Podcasts about Abraham Lincoln

In this November 2022 episode—remastered with updated context—Mandy Matney dissects one of Dick Harpootlian's most shameful pre-trial stunts: publicly insinuating Curtis "Eddie" Smith of being the "real killer" based on a failed polygraph test. Watch Dick spiral through desperate theories—from Eddie to groundskeepers to anyone but Alex—while Creighton Waters finally fights back against the media manipulation. Learn about the crucial evidence: high-velocity impact spatter, Paul's phone video destroying Alex's alibi, and the timeline that placed Alex at the scene. This episode also tackles Judge Carmen Mullen's alleged abuse of power and captures the moment Dick compared himself to... Abraham Lincoln...?With trial just weeks away, Dick's chaos strategy was in full effect. Spoiler: it didn't work. The jury saw through everything within just a few hours of deliberating.

In this episode of The Box of Oddities, JG resurrects one of America's strangest carnival legends: the so-called “Mummy of John Wilkes Booth.” What begins with a mysterious deathbed confession unravels into a 60-year sideshow tour involving embalmed drifters, Civil War conspiracy theories, broken limbs, arsenic preservation, and a carnival circuit that cashed in on America's morbid curiosity. Was the assassin of Abraham Lincoln secretly living under an alias in Texas? Or was his mummified “corpse” just another brilliant piece of ballyhoo? JG digs into eyewitness accounts, bizarre examinations by 1930s physicians, and the odd legacy of Memphis lawyer Finis L. Bates—whose obsession might have created the blueprint for modern macabre tourism. Then, Kat travels to Bern, Switzerland, to explore one of Europe's most unsettling—and surprisingly misunderstood—public monuments: the 16th-century Kindlifresserbrunnen, the “Child-Eater of Bern.” Is this towering baby-devouring ogre a warning rooted in antisemitism? A Renaissance reinterpretation of the Greek titan Cronus? Or simply a nightmare-inducing way to keep children from misbehaving? Kat dives into competing theories, Renaissance symbolism, and the long, strange history of fear-based folklore carved into stone. Stick around for weird Google search stats, existential cat-judgment queries, and why Icelandair may be your gateway to ogre-themed tourism. It's history, horror, hilarity, and human oddness—exactly what you come here for. This Box contains the following ingredients: John Wilkes Booth mummy, Finis L. Bates, David E. George, carnival sideshow history, American oddities, Kindlifresserbrunnen, Child-Eater of Bern, Swiss folklore, Cronus statue, Renaissance sculpture, weird history podcast, bizarre monuments, true oddities.

The Private Eye has long been a fixture of popular culture - from Sherlock Holmes, to Philip Marlowe, to Jessica Fletcher. But behind the fictional detectives lies a real figure whose influence shaped the very idea of the private investigator: Allan Pinkerton. After fleeing Scotland for the US under murky circumstances in the mid-1800s, he reinvented himself as a crime fighter and founded America's first detective agency. Soon, his name was everywhere. His agents guarded trains, infiltrated gangs, and uncovered a plot to kill a president.   But how did a poor Scottish immigrant build a private army more powerful than the police? How did his methodologies shape surveillance, and influence the foundations of the FBI? And what happened when his agents went head-to-head with legendary outlaws like Jesse James or Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? This is a Short History Of The Pinkerton Detective Agency.

Send us a textStart here if you've ever wondered what to do with a “good day.” We open with gratitude and a simple challenge learned in a freezing boot camp line: when you're steady, scan for the person struggling more and lift them up. That mindset reframes pain, builds courage, and quietly rewires how communities heal. From there we root relationships in scripture, not trends, exploring Titus on temperate elders, reverent mentors, and homes shaped by love, self-control, and sound speech.We then walk through 1 John to connect belief, love, and obedience. The message lands with weight: God's children don't make a practice of sin. Falling is human; forming a habit is deadly. Assurance isn't vague comfort—it's knowing the Son and keeping His commands. We talk about prayer that aims at God's will, why answers often arrive in forms that stretch us, and how intercession restores rather than excuses. The call is to guard our hearts from idols and cling to Christ with a steady, repentant loyalty.Midway, we honor Specialist Michael R. Blanchfield, who threw himself on a grenade to save others—a story that cuts through noise and clarifies what real love costs. We also read Civil War Thanksgiving proclamations from Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, reflecting on gratitude, national sin, and the sobering work of repentance. The thread tying it all together is service: serve God first, serve your family with integrity, and serve neighbors by carrying their load when you can.

