“Founders” is a term that we typically use to refer to just a few men–usually the first four Presidents of the United States, plus Ben Franklin and–nowadays–Alexander Hamilton. We think of them as typical representatives of their age, which produced civic saints of wisdom and service to the new nation.  We don't usually think about the other Founders, all those men and women who created the institutions, the politics, and the culture of the new republic–from Richard Allen to Judith Sargent Murray to John Jay. And we certainly don't consider that an age which considered people like Washington to be heroic had points of contrast–the “many unscrupulous figures who violated the era's expectation of public virtue and advanced their own interests at the expense of others.” Think of them as America's Founding Scoundrels, whose plots and cons ended up shaping the nation sometimes as much as did the plans and hard work of the institution-builders.   David Head and Timothy J. Hemmis are the co-editors of a new book A Republic of Scoundrels: The Schemers, Intriguers, and Adventurers Who Created a New Nation. Timothy Hemmis is an associate professor of history at Texas A&M University Central Texas, where his teaching focuses on Early American History and American Military History. David Head is history professor at the University of Central Florida, and the author of A Crisis of Peace: George Washington, the Newburgh Conspiracy, and the Fate of the American Revolution, which he and I discussed in Episode 145 of the podcast.   For Further Investigation I've previously on the podcast talked with Lorri Glover about "Founders as Fathers"; and we've also discussed the legal history of treason in the American Revolution with Carlton Larson. The following resources have all been suggested by David and Tim.

What You Need to Know is we should embrace the spirit of exploration. Mike Cernovich asked why so many seem to celebrate the death of five folks in the Titanic sub? I agree — why hate on those who can afford to explore? Adventurism is core to the American spirit! What isn't American is fomenting hatred on social media against anyone wealthy or letting Big Media repeat one interest story ad nauseum to distract from other real news.  John Schlafly, coauthor of the weekly Schlafly Report column, discusses Greg Abbott's vetoing of more than 75 bills, most of which were sponsored by conservative Texas state senators. Abbott's vetoes were determined by the authors and sponsors of the bills rather than the merit of their content. His actions are going to have a huge negative impact on the Republican Party. Go to the full archives of the Schlafly Report column. Andrew Good, Aide-de-camp to Numbers USA CEO, talks about their participation at the Western Conservative Summit and the growing awareness of immigration concerns. He says we have to face the impact of uncontrolled immigration. Andrew highlighted the importance of engaging in broader discussions beyond left media framing, and expressed optimism about the increasing engagement of young people, despite ongoing border challenges.

The North Carolina Supreme Court rejected a partisan gerrymandered congressional map drawn to heavily favor Republicans last year. The map violated the state's constitution. The North Carolina legislature is now arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court whether the state legislature has the authority to override the court and ignore its own constitution. The case, Moore v. Harper, raises the prospect of the independent state legislature theory — a fringe theory that, if the Supreme Court rules in favor of, would give state legislatures unfettered authority, remove checks and balances, and undermine future elections. In the second episode of Dissent, host Jordan Smith and Elizabeth Wydra of the Constitutional Accountability Center closely examine oral arguments and unpack how a favorable or even a middle-ground ruling would radically change elections.If you'd like to support our work, go to theintercept.com/join — your donation, no matter what the amount, makes a real difference.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan continues to destabilize the area around Turkey, breaching the borders of Greece, threatening to invade northern Syria, and waging a proxy war against Armenia. To stop this reckless adventurism, American activists and policy experts are using grassroots mobilization and government outreach to stand up to Turkish aggression. What are the successes and failures of this effort? What are current trends?

Adrian Boutureira (https://rb.gy/gij2bo) joins us to discuss the epic failure of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan from the beginning. It was never intended to fight freedom. We also get into the U.S. interventionist past and its attachment of lying us into it. Name a country, since 1950 the U.S. has made better? The U.S. will take theocratic fascists over benevolent socialists every day if it means 2 more points on the stock market. Adrian Boutureira Sansberro has an extensive history of activism in Central and South America, as well as the U.S. He's been instrumental in the last several Green Party presidential campaigns as well as a key advisor to 2020 Green Party candidate, Howie Hawkins.

Using Charles Kupchan and Peter Trubowitz's Foreign Affairs article "Why an Internationalist Foreign Policy Needs a Stronger Domestic Foundation" as a basis for discussion, Chris, Zack, and Melanie sit down to talk about President Joe Biden's "foreign policy for the middle class." Who, exactly, is in the "middle class"? Are certain positions on foreign policy pro- or anti-middle class? Is there a connection between the domestic programs the administration is pushing and a better foreign policy? Is it possible to evaluate whether our foreign policy is working for the average American? Zack gives a shoutout to people who can disagree on important issues and still be friends, Melanie wishes the people who make the rules would follow them, and Chris praises two scholars for a new report on Taiwan.   Links Daniel Drezner, "Real Talk about a Foreign Policy for the Middle Class," Washington Post, May 20, 2021 Charles A.

