John Tillman, CEO of the American Culture Project, founder of the Hall of Giants, and author of Political Vise: How the Radical Left Controls America and the Path to Regaining Our Liberty, joins Steve to discuss America's approaching 250th anniversary. Tillman explores declining confidence in national institutions, the cultural divide surrounding patriotism, the Founders' vision for the republic, and whether Americans still share a common belief in preserving the nation's founding ideals.

John Tillman, CEO of the American Culture Project and former Illinois Policy Institute leader, discusses his new book The Political Vise, explaining why elected officials often fail to deliver on the promises voters expect.

At the root of nearly every modern convenience is a person who saw a problem, took a risk, and decided to build something better.

This is the animating conviction of John Tillman — author of The Political Vise and the visionary behind a bold new project called the Hall of Giants. In a recent conversation on ICAN’s Capital Ideas podcast with hosts Dara Albright, Nick Morgan, and Mark Hiraide, Tillman delivered one of the most passionate, clear-eyed defenses of entrepreneurship and free enterprise that the crowdfunding and capital formation world is likely to hear.