The Bothamley Murder MysteryJump to the AD-FREE Safe House EditionEpisode 37 is the story of an 1883 murder that appeared in newspapers across the country in 1905 as "The Bothamley Murder Mystery" under the byline of Captain Patrick D. Tyrrell, who at that time had retired from a career as a detective in the United States Secret Service. His job was mainly to hunt down counterfeiters, but he achieved some fame when he foiled a plot to steal the body of Abraham Lincoln, a case I hope to take up in a future episode. He wrote this and other stories in a syndicated newspaper feature titled “Stories of the Secret Service”.Hear more stories about FEMMES FATALEBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-historian--2909311/support.You can pay more if you want to, but rent at the Safe House is still just a buck a week, and you can get access to over 400 ad-free episodes from the dusty vault, Safe House Exclusives, direct access to the Boss, and whatever personal services you require.We invite you to our other PULPULAR MEDIA podcasts:If disaster is more your jam, check out CATASTROPHIC CALAMITIES, telling the stories of famous and forgotten tragedies of the 19th and 20th centuries. What could go wrong?

This week's episode of Hotel Bar Sessions brings political theorist Laura K. Field (author of Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right) into the bar to talk about the intellectuals cranking the rhetoric up to eleven while insisting they're just “doing Great Books.” We follow the trail from Straussian seminar rooms and conservative think tanks to Trump rallies and “no kings” protests, asking what happens when a self-styled aristocracy of the mind decides liberal democracy is played out.Field guides us through the angry energy behind this movement, the “furious minds” driving it, and why she turns to Aeschylus' treatment of the ancient Furies (in his Oresteia trilogy) and Abraham Lincoln's Dred Scott speech to think about justice, vengeance, and the dangers of sacralizing politics. Along the way we talk MAGA as quasi-religion, liberalism as a way of life, why so many young men are adopting Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life, and what it means to refuse the invitation to become furious.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/furrious-minds---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Podcast on Patreon here!

Send us a textStart with a simple audit: if someone reviewed your last 24 hours, would there be enough evidence to convict you of faith, love, and courage? We open in gratitude and prayer, then press into a hard but hopeful reset—less noise, more truth, and a love that shows up in action. From Proverbs' vision of faithful marriage to a bracing read of 1 John 4, we unpack how to test the spirits, confess Christ clearly, and live a love that casts out fear. No fluff, just the kind of clarity that helps you reframe the day ahead.We bring Scripture into real life with Psalm 123's plea for mercy amid contempt and Proverbs 29's warning that justice steadies a nation while corruption destroys it. History adds weight: the Medal of Honor courage of Robert Blake, an escaped slave who stood his ground under fire, and Abraham Lincoln's 1863 Thanksgiving proclamation calling a divided country to gratitude, repentance, and unity under God. These moments aren't museum pieces; they point to how character, conviction, and prayer change lives and nations.We also face down the false hopes of coercive ideologies, tracing how movements that promise progress often lead to control. The goal isn't outrage; it's discernment and a deeper love that prays for changed hearts while refusing to trade truth for quiet. If your soul has been crowded by hurry, screens, or fear, this conversation offers a practical way back: put God first, honor your marriage and family, serve your neighbor, and stand firm with humility.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs a reset, and leave a quick review.

