Between 1933 and 1942, the Civilian Conservation Corps enlisted more than three million young men in a project that planted two billion trees, slowed soil erosion on forty million acres of farmland, and enjoyed support across political and geographic divides. In this episode we talk with Neil Maher, author of Nature's New Deal: The Civilian Conservation Corps and the Roots of the American Environmental Movement (Oxford University Press, 2008) about how the CCC helped solidify FDR's New Deal and spread the seeds of environmental activism for generations to come. Dr. Neil Maher is a Professor of History and Master Teacher in the Federated History Department at the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Rutgers University-Newark. He is also the author of Apollo in the Age of Aquarius (Harvard University Press, 2017).

The founding generation prayed America into existence, and the record proves it.In this episode, Pastor Nathan Brown and Pastor Rob McCoy trace prayer as the through line of American national life — from Governor Bradford's 1621 day of thanksgiving at Plymouth, through the 400+ official days of prayer and fasting observed before 1776, to the Continental Congress calling every colony to confess its sins in the summer of 1775. They walk through Washington's prayer tent, Lincoln's 1863 fast day, FDR's D-Day prayer on national radio, and the calls to prayer still being issued today. Perfect for the commute, the gym, or the drive — a full teaching on how a praying people built a free nation, and what prayer looks like in your own home this week.You'll Learn:✅ Why the disciples asked Jesus to teach them one thing — how to pray✅ How prayer proclamations tracked every turning point of the Revolutionary War✅ Practical steps for daily prayer, family prayer, and praying for your city

A pair of reading glasses stopped a military coup in 1783. New England quietly talked about leaving the union in 1814, forty seven years before the South did. These are true stories, and almost nobody remembers them. Is it a coincidence, or is God's hand really in it? In this episode, Lance Wallnau walks through the moments American history books skip over: the Newburgh conspiracy, the Hartford Convention, Andrew Jackson's showdown with South Carolina, Lincoln's calls for national repentance, and FDR's wartime turnaround. Each one came down to a single leader making a single choice, and each one still shapes the country you live in today. In this episode: * The 1783 Newburgh conspiracy Washington stopped without raising his voice * The Hartford Convention of 1814, the secession talk your history class left out * Andrew Jackson's toast that faced down South Carolina's threat to leave the union * Lincoln's 1863 line, "we have forgotten God," and why he called for national days of prayer in the middle of the war * How FDR set aside his own economic playbook to win World War Two * Why every one of these moments hinged on one person's decision, and what that means for the moment we're in right now If God has shown up this many times before, He hasn't stopped now.

Rogers for America with Lt. Steve Rogers – It is no secret that socialists and communists have taken control of the Democratic Party. The party of FDR and JFK no longer exist. It is now the party of Lenin and Stalin. Increasing numbers of socialists and communists are seeking offices at every level of government. The most dangerous are running for the U.S. Congress...

Veronique de Rugy warns that Social Security faces a 2032 deadline when trust fund assets will be depleted. Without reform, benefits could be cut by 22%.

Marques opens up about his path from professional football to a rock bottom moment that reshaped his entire life and purpose, and what it took to rebuild from nothing. What we cover in this episode: Marques' six year career in the National Football League, and the difficult transition that followed, including a six month struggle with addiction, alcohol, nightlife, and gambling Building a multimillion dollar construction company that reached multiple eight figures a year, and how ego, greed, and the personality ethics led to its total collapse Moving to Raleigh, North Carolina with four hundred dollars to his name, being fired from two jobs in the same week, and taking a job as a custodian earning eight dollars and twenty five cents an hour The rock bottom moment on a custodial shift that became his wake up call and the beginning of phase two of his life The J.K. Rowling quote that shaped his outlook, rock bottom is the moment that rebuilt my life, and the parallel of Rowling writing Harry Potter while living in her car Marques' journey into professional speaking, starting in September 2013 and going two and a half years before his first paid engagement in April 2016 Meeting Mel Robbins in 2018, getting coached, learning the business, and going on to work with more than ninety Fortune 500 companies Becoming a six time best selling author, with a seventh book, Built From The Storm, The Bison Operating System, currently in progress The Bison mindset, a leadership framework built around being bold, having integrity, practicing self awareness, taking ownership, and never quitting Why bison move as a herd through a storm, protecting the weaker, older, and younger members while the strong and bold face the brunt of the storm, and what that teaches us about leadership and community The idea of purpose driven leadership, and why this phase of Marques' life feels more meaningful to him than football or business ever did Julie's own story of rock bottom during her divorce, and the parallels between her journey and Marques' story of resilience The importance of authenticity and vulnerability in leadership, and why judgment should never stop anyone from telling their real story A favorite quote from Franklin Delano Roosevelt, smooth seas never made skilled sailors, and what it means to grow through hardship rather than ease This conversation is filled with ingredients for success, insight on resilience, and encouragement for anyone facing their own storm right now.

