Ep. 846: Biden's Strange Understanding of American History 03.07.2023 32:37
The Biden administration has a public enemy, and it's not the Supreme Court. It's the Confederacy and Jefferson Davis. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 845: Did the "Confederate Diaspora" Cause American Racism? 29.06.2023 33:28
According to a few "scholars" and one political pundit, the Confederate diaspora to the West after the War caused American racism, or at the very minimum institutionalized it. This history is just as bad as Mark Levin's fairy tale. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 844: Could Lincolnian Nationalism Save America? 28.06.2023 33:07
You probably know my answer, but there are conservatives who think Lincoln is the path to follow. This is outrageous. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 843: Mark Levin is Really Bad at History 27.06.2023 40:42
Mark Levin has a new book, "The Democrat Party Hates America," and as you would expect it will be short on history and long on hyperbole. Oh, and it will canonize St. Abraham. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 842: I'm Confused About This Federal Holiday 26.06.2023 32:03
What exactly are we celebrating on June 19? If you listen to the left, they will tell you, and it isn't the end of slavery. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 841: Is Trump's Indictment Good for the Republican Party? 22.06.2023 23:39
One politico thinks Trump's indictment will actually help the GOP in 2024. Don't buy it, but he does make some interesting arguments. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 840: Why Has Liberalism "Failed" and What Do We Do About It? 21.06.2023 31:38
Patrick Deneen argues liberalism has failed. He also provides a centralized prescription for the problem that sounds a lot like the Southern tradition absent the Southern part and the most important component, federalism. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 839: Why is Every Crisis in America a Constitutional Crisis? 20.06.2023 26:54
It seems that every political issue in the United States instantly becomes a "constitutional crisis." Why? It has more to do with our ignorance of American political and constitutional history than any major "issue." https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 838: Activist Historian Explains June 19, Sort Of 19.06.2023 34:50
What are we celebrating on June 19? Is it the end of slavery? Is it African-American history? Or are we to celebrate at all? Should it be a day of reflection? Guilt? Shame? Anger? Not even leftist activists masquerading as historians know what to do. If they are perplexed, should we be perplexed? https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 837: Can Calhoun Save America? 15.06.2023 33:40
The New American recently published a piece arguing that Calhoun's views on government and economy could save America. This is a stunning piece, because The New American has always been more interested in Hamiltonian Nationalism than Southern republicanism. Times change. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 836: What is Post World War II American Conservatism? 14.06.2023 39:26
Defining Post World War II American conservatism is a difficult task, as a new book on the subject explains. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 835: DeSantis, RFK, Jr., and "Lincoln Conservatives 13.06.2023 34:17
According to one Ron DeSantis staffer, if you don't like Lincoln, you aren't a "conservative." The stupidity is priceless. At the same time, what are we to think of RFK, Jr.? Should "conservatives" support his candidacy? https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 834: A Trump Judge Throws Out the Constitution 12.06.2023 28:47
A Trump appointed judge declared a Tennessee law restricting drag shows to be unconstitutional. This is exactly how the opponents of the Constitution warned it would be used. This isn't "conservative" or "originalist." https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 833: Will Trump Go Third Party? 08.06.2023 28:39
This is THE question of 2024 if Trump does not get the Republican nomination. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 832: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Power 07.06.2023 34:16
What is driving the establishment agenda for both parties? Power. Democrats get away with hypocrisy because we don't have accountability, but the real issue in America is and has always been Power. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 831: Progressives Want to Gut the Supreme Court to Save "Democracy" 06.06.2023 38:39
In what might be the most ironic twist of modern American politics, progressives now view the Supreme Court as the enemy of their agenda. They wouldn't have an agenda without it, but now they want to tear down the federal court system. Hilarious. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 830: History is Dead 05.06.2023 31:32
Why is it so hard to teach history, or better yet, why don't young people know any history? The answer is simple. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 829: What if Calhoun "Won" on the Constitution? 01.06.2023 34:38
What if John C. Calhoun's positions on the Constitution "won" the debate? What would America look like today? https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 828: The Trillion Dollar Coin 31.05.2023 29:33
Can a trillion dollar coin save the United States budget? No, though some people want to try it. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 827: We Have a [Raw] Deal! 30.05.2023 31:15
King Biden and the Speaker McCarthy have reached a raw deal. I predicted this last week, and while specifics are lacking, big centralized government won. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 826: These 11 Songs are Heretical to Woke Religion 29.05.2023 31:38
If you didn't think wokism is a religion, just look at how these 11 songs are classified by a writer at the Readers Digest. Listening to them makes you a heretic. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 825: The Real Reason for the Arlington Confederate Monument 25.05.2023 38:41
Political activists like Ty Seidule and Erin Thompson will tell you that the Arlington Confederate Monument was erected for "racism" and to tell a "distorted" history of the South. Is this true? No, but don't just take my word for it. The men who dedicated it told you why it was constructed. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntrueh...
Ep. 824: Can Biden Raise the Debt Ceiling? 23.05.2023 32:09
Joe Biden thinks he can use the 14th Amendment to raise the debt ceiling. Is this correct? No, but in our age of executive government, anything is possible. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 823: Is Joe Biden "Defending Freedom"? 17.05.2023 33:09
Joe Biden wants Americans to know he is defending freedom, unlike Republicans who want to take away freedom. This is the product of the cultural differences that have existed in North America since the 17th century. How we define "freedom" often depends on where we call home. https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
Ep. 821: Is Biden's "War on Civility" Destroying America? 15.05.2023 32:59
If you believe in the Lincolnian myth of American history, then modern America is the exception rather than the rule. In other words, America has long been a politically civil place even in difficult times. Is this true? https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com