PARANORMAL: The Ghosts of the White HouseJoin Josh as he steps inside the most famous—and possibly most haunted—house in America: the White House. From the ghost of Abraham Lincoln wandering the halls, to the mysterious “Thing” that terrified staff in 1911, and séances held by Mary Todd Lincoln herself, this mansion holds more than just history.Is the White House simply a reflection of the nation's triumphs and tragedies—or is it something darker? Could centuries of power, death, and grief have turned it into a spiritual hotspot?

Send us a textStart with a simple audit: what did your last 24 hours reveal about what you truly value? We walk through a practical reset—putting God first, then spouse and family—so your calendar aligns with your convictions. From there, we open Colossians 3 for plainspoken marriage guidance and let 1 John 3 challenge our love to become action, not talk. If faith is real, it should shape how we treat our neighbor, how we spend our money, and how we order our homes.We ground today's anxieties in enduring wisdom. Psalm 122 points us toward worship and peace in the city, while Proverbs 29 warns against stubborn hearts that refuse correction. We remember Boatswain's Mate Robert M. Blair, whose Medal of Honor citation for “cool courage” under fire illustrates how trust in God steels ordinary people for extraordinary moments. That courage extends to cultural clarity: despite modern efforts to cast America as a pagan echo of Rome, the moral sources that formed the founders—Scripture, Blackstone, Montesquieu—bear a Christian imprint. Judge Nathaniel Freeman's early remarks reinforce that aim for a Christian republic with biblical authority in civic life.The heart of our reflection is Abraham Lincoln's 1863 Thanksgiving Proclamation. He names blessings amid civil war, urges penitence for national sins, and calls the people to thank the “Most High God” while seeking healing and unity. His words carry weight now, when polarization and moral drift threaten peace. Gratitude without repentance is thin; repentance without action is hollow. We make the case that daily obedience—time well spent, marriages guarded, neighbors loved—becomes the seed of public renewal. Join us as we trade vague outrage for concrete faithfulness and ask God to steady our steps.If this resonates, share the episode with a friend, leave a review, and subscribe so you never miss a moment.

Before Thanksgiving meant turkey dinners and parade floats, it started with one determined woman and a very important letter. In this History-Sode, Auntie Jo Jo tells the story of Sarah Josepha Hale — the author of Mary Had a Little Lamb — who spent 17 years writing to presidents to create a national day of gratitude.Her persistence finally reached Abraham Lincoln, who made Thanksgiving a holiday during one of the hardest times in American history.It's a story about hope, kindness, and how one voice can make a difference.

America is, at its core, a nation founded on ideas, and those ideas have faced criticism, revision, and review over the centuries. Abraham Lincoln, who once said that he didn't have a political idea that didn't spring from the Declaration of Independence, not only reframed the meaning of the Civil War, but also pointed back to America's Founding to assert what America should and could be in the future.The Gettysburg Address is far more than commentary on the Civil War; it was a critique of how America had, by 1863, let down the promise of the Founding, and how she could rediscover herself for a more glorious future.What can we learn from Lincoln today?Host: Jeff SikkengaExecutive Producer: Jeremy GyptonSubscribe: https://linktr.ee/theamericanidea

How unique is Donald Trump's trajectory as a president born of backlash? What should we make of Trump following Barack Obama? Julia Azari finds that backlash presidents like Trump tend to follow transformative presidents like Barack Obama who represent changes to the American racial order. And the backlash presidents commonly face impeachment as they are seen as transgressive figures. She finds parallels in the previous pairings of Andrew Johnson after Abraham Lincoln and Richard Nixon after Lyndon Johnson. It puts Trump, the American presidency, and our racial politics in useful historical context.

