Episode 250: World War I Aug 13, 2019

Show notes

World War I was as transformational for the United States as the War for Southern Independence. While the 1860s helped produce the imperial executive and then led to Reconstruction, World War I created the American nation. I explain in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Episode 249: Washington's Farewell Aug 06, 2019

Show notes

Washington's Farewell Address used to be an important part of every Congress. The House stopped reading it in 1979 while the Senate still continues the practice. What does it say and what can we learn from it? A listener wanted an overview, so this is it. I consider it to be an important letter, one with prescient warnings but also lofty inconsistency. I discuss the Address in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Episode 248: Lincoln the Socialist? Jul 31, 2019

Show notes

The Washington Post published a piece celebrating Lincoln's ties to Karl Marx. This is something I have been saying for years, but what do I know? I am not the Washington Post. But if the Washington Post prints it, it has to be true and acceptable. Of course, I agree, and I discuss Lincoln and the Red Republicans in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Episode 247: What is Incorporation? Jul 23, 2019

Show notes

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com A listener asks, "What is this incorporation thing you keep talking about? I hear it all the time, and I don't know what it is. Please help!" I've got you covered in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 246: Political Puritans Jul 17, 2019

Show notes

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com "The Squad" held a press conference the other day in order to make their case for impeaching Donald Trump. His crime? Being a political heretic. The four stooges made that clear by the language they used to denounce his language. These people are political puritans, and anyone who does not agree with them has to be destroyed. I discuss the historical precedent and its implications in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 245: The Origins of "Conservative Republicans?" Jul 15, 2019

Show notes

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com A listener asked what are the "origins of the conservative faction of the Republican Party?" This is a good question. He provided three plausible scenarios and asked in any had merit. I discuss his question and the GOSP in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 244: Taking On Politically Charged History Jul 10, 2019

Show notes

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com Kevin Levin has a new book coming out that Yale historian David Blight thinks will destroy the most pervasive myth of the "Civil War," that of Black Confederates. Both Blight and Levin, and their bosom buddy Bruce Levine, knock down this neo-Confederate straw man whenever they can. If you listen to these three knuckleheads, every historian is a neo-Confederate in need of a reeducation. If that were only true. Either way, I take on the three stooges in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 243: Should We Listen to David Barton? Jul 08, 2019

Show notes

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com This one is for the dozens of people who contacted me about my thoughts on David Barton. Should we listen to him? Short answer: no. Longer answer: run away. I explain why David Barton is one of the most problematic people on the "right"--while pointing out just a few of his stupid statements in a recent media appearance--in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 242: Welcome to Progressive America Jul 03, 2019

Show notes

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com June 30 marked the 10th anniversary of the publication of my Politically Incorrect Guide to the Founding Fathers. I knew that the founding generation was under assault when I wrote it, but little did I know things would spiral out of control so quickly. In ten years we have gone from contextualization to outright removal. You can't but the original U.S. Flag on shoes because it's racist. You can't celebrate Jefferson's birthday in Charlottesville, VA--Jefferson's home!--because it's racist. This is insanity, but is it? Not to the progressives. This is by design. Welcome to progressive America.

Episode 241: Debates, Debates, Debates! Jun 28, 2019

Show notes

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com The first round of "debates" are in the books and they were just as awful as I expected. I suffered through them so maybe you didn't have to, but several things were made clear by this political circus, and I tell you what those are in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.
