Season 5 - Episode 114 -The CopDoc PodcastEver wondered about the bridge between law enforcement and academia? Today, we take you on a journey with Dr. Mike Birzer, a former sheriff's lieutenant who left and rose to become an esteemed academic at Wichita State University. We talk about his unique career path, shedding light on his teaching in Criminal Justice and the influence of his law enforcement background on his approach to research and teaching.We explore some of the most pressing issues in contemporary policing with Dr. Berzer. We tackle the often overlooked viewpoint of criminals, shedding light on the rich insights this perspective can offer. Highlighting the importance of situational analysis and discretion, we delve into Birzer's work with Paul Cromwell on a book offering criminal perspectives and a current project focusing on differential police response to low-risk, low-harm calls. As we finish our conversation, we delve into the sensitive issue of police reform and community trust, guided by the wisdom of Dr. Birzer. Reflecting on the journey of police reformer, OW Wilson, we contemplate his significant steps to improve the police department and examine how this historical narrative can inform modern practices. The chat focuses light on the reception of law enforcement in academic settings and acknowledges the challenges faced by students in criminal justice departments. We underscore the crucial role of reflective learning and continuing education in shaping future police academies and the burgeoning potential of collaboration between academic institutions and practitioners. Join us, as we uncover the intricate dance between academia and practitioners to chart a promising path for policing.Contact us: copdoc.podcast@gmail.com Website: www.copdocpodcast.comIf you'd like to arrange for facilitated training, or consulting, or talk about steps you might take to improve your leadership and help in your quest for promotion, contact Steve at stephen.morreale@gmail.com

Dr. Bradley Birzer of Hillsdale College The Imaginative Conservative Russell Kirk: American Conservative The post 2783. A Biography of Christopher Columbus – Dr. Bradley Birzer, 10/5/23 first appeared on Issues, Etc..

J.R.R. Tolkien, author of "The Lord of the Rings," calls us to be heroic and to sacrifice for one another, according to the author of a new book on Tolkien's "Sanctifying Myth.""I'm very glad when I look at the numbers of how many books of Tolkien's still sell and that almost anything that is publishable has been published by Tolkien," Bradley Birzer, a history professor and the Russell Amos Kirk chair in American studies at Hillsdale College, tells The Daily Signal.Birzer, who recently published a second edition of his book "J.R.R. Tolkien's Sanctifying Myth: Understanding Middle-Earth," calls Tolkien's enduring popularity "a healthy sign in society.""I don't think society is healthy right now, but I think that's one of the healthier signs of society," he explains. "I think Tolkien teaches us to be ourselves in the best way, to be our authentic selves, to be made in the image of God, to do what we're meant to do. I think he calls upon our uniqueness, each of us made individually in the image of God, and I think he calls us to be heroic.""I think he calls us to sacrifice for one another, and that was as true in Tolkien's life as it was in his writing," the Hillsdale professor says. "I think one of the great things about Tolkien is, when we praise him, we can praise him as a person. There aren't real serious personal failings. He didn't own slaves. He didn't have all these other things that we can dismiss Thomas Jefferson for."Birzer addresses the "literary archaeology" of Tolkien and explains why he thinks "The Lord of the Rings" is "our great story of the modern world."The history professor also addresses his personal dislike for the Peter Jackson films, why Tolkien initially distrusted the very modern technology that led his books to become one of the most popular movie trilogies in existence, and how Tolkien addressed the world of Middle-earth.Enjoy the show!