I delve into the importance of shifting our thought patterns and embracing a more constructive mindset. Reflecting on a time before the internet, I discuss how scarce access to information made the wisdom I encountered all the more impactful. Today, with an abundance of readily available resources, it's easy to overlook the depth of insight contained within these pieces of advice. My goal is to engage listeners in a slow, thoughtful exploration of how we can apply these lessons in our daily lives.The episode centers on key passages from Al-Anon literature, specifically “Just for Today,” which provides a series of affirmations designed to encourage mindfulness and a focus on the present. I highlight several passages, starting with the reminder to live through the day without becoming overwhelmed by all our problems. This notion is transformative; it encourages breaking down challenges into manageable pieces instead of feeling burdened by life's endless demands. I illustrate how this approach can create a mental space that allows for clearer thinking and creativity, paving the way for inner peace.Moving deeper, I discuss the significance of happiness as an active choice rather than a passive state. The episode affirms Abraham Lincoln's belief that happiness is often a matter of mindset, so I urge listeners to find moments of joy, even amidst challenges. Each suggestion from the "Just for Today" list serves as a prompt for self-reflection, encouraging listeners to consider their own approaches to happiness and contentment in daily life.#AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #JustForToday, #MentalWellness, #HealingJourney, #AlAnon, #AnxietyRelief, #SelfCare, #Mindfulness, #DailyPractice, #PersonalGrowth, #MindsetShift, #LetGoAndLetGod, #InnerPeace, #FindYourCalm, #PeaceOfMind, #EmotionalHealth, #StressManagement, #LiveInThePresent, #Acceptance, #BeUnafraid, #MeditationTime, #QuietHour, #LongFormReading, #MindfulLiving, #SelfCareMatters, #StrengthenYourMind, #ExerciseYourSoul, #KindnessMatters, #ProgressNotPerfection, #RecoveryIsPossible, #OneDayAtATime, #AnxiousMind, #OvercomingAnxiety, #PanicDisorder #GinaRyan #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 6, 2025. 0:30 We take a look at Speaker Mike Johnson's warning that today’s Democratic Party has been overtaken by an ideological movement far removed from its working-class roots. Once the party that called itself the party of the middle class and moderation, Democrats have shifted so sharply to the left that traditional voices are nearly extinct. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi will not run for another term in Congress. The FAA is ordering 40 of the biggest airports in the country to begin restricting flights. The US Supreme Court ruled that the federal government does have the right and the power to insist only biological sex can be listed on US issued passports. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We unpack Ronald Reagan’s iconic declaration that “government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem,” then contrast it with Mamdani’s modern-day claim that “there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.” If you want to see what happens when government tries to solve everything, look at cities like New York, San Franscisco, Chicago, and Portland. Skyrocketing taxes, tent cities, rampant crime, and deepening inequality despite billions in government spending. 16:30 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to the stunning — but not surprising — election of Zoran Mamdani as mayor of New York City. The Mamas discuss the fiery tone of Mamdani’s victory speech, where he quoted socialist figures like Eugene V. Debs rather than American founders, and how his words reflect what they see as a deeper ideological shift in American politics. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We discuss the surge of over 35,000 Americans applying to become “Homeland Defenders” — a new initiative under the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services within the Department of Homeland Security. The goal? Strengthen the nation’s immigration system by ensuring that only those who meet legal standards are granted entry or benefits. 25:30 We Dig Deep into one of the most shocking takeaways from the week’s elections — the erosion of political accountability. We reflect on a time when personal misconduct or moral scandal could end a political career, pointing back to Gary Hart’s downfall in the 1980s as a stark contrast to today. From Zoran Mamdani’s incendiary rhetoric, to Virginia’s new attorney general Jay Jones and his disturbing text messages, to Mikie Sherrill’s Naval Academy cheating scandal, and even an admitted illegal immigrant elected mayor in St. Paul, the discussion paints a picture of a political culture where outrage no longer matters — at least, not for one side of the aisle. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We turn to Clearwater, Kansas, where Mayor Joe Sabalas, a non-citizen permanent resident from Mexico, has not only served as mayor—but was just reelected. Even more troubling, records show he voted illegally in U.S. elections multiple times, leading to felony charges of election perjury and unlawful voting. 35:30 Plus, a new Christianity Today report shows Gen Z now leads all generations in church attendance, and that's a Bright Spot. This hunger for truth and spiritual grounding contrasts sharply with the moral confusion shaping politics and culture. It looks like Gen Z realizes that the next generation’s hope isn’t found in movements or ideologies, but in the gospel itself. 40:00 For the sixth straight month, U.S. Border Patrol has reported zero illegal immigrant releases into the country—a stark contrast to the 150,000–200,000 monthly releases under the Biden administration. Trump looked at all the people coming across the border and said, "Whoa!" 41:30 And we finish off with a story about Abraham Lincoln and a letter that was discovered earlier this year that shows his character.

