Ep. 919: Civil War Caused by Slaver Democrats? 11.01.2024

Ep. 918: Historians Peddle Leftism Instead of History 10.01.2024

A battle in Texas over history books between academics and amateurs shows the real fault line in the history wars. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https:// patreon.com/TheBrionMcClanahanShow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Ep. 917: Biden's 1850s Speech 09.01.2024

Biden gave his first "campaign speech" of 2024, and it was just as bad as the rhetoric of the 1850s. This is dangerous. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://patreon.com/TheBrionMcClanahanShow https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Ep. 916: Did the South Keep Lincoln Off the Ballot? 04.01.2024

This is a common myth: The South kept Lincoln off the ballot in 1860. Nope. Republicans kept Lincoln off the ballot in the South in 1860. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://⁠patreon.com/TheBrionMcClanahanShow⁠ https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Ep. 915: Did Barack Obama Predict the End of America? 03.01.2024

Ep. 914: Will the Supreme Court Destroy the Tax Code? 02.01.2024

A pending Supreme Court case could upend the entire tax code. This might be wishful thinking, but it does raise several Constitutional questions. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Ep. 913: Why Has the College Degree Lost Its Value? 14.12.2023

A recent poll suggested that close to 50% of large corporations are dropping the requirement for a college degree for many positions. Why? https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Ep. 912: A Dictator in the White House? 13.12.2023

The establishment is worried about a "dictator in the White House" should Trump win in 2024. The sad fact of the matter is that we've had one for over 150 years. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Ep. 911: Thomas Jefferson, Conservative 12.12.2023

Was Thomas Jefferson a conservative? And what does that actually mean? This is a big question. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Ep. 910: It's Your Fault 07.12.2023

Inflation is your fault. American foreign policy disasters are your fault. And the destruction of "democracy" is your fault, at least according to the establishment. This is the new normal. https://mcclanahanacademy.com httsp://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Ep. 909: Texas Secession! 06.12.2023

Texas secession is on the docket, at least for the Texas GOP. This is a major development but one that also has many hurdles. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Ep. 908: An Oregon Judge Gets it Right! 05.12.2023

An Oregon judge used the Oregon Constitution to knock down an unconstitutional gun control law, and the Left hates it. This is exactly the way federalism should work. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Ep. 907: Will This Case Destroy the Federal Government? 30.11.2023

One can dream, but one leftist law professor worries that a case before the Supreme Court could destroy the federal government. The horror! https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Ep. 906: Is This the Best Endorsement of Republicans in Congress? 29.11.2023

Congress isn't doing anything, and as a result, dozens of members are retiring. The horror! What an odd endorsement of the Republican Party. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Ep. 905: An Activist Historian's Bad Take on "Insurrection" 28.11.2023

What do you know, another activist historian has a bad take on "insurrection". These people suffer so badly from TDS and crave power so much that they cannot help but butcher the term or mask their real motivation in pursuing the charge. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Ep. 904: Are Progressives "Liberal"? 22.11.2023

In the 1990s, "liberal" became a negative term and as a result, those who used to call themselves "liberals" started using the word "progressive." But are liberals progressive and are progressives liberal? And who gets to define the term? https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Ep. 903: Has the Middle Class Been Forgotten? 21.11.2023

Has the middle class been forgotten? Is it better off today than 30 years ago? How do we measure middle class prosperity or comfort? And what about the culture war? https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com http://learntruehistory.com

Ep. 902: Were the Anti-Federalists Right? 16.11.2023

The Anti-Federalists made several correct predictions about the United States Constitution, but we should be careful about how we frame their prognostications. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Ep. 901: Why Don't Americans Want to Join the Military? 15.11.2023

The United States military is facing a recruitment crisis. Why? Surprisingly, Newsweek has a right answer. But it also asks the wrong questions. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Ep. 900: African Founders and Albion's Seed 14.11.2023

Professor David Hackett Fischer's latest book, "African Founders", is an updated look at antebellum American culture. I explain why you need to read it. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Ep. 899: The Most Important Question for Presidential Candidates 10.11.2023

The President of the United States has one primary job: foreign policy. That's why it should be the only question asked during any "presidential debate." https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Ep. 898: The Turning Point in the American Order? 08.11.2023

Did the smelting of the Robert E. Lee monument in Virginia last week represented a turning point in the American order? Yes and no, but it certainly showed what the left hopes to accomplish. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com

Ep. 897: The 14th Amendment Disqualification? 07.11.2023

Can Donald Trump be disqualified for office by the 14th Amendment? A pending case in Colorado seeks to answer the question. Of course, it will probably be wrong, particularly if the judge listens to the "experts," but this is an important question. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