The O'Leary Review Podcast Guest: James Newcomb December 10, 2022   We welcomed James Newcomb to the show. James is an internet marketer, podcaster, and keen trumpeter. Check out James: Ba Vojdaan! JNS Media (Sign up for his email newsletter) Podcast Artistry™ Trumpet Dynamics   “Always be serious. Never take yourself too seriously.” James referenced General Douglas MacArthur's speech to the cadets of the U.S. Military Academy from May 12, 1962. https://youtu.be/_42_aLGkRpg   Tom Woods School of Life James and I are both members. Go to https://tomschooloflife.com/ to get on the waiting list. I recommend joining the school.   John Birch Society James once worked for the perennially and unduly maligned John Birch Society. William F. Buckley, Jr., seen by a good many Americans over the last several decades as the paragon of American conservatism, was anything but that. Buckley and his magazine, National Review, were “purgers.” Over the course of National Review's history, the Buckleyites purged portions of the conservative movement for not falling in lock-step with the magazine's ideology. Ideology is an interesting topic when it comes to politics or political discourse. It is harmful. We could get into a long discussion on why ideology is so antithetical to moral order, but I shall just point you toward Brad Birzer's quick article “Russell Kirk on the Errors of Ideology.” Birzer wrote an extensive biography on Kirk, ironically one of the founders of National Review and who wrote for the magazine for years, but was then…purged. Kirk's reputation has been somewhat resuscitated by some over at NR in the nearly 3 decades since his passing, but his idea of conservatism is definitely at odds with the bunch who run the show over there at this stage. Here's a video of Birzer talking about his book, Russell Kirk: American Conservative. https://youtu.be/8kn9RdM6gks This is a long way of getting to the point that the John Birch Society was not on the “3 x 5 card of approved opinion” set forth by our cultural betters at the National Review, a magazine that has also purged other heroes of mine—namely Patrick J. Buchanan and Dr. Paul E. Gottfried—from their silly “movement” that has ceased to be “conservative.”   Tom Woods 100 Tom Woods—as far as I'm aware—coined the aforementioned “3x5 card of approved opinion” phrase. It is beautiful and explains so much about our world today. Tom is also a mentor to both James and me. Perhaps not so coincidentally, one of the goals of this program is to get at least 100 people within the Tom Woods orbit on the podcast. “Tom's orbit” is loosely defined, but in our case, James is number 10. Ninety to go! #TomWoods100   Ron Paul presidential campaigns We talk a little about the 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns of Dr. Ron Paul. I did not mention the essay I contributed to a book called Voices of Revolution: Americans speak out for Ron Paul. The ebook now appears to be free at lulu.com. This book was put together for the 2012 campaign. There was a call to action on the Tom Woods Show for a writing contest of some sort, so I fashioned an essay and it ended up leading off the entire book (after the introductory essay by the editor).

Professor Bradley Birzer from Hillsdale College joins the show to dissect Russell Kirk's famous 1981 essay condemning libertarians. Is libertarianism necessarily utopian and unworkable, as Kirk suggests? Is it hubris to imagine we don't need the state—or even God—to prevent social chaos? Do libertarians have more in common with Communists than conservatives? Or was Kirk simply attacking an absurd strawman of the atomistic individual, with Rothbard as the particular (unstated) target of his ire? Dr. Birzer is a thoroughgoing scholar of Kirk, and provides great insights into the context and thinking behind this critique.

In this episode, I speak with Brad Birzer about the American Sociologist Robert Nisbet and his critique of the Modern Nation State. Nisbet was a strong proponent of decentralization and a multiplicity of associations. We discuss some of his ideas, including developmentalism, the quest for community, and authority. We also discuss Nisbet's influences—Alexis de Tocqueville, Edmund Burke, Proudhon, and the Counter-Revolutionaries—and his critique of Jean Jacques Rousseau, who he called the "demon of the modern mind". Brad is currently working on a book on Robert Nisbet that will be published by Notre Dame Press. Dr. Birzer is professor of history, and the Russell Amos Kirk Chair in American Studies at Hillsdale College. He is the co-founder of The Imaginative Conservative, and has written books on J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher Dawson, Russell Kirk, and the rock star Neil Peart. Show Notes: https://www.themoralimagination.com/episodes/bradley-birzer

Look out! Congress is stepping up to "help" the American people with a new ride-sharing safety bill. As Satya Marar points out, this new law would empower bureaucrats at the expense of businesses, drivers and rides alike. If the warnings of growing tyranny and authoritarianism sound too much like Chicken Little, maybe it's time to listen to people who've lived under genuine totalitarianism. Despite all the left-wing hyperventilating about how Trump is about to impose a fascist police state, Rod Dreher explains that the most likely source of authoritarianism today is the political left. Maybe it's just the election year but there sure seems to be a lot of revolutionary fervor in the streets these days. Bradley J. Birzer shares a fascinating take on the 10 conditions necessary for revolution. Lovers of freedom owe a great debt to Sweden for showing the world that lockdowns are not the only way to deal with a pandemic. Christopher Snowdon explains how the Swedes have destroyed the case for resorting to extreme measures to address the virus. Is Covid-19 panic becoming the new state religion? Thomas L. Knapp makes a pretty convincing argument that the dogma driving current policies is anything but scientific.

Of the most aristocratic of the Founding Fathers, a man whose views have been proven right over time. (The written version of this review was first published April 11, 2018. Written versions, in web and PDF formats, are available here.)

