0:00.0	There's something powerful about hearing the story of a country, not just as a list of events,
0:05.5	but as a journey. There are many I find more inspiring than America's story.
0:11.0	The Great American Story, a land of hope, is a free online course from Hillsdale College that brings it to life.
0:17.6	It covers the American Revolution, the Civil War, the World Wars, the Cold War,

1:32.3	factors in order, multiculturalism would be at the top, and if we were to put some kind of
1:37.9	ranking on them, it's like 90%. People who either express the view or nod at the view that we want our country back and the people who want you to shut the f*** up.
1:50.0	So there's this sense on the part of the formerly dominant majority that they are losing this status, which impels them as fear usually does to act out.
