The Brion McClanahan Show

American corruption has rivaled Rome for years, but it has become clear that America is becoming Rome. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

A new poll finds that a "slim majority" of Americans want to preserve Confederate history. What does this mean? (Note: Episode is mostly audio only because of technical problems). https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Modern communists would like you to forget about the Cambodian Killing Fields. You shouldn't. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

The new book and documentary by the Abbeville Institute take aim at the most destructive political myth in America: the "Proposition Nation". https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

The left thinks MAGA is the Confederacy. The right thinks the Democrats are the Confederacy. Both are stupid. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahan.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

As usual, David French is wrong about the Constitution and the latest SCOTUS decision. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

SCTOUS has a new "gun rights" decision. It's an 8-1 mess but great Podcast fodder. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Jamelle Bouie thinks Samuel Alito gets one thing right: America is facing irreconcilable differences. But he also thinks that a Supreme Court Justice making political statements is odd and a threat to "democracy". As usual, he misses the point. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Two leftist professors think conservatives have changed the meaning of political parties. How? By playing the same game as the left. That's not what they argue, but it's the truth. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Who is the quintessential Republican? Is there a historical example? Yes to both, and it might just be William H. Taft. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

The Washington Post worries that Trump will be a dictator in the White House. But they have not worried about that with Biden, or Obama, or anyone else. They should, because Trump would be a symptom of the disease. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

You have probably heard about political violence in the 1850s and 1860s, but did you know that Republicans did most of it? In fact, some of these people were Lincoln's terrorists. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

In 2013, Mark Levin called for an Article V Convention and a series of "Liberty Amendments." This is great and it became popular. Of course, just a few years before this, he spent a lot of time bad mouthing, name calling, and railing against the very same thing. Mark Levin has always been bad at history. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://bri...

When will "conservatives" figure out that if they rely on 19th century Republicans to defend their positions, they will eventually sound like 21st century leftists? https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Thinking locally and acting locally can win. The Texas GOP added a "concurrent majority" resolution to their State platform. As expected, the left is going nuts. So what? https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

A New York jury found Trump guilty on 34 counts. At least we think they did. But what does this mean for American politics, and what about its place in American history? https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

A few really interested but often overlooked "Founding Fathers." https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Who were the best Founding Fathers? I got you covered. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Why did Northern men fight? It might have been more practical than you think. I talked about a great book on this topic three years ago, but with Memorial Day coming up, it's a good time to revisit both the book and the why Union men went to war. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

The myth of "Honest" Abe Lincoln can be easily dispelled. I give you one example from his First Inaugural Address. Lincoln lied, all the time. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

No, not the current GOP, though it's the same as Lincoln's GOP. But Lincoln and his cronies did a number on free speech and the free press during the War. Even some Lincoln worshiping historians recognize this. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Perhaps no myth or legend is quite as sensational as the "Underground Railroad." Did it exist and if so, what was it really like? https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Did Nathan Bedford Forrest commit "war crimes" at Fort Pillow in 1864? And was it a "massacre"? The story is quite complex, but you would not know that if you just listened to mainstream historians. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Was Lincoln trying to avoid war at all costs? No. Was Lincoln dragged into the Civil War? No. He had options, even if modern Lincoln worshipers downplay them. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