In honor of Independence Day this week we will feature one Tipping Point New Mexico podcast. But, we are thrilled to have Bradley Birzer, an American History professor at Hillsdale College on this week. Dr. Birzer and Paul discuss various well-known and more obscure figures in the Founding of America and some of the great accomplishments of the Founding. Dr. Birzer has a book about Andrew Jackson and the two discuss Jackson and his legacy.    Finally, given all the tearing down of monuments happening in America right now Paul and Dr. Birzer discuss the evolving judgments of important figures in American history from the Founding through Jackson and to the Confederacy on issues relating to slavery as well as Native Americans.    Birzer publishes regularly at The Imaginative Conservative.  

Bradley J. Birzer, professor of history and the Russell Amos Kirk Chair in American Studies at Hillsdale College, joins this episode of Acton Line to speak about his newest book, "Beyond Tenebrae: Christian Humanism in the Twilight of the West." What is Christian humanism and what role does it play in the Republic of Letters? What does it mean to live as a Christian humanist? Birzer helps lay down some of the foundational ideas in his book and explains the role Christian humanism has played throughout history. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Russell Kirk contributed more to modern American conservatism than arguably anyone else!  Yet few who call themselves conservative today are familiar with the name “Kirk”—unless they’re referring to Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA.  No offense to Charlie but comparing him to Russell is like comparing the works of William Shakespeare to whatever the last thing Bill Mitchell tweeted. Who was Russell Kirk?  Why is he considered the father of American conservatism?  What did he do that was so important?  Does his message hold value for conservatives today?  Why has his legacy been largely forgotten?  Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis is joined by Bradley Birzer to answer these questions and more about this woefully underappreciated, unusually eccentric, and highly ingenious thinker from the twentieth century whose prolific writings still have much to say to us about the nature of conservatism in the twenty-first century.  But aside from all that, Kirk is just a fascinating individual who wrote more than the average intelligent adult will read in their lifetime and was far more comfortable with mysticism, levitation, and cultish practices than you’d ever expect of someone considered the father of American conservatism! Bradley J. Birzer, Ph.D. is a professor of history at Hillsdale where he is the Russell Amos Kirk Chair in American Studies and Fellow of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.  He is the co-founder, editor at large, and senior contributor of The Imaginative Conservative, an on-line journal for those who seek the True, the Good, and the Beautiful, addressing culture, liberal learning, politics, political economy, literature, the arts, and the American Republic.  Dr. Birzer also serves on the boards of the Free Enterprise Institute and The Center for Cultural Renewal and is a Fellow with the Foundation for Economic Education, Intercollegiate Studies Institute, The McConnell Center, and the Center for Economic Personalism (Brazil). Dr. Birzer is author of several books, including: In Defense of Andrew Jackson, American Cicero: The Life of Charles Carroll, Sanctifying the World: The Augustinian Life and Mind of Christopher Dawson, J.R.R. Tolkien’s Sanctifying Myth: Understanding Middle-Earth, co-editor of The American Democrat and Other Political Writings by James Fenimore Cooper, and co-author of The American West.  He is also the author of Russell Kirk: American Conservative, and is considered an authority on the life of Russell Kirk. He and his wife (also Dr. Birzer) have seven children and divide their time between Michigan and Colorado.  

Russell Kirk has long been known as perhaps the most important founding father of the American Conservative movement in the second half of the 20th century. In the early 1950s, America was emerging from the Great Depression and the New Deal, and was facing the rise of radical ideologies abroad; the American Right seemed beaten, broken, and adrift. Then in 1953, Russell Kirk released his masterpiece, "The Conservative Mind." More than any other published work of the time, this book became the intellectual touchstone for a reinvigorated movement and began a sea change in Americans’ attitudes toward traditionalism. In this episode pulled from the archive, Bradley J. Birzer, professor of history at Hillsdale College, recounts the story of Kirk’s life and work, with attention paid not only to his writings on politics and economics, but also on literature and culture, both subjects dear to Kirk’s heart and central to his thinking.

