Episode 290: Glenn Beck's Restoring the Covenant Feb 11, 2020

Show notes

Glenn Beck relies too much on David Barton. How do I know this? His latest event, Restoring the Covenant on the Sacred Land of Gettysburg, is just pure Lincolnian myth making and New England fantasy at its finest. This presents all kinds of problems for American conservatives. In fact, it is more dangerous long term than American progressivism. If American conservatism is defined by Beck's "Restoring the Covenant," then American conservatism is dead. I explain in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 289: Pierre Delecto's Moment Feb 07, 2020

Show notes

Mitt Romney, aka Pierre Delecto, had his moment this week. Delecto voted to convict Trump on the "Abuse of Power" charge and in the process made a "moving" speech in the Senate, one that was described as bringing members of the Democrat Party to tears. What a joke. His speech was nothing short of grandstanding hypocrisy and full of holes. I talk about why--and wrap up this impeachment Greek comedy--in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 288: The State of the Union Feb 06, 2020

Show notes

Trump's latest "State of the Union" address was pure political theater, from the opening (non) handshake to the shredding of the script. But what about the actual substance? Was Trump right about anything he said? The Democrats embarrassed themselves, the Republicans pumped their fists, and the average voter watched with curious amazement at what has become the greatest show on Earth. Forget the circus, we've got Trump and the Congress. I go over the SOU in this Episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 287: Coronavirus! Jan 31, 2020

Show notes

The hysteria surrounding the coronavirus hasn't reached its peak. It will when more cases show up in the United States. Hopefully, that won't happen, but if it does, expect the worst. But what if we thought locally and acted locally? Would a viral pandemic be possible? And how does the coronavirus fit within the history of the "Columbian Exchange"? I discuss all of these issues in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 286: Kobe Bryant and the Cult of Personality Jan 29, 2020

Show notes

Kobe Bryant's death has been covered wall to wall on network and cable television since it happened Sunday Jan 26, 2020. Both Trump and Obama Tweeted about the crash that killed Bryant and eight others, including the tragic loss of three young teenage girls. We have seen a national outpouring of grief. Just two days before, three American firefighters died in an airplane crash in Australia. This received little media attention. What does this say about American culture? I discuss in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show. This is definitely a think locally, act locally episode.

Episode 285: 1917 Jan 23, 2020

Show notes

1917 is the best anti-war war movie ever made. Of course there is no shortage of anti-war movies, but 1917 has everything you would want except the sad ending. I don't want to give away too many spoilers, but I thought the film deserved an episode along with a little WWI historical inference. What if World War I never happened?

Episode 284: Electoral College Goes to SCOTUS Jan 22, 2020

Show notes

The Electoral College is headed to the Supreme Court. This doesn't mean that SCOTUS will do away with the method of electing the president. It can't. But it will decide if so called "faithless electors" can be disciplined by the State. In other words, if an elector decides to choose a qualified candidate other than the one who won the popular vote of that State, can the State then fine that person or throw out their vote. This is a big question with major implications. I discuss the issue, the history, and the legal positioning in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 283: Millhiser's Modest Proposal Jan 17, 2020

Show notes

Ian Millhiser is always good for a laugh. The fact that Think Progress went belly up couldn't have happened to a more despicable leftist. No worries. Vox quickly scooped up the king of platitudes and slander so he can continue to spew his leftist fantasies on a regular basis. Take for example a recent piece titled "A Modest Proposal to Save American Democracy." Without even reading it, you'd probably guess it's stupid. You're right, but there is a silver lining to this outright idiocy: Millhiser may have accidentally stumbled on to decentralization. Probably not, but it's great podcast fodder.

Episode 282: The War Powers Act Jan 15, 2020

Show notes

Is the War Powers Act of 1973 unconstitutional? John Bolton thinks so and Tweeted as much. Donald Trump immediately praised the move, and Republicans for several decades have called for its repeal. They are all right, but not for their stated reasons. The War Powers Act of 1973 is unconstitutional because it grants TOO much power to the president, not because it limits his "constitutional authority" as Bolton and others argue. I dive into this issue in Episode 282 of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 281: The Antifederalists Jan 10, 2020

Show notes

Were the antifederalists "antifederalist"? The short answer: no. The long answer, at least according to some historians, it's complicated. Aaron Coleman had a great book review at Law and Liberty that tackles this question and more, so I decided to cover both his review and the topic in detail. This is the intellectual ammunition you need for "think locally, act locally."