In this special 169th episode, we commemorate America's 250th anniversary by analyzing the charts of one of American history's most influential political power couples: Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt. Join astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield as they explore the cosmic blueprint behind the leaders who guided the nation through the Great Depression and World War II. What We Uncover in Their Charts: Franklin D. Roosevelt's Visionary Leadership: Discover how his Virgo Rising combined with a Uranus Ascendant made him a radical visionary. We break down his Sun/Venus conjunction in Aquarius and the challenging Neptune square that shaped his personal battle with illness, transforming him from a victim into his own savior. Eleanor Roosevelt's Optimism and Influence: From a shy "wallflower" to a UN Diplomat, Eleanor's Sagittarius Rising speaks to her monumental life. We discuss her Moon/Mars trine for instinctual power, her Venus square to Pluto (highlighting her struggles with self-worth and even her surveillance by J. Edgar Hoover), and how her devotion drove her numerous publications. Their Synastry & "Venus Score": We analyze the glue and the friction of their relationship. We dive into their comfortable Venus/Moon sextile, their magnetic Mars/Venus attraction, and the lasting potential of their Venus/Saturn trine. But what about the critical Uranus/Mars square and the very public Saturn/MC conjunction? Tune in to hear their final "Venus Score" for this revolutionary couple. Why Listen? If you are fascinated by history, politics, or how astrology shapes world leaders, this episode is for you. We bridge the gap between celestial mechanics and the human stories that defined the 20th century.

The .50 AE cartridge propels a 325-grain bullet at approximately 1,400 fps with 1,400 ft-lbs of energy. Unsuppressed sound levels are 173-177 dB; suppressed use yields a realistic 15-20 dB reduction resulting in 155-160 dB. THEFIREARMBLOG Saberdyne Systems NDEX Indexing Sight System The NDEX is a patented rear-sight-only iron sight system (US 9,915,501) that completely eliminates the traditional front sight post on pistols. It is offered in three heights: Small (low-profile, Glock direct-to-slide mount), Tall, and Extra Tall (both red-dot compatible for suppressor or optic co-witness).

INSIDE SAFARILAND Do Handgun Silencers Have a Place in the Self Defense World Do silencers have a place in the self defense world? They may not have completely made it there yet, but I think they will be. Safariland blog article examines whether handgun silencers (suppressors) belong in self-defense applications. The author gives a cautious but optimistic ‘yes,' particularly highlighting advantages for home defense scenarios while acknowledging practical limitations. The piece discusses benefits like hearing protection for the shooter and reduced disturbance to bystanders or family members, alongside typical drawbacks such as added size, weight, and legal/regulatory requirements. THE TRUTH ABOUT GUNS Can You Shoot 5.56 Through a .22 Suppressor? – The Truth About Guns Can you shoot 5.56 through a .22 suppressor? Usually no. Here's why pressure, heat, and gas volume matter so much. The article addresses whether .556/.223 ammunition can be safely fired through a standard .22LR (rimfire) suppressor. In the general case, it is not safe or recommended. Most dedicated rimfire suppressors are engineered only for the much lower pressures, smaller gas volumes, and reduced heat produced by .22LR, .22WMR, or similar rimfire cartridges.

François Ruffin est député et journaliste, auteur de plusieurs documentaires et candidat à notre prochaine élection présidentielle.Je me méfie de moi-même quant il s'agit de faire des interviews politiques car je ne crois pas du tout que si tu parles à une personne pendant 2h tu fini par savoir ce qu'elle a dans le ventre.Alors j'ai proposé à François une discussion à bâton rompu, sur des tonnes de sujets à débuter par l'écologie comme la plus grande insécurité qu'on refuse de nommer, du logement comme premier problème de pouvoir d'achat en France, de la mondialisation que les Français n'ont jamais vraiment choisie, de l'intelligence artificielle qui menace autant les cadres que les ouvriers, et de la manière dont le Rassemblement National a construit sa progression en trois étages.J'ai questionné François Ruffin sur ses propres angles morts, sur ce que "faire ensemble" veut dire pour lui, et sur ce qu'il changerait dans l'école, la police et la fiscalité s'il en avait le pouvoir.Je crois que comme il le dit lui même c'est une discussion qu'on en entend rarement avec un politique : sans petite phrase, sans recherche de buzz, avec une vraie tentative de dire ce qu'il pense dans ses tripes.Citations marquantes"L'économie et l'argent, ce sont des imaginaires. Il n'y a pas d'argent, il n'y a pas d'économie." (00:10:01)"Si la planète était une banque, ça fait longtemps qu'on l'aurait sauvée." (01:21:58)"On a des PDG à stock-options ou propriétaires multimilliardaires qui viennent se cacher derrière la vertu du petit entrepreneur." (00:45:41)"Je crois qu'on existe par les autres et qu'on se sauve par les autres." (01:04:00)"La démocratie, ce n'est pas du consensus. C'est du conflit, mais organisé, verbalisé, institutionnalisé." (01:41:54)Idées centrales L'écologie comme la plus grosse insécurité (00:07:06) Pour Ruffin, l'écologie n'est pas un sujet parmi d'autres mais l'insécurité la plus grave qu'on refuse de traiter comme telle, parce qu'on préfère l'éviter psychologiquement plutôt que de regarder en face une "chronique d'une mort annoncée".Le logement, angle mort du pouvoir d'achat (00:27:53) La part du logement dans le budget des ménages est passée de 10 % à 30 % en vingt ans, avec des loyers en hausse de 80 % pendant que les salaires réels progressaient de 20 %. Ruffin en fait un sujet aussi central que les retraites, et un facteur direct de la chute de la natalité.Faire ensemble plutôt que vivre ensemble (01:05:47) Ruffin distingue une société qui cohabite (statique, côte à côte) d'une société qui avance vers un horizon commun.