Andrew Jackson, like most toxic white males that lived over 50 years ago...was a sexist, racist, slave-owning, bigoted man who should not be on the 20 dollar bill....or was he?In addition, he was also one of the most celebrated generals in American History and a man elected President who was raised in the shadow of the heroes of the Revolutionary War.Is it possible all the horrible things we learn about Jackson are taught by people less learned than those who originally erected statues to this man? We discuss...How did a small R Republican become the mascot of the democrat party? Was he really called an "Indian Lover" by his white political opponents?? Did he really fire 10% of the federal workforce?Were good intentions behind the Trail of Tears? (Is this even possible?)What about his Supreme Court defiance?henry Clary said, "Greece had it's Alexander, Rome its Caesar - America it's King Andrew"He was Pro-Slavery and pro-liberty? How?Hero of the War of 1812The people’s presidentPassionately devoted to individual liberty.A staunch proponent of Christian morality? Really?Vital to the preservation of the Union. (they always said Union back then...not so much anymore)The largest population growth in the world was during his Presidency.Voting opened up to the majority of the public at that time (prior to civil war and E.P.)Old Hickory. whose mother (per Thomas Sowell) told him: “Among the precepts that Andrew Jackson's mother taught him were never to sue anybody for slander or for assault and battery: "Always settle them cases yourself.” Truth + Character + Wisdom = Prosperity. *******************************************************************► BOOK NOTES / SHOW NOTES► https://goo.gl/ap1nBg PLACES I GO ► PODCAST: SPREAKER- https://www.spreaker.com/show/oh-hale-yeah ► PODCAST: iTunes - ► PODCAST: Google - http://bit.ly/OHYGoogle ► QUORA - https://goo.gl/31USZa ► MEDIUM - https://goo.gl/fMTWZR ► INSTAGRAM- @Oohaleyeah ► FACEBOOK - https://goo.gl/7tA4N6 ► PATREON - https://www.patreon.com/OhHaleYeah ► TWITTER- https://goo.gl/85RFf2 ► PAYPAL- www.paypal.me/OHHALEYEAH ► SUBSCRIBE - https://goo.gl/Utxgdy PLAYLISTS ► THE CLIMATE SCAM► https://goo.gl/nndfC4 ► THE EDUCATION SCAM ► https://goo.gl/THvGvn ► THE ABORTION SCAM► https://goo.gl/8HbBGx ► THE MEDIA SCAM ► https://goo.gl/113Rts ►THE GENDER SCAM► https://goo.gl/CSDHvG ► THE SCIENCE SCAM► https://goo.gl/JuATSE ► MUSLIM JIHAD & THE ISLAMIC CALIPHATE ► https://goo.gl/HzRTy4 ► FEMINISM IS CANCER► https://goo.gl/nsnGJN ► COMMUNISM, FASCISM, SOCIALISM, PROGRESSIVISM ► https://goo.gl/kZGSAA ► SUNDAY SCHOOL ► ►THAT'S RACIST!► https://goo.gl/nDSuFn ►LIVESTREAMS► PLEASE SUBSCRIBE to support this channel. ******************************************************************** Youtube DE-MONETIZES ALMOST ALL OF MY CONTENT.

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support https://learntruehistory.com Should we admire Andrew Jackson? Brad Birzer of Hillsdale College says yes, and I generally agree. I have written two chapters on Jackson, once in my Politically Incorrect Guide to Real American Heroes, and once in my 9 Presidents Who Screwed Up America. Brad has done a service to Jackson's reputation and his book is worth your time to read. I cover Jackson and Birzer's fine work in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/brion-mcclanahan/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brion-mcclanahan/support

Today Hillsdale College's Brad Birzer joins me to discuss his new book, In Defense of Andrew Jackson. We discuss Indian policy, the national bank, nullification, and more.

Bradley J. Birzer's book "In Defense of Andrew Jackson," does not state that Jackson used the Trumpian term Covfefe, but the two populist presidents certainly share much in common. They both put American First. But there are many differences as well, some of them due to the times in which they lived or are living, and others due to their character. But strength of will and the refusal to take no for an answer are dominant in both. The ability to turn their backs on ridicule and anger is also a common theme. A fascinating look at our 7th president and his life and times.

The post The Conservative Mind: A Conversation with Bradley J. Birzer about Russell Kirk and American Conservatism appeared first on AlbertMohler.com.

In the 1950s, American conservatives felt like they were on the ropes: faced with a liberal consensus at home and radical ideologies abroad, conservatives were fractured, broken, and, they thought, largely voiceless. According to historian Bradley J. Birzer, it took the publication of one book, Russell Kirk’s The Conservative Mind, to help change the tide. Hailed by political thinkers and writers on the right, such as William F. Buckley, the book set out certain first principles for postwar conservatives, chief among them belief in a transcendent order, trust in the rule of law and in the link between property and freedom, and, importantly, a conviction that change may not always be good. Kirk was a major thinker in the postwar era, but Birzer points out, his influence has waned. Anyone looking for prescriptions about the best tax policy, or defenses of someone like Trump, won’t find them in Kirk. Birzer discusses what this might mean for the future of the American Right, and whether conservatives in the coming years might take another look at Russell Kirk. This interview was recorded on October 18, 2016.

On this edition of Radio Free Acton, we join Bradley J. Birzer ("Call me Brad") to discuss his new biography of Russell Kirk, and to examine Kirk's role as the founding father of the conservative movement in the United States. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
