Send us Fan Mail Navy veteran, nuclear submarine officer, and author Jonathan P. Morrow joins the Dr. Virga Podcast to discuss his new book, The Conclusion of the American Experiment, which traces U.S. history through four founding principles: Individual Liberty, Popular Sovereignty, Limited Government, and Economic Liberty — and argues the republic has drifted out of balance from them. We dig into the Enlightenment philosophy behind the Declaration of Independence and Constitution (Locke, Rousseau, Montesquieu), why Jonathan calls modern MAGA politics a betrayal of founding principles, the "battle for the founders," separation of church and state, immigration as a founding American value, and a preview of his next book, The Five Amendment Solution — which proposes ending the federal income tax, taxing corporations instead, and banning corporate money in politics. We also cover his path from the Navy nuclear program to full-time author, and his family's move to Portugal. Think Deeper. Live Wiser. Stay Ready. 📖 Get the book, The Conclusion of the American Experiment: https://a.co/d/0aRmczOi Available in hardcover and audiobook (narrated by the author).