François Ruffin est député et journaliste, auteur de plusieurs documentaires et candidat à notre prochaine élection présidentielle.Je me méfie de moi-même quant il s'agit de faire des interviews politiques car je ne crois pas du tout que si tu parles à une personne pendant 2h tu fini par savoir ce qu'elle a dans le ventre.Alors j'ai proposé à François une discussion à bâton rompu, sur des tonnes de sujets à débuter par l'écologie comme la plus grande insécurité qu'on refuse de nommer, du logement comme premier problème de pouvoir d'achat en France, de la mondialisation que les Français n'ont jamais vraiment choisie, de l'intelligence artificielle qui menace autant les cadres que les ouvriers, et de la manière dont le Rassemblement National a construit sa progression en trois étages.J'ai questionné François Ruffin sur ses propres angles morts, sur ce que "faire ensemble" veut dire pour lui, et sur ce qu'il changerait dans l'école, la police et la fiscalité s'il en avait le pouvoir.Je crois que comme il le dit lui même c'est une discussion qu'on en entend rarement avec un politique : sans petite phrase, sans recherche de buzz, avec une vraie tentative de dire ce qu'il pense dans ses tripes.Citations marquantes"L'économie et l'argent, ce sont des imaginaires. Il n'y a pas d'argent, il n'y a pas d'économie." (00:10:01)"Si la planète était une banque, ça fait longtemps qu'on l'aurait sauvée." (01:21:58)"On a des PDG à stock-options ou propriétaires multimilliardaires qui viennent se cacher derrière la vertu du petit entrepreneur." (00:45:41)"Je crois qu'on existe par les autres et qu'on se sauve par les autres." (01:04:00)"La démocratie, ce n'est pas du consensus. C'est du conflit, mais organisé, verbalisé, institutionnalisé." (01:41:54)Idées centrales L'écologie comme la plus grosse insécurité (00:07:06) Pour Ruffin, l'écologie n'est pas un sujet parmi d'autres mais l'insécurité la plus grave qu'on refuse de traiter comme telle, parce qu'on préfère l'éviter psychologiquement plutôt que de regarder en face une "chronique d'une mort annoncée".Le logement, angle mort du pouvoir d'achat (00:27:53) La part du logement dans le budget des ménages est passée de 10 % à 30 % en vingt ans, avec des loyers en hausse de 80 % pendant que les salaires réels progressaient de 20 %. Ruffin en fait un sujet aussi central que les retraites, et un facteur direct de la chute de la natalité.Faire ensemble plutôt que vivre ensemble (01:05:47) Ruffin distingue une société qui cohabite (statique, côte à côte) d'une société qui avance vers un horizon commun. Sans projet partagé, il pense qu'un peuple s'épuise dans les jalousies et les boucs émissaires, comme un couple sans projet commun.Un État colonisé de l'intérieur (00:49:07) Plutôt que de parler de lobbying, Ruffin décrit un État où les intérêts privés (pharmaceutiques en particulier) ont pénétré la décision publique de l'intérieur, citant les réunions du lobby des grands labos tenues dans les salons de l'Élysée.L'IA, un double choc pour les classes moyennes (01:28:10) Contrairement aux vagues précédentes, l'IA touche des métiers qualifiés qui se croyaient protégés par leur diplôme, en cumulant robotisation et délocalisation des postes de bureau, de comptabilité ou de design.Le Rassemblement National, une fusée à trois étages (01:49:45) Ruffin décrit le RN comme construit en couches successives : Jean-Marie Le Pen et le racisme affiché, Marine Le Pen et le discours social, Jordan Bardella et le ralliement aux milieux économiques, avec une tension naissante entre ces deux derniers étages.Questions posées dans l'interviewPourquoi l'écologie n'est-elle jamais présentée comme la insécurité qu'elle est réellement ?Comment un responsable politique peut-il agir au niveau national dans un monde mondialisé ?Le logement est-il devenu le vrai sujet du pouvoir d'achat en France ?Comment expliquer que les Français n'aient jamais vraiment choisi la mondialisation ?Faut-il taxer davantage les ultra-riches sans braquer les petits patrons ?Comment redonner une finalité claire à l'école et à la police ?L'intelligence artificielle peut-elle faire s'effondrer le capitalisme lui-même ?Pourquoi les partis politiques n'arrivent-ils plus à débattre entre eux, même à gauche ?Quels sont les angles morts de la gauche, et les vôtres ?Comment le Rassemblement National a-t-il construit sa progression électorale ?Références citéesLivres et écritsLe Progrès.