Send us a textThe Trent Affair With (Chris Lean)In this episode of the American Civil War & UK History podcast, host Daz was joined by fellow reenactor Chris Lean to discuss the Trent Affair.The Trent Affair(1861) was a diplomatic crisis during the American Civil War between the United States and Great Britain. A U.S. Navy ship, the USS San Jacinto, stopped the British mail steamer RMS Trent and captured two Confederate envoys, James Mason and John Slidell, who were on their way to Europe to seek support for the Confederacy. Britain, viewing this as a violation of its neutrality and an affront to its flag, protested angrily and demanded the release of the diplomats. War between the U.S. and Britain seemed possible, but the crisis was defused when President **Abraham Lincoln** released Mason and Slidell, stating that the Union could not afford to fight two wars at once.ACW & UK History's Website.https://darrenscivilwarpag8.wixsite.com/acwandukhistoryACW & UK History's Pages.https://linktr.ee/ACWandUKHISTORYSupport the show

Tennessee Thunder: A Tale of Two Armies by Daniel F Korn https://www.amazon.com/Tennessee-Thunder-Tale-Two-Armies/dp/195919786X Everyone has heard of Gettysburg, but for sheer ferocity of fighting, it is tough to match the horrendous stories of what happened in the fight for Tennessee in the battles of Stones River and Chickamauga. This is the story of two very different armies, and their equally different commanders. The Union Army of the Cumberland, led by the charismatic, but excitable William Starke Rosecrans against the Confederate Army of Tennessee, and its hot-tempered and irascible commander; Braxton Bragg. As 1862 ends, and the birth of a new year of the war looms on the horizon, an end to the bloodletting is nowhere in sight. It was a year that had just seen the April horrific fight at Shiloh, the incredible ineptness of McClellan in the Peninsula /Seven Days Campaign, the September bloodbath known as Antietam, and President Lincoln's launch of a huge gamble in the Emancipation Proclamation, all followed by the near disaster for the Union at Fredericksburg. It would be followed by a year that would see death, destruction, and a level of ferocity in warfare on a scale never before seen on the American continent. Of all the major battles of the Civil War, Stones River had the highest percentage of casualties on both sides. Although the battle itself was inconclusive, the Union Army's repulse of two Confederate attacks and the subsequent Confederate withdrawal were a much-needed boost to Union morale after the defeat at the Battle of Fredericksburg. It dashed Confederate aspirations for control of Middle Tennessee. Names such as the Dragons Teeth, Slaughter Pen, the Round Forest, and the Orphans Brigade would enter the American lexicon. The battle was very important to Union morale, as evidenced by Abraham Lincoln's letter to General Rosecrans: "You gave us a hard-earned victory, which had there been a defeat instead, the nation could scarcely have lived over." The Confederate threat to Kentucky and Middle Tennessee was gone, and Nashville was secure as a major Union supply base for the rest of the war.

