Unleashed: The Political News Hour with Chris Cordani – Who was in charge of Biden's signing off on important legislation and orders? Was Jill Biden running the day-to-day operations like Edith Wilson? Who are the Deep State operatives within the party? Or, was it a collective group of snot-nose woke brats who took advantage of the situation to push woke rules and cover up some of their tracks?

Tune in here to this Friday edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the show with Pete Kaliner for this week's Friday Hangover; they discuss Joe Biden’s public appearances, cognitive state, and the role of First Lady Jill Biden. Using a humorous and satirical tone, they compare Biden’s situation to NFL coach Bill Belichick's relationship with his significantly younger girlfriend, Jordan Hudson. Drawing on syllogisms and pop culture references—from The View to Edith Wilson—they suggest both men are being managed or propped up by the women in their lives.

Brett and Bo talk about Bo’s participation in the upcoming Meck Mile, where he’ll run in a media division heat at Memorial Stadium, emphasizing fitness over competition. The conversation shifts to a bizarre news story involving three members of Congress and the Newark mayor allegedly trespassing at an ICE facility—an event Brett critiques as a publicity stunt fueled by social media culture. They reflect on how politicians increasingly use viral moments to gain attention rather than working through official channels.

Kim była Edith Wilson? Żoną prezydenta Woodrowa Wilsona, Pierwszą Damą, ale także kobietą, która „prawie” przejęła rolę głowy państwa w krytycznym momencie. Po ciężkim udarze swojego męża stanęła przed niełatwym zadaniem zarządzania sprawami administracji państwowej, stając się jedyną pośredniczką między chorym mężem a resztą świata. Bez formalnego wykształcenia politycznego, ale z niebywałym instynktem, Edith Wilson kontrolowała przepływ informacji, selekcjonowała dokumenty i podejmowała decyzje, które wpływały na losy Ameryki. Przez jednych nazywana „Pierwszą Kobietą Prezydentką”, przez innych „Żelazną Królową”, Edith wzbudzała kontrowersje swoją pozycją i zakulisowym wpływem na politykę. Przyjrzyjmy się, jak balansowała między lojalnością wobec męża a potrzebą sprawnego rządzenia krajem oraz jak jej działania są oceniane z perspektywy czasu. To opowieść o sile, determinacji i odwadze kobiety, która znalazła się w samym sercu amerykańskiej polityki, trochę wbrew swojej woli, a może właśnie nie?

In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson suffered a major stroke. The president, a widower, was kept in solitude by his second wife and a tight ring of advisers. For months, senior executive branch and legislative officials could not see the president. The White House claimed the president would shortly return to full health, and that he suffered only from “nervous exhaustion.” His wife managed the flow of information to him, sharing certain memos and concealing others.We spoke to John Milton Cooper Jr., a historian who has been called "the world's greatest authority on Woodrow Wilson." Cooper is Professor Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and his Woodrow Wilson: A Biography was a Pulitzer Prize finalist.(00:00) Introduction(00:21) How did Wilson's stroke come about?(6:54) The stroke and its immediate coverup(14:08) Psychological changes in President Wilson(18:43) The media coverup(20:31) Wilson and Congress(23:53) Edith Wilson's role(32:04) The Vice President and constitutional questions(37:52) Wilson's advisers(41:38) The Democratic Party This is a public episode.

First among our guests this AM is author David Shephard, who talks to Karen about the state of the Biden campaign -- asserting that he isn't going anywhere, basically because Dr. Jill enjoys her Edith Wilson-esque role altogether too much. You can buy David's novels, Elections Have Consequences and Norton's Choice, here and here.

Today's show dives into the fallout and the spin over the last 72 hours since the CNN debate where Joe Biden had a disastrous evening. We open with a reminder of what the media was projecting ahead of time, suggesting Biden was going to easily defeat Trump. We then look at the fallout and the discussions across Legacy/mainstream media, Democrat leaders and the strategy of the Bidens, specifically Jill and Hunter, moving forward. We also discuss the First Lady and the timing of being on the cover of Vogue magazine. It looks like Joe Biden is once again finding a way to blame everyone but himself for why he did so poorly. And, begrudgingly, some of the MSM is trying to move toward the narrative of, it was just a bad night, but that's not who Joe really is. To remind you how history really does repeat itself, there are eerie parallels between the Biden regime and that of Woodrow Wilson in the last 20's. In fact, we even know how, much like Jill, Edith Wilson his her husband's debilitating stroke, becoming the de facto president, signing his name to letters and legislation in his stead. We do hit on the Supreme Court's decision that presidents do, in fact, have immunities from criminal prosecution. The have absolute immunity when it comes to the powers specifically mentioned in the Constitution. They have presumed immunity for the actions of their office. However, they have no immunity for actions outside of their office. As a result, the very Leftists who are screaming about “saving our Democracy” have gone all-in on Biden needing to order an assassination of the former president and a military takeover of government. The derangement out there is very real and it is very dangerous. Finally, we look at a cringe-worthy production coming out of the office of the Vice President. VP Kamala Harris is once again having to pander to a block of the Democrat base and it is awful to watch. Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