Eleanor Roosevelt and the Campaign Climax Guest: David Pietrusza Book Title: Roosevelt Sweeps Nation: FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal The 1936 campaign saw the emergence of Eleanor Roosevelt as a political star. While Republicans hid Landon's wife and some Democrats feared Eleanor was "too much" for the public, she became an indispensable asset on the campaign trail. She was particularly vital in securing the African-American vote in Northern cities. While the President refused to support an anti-lynching law for fear of alienating Southern Democrats, Eleanor campaigned for it, effectively allowing the administration to "cover the bases" separately. This outreach was crucial, as African-Americans were the hardest-hit demographic and relied heavily on New Deal relief programs. The campaign reached a fever pitch in October 1936. Despite early polls showing Landon leading, the momentum swung heavily toward Roosevelt by late summer. At a massive rally at Madison Square Garden on Halloween night, Rooseveltdelivered a speech that "would peel paint today," declaring of the "economic royalists" that "I welcome their hatred." The speech was a masterpiece of class warfare; observers noted that the violence and "naked demagoguery" of his delivery were even more powerful than the written words. This aggressive stance countered the Republican argument that the public was tired of the New Deal. Despite an unemployment rate still hovering at 13.9%, Roosevelt's ability to frame himself as the protector of the working class against oppressive wealthy interests solidified his lead heading into election day.

The Passing of Louis Howe and the Challenge of the Right Guest: David Pietrusza Book Title: Roosevelt Sweeps Nation: FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal In April 1936, the Roosevelt administration faced the looming loss of Louis Howe, the President's most trusted political advisor and mastermind behind his rise from New York State Senator to the White House. Howe's death marked a critical transition, leaving Roosevelt to navigate a reelection campaign without his "acerbically cynical" mentor. Beyond his political utility, Howe was a vital link between the President and Eleanor Roosevelt, having encouraged her early political activism following the discovery of Franklin's1917 affair. With Howe's health failing due to heavy smoking and bronchitis, Eleanor took a lead role in his care, even arranging his funeral. Simultaneously, Roosevelt faced a growing challenge from the right wing of his own party, led by former mentor Al Smith. Smith, disaffected by Roosevelt's "forgotten man" rhetoric and viewing the New Deal as class warfare, joined wealthy interests like the DuPonts to form the American Liberty League. Smith famously lambasted the New Deal at the Mayflower Hotel, claiming New Dealers had "stolen the socialist program." Despite Smith's following among Catholics and the Northeastern conservative elite, his opposition provided Roosevelt with a convenient target. The President leaned into the conflict, framing his campaign against "rich guys in silk hats" whose capitalism he had saved, yet who remained ungrateful. This tension set the stage for a campaign defined by demographic shifts and a battle for the soul of the Democratic Party. (1)

Populist Threats and the "Share Our Wealth" Movement Guest: David Pietrusza Book Title: Roosevelt Sweeps Nation: FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal As Roosevelt prepared for the 1936 election, he faced significant pressure from the populist left, most notably embodied by Huey Long of Louisiana. Long's "Share Our Wealth" program proposed seizing assets from millionaires to provide every American family with a guaranteed income, car, and radio. Though Long was assassinated in September 1935, his legacy and the millions of members in his clubs remained a potent threat to Roosevelt's base. Long's strategy had been to siphon enough votes to elect a Republican in 1936, hoping the ensuing failure would lead the nation to turn to him as the "man on the white horse" in 1940. In the South, Eugene "Old Gene" Talmadge of Georgia represented a different brand of populism, blending race-baiting with Jeffersonian conservatism. Talmadge refused to fund New Deal welfare programs despite local need, accusing the administration of communist influence. In January 1936, he hosted a rally in Macon, Georgia, where supporters displayed Confederate flags and engaged in aggressive red-baiting. These challengers highlighted the fragile nature of Roosevelt's 1932 coalition, which relied on the "solid South" despite its crushing Jim Crow laws. The President had to neutralize these "crackpot ideas" while addressing the genuine suffering of the Great Depression. This internal party friction necessitated a strategy that could bridge the gap between radical populists and the traditional Democratic machine, all while the nation looked toward the growing needs of the elderly and the unemployed. (2)

