Episode 30: The Legacy of FDR Jun 22, 2016

Show notes

Who is the worst president in American history? That is a complicated question. It depends on how "worst" is measured. FDR is the most transformational president in American history, particularly in the 20th century, and that is no badge of honor. I discuss Roosevelt, the New Deal, and American political history on this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show. http://learntruehistory.com

Episode 29: Amendment II Jun 20, 2016

Show notes

What is the original meaning and intent of the Second Amendment? What is the "militia"? I discuss both issues along with the faulty doctrine of "incorporation" on Episode 29 of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Episode 28: Lincoln and the Constitution Jun 15, 2016

Show notes

How did Abraham Lincoln "screw up America" as I proposed in my newest book, 9 Presidents Who Screwed Up America? Simple. He continually and willfully violated his oath of office dozens of times as President, setting a dangerous precedent for those that followed. I discuss specific violations in detail. http://learntruehistory.com

Episode 27: Read, Read, Read Jun 13, 2016

Show notes

What are the best books on the "War"? I am often asked this question, so I provide the answer along with some other nuggets. Hint: You won't find these books on any modern graduate level seminar reading list. They aren't PC or "fashionable." That means they are good. http://learntruehistory.com

Episode 26: We Don't Need You Jun 08, 2016

Show notes

Young people are an interesting bunch. Some have decided to support a crusty old socialist because he promises to "change" the economic system in America; others need safe spaces; still others have decided that they "don't need" the government. Which group is correct? Find out in Episode 26. http://learntruehistory.com

Episode 25: The Destructive Political Left Jun 06, 2016

Show notes

Episode 25: The Destructive Political Left by Brion McClanahan

Episode 24: The Electoral College Jun 02, 2016

Show notes

The National Popular Vote Initiative has been gaining steam and is close to being implemented. What would it do? Eliminate the Electoral College. I explain why this is a very bad idea and why the Electoral College was created in the first place. http://learntruehistory.com

Episode 23: Think Locally, Act Locally May 31, 2016

Show notes

Many Americans feel helpless about the current state of American society. Politicians are corrupt, the leviathan in Washington D.C. is out of control, and they don't know how to combat what appears to be a social, political, and economic death spiral. The solution? Think locally, act locally.

Episode 22: Article V and the States May 24, 2016

Show notes

The States have the ultimate power in the American political system. The Constitution makes that clear. I discuss how the States could control the general government and what needs to be done to kneecap the federal monster in Washington D.C. http://learntruehistory.com

Episdoe 21: The 1896 Election May 18, 2016

Show notes

A listener requested episode. I discuss the relevancy of the 1896 election to current politics and why we should pay attention to the late nineteenth century. It's all current events. http://brionmcclanahan.com http://learntruehistory.com
