From the Archive: What Set Our Founders Apart: Charlie at 2019 YWLS

Simple: Because they built a limited government that would live beyond them, rather than maximizing power for themselves and their descendants. And as a result, the American republic has blossomed to be the greatest nation in history.</p> <p>Watch every episode ad-free on members.charliekirk.com! </p> <p> </p> <p>Get new merch at charliekirkstore.com!</p><p><a href="http://www.charliekirk.com/support" rel="payment">Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/support</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