The Townsend Plan and the Radio Priest Guest: David Pietrusza Book Title: Roosevelt Sweeps Nation: FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal Two unconventional figures heavily influenced Roosevelt's 1936 strategy: Dr. Francis Townsend and Father Charles Coughlin. Townsend, a physician, gained a massive following with his plan to provide $200 a month to everyone over 60, provided they retired and spent the money within 30 days. Though Roosevelt initially disliked the idea of "government checks," the political pressure from Townsend Clubs forced his hand. Consequently, Social Security was introduced largely as a reactive measure to neutralize Townsend's momentum. Meanwhile, Father Coughlin, a Canadian-born Roman Catholic priest, became a radio sensation with a voice that rivaled Roosevelt's for intimacy and warmth. Initially a supporter who coined the phrase "Roosevelt or Ruin," Coughlin turned against the President when he felt his influence on monetary policy was ignored. In a surreal meeting arranged by Joseph P. Kennedy at Hyde Park in September 1935 — the morning after Huey Long's death — Coughlin and FDR spent six hours conferring. The meeting failed to reconcile them, and Coughlin soon teamed up with Townsend and Gerald L.K. Smith to form the Union Party. They nominated Congressman William Lemke to run for president, hoping to force the election into the House of Representatives. However, as political amateurs, they struggled to even get on the ballot in major states like New York or California, ultimately failing to derail the Roosevelt machine. (3)

Splinter Parties and the Global Shadow Guest: David Pietrusza Book Title: Roosevelt Sweeps Nation: FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal Beyond populist insurgents, Roosevelt had to contend with the Socialistand Communist parties, which held significant sway in urban centers. The Socialists, led by Norman Thomas, appealed to the intellectual "proto-faction" in New York City, drawing hundreds of thousands of votes. More complex was the role of the Communist Party USA, led by Earl Browder, who was hand-picked by Stalin for his compliance. Under Stalin's"Popular Front" strategy to combat Hitler, the Communists shifted from attacking Roosevelt as a "tool of Wall Street" to offering a deceptive endorsement. Browder realized an open endorsement would be the "kiss of death," so the party ran its own campaign while focusing its firepower on Roosevelt's opponents. This radicalism extended to the Midwest with the Farmer-Labor Party, led by figures like Minnesota Governor Floyd Olson. Olson, a radical agrarian who also harbored presidential ambitions for 1940, presided over a volatile political climate where political violence was not uncommon. These movements reflected a "different political geography" where radical agrarianism and urban socialism threatened to peel away parts of the Democratic electorate. Roosevelt remained wary of these factions, particularly in New York and California, where they were most active. Internationally, the brewing Spanish Civil War and the rise of European dictators added urgency to the domestic political landscape, as the Communists sought to keep Roosevelt in power as a potential ally against fascism.

William Randolph Hearst and the "Soak the Rich" Tensions Guest: David Pietrusza Book Title: Roosevelt Sweeps Nation: FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal One of the most formidable figures Roosevelt had to manage was media tycoon William Randolph Hearst, who controlled a vast empire of 28 newspapers and eight radio stations. Hearst's political allegiances were notoriously fickle; he had supported Roosevelt in 1932 only after caving to pressure to avoid a candidate he liked even less. However, as the New Deal moved leftward, Hearst became increasingly hostile. His power was so great that in 1934 he visited Adolf Hitler in Berlin. While Hearst claimed the meeting was brief, other accounts suggest a longer discussion where Hearst attempted to raise the issue of the persecution of Jews, though the visual of the meeting severely damaged his reputation. The final break between Hearst and Roosevelt came over the President's "Soak the Rich" tax program. Hearst, who earned over $100 million a year, was outraged by the proposal to raise taxes on the wealthy. In response, Roosevelt privately noted that it might be necessary to "throw 46 men who make a million dollars a year to the wolves," including Hearst. Hearst subsequently ordered his editors to promote Republican candidate Alf Landon, using his "column inches" to saturate the public with pro-Landon content. Despite this media onslaught, Hearst's popularity was in decline, and Roosevelt's willingness to confront the nation's wealthiest interests resonated with a public still struggling through the Great Depression. (5)