Hitler learned genocide from Abraham Lincoln. I'm sure Zohran loves America though. Nice job NYC.After getting busted in a lie that his Aunt wasn't even in NYC during 9/11, and doesn't wear a hijab, Zohran now says it was a distant cousin, not his aunt, who was afraid to wear her hijab in NYC because of 9/11SICK. Democrat Texas State Rep Joland Jones says she's going to come for the "necks" and "wipe out" every Republican: "So if you hit me in my face, I'm not going to punch you back in your face, I'm going to go across your neck ... we need to wipe out every Republican." This is the exact type or rhetoric that got Charlie murdered BY A SHOT TO THE NECK!!“Senator Booker, who continues to endorse a man that called for the murder of Republicans and our kids, seems to have run away before I had the chance to respond to his demand that we tone down the rhetoric.”“She (JK Rowling) believes if you're born a Man then you can't ever become a  -- Woman”“Biologically she's correct, but, when you introduce this level of hate into a Debate then rationality goes out the Window” -- Listen to Labour MP Carolyn Harris make an absolute fool of herself.This woman claims that they are going to “start a war” over federal benefits getting “cut off.”After listening to Gavin Newsom, preach about The Bible and God‘s will, I don't know if I want to laugh hysterically or throw up.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Zohran Mamdani claimed that his aunt stopped taking the NYC subway after 9/11 due to feeling unsafe in her hijab, basically calling New Yorkers bigots. But it turns out his story is false: his aunt lived and worked in Tanzania, never took the NYC subway, and was unaffected. Then you have Mahmood Mamdani, Zohran's father, who teaches anti-Americanism, hate, and terrorism, and claims America originated settler colonialism—exported worldwide, with Abraham Lincoln inspiring Hitler's genocide, concentration camps, and Nuremberg Laws patterned after U.S. laws. This Marxist-Islamist ideology blames America for fascism, imperialism, racism, and bigotry. Mamdani is launching a war on Americanism. It's an effort to destroy the glue that holds the society together. Later, Gov Gavin Newsom is a disaster and is unfit for the presidency. He ruined California —once prosperous, wealthy, low-taxed, law-respecting, with top universities and unmatched beauty—by turning it into a third world-like state through open borders, economic dislocation, massive wealth redistribution and taxation, control by radical environmentalists and teachers unions, wokeism, and cultural destruction. Afterward, Speaker Mike Johnson calls in and rejects the Democrats approach to healthcare, because they have no reform plan and are doubling down on the subsidized, failing Obamacare program, intentionally designed to collapse into single-payer government control. He dismisses Democrat talking points which lack good ideas and aim for total government control over lives. Republicans are the only party with ideas to fix healthcare by making it affordable, accessible, and higher quality. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this special 50 Stars, 50 Stories edition of American Potential, host David From celebrates the great state of Nevada — the Battle Born State — and its enduring legacy of freedom, innovation, and resilience. Joining him is Wiz Rouzard, Deputy State Director for Americans for Prosperity–Nevada, whose passion for his adopted home shines through as he connects Nevada's remarkable history to its growing promise today. Wiz takes us back to 1864, when Nevada entered the Union in the midst of the Civil War, helping to secure President Abraham Lincoln's re-election and strengthen the cause of unity. Known for its rugged mountains, independent spirit, and the motto “All for Our Country,” Nevada's story is one of perseverance and bold self-determination. Fast forward 160 years, and that same Battle Born spirit is driving modern reforms. Wiz shares how his team helped make Nevada an open enrollment state, giving every family the freedom to choose the best public school for their child — no longer bound by ZIP code. He explains new legislation that opens doors for foreign-trained doctors to serve in Nevada communities, addressing healthcare shortages while keeping opportunity alive for skilled professionals. And when Hollywood came calling with a proposal for massive taxpayer-funded film subsidies, Wiz and his team stood firm, ensuring that Nevada remains a beacon for free enterprise — not a playground for corporate handouts. Their success in defeating the film tax plan was a major win for fiscal responsibility and local taxpayers. Throughout the conversation, Wiz also shares how Nevada's Battle Born Blueprint continues to guide their mission — expanding educational choice, championing small businesses, protecting donor privacy, and keeping the Silver State a national example of what's possible when people, not politics, lead the way. From silver mines and desert sunsets to new frontiers in opportunity, this episode celebrates Nevada's past, present, and future — one of America's brightest stars in the constellation of freedom.