On March 7, 2024, biographer Rebecca Boggs Roberts provided an unflinching look at First Lady Edith Bolling Galt Wilson. While this nation has yet to elect its first female president—and though history has downplayed her role—just over a century ago a woman became the nation's first acting president. In fact, she was born in 1872, and her name was Edith Bolling Galt Wilson. She climbed her way out of Appalachian poverty and into the highest echelons of American power and in 1919 effectively acted as the first female president of the United States when her husband, Woodrow Wilson, was incapacitated. Beautiful, brilliant, charismatic, catty, and calculating, she was a complicated figure whose personal quest for influence reshaped the position of First Lady into one of political prominence forever. Rebecca Boggs Roberts offered an unflinching look at the woman whose ascent mirrors that of many powerful American women before and since, one full of the compromises and complicities women have undertaken throughout time in order to find security for themselves and make their mark on history. Rebecca Boggs Roberts is an award-winning educator, author, and speaker, and a leading historian of American women's suffrage and civic participation. She is currently deputy director of events at the Library of Congress and serves on the board of the National Archives Foundation, on the Council of Advisors of the Women's Suffrage National Monument Foundation, and on the Editorial Advisory Committee of the White House Historical Association. Her books include the award-winning The Suffragist Playbook: Your Guide to Changing the World; Suffragists in Washington, D.C.: The 1913 Parade and the Fight for the Vote; and Untold Power: The Fascinating Rise and Complex Legacy of First Lady Edith Wilson.

The Twenty-Fifth Hour is the 1950 novel by the Romanian writer C. Virgil Gheorghiu that weaves a tangled, early post-modern tale of central Europe and the Balkans in World War II. It is justly forgotten today, but the title is back in a manner of speaking because it highlights the great irony of the Left's Ahab-like pursuit of the Great Orange Whale (to mix literary references). Anyone else recall back in 2017 how a concerted mob of concerned citizens suggested the presidential disability clause of the 25th Amendment be invoked to remove President Trump from office? Think of it as a 25th Hour moment. This week ended with the 25th Hour being invoked to remove Joe Biden from office because of his obvious and rapidly advancing senility. Yet one more example of how a strategy to get Trump, like the Me Too movement, has circled around like a rogue torpedo to explode in the face of the Left.The week began with such promise for the anti-Trump crusade. The walls were closing in on the breaking dam that would drown the freshly roosting chickens! Bam: no immunity for you! And the Supreme Court might allow Trump to be banned from the ballot! Except that didn't go according to script. And then the report of the greatest Hur since Ben Hur, declaring that Biden isn't competent to stand trial for the very same "willful" crime for which Trump is being prosecuted, but is somehow competent to remain president? The Left should have taken a lesson from those failed exploding cigars they tried to use on Castro 60 years ago.But about that disability clause in the 25th Amendment: we take a closer look, and note that Section 4 in particular is not as clear cut and simple as it sounds. Meaning we're likely stuck so long as Edith Wilson. . ., er, we mean, DOCTOR Jill Biden has anything to say about it.And finally, we close out this week's epsiode with happy 64th birthday wishes to Lucretia, so the exit bumper music is fairly predictable, isn't it? (Though I chose a rendition from an obscure artist just to annoy this week's host!)

Edith Wilson's influence transcended the traditional role of First Lady.  She navigated the corridors of power with grace, resilience, and determination. Edith Wilson captured the heart of President Woodrow Wilson, but her life took an unexpected turn when her husband suffered a debilitating stroke during his second term, leaving him incapacitated. Unbeknownst to many, Edith would rise to the occasion, becoming the de facto steward of the nation in a time of crisis. She managed the executive branch from behind closed doors, screening documents, making decisions, and even interacting with Cabinet members on behalf of the President. We delve into the controversies surrounding her role, from the public's lack of awareness to the delicate balance between loyalty and constitutionality.

