The Hangover begins with Richard Brookhiser (American historian and longtime editor at National Review) making a statement that is both clear and simple and yet seems like a revolutionary point to be made among Republicans: “Trump had his day, but it passed.” The question remains, why aren't they acting like it? Furthermore, how did the Republican grassroots go from Tea Partiers tidying up after themselves on the National Mall to rioters breaking into the Capitol in the space of just over a decade? Brookhiser explains this populist overthrow within the tradition of political factionalism stretching all the way back to Madison.Show Notes:-Founder's Son by Richard Brookhiser-I Love You, but I Hate Your Politics, by Jeanne Safer-The Tea Party was notoriously clean-Some U.S. cities are semi-permanently wrecked from 20th-century rioting-Democrats have become the party of the rich-The “anti-elitist” Democratic-Republican Party was made up of rich guys-A giant list of Israeli political parties-Brookhiser argues that liberty is the core of American politicsChapter 2: Chris Talks With Eric Cantor Get full access to The Hangover at hangoverpodcast.thedispatch.com/subscribe

In Give Me Liberty: A History of America's Exceptional Idea (Basic Books, 2019), Richard Brookhiser has written a history of an idea, liberty, using an unconventional format of a review of documents from America’s past that touch upon different understandings of liberty. Brookhiser reviews thirteen documents from each era of America’s past. He starts with the 1619 document noting the beginning of representative and deliberative self-government in Jamestown, Virginia. He includes a review of notable, well known documents, from the Seneca Falls Declaration from 1848 to Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address from 1863 to William Jennings Bryan’s “Cross of Gold” speech in 1896 to Ronald Reagan’s Berlin Wall speech in 1987. Yet, Brookhiser also analyzes some “hidden history,” covering documents that are less well known. For example, he reviews the Flushing Remonstrance of 1657, wherein common people in New York publicly demanded liberty of conscience, not for themselves, but for a religious minority and for religious beliefs they did not personally embrace. Instances such as these reveal the widespread and deeply felt sense that liberty is endemic to humans and should be recognized by positive law and protected by government. Ian J.

In this episode, we conclude our discussion of the ‘98 Tony Awards. We pour one out for the dearly departed Natasha Richardson, join our heads together to analyze the reasons Side Show flopped, and wonder where in the world is Frank Wildhorn? (He’s big in Japan).

Returning to “Q&A” is Richard Brookhiser, the historian and journalist – Jay's colleague at National Review. Brookhiser's latest book is “ John Marshall: The Man Who Made the Supreme Court.” Jay talks with Brookhiser about the man and the Court. What was Marshall like? What about his education? (Any, of a formal nature?) What about his slaveholding? What about his relationship with Jefferson? Source

Titus & Richard Brookhiser, famed biographer of the Founders, discuss the Gentleman Revolutionary, Gouverneur Morris, The Rake Who Wrote The Constitution, as the Brookhiser bio is titled. Morris was the most aristocratic of the Founders & he is the one with the best seats for both world-changing events. We talk about his many accomplishments, from writing the New York Constitution & the US Constitution to the Erie Canal, & his impressive career & the character that made it possible.

Richard Brookhiser is a journalist and historian — the author of many books about the Founders. His latest book is Founders' Son, about Abraham Lincoln and his relation to the founding generation. Brookhiser is also Jay's fellow senior editor at National Review — and, in this podcast, they cover a lot of ground. They talk about the Founders. And Lincoln. And the Civil War. And FDR. Source

Sarah Palin is a game changer, is there any doubt after this weekend? She has simultaneously energized the conservative base AND independents. I am truly shocked by how well this pick has been received. Conservatives have been waiting for McCain to stick his finger in their eye once again. With this pick, he has shocked them by delivering an authentic conservative. He raised $3 million overnight and has re-energized his base in a way few thought possible. I am surprised that independents have been as impressed, 64% of unaffiliated voters now give positive reviews to McCain, up ten points since naming his running mate. I really thought this was a risky choice. I, like Richard Brookhiser of National Review, took a decidedly negative view initially. I tried to make these points tonight, but the callers for the most part, were having none of it. Here’s Brookhiser, "The Palin pick shows a low opinion of the vice presidency, and it shows conservatives in a bad light." Why is this so? Because for months experience has been the issue. McCain has undercut his two main campaign themes, Barack is NOT READY TO LEAD and COUNTRY FIRST. Can you really make the arguement that McCain put country first with this pick? Instead, it is the GOP embracing the identity politics it claims to detest. Palin tickles all the right interest groups, women (check), guns (check), God (check), pro life (check). All that said, repubicans don’t seem to care. They love the Palin pick and for good reason. She is what Barack Obama claims to be. She’s a reformer with a record instead of speeches. She’s bipartisan in action rather than in words. Unlike Obama, she has fought the politics of old within her own party. In short, she is the anti-Obama. Liberals are besides themselves. They are not simply pointing out the experience issue, they are openly mocking her. Some, like the loathsome Andrew Sullivan, are quite happy to pass along ugly smears against the Palin family. All I can say about this is, keep it, please, keep it up. The enthusiasm for this pick is simply amazing. No matter what happens from here, one thing is clear, Sarah Palin is a game changer.
