GBTV with David Barton

As a homeschooling family we love WallBuilders! David Barton is the Founder and President of WallBuilders, a national organization that presents America's forgotten history and heroes. They have a special emphasis on America's moral, religious and constitutional heritage.

.

WallBuilders is a name taken from the Old Testament writings of Nehemiah, who led the movement to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem and restore its strength and honor. WallBuilders has been the foundation for much of our American History curriculum.

Screen shot from the show with Caleb & I up front

Caleb loves history and has devoured much of David Barton's work! We have been to see David's son Tim Barton speak on October 20 , 2011 and today we were privilege to visit Glenn Beck's GBTV studios where David was hosting the Glenn Beck Show.

.

The show had special emphasis on elections of the past including famous debates, polling debacles, influential first ladies, and even hanging chads. I originally understood it to be a Q&A with a teen audience; but they brought in several other leading political historians with lots of information.

.

We sat front row in the audience an enjoyed every bit of the shows taping. There was a Q&A, but the audience was primarily adults. At the conclusion of the show Caleb did ask David to autograph his copy of Original Intent.

.

It was such a fun time; Caleb was fascinated by the booms and cameras. In the audience with us was David Barton's parents and before the taping I met his wife.

.

So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached
half its height, for the people worked
with all their heart.
