Episode 60: Local Self Government Feb 23, 2017

Show notes

http://learntruehistory.com Americans have the gall to insist that they have the right to govern themselves. This is unique in Western Civilization. The Greeks and Romans had local self government, but after the Germanic and Viking invasions, much of that was lost outside of the Northern Italian republics. Not so in England. I discuss the English political tradition of local self government and how that applies to the American political tradition. This is a History 101 event you don't want to miss.

Episode 59: Ending Federal Judicial Supremacy Feb 21, 2017

Show notes

Most Americans believe that the federal judiciary is out of control, but they feel powerless to stop it. Even some of our most trusted elected officials have this unnatural awe and respect for the judicial branch, like the men and women in black robes have some supernatural authority and need to be revered. The dirty little secret: Congress can...and should...do something about it. I discuss this in Episode 59 of the Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 58: Necessary and Proper Feb 09, 2017

Show notes

http://learntruehistory.com Necessary and Proper does not mean "you can do anything you want to do." Listeners have asked for this type of show, so here you go. I cover the original intent of the "Necessary and Proper Clause," and some general language about the Constitution. Your "living Constitution" friends will hate the episode because I destroy their arguments.

Ep. 57: Barbarians Feb 07, 2017

Show notes

We have barbarians at the gate. The Left has shown their true colors with constant riots and protests aimed at some imaginary bogeyman. My colleague Jack Kerwick has analyzed the problem at Townhall.com. You should read his essay, but I also get into a bit more history and explain that this has always been the MO of the Left on Episode 57 of The Brion McClanahan Show. http://townhall.com/columnists/jackkerwick/2017/02/06/the-importance-of-language-leftist-thugs-are-terrorists-not-protesters-or-snowflakes-n2282113

Episode 56: All of Mexico!..not really. Feb 02, 2017

Show notes

http://learntruehistory.com Trump is going to send in the troops, at least that is what he told the current Mexican president. What is it about Mexico and the United States? Why is our relationship with our southern neighbor so strained? I discuss the history of the political, economic, and diplomatic interaction between Mexico and the United States in Episode 56 of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 55: A Nation of Immigrants? Jan 31, 2017

Show notes

http://learntruehistory.com Is the United States a "nation of immigrants?" No. This is an ingenious narrative crafted in the last fifty years to undermine traditional American political institutions. I discuss Trump's actions on immigration, debunk the "American nation" thesis, and the founding perspective on immigration on Episode 55 of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 54: State's Rights Isn't a Dirty Word Jan 24, 2017

Show notes

http://learntruehistory.com State's rights! Just saying it will send some Americans into apoplectic shock. But it isn't a dirty word. In fact, State's rights is the key to restoring liberty in America. I discuss federalism and the book "A Less Perfect Union: The Case for State's Rights" by Adam Freedman on Episode 54 of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 53: Incorporation? What Incorporation? Jan 17, 2017

Show notes

http://learntruehistory.com A listener asked me to respond to several questions posted at the Jason Stapleton program referencing the incorporation of the Bill of Rights. My answer: Incorporation? What incorporation? I explain myself in Episode 53 of The Brion McClanahan Show. Every American needs to hear this podcast.

Episode 52: Is it 2016 or 1976? Wrapping up the 2016 Election Dec 15, 2016

Show notes

Donald Trump has been called the next Andrew Jackson and many people, including yours truly, have compared his run at the presidency with previous election cycles. But I dare say no one has compared 2016 with 1976. I do, and I give you my thoughts on a future Trump presidency and other nuggets in this episode. I'm back!

Episode 51: 2016 Election Primer Nov 02, 2016

Show notes

Who should you vote for on November 8? Trump? Clinton? Johnson? Castle? Stein? Does it matter? I discuss all of this and how I would vote in different parts of the country. Listen to this before you cast your ballot.
