Hey friends, welcome to the Natasha Crane podcast. My guest today is Bill Federer. He is a nationally

known speaker, bestselling author, and president of Amerisarch Incorporated, a publishing company

dedicated to researching America's Noble Heritage.

Bill's American Minute Radio feature is broadcast daily across America, and he is just a really extraordinary historian.

I am not sure exactly when I became aware of Bill, but I know I had heard him the last couple of years on some different podcasts, but this summer he came to top of mind for me because we were both speaking at the Turning Point Educator Summit back in July. And when I saw him, he spoke a couple

of sessions after me. And so I got to watch his talk. Didn't actually get to meet him in person

at the time. But when I did, I just loved what he had to say so much. And it was a reminder that I had

really been wanting to check out his books. So I started with one called Who is the King in America,

an overview of 6,000 years of history and why America is unique. I love that title. And I love

history. So I'm going into this admitting that I am kind of a history in art, and I

absolutely love this stuff, but I think it is so important for us to know as Christians, as you're

going to see in this episode. But one reason that I really loved the book and the style in which he

writes his books is because they're so different than a lot of other books that are primarily

narrative in nature in terms of how they

tell the history. Bell tells history mostly, at least in the books that I've seen, through

quoting primary sources. So you're reading quotes directly from original documents. And he has

a narrative that ties these together that tells an overall story, but it's just really neat to be

able to see original quotes from people

in their own words throughout history. So I so much enjoyed that book, who is the King in America,

that I went on to read two more of his books this summer. One is a book on socialism and the history

of socialism. And then the one today that we're talking about is called silence equals consent,

the sin of omission.
