We open with a surprising deep dive into the Monroe Doctrine—penned by John Quincy Adams and issued by President James Monroe—and connect it to modern policy choices around Venezuela and hemispheric security.

0:11.0

Of course, Fridays we just kind of catch up on some of the good news.

0:13.6

Even when there's tough topics, we've, of course, got a biblical, historical and constitutional perspective.

0:20.2

And as long as you got that

1:25.2

They participated in the birth America. They all had different roles,

1:29.1

different things they did. And it was interesting going through and studying them to see how different

1:34.1

they were from each other, but how they each had a set of skills that was quite remarkable. And John Quincy
