Matt Kibbe and Nick Freitas hit the road in Philadelphia to talk about the uniqueness of the American experiment. While stopping by Independence Hall, they discuss the legacies of Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson, and whether 18th century attitudes towards slavery irredeemably taint the notion of a nation conceived in liberty.

He was senior advisor for a Rand Paul Presidential Super PAC in 2016, and later co-founded AlternativePAC to promote libertarian values.
In 2004 Kibbe founded FreedomWorks, a national grassroots advocacy organization, and served as President until his departure in 2015. Steve Forbes said: “Kibbe has been to FreedomWorks what Steve Jobs was to Apple.”
