We will tune in to the local coverage in both states as we hear the reactions of the crowd...

Send us Fan Mail The SS United States once sailed mightily across the Atlantic. She set the transatlantic sailing speed record , which still stands today, only using 2/3 of her power.  She was once majestic, powerful, and one of the most luxurious vessels of its time.  But time has passed. The jet airplane cut transatlantic travel from days to hours. The need for such sea faring vessels disappeare...

Send us Fan Mail To start off the fall campaign in early September 1992, Bill Clinton arrives at the Detroit Economic Club to talk about his economic plan and how it will affect Michigan.

Send us Fan Mail We start in this episode the look at late August and all of September as the two major figures in the race battle it out for the only time all alone.  Starting with this episode we will feature rallies of both President Bush and Governor Bill Clinton. This episode will look back at President Bush as he starts out in Connecticut and then heads to Florida. You will get to hear the P...

Send us Fan Mail It is time to kick off the fall campaign. In this first month of campaigning we get the only time the two principles in the race faced each other head to head. Ross Perot would rejoin the fray in October. So, in the next few episodes we let you watch the 1992 campaign unfold between President George H. W. Bush and Governor Bill Clinton, in the only time period in which they had th...

Send us Fan Mail In this special edition we honor two very different but very special people, Stuart Spencer and Bob Ueker.  Stuart Spencer was an advisor to Ronald Reagan going back to his earliest days in politics. He helped guide Reagan to the California Governor’s Mansion and then on to the White House. In the time between, he also ended up working with President Gerald Ford to fend off a chal...

Send us Fan Mail The tension is in the air on the final night of the Republican National Convention in 1992. The speech is do or die for President George H.W. Bush. It occurs just a week after he has brought back in his top advisor James Baker. He needs to show focus and the will to win.  He does what he had to do and comes out of the Convention having shrunk the Clinton lead but still behind.  We...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode we take you through the events of three of the days of the Republican National Convention as George Bush prepares to take the stage and address the nation.  He is greeted by hecklers at a Houston event who snuck in as reporters from an AIDS activist group. But the President and the crowd handle it fairly well. Despite all the issues that seemed to have beset the ca...

Send us Fan Mail This is a speech delivered just barely in Primetime that slipped into the 11pm hour. Arguably the single biggest mistake ever made by schedulers in the history of prime time political conventions.  It is from day 1 of the 1992 Republican National Convention. It was a convention that had a lot of political battles in it between the conservative wing and the establishment wing of th...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode we tune in to the first days of the 1992 Republican National Convention. We will go first to the morning session and hear from a list of Republican candidates for Congress as they try to "Bounce the House" after the Democrats get themselves in gulfed in a house banking scandal where several of the members bounced hundreds of the thousands of dollars in ch...

Send us Fan Mail This special Edition of our podcast , is a look back at two of our favorite motion pictures, "Casablanca" , and "Havana", just in time for "Casablanca" to be making its reappearance on the Silver Screen over the next week at theaters all across the nation.  The Flashback Theater Series will be featuring the picture at various theaters around the count...

Send us Fan Mail It is just days before the Republican National Convention and the campaign of George H. W. Bush is losing, badly. It appears unfocused and seems to be reacting to events instead of controlling them or leading them. The worsening economy has the argument for change being made by Bill Clinton stronger with each passing day. Finally, Ross Perot decided to withdraw and did so on the l...

Send us Fan Mail In our second episode in our final installment in our special series, Farewells and Welcomebacks, we follow Donald Trump during the rest of his historic first day back in office.  We will hear from the Vice President and President as they address supporters in the Capitol Welcome Center. Then we will head over to the Capitol One Center , that I had to watch from the Mission Bar si...

Send us Fan Mail This begins our final two episodes in our Farewell and Welcome back special series.  We were invited to come up for the Inauguration of Donald Trump and had planned to do a Facebook Live broadcast and interviews live from Washington D.C. Unfortunately, it got seriously cold.  I am a southerner, I mean seriously cold.  That changed everything and while we did do some recording it w...

Send us Fan Mail This is the final night of the 1992 Democratic National Convention and there is only one star of this show. We start out with the CNN Documentary "The Road to the White House 1992" as it fills you in on the events of that day and then we listen in on one of the best films ever produced for a Presidential nominee. "The Man from Hope" put together by Linda and Ha...

Send us Fan Mail As we take off into a new era of American History , I thought it might be interesting to look back at a few of the highlights from a historic week in Washington and look back at the three Presidents this week centered on.  1. Jimmy Carter - We pay tribute to a great man in former President Jimmy Carter, who passed away at age 100 at the very end of 2024 2. Joe Biden - We listen in...

Send us Fan Mail We ran out of time in our last episode but felt that both of these segments were worthy of being chronicled in our series looking back at the 1992 election.  The first is the full press conference of Ross Perot as he withdrew from the 1992 election. It was a move that to this day makes no sense to me as to why he did it. He had been in first place and while he had slipped in the p...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode we listen in on one of the great public speakers of the Democratic Party, New York Governor Mario Cuomo.  He will deliver the nominating speech for Governor Bill Clinton and he will electrify the crowd as only he can do. In fact, what stands out is that most of the delegates in the hall, who are way more liberal than your average Democrat, really would have preferr...

Send us Fan Mail On this final day of the administration of the 46th President of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr, we will look back at his Life and Career, and his final week as President of the United States.  It began in 1972, when our Host Randal Wallace, was only a year and a half old, and it would continue unabated for the next 52 years. A remarkable run for any political figur...

His Lifetime Achievement Award from the Clinton Foundation given to him by F...

Send us Fan Mail This is our tribute to the 39th President of the United States. This episode features highlights from the State Funeral last week of the former President , interspersed with segments of his life in his own words, or from the coverage of the day, with music from the State funeral in the background.  This is truly the end of an era for our host Randal Wallace as Jimmy Carter has bee...

Send us Fan Mail This is a second part we added to our tribute to President Jimmy Carter that ran yesterday. The episode we put together to start with was already 1 hour and 47 minutes long after editing it down,  so we had to decide what to cut from the program. After making the edits we came to the conclusion that we had another episode that really needed to be shared.  This is that episode and...
