Join our warm and timely conversation with the author of the wise and compelling book "The Crisis of the Two Constitutions: The Rise, Decline, and Recovery of American Greatness," Dr. Charles Kesler, Ph.D. (A link to that book is available below). Charles is a Harvard man. He studied at Harvard for all his degrees culminating in the Ph.D. in Government, and serves as the Dengler-Dykema Distinguished Professor of Government at Claremont McKenna College, which in my humble view is the best member of the Consortium of The Claremont Colleges in Claremont, California. His prior books include Saving the Revolution, a Signet Classic edition of The Federalist Papers with his Introduction, and more recently a book on how to understand President Obama within the context of the different epochs of Progressivism/Liberalism called "I am the Change: Barack Obama and the Crisis of Liberalism." (Links to these books are available below). Dr. Kesler also writes a regular editor's introduction to each issue of The Claremont Review of Books, which comes out four times a year, winter, spring, summer, and fall. Each short essay is beautifully written, often dryly humorous, always insightful and engaging. If you do not yet subscribe to the publication, in my correct view, you're missing out on delightful substance. For instance, one can read online *if necessary*, but the Review comes out in an attractive physical copy delivered by mail peppered with quality artwork, made of sturdy material, salted with the lighthearted depth that keeps one abreast of the times and yet moves one in deeper understanding and appreciation of truths past, present, and future. It has a timeliness and at the same time a timelessness about it. In this TRP episode, Charles tells us what he means by "the two Constitutions": There's "The Founder's Constitution," and by contrast there's now, also "The Progressive's Constitution." They are not the same constitution, and thus must be distinguished. Doing so helps to unpack an explanation for political and cultural phenomena that might otherwise go unnoticed or misunderstood. We more or less follow the outline of the book. Worth the price of the tome by itself, Dr. Kesler offers "What's Wrong With Conservativism." Included are thoughts about Reagan, Bush, and Trump, including an anecdote by your TRP host of sitting in Professor Kesler's class in Spring of 2016 as he predicted, early in the semester, to every undergraduate's astonishment, that Trump would beat Hillary (as well as a rationale). The Republican Professor is a pro-correctly-understanding-American-Politics, pro-coming-to-terms-with-what's-wrong-with-Conservativism, pro-more-deeply-appreciating-the-design-of-The-Founder's-Constitution-as-opposed-to-its-"Progressive"-alternative podcast. Therefore, welcome Charles Kesler !

Last week, we hosted a discussion of how the U.S. Constitution was written and how it has changed over time, featuring two authors with different takes: professors Wilfred Codrington III of Brooklyn Law School and Charles R. Kesler of Claremont McKenna College. Professor Codrington unveiled his new book 'The People's Constitution: 200 Years, 27 Amendments, and the Promise of a More Perfect Union.' Codrington tells the story of constitutional change through his focus on the amendments that he says have reshaped our founding document in order to create a more perfect union. At the same time, Professor Kesler presented his book, 'Crisis of the Two Constitutions: The Rise, Decline, and Recovery of American Greatness.' Kesler's focus is on the Constitution as written in 1787, as opposed to a narrative of the progressive or βlivingβ constitution, and argues that the two are at odds with each other. National Constitution Center president and CEO Jeffrey Rosen moderates. This conversation was streamed live on October 26, 2021.

Tune in Sunday night to KNUS AM 710 from 5 to 8 pm for Backbone Radio. Matt Dunn and Krista Kafer will hit the airwaves with fresh commentary on all things political and cultural. We have two guests for the evening: Eric Metaxas, author of the New York Times #1 bestseller Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy, will join us on Backbone Radio tomorrow night (Sunday 9/16). We will talk about his brilliant book about Dietrich Bonhoeffer who was part of the resistance against the Nazi regime. We'll also talk with Charles R. Kesler, a senior fellow of the Claremont Institute and professor of government at Claremont McKenna College. We'll discuss his brilliant new book I Am the Change: Barack Obama and the Crisis of Liberalism. And what will be President Obama's legacy? Here's a hint β Obama's policies on health care, taxation and regulation have pushed America further toward the European model of social democracy. As aging European welfare states (think Greece) presently hit the wall of deficits and debt, Obama's outrageous spending habits are hastening our own encounter with the wall. Meanwhile, the new Census Bureau report paints a grim picture of America 2012: Median household income falling, some 2.3 million more Americans on Medicaid, and a record 46.2 million Americans living in poverty. All this under a president who once said, βLet's be the generation that ends poverty in America.β When you consider that a record 45 million Americans are now on food stamps and a record 11 million are collecting federal disability checks β things aren't pretty these days. This week four Americans lost their lives in Libya, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, when violent protests erupted across North Africa ostensibly over a lame, low-budget film. While the blame sits squarely with the murderers and their twisted excuses, some are wondering if the incoherent foreign policy from this administration has emboldened radical elements abroad. On the bright side, Russian scientists are planning to clone a wooly mammoth from frozen mammoth tissue. We've got more hope for this Jurassic Park adventure than for what lies ahead under this president. Don't miss the hard-hitting commentary and groovy bumper music.