Late last year we did a “best of” year-end podcast that focused on top moments from With the Bark Off. It was no easy task to choose those moments given the sheer volume of great material we had to draw from, but it was fun and proved to be very popular among our listeners. We decided to make this a biannual thing to reflect on those moments that stood out to us in the last six months. In this episode you will find vignettes on Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, Edith Wilson, Jackie Kennedy, J. Edgar Hoover, and Joe Biden.

"A compelling yarn.... Roberts's storytelling soars as she leads the reader through Edith's machinations to hide her husband's disabilities while maintaining his White House's functions." -- The Washington Post

Rebecca Boggs Roberts is an award-winning educator and historian who has written extensively about women's history and the women's suffrage movement. Her books include The Suffragist Playbook: Your Guide to Changing the World and Suffragists in Washington, DC: The 1913 Parade and the Fight for the Vote.She recently published Untold Power: The Fascinating Rise and Complex Legacy of First Lady Edith Wilson, a richly detailed biography of a woman who has eluded careful study despite the fact that she played a vital role in one of the most consequential presidencies of the 20th century.

The one thing most anyone knows about First Lady Edith Wilson is that she conspired to cover for Woodrow Wilson after he suffered a debilitating stroke in 1919. There's much more to this complex woman's story, says this week's guest, Rebecca Boggs Roberts. She's the author of a new Edith Wilson biography titled "Untold Power." She describes Edith Bolling's rise from rural Virginia with only two years of formal education to the heights of power in Washington in a time of change for women and the nation.

Has the United States ever had a female president? An easy question to answer. Has it ever had an ‘acting' female President? Harder to answer. Check out Rebecca Boggs Roberts' very readable biography of Edith Wilson, Woodrow Wilson's second wife, and make up your own mind. The book is Untold Power: The Fascinating Rise and Complex Legacy of First Lady Edith Wilson. Following her husband's stroke in 1919, Edith Wilson decided, for reasons she thought critical to her husband's well-being, to hide the extent of his incapacities from the public, from the press, from Congress, from his cabinet, even from Wilson himself. She assumed some of the powers of the office herself. Could a First Lady get away with such audacity today in the age of social media and intense news media scrutiny? Not a chance. Was her self-justification reasonable? All those questions are what makes Edith Wilson such a complex and controversial character and a worthy subject for Rebecca Boggs Roberts.

Ideally, we would have done this interview during March, but honestly, women's history shouldn't be relegated to just one month. Ya know? So today, after we cover the latest news on arraignment watch and the further fascist makeover of Floriduh, we'll learn about the American First Lady who basically performed her husband's role of president after Woodrow Wilson suffered a stroke -- Edith Wilson. I didn't even know her name until I learned of this new book, UNTOLD POWER: THE FASCINATING RISE AND COMPLEX LEGACY OF FIRST LADY EDITH WILSON. Today, I'll speak with the author, REBECCA BOGGS ROBERTS. (Note from Nicole: I need to fire my producer. She left up Rebekah Jones' info on Rebecca's chyron... Her Twitter is @RBoggsRoberts and her website is rebeccaroberts.org.) But we'll start the show with a brand new production from Randy Rainbow, and I think it might be his best video yet!

The American people have never elected a woman president, but from 1919 to 1921, they had an acting woman president and didn't even know it. When President Woodrow Wilson suffered a devastating stroke in 1919, his wife, First Lady Edith Wilson, found herself in extraordinary circumstances. She made the fateful decision to hide his condition and perform several presidential duties herself. In this episode, we interview Rebecca Boggs Roberts about the first woman to exercise the powers of the presidency.UNTOLD POWER: THE FASCINATING RISE AND COMPLEX LEGACY OF FIRST LADY EDITH WILSONhttps://www.amazon.com/Untold-Power-Fascinating-Complex-Legacy/dp/0593489993JOIN PREMIUMListen ad-free for only $5/month at www.bit.ly/TAPpremiumFOLLOW USwww.linktr.ee/thisamericanpresidentCREDITSHost: Richard LimProducer: Michael NealArtist: Nip Rogers, www.NipRogers.com

Women's History Month is a time to look back and honor the women of the past who've made a difference. One of these stories is that of Edith Wilson. On paper, she's known as Woodrow Wilson's second wife and first lady, but her story is much more fascinating than what meets the eye. Author Rebecca Roberts joins us to share the story of this fierce and independent woman. Learn More: https://viewpointsradio.org/the-untold-story-of-edith-wilson

[REBROADCAST FROM March 10, 2023] For Feminist Fridays in honor of Women's History Month, we discuss the woman some consider to be the unofficial first female President: Edith Wilson.