The Selection of Alf Landon and the Republican Field Guest: David Pietrusza Book Title: Roosevelt Sweeps Nation: FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal The Republican Party in 1936 struggled to find a viable candidate to face Roosevelt's juggernaut. They rejected a return to Herbert Hoover, whose 1928 style was deemed too slow and associated with the initial collapse. Other potential nominees included William Borah, the "Lion of Idaho," a progressive maverick and isolationist whom the Republican Old Guard suspected of being a secret Roosevelt shill. Frank Knox, a former Rough Rider and newspaper man, was also considered, though he was seen as a political amateur. Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan was a more mainstream choice, credited with pushing the FDIC to stabilize banks, but he lacked national appeal. Ultimately, the party settled on Alf Landon, the Governor of Kansas, often called the "Kansas Coolidge." Landon was an unremarkable millionaire who had balanced the budget in Kansas, making him a "rock star" by depressed Republican standards. His path to the nomination was paved by Hearst's endorsement and the fact that he was "none of the above" in a limited talent pool. However, Landon was a terrible radio performer in an era dominated by charismatic speakers. Father Coughlin even advised the Republican chairman to get Landon off the campaign trail, suggesting they "say that he broke a leg" to explain his absence. This lack of charisma, combined with Landon's status as a "progressive Republican" who didn't plan to dismantle the New Deal, left him with a weak and uncompelling message. (6)

The Contenders: FDR, Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover Guest: David Pietrusza This segment introduces the rising stars of the 1920s: Franklin D. Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover. At age 38, FDR was an ambitious Assistant Secretary of the Navy who, despite his famous name, was considered "not ready for prime time" due to early political mistakes and a strained marriage following an affair with Lucy Mercer. Conversely, Governor Calvin Coolidgegained national fame for his decisive handling of the Boston police strike. Known for his Vermont-bred rectitude and "upstanding" persona, Coolidge was viewed as a man of few words but great reliability. Meanwhile, Herbert Hooverwas the "great engineer" and humanitarian who had fed millions in Europe. His popularity was so immense that FDRonce proposed a joint Hoover-Roosevelt Democratic ticket. Though Hoover eventually identified as a Republican, his systematic, modern approach to government made him a formidable figure for either party as the 1920 conventions approached. (3)1919

The 1936 Landslide and Political Realignment Guest: David Pietrusza Book Title: Roosevelt Sweeps Nation: FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal Election night 1936 at Hyde Park began with nervous anticipation, as many — including the Literary Digest — still expected a close race. However, early returns from New Haven, Connecticut, showing a 15,000-vote victory for Roosevelt, signaled an impending "swamping" of the Electoral College. Roosevelt himself was shocked by the margins, initially believing the teletype machines were being read incorrectly. The final result was a massive landslide: Roosevelt carried 46 out of 48 states, losing only Maine and Vermont. The victory brought massive coattails, resulting in 74 Democratic Senators and 334 Democratic House members. This election marked the permanent realignment of American politics, creating the modern Democratic coalition. Roosevelt carried 104 of the nation's 106 largest cities, losing only Pasadena and Syracuse. This shift was driven largely by the children of immigrants who had come of age in the 1930s and "flopped down" for Roosevelt. The Literary Digest poll, which had been right for decades, was famously humiliated, having failed to account for the shifting demographics of the electorate. Roosevelt's victory was more than a mandate; it was a total triumph of the liberal ideal and the big-city machine. The President returned to Hyde Park not just as a reelected leader, but as the architect of a new political era that would dominate the American landscape for decades to come. (8)1936

Legacies of the 1920s: Hoover and Roosevelt Guest: David Pietrusza The final segment contrasts the presidencies of Herbert Hoover and FDR, the last of the six presidents from the 1920 cycle. Hoover, despite rising from "great poverty" to become a "great engineer," struggled with a cold public persona that failed to rally the nation during the Great Depression. Conversely, the wealthy FDR was transformed by his battle with polio, which observers like Frances Perkins believed allowed him to empathize more deeply with human suffering. FDR became a master of radio and newsreels, using them to refine his communication and build a broad "progressive coalition." Crucially, Roosevelt learned from Wilson's failure to compromise on the Versailles Treaty; when he later championed the United Nations, he made sure to involve Republicans in the process. By applying the hard lessons of the 1920 election, FDR successfully realized the internationalist vision that had eluded Wilson. (8)1920

The 1920 Democratic Convention and the Ohio Connection Guest: David Pietrusza Meeting in San Francisco, the Democrats faced a grueling nomination process dictated by the "two-thirds rule," which required 44 ballots to select James M. Cox. The convention was overshadowed by a frail Woodrow Wilson, who still harbored secret hopes for a third term despite his inability to even put in a full day's work. The contest featured William Gibbs McAdoo, Wilson's"dry" son-in-law, and the "moderately wet" Cox. The atmosphere was further charged by the recent Palmer Raids and anarchist bombings. Al Smith emerged as the first viable Roman Catholic candidate, though his time would not come until years later. Ultimately, the party chose Franklin D. Roosevelt as the vice-presidential nominee. FDR was selected largely for his famous last name and to move him out of New York state politics, where he had been a troublesome figure for the Tammany Hall machine. (5)1920