It appears that Israel and the US want a war with Iran one way or another as Iran’s top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh-Mahavadi was assassinated early Friday morning. Iran has vowed “severe revenge” against whoever perpetrated the attack and have also warned the US and Israel against any adventures during Trump’s (supposed) final days in office.

A fascinating conflict is brewing between Turkey and France. Despite Turkey's broken economy, Recep Tayyip Erdogan is also making a risky bid for pan-Islamic leadership with just one vocal ally, Imran Khan. In episode 604 of #CutTheClutter, Shekhar Gupta explains this unlikely conflict within NATO.

Bet you didn’t know that Governor Newsom of California and President Trump are best pals? The President was in California touring the fires and while at a press conference, Newsom lightly poked at the president about climate change perhaps being the cause of the devastating fires in the Golden State. To which Trump shot back... "I don't think science knows actually." So the following day, the press were not happy with Newsom and called him out... to which the governor responded... “I develop good personal relationships. We maintain a strong personal relationship with the vice president. We maintain a strong personal relationship with the president,” Newsom said. “There’s not one phone call that I have made to the president where he hasn’t quickly responded, and almost in every instance, he has responded favorably in addressing the emergency needs of this state.” I would not want to be at Thanksgiving Dinner with Nancy Pelosi and Gavin Newsom - you do know they’re kind of related, yes? Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, Joe Biden went deep into the ‘Wheat Fields', accusing Trump of ignoring a "central crisis" facing the nation. Biden was calling Trump a “climate arsonist” while he was swatting away insects from his neck, and giant creature type bugs crawling across his shoulder. "If you give a climate denier four more years in the White House, why would anyone be surprised when more of America is underwater?" This podcast on ‘The Voice of a Nation’ is one for the ages. You will be educated big time on climate change and highly entertained as Malcolm cuts loose, as he welcomes his two expert guests. Jay Lehr, Ph.D. is Senior Policy Analyst with the International Climate Science Coalition and former Science Director of The Heartland Institute. Tom Harris is Executive Director of the Ottawa, Canada-based International Climate Science Coalition.

Turkey is increasingly intervening militarily in the territories of several of its Middle East neighbours, while relations with other regional players are souring. This is in stark contrast to their “zero problems with neighbouring countries” strategy of only a decade ago. Turkish affairs analysts Dr Tezcan Gümüş and Iain MacGillivray discuss Turkey’s motives in its new foreign policy direction, and examine the economic and political costs of interventionism.

The Fall of Arms Control and Chinese Adventurism by Si Vis Pacem

The Middle East and North Africa have become a battleground for competing camps seeking to fill a power vacuum left behind by multiple conflicts and the toppling of longtime rulers. But few countries have intervened more forcefully and with deadly effect than the United Arab Emirates. Crown Prince Mohamed bin Zayed has used his country’s vast oil wealth to fund warlord Khalifa Haftar in Libya against the UN-backed government while also engaging in the Saudi-led conflict in Yemen. So, what’s driving Abu Dhabi’s adventurism in the region? Guests: Mehmet Ogutcu Former Turkish Diplomat Mahjoob Zweiri Gulf Studies Programme Director at Qatar University

One of Australia’s best-known public intellectuals, Clive Hamilton, Professor of Public Ethics, Charles Sturt University speaks about his recently published book “Silent Invasion” in which he outlines China’s interference in the political discourse in Australia, through the use of tied funding, covert and overt acts of interference.

In his new book, Adventurism and Empire: The Struggle for Mastery in the Louisiana-Florida Borderlands, 1762-1803 (University of North Carolina Press, 2015), David Narrett explores the international political and diplomatic competition for control of the Old Southwest. His book begins with the conclusion of the French and Indian War and follows the story until the Louisiana Purchase secured the area for the United States. It superbly illustrates the weak control exerted by Britain, France, and Spain over the Louisiana-Florida borderlands during the last half of the eighteenth century. It also highlights the fragile ties between Anglo-Americans in the region and the newly independent United States. In doing so, Narrett introduces a rogues' gallery of schemers and adventurers who operated below the radar, ready to do whatever it took to further their private ends. He also ably covers the diplomatic machinations of imperial and American officials as they tried to make good their claims to lands between the southern Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River. George Milne, the host of this podcast is an associate professor of history at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. He specializes in Native American, Colonial, and Atlantic World history. His book Natchez Country, Indians, Colonists, and the Landscapes of Race in French Louisiana was published by the University of Georgia Press in 2015.

Fantasies eventually have to turn to sour to reveal the true way forward. Transgression, Adventurism and pushing the boundaries of one's own psychology are a central piece of the hero's journey. So this episode dives deep into the gutter where one becomes unsure if they belong there or will make it back to tell a decent story. In the beginning, we experiment on the way towards knowledge and then the lust for adventure can consume us. The cast is named after the great Fugs song "I Want to Know" and preaches the exploratory gospel of those like Baudelaire, Burroughs and Buddha who wanted to use themselves like a Petri dish to achieve the higher benefits of alchemy.