Edith Wilson dated and then married Woodrow Wilson while he served as president of the United States in 1915. In her new biography, Untold Power: The Fascinating Rise and Complex Legacy of First Lady Edith Wilson, author Rebecca Boggs Roberts – daughter of the late NPR founding mother Cokie Roberts – explores Wilson's influential role in her husband's administration. But as Roberts tells NPR's Steve Inskeep, at a time when women didn't yet have the right to vote, Wilson often hid her political contributions from the spotlight.

The United States may well have had its first female president already. The problem? Nobody knew it. After President Woodrow Wilson suffered a devastating stroke in October 1919, his wife, First Lady Edith Wilson, became acting president until his second term ended on March 4, 1921. Today we talk about that decision and the woman who was Edith Wilson, who was acting president before women even had the right to vote.

Though it seems Rebecca Boggs Roberts has had every job under the sun, a connecting thread runs through them all: each one was a form of storytelling. The deputy director of events at the Library of Congress and author of Untold Power: The Fascinating Rise and Complex Legacy of First Lady Edith Wilson joins Julie in this episode to talk about finding the beauty and wonder of words, her job at the Library of Congress, and her dream dinner party (which would include plenty of hot goss). Words, history, and complicated, human individuals: Rebecca finds inspiration in all of it and encourages Julie to do the same. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Woodrow Wilson.  Our returning guest is Smithsonian Associate, journalist, and author Rebecca Boggs Roberts, who has written the new book, Untold Power: The Fascinating Rise and Complex Legacy of First Lady Edith Wilson by Rebecca Boggs Roberts I'll introduce Rebecca Boggs Roberts in just a moment, but quickly, if you missed any shows recently, last week was our 699th episode I spoke with #1 NYT bestselling author Mark Greaney about his new book, part of The Gray Man series, “Burner,” already a bestseller. Two weeks ago, I spoke with author and journalist Philip Bump about his new book,  “The Aftermath: the Last Days of the Baby Boom and the Future of Power in America”  Wonderful subjects for our Not Old Better Show audience…If you missed those shows, along with any others, you can go back and check them out with my entire back catalog of shows, all free for you, there on our website, NotOld-Better.com Our guest today is Smithsonian Associate, author, and journalist Rebecca Boggs Roberts.  Rebecca Boggs Roberts will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up, so please check out details of her Zoom presentation in our show notes today.  The title of Rebecca Boggs Roberts' presentation is Edith Wilson: The First (Unelected) Woman President.  While this nation has yet to elect its first woman president—and though history has downplayed her role—just over a century ago a woman became the nation's first acting president. In fact, she was born in 1872, and her name was Edith Bolling Galt Wilson. She climbed her way out of Appalachian poverty and into the highest echelons of American power and in 1919 effectively acted as the first woman president of the U.S. (before women could even vote nationwide) when her husband, Woodrow Wilson, was incapacitated. Beautiful, brilliant, charismatic, catty, and calculating, she was a complicated figure whose personal quest for influence reshaped the position of First Lady into one of political prominence forever. And still nobody truly understands who she was. You'll enjoy our conversation today with Rebecca Boggs Roberts, so please join me in welcoming back to  The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates interview for Women's History initiative on radio and podcast, Smithsonian Associate Rebecca Boggs Roberts.

Edith Bolling Galt Wilson was second wife of the 28th President, Woodrow Wilson. She served as First Lady from 1915 to 1921. After the President suffered a severe stroke, she pre-screened all matters of state, functionally running the Executive branch of government for the remainder of Wilson's second term. Known as the “Secret President” or “first woman to run the government.” Follow us: @homance_chronicles Email us: homancepodcast@gmail.com Connect with us: https://linktr.ee/homance

Adam Conover has made his career in comedy. Now, on his podcast Factually, he interviews some of the world's most brilliant minds. Every week, the show features a different expert – from scientists to authors to philosophers and journalists – and invites them to dive deep on fascinating topics. This week, Adam joins Leah-Simone Bowen to share how the show came about, what it was like to work with Barack Obama, and his tip for conversing with intimidatingly well-read folks and asking them ignorant questions (spoiler alert: you've got to embrace the ignorance). He's also sharing his favourite podcasts. We'll hear the story of how his friend was once fired from an acting gig by Tom Hanks for having “dead eyes,” and a snippet from the scripted comedy podcast about Edith Wilson, who secretly ran the U.S. after the First World War, while her husband Woodrow was sick.
