Ep. 710: Delegitimizing the Presidency Sep 27, 2022

Show notes

Joe Biden and Donald Trump have accomplished the unthinkable. The endless investigations into the Trump administration and Biden's bumbling efforts have forced Americans on both sides of the political spectrum to think the executive office is illegitimate. Good. This should have happened long ago.

Ep. 709: God Save the (American) King? Sep 26, 2022

Show notes

The funeral for Queen Elizabeth II last week reminded me of several recent trends in America: 1) the elevation of the American president to an elected king, and 2) the growing desire from some conservatives to have an "American monarchy" based on American "nationalism." Like most conservatives, I enjoyed watching the pomp and circumstance from the Elizabeth II's funeral, but it was not American and more importantly was specifically rejected by the founding generation. I discuss the interest in an American monarchy on this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Ep. 708: Should We Call Another Constitutional Convention? Sep 22, 2022

Show notes

Should the States invoke an Article V Convention? There are those on the left and right who say no, but the idea has gained some traction among conservatives. I am not opposed to it, and the arguments against it are blind to our current political climate.

Ep. 707: What "Legitimacy" Means to Leftists Sep 21, 2022

Show notes

Leftists like Jennifer Rubin are twisted into knots over recent Supreme Court decisions. You see, "legitimate" decisions are those they agree with. Anything conservatives do on the Court is "partisan hackery." That's what the right said about the Court for decades. These people have no self-awareness.

Ep. 706: The $62 Million War on Monuments Sep 20, 2022

Show notes

The results are in. It will cost American taxpayers $62 million to change the names of several U.S. military installations and purge the United States military of all "evil" Confederates. This includes the beautiful monument to Confederate dead at Arlington National Cemetery. Can you say stupid?

Ep. 705: "Equity" vs. Genius Sep 19, 2022

Show notes

The new catchphrase of the left is "equity." Gone are the days when "equality" would suffice. That is now considered "racist." Nothing short of "equity," meaning the complete leveling of society, is desirable. As Anthony Esolen explains in a recent article at Chronicles, "flattening the mountains" does not create anything but a desert.

Ep. 704: VD Hanson's Selective History Sep 15, 2022

Show notes

Our old friend VD Hanson is at it again. While I agree with much of what he has to say in a recent piece at American Greatness, his "history" suffers from YSRDD, or Yankee Self Righteous Delusional Disorder.

Ep. 703: The Problem with "Conservative Nationalism" Sep 14, 2022

Show notes

Many American conservatives have embraced "nationalism" as the remedy for modern political problems. This has been fueled, in part, by two conservative intellectuals, Yoram Hazony and Adrian Vermeule. But what if their "solutions" were little more than the problem itself?

Ep. 702: Is Originalism "Dangerous"? Sep 13, 2022

Show notes

Yes, says a Dean at a prominent West Coast law school. Why? Because it might undermine everything the left has (unconstitutionally) gained over the last half century through a misuse of the federal court system.

Ep. 701: What is the Greatest Threat to American "Democracy"? Sep 12, 2022

Show notes

President Brandon tells us MAGA voters are the greatest threat to America. Is that true? No. So what is? Jack Cashill has a very politically incorrect answer.
