Mitch Daniels and George Will examine the ambitions and limits of American power—from the restless energy of the executive branch to the resilience of the republic’s institutions. Drawing on his decades of political observation, Will examines the overreach of executive power, the fatigue of America’s two-party system, and the civic virtues that uphold the republic. Together, they reflect on the creative ferment of a free society, the cyclical nature of history, and the moral limits that protect liberty from ambition and fatigue.Caging the “Ambitious Executive Lion” (1:36)The Exhausted Middle and Two-Party System (11:38)The Republic, Virtuous People, & Creative Ferment (21:50)The Tone of Presidential-Centric America (27:17)Cyclical History & the Role of Luck (33:11) You can find The Future of Liberty with Gov.