  Campaigning on the Front Porch and the League of Nations Guest: David Pietrusza The 1920 campaign highlighted a stark contrast in styles: Harding's "front porch" campaign versus the active touring of Cox and FDR. Despite his reputation for "bloviating," Harding was a polished public speaker with a modern voice who understood how to avoid trouble. A pivotal moment occurred when Cox and FDR met a shockingly frail Wilson, leading Cox to commit fully to the League of Nations as his primary campaign issue. Pietrusza argues this was a tactical error, as the public was increasingly skeptical of international commitments. Meanwhile, the Socialist candidate Eugene Debs campaigned from a federal penitentiary, having been jailed for sedition. Though Debs won less than a million votes, his platform — containing ideas like Social Security — laid the groundwork for future American policy. This era marked the birth of modern political communication and the "next generation" of leadership. (6)

In the 1930s, with the US in the throes of the Great Depression, President Franklin Roosevelt offered a sweeping job creation agenda. That included jobs for artists, and New Deal programs produced some of the most memorable American art in history.40 years later, another president, Richard Nixon, signed the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act. And like in the New Deal, artists were included and were successful in ushering a new era for public art.An exhibition at the Delaware Art Museum — "Citizen Artist" — celebrates those two eras. In this edition of Arts Playlist, Delaware Public Media's Martin Matheny spoke with the museum's Head Curator and Curator of Contemporary Art Margaret Winslow, and Lynn Herrick Sharp Curatorial Fellow Dorothy Fisher to learn more about it.

Historian Bill Federer visits again with Watchman on the Wall to inspire us with more Miracles in American History, Amazing Stories of Answered Prayer. Dr. Federer begins this episode by turning the spotlight on the God-honoring American military leaders in World War II, such as Eisenhower, Patton, and MacArthur, as well as the now-famous D-Day Prayer from President FDR. Once again, America was blessed with victory. Dr. Federer closes the program with an eye to the skies with stories of astronauts' unique perspectives on the God of the universe – and the historian's own insights into an infinite God who loves His finite creations so much that He gave them the free will to choose whether they will love Him or themselves for eternity.

This episode reframes the Declaration of Independence as more than soaring ideals about equality and natural rights. Former California Supreme Court Justice Mariano-Florentino “Tino” Cuéllar argues the text contains an underappreciated architecture of government: accountability to citizens, managing political conflict across regions, and establishing legitimate authority both domestically and in the international order. The result is a Declaration that reads like a nation-building document designed to make a new state workable after revolution. Responding to Cuéllar, Larry Kramer—former Stanford Law dean, a leading scholar of democratic constitutionalism, and now president of the London School of Economics—adds a grounding historical frame: in 1776, the Declaration was shaped as much by law as by philosophy. Kramer argues the grievances were understood as claims that Britain had violated the colonies' constitutional rights under the British customary constitution, which helps explain why the Declaration's “structural” ideas are often implicit rather than spelled out as a blueprint. Together, Cuéllar and Kramer show how the Declaration operates in two registers: a practical indictment of governmental failure and a foundational text later generations repeatedly reinterpret to justify (or resist) evolving structures of American governance. Their exchange highlights a central tension that persists—between universal promises and the administrative choices that determine how, and for whom, those promises are implemented.

Host Michael McConnell sets up the episode's core premise and introduces guests Mariano-Florentino “Tino” Cuéllar and Larry Kramer to explore the Declaration's structural dimensions. [00:05:21] Chapter 2 — Cuéllar's thesis: “Text vs. territory” and the Declaration as state-building Cuéllar argues the Declaration is not just a creed; it catalogs governance failures under George III and implies the need for a sovereign that can function at home and abroad. [00:06:04] Chapter 3 — The Freedom Train as a case study in ideals meeting administration (1947–48) Using the racially integrated Freedom Train—and its refusal to stop in segregated cities—Cuéllar spotlights the friction between universal principles and on-the-ground governance. [00:13:07] Chapter 4 — 1890–1950: expansion of the administrative state and contested equality Cuéllar walks through key moments (Du Bois/Niagara Movement, Wilson at Independence Hall, Becker vs. Coolidge, FDR's “Second Bill of Rights,” Ho Chi Minh quoting Jefferson) to show how the Declaration structures recurring fights over equality, borders, and state capacity. [00:28:51] Chapter 5 — Kramer's response: the Declaration's legal-constitutional origins and how texts evolve Kramer argues the Declaration was fundamentally a legal brief grounded in the British customary constitution; its grievances alleged constitutional violations, and later generations repurpose founding texts to frame new disputes.

