38:05Now PlayingThomas Paine declared that no human being was born to rule another—and for that heresy, America’s elites buried him. The crowns have changed hands, but the thrones remain: in boardrooms, news networks, and campaign war chests. As “No Kings” demonstrations rise across the country, scholar Harvey J.

Harvey's book on the subject is "Thomas Paine and the Promise of America." It can be purchased here or at other fine independent booksellers:
