a Next Big Idea Club membership when you used code PODCAST at nextbigideaclub.com ✉️ Get big ideas in your inbox with our daily newsletter.
