Ben Hamilton from his Chasing History Project joins Robert to discuss his travels and his attempt to record history through his eyes. We get in to all sorts of topics like education, critical thinking, was the civil war the worst thing the American Experiment has overcome, if a prayer rug and/or mental illness has anything to do with this and more.

We also delve in to the recent election and discuss the poor voter turnout in some places while looking back at civil rights leaders MLK and John Lewis who preserved our right to vote.

Compared to the history discussed with past civilizations, is the American Experiment doomed?