The Phillies have been hot and within striking distance of the Braves as the City of Brotherly Love prepares for the 96th MLB All-Star Game. We celebrate July 4th by remembering the courage of our Founding Fathers in 1776. We conclude the podcast with Ed Kasputis interviewing American author and journalist, Randall Sullivan about his book, The First All-Star Game: Babe Ruth, FDR and America at the Crossroads.

Episode 4167 │ July 2, 2026 Adams nominated Washington, pushed Jefferson to write the Declaration, worked every delegate in the room — and history gave the credit to everyone else. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson opens with John Adams not as the famous founder but as the operator — the man who served on more committees than any other delegate, nominated Washington for command because a Virginia general would unify the southern colonies, pushed Jefferson to write the Declaration because a Virginian's hand would carry more weight, and then worked every wavering delegate through six weeks of debate until twelve colonies voted yes on July 2, 1776 — the date Adams believed would be remembered forever, wrong again as history chose July 4th instead. The episode traces what that service actually cost: ten years of letters across the Atlantic to Abigail, who held Braintree alone while he held the republic together; the death of his son Charles at thirty from liver failure, a grief Adams never found words for; the loss of the presidency because he chose peace with France over Hamilton's war and the Federalist Party fractured and never recovered — and Adams said later he wanted no other inscription on his gravestone than that he had taken upon himself the responsibility of peace. The episode closes with Adams moving into an unfinished White House in November 1800, writing a prayer for the house and all who would inhabit it — not for publication, not for posterity, but because he believed it — a prayer Franklin Roosevelt found a century later and had inscribed on the State Dining Room mantel, where it remains today, the last act of a man who spent his life being right about the things that mattered and wrong about the things history remembered. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED What did Adams actually do to make independence happen — and why does the operational record of committee work, delegate management, and strategic nomination reveal a founder history consistently undervalues in favor of the more famous names in the room? What did the revolution cost John and Abigail Adams personally — and what does the death of their son Charles, and Adams's lifelong inability to write about it, reveal about the human price of selfless service that monuments never show? Why did Adams choose peace with France over Hamilton's war, knowing it would cost him the presidency and destroy his party — and what does his requested gravestone inscription reveal about how he measured the worth of what he had done?

“P” is for Progressive Democratic Party. Aware that many White Democrats in South Carolina opposed President Franklin D. Roosevelt's reelection to a fourth term, African American activists sought to demonstrate their loyalty to the National Party by mobilizing Black support for the president. By May 1944, that effort had morphed into the Progressive Democratic Party (PDP).

Hello! And welcome to The Dana Gould Hour podcast. Fasten your fun belts, we are blasting off, yet again.   We are joined today by legends. You heard me. Mark Frost is a legendary writer, first in television. He started out on The Six Million Dollar Man, moved on to Hill Street Blues, co-created Twin Peaks with David Lynch. In motion pictures, he wrote and directed the film Storyville, he wrote the 2005 The Fantastic Fourand its sequel Rise Of The Silver Surfer and he has a new book out entitled Yankee Sphinx, which tells the story of FDR from just before America's involvement in World War II up through his death. It's told through the eyes of FDR's Great Uncle, Will Hasset, who worked as FDR's speech writer and press attaché, one might say. We cover a lot of topics and a lot of ground and I am super happy that Mr. Frost sat down and gave me his time.   Gary Rhodes is a writer and film historian who has written, among many other titles, a multi-volume set on the strange life and career of Bela Lugosi. He's written about Ed Wood, he wrote the book Horror At The Drive In, Essays In Popular Americana and he has an excellent new book out entitled Weirdumentary: Ancient Aliens, Fallacious Prophecies and Mysterious Monsters from 1970's Documentaries. Before streaming, before cable, before the History Channel and Ancient Aliens, these topics were explored in documentaries at your local Cineplex. Many were produced by the late great, Sunn Classic Pictures. UFOs, Elvis, Bigfoot, they're all here, in the pages of Weirdumentary, and we're a-gonna talk about it.   And now, it's on, to our filthy business.

Most empires never write their plans down, but the American empire did. In 1950 a top-secret government document called NSC-68 laid out the blueprint for permanent war: a militarized economy, a nuclear buildup without limit, and a posture of global confrontation that would outlast the men who wrote it. It is the founding doctrine beneath every operation in this series.In this episode we take a deep dive into how NSC-68 was written and by whom, and its role in shaping the trillion-dollar war economy still running today.This is part of the first season of Socialist History, our new series on The Socialist Program. In each episode we unpack a different CIA or Pentagon operation or document that shaped US imperialism.Join The Socialist Program community at www.patreon.com/thesocialistprogram to get access to the next episodes in this series, more exclusive content, and help keep this show on the air.Archival notes:0:10 - Alex Jones, host of Infowars (2017)0:16 - Pres.

Astrologers Chris Brennan and Patrick Watson explore the ancient timing technique known as Babylonian goal year periods, which can be used to identify repeating transits and events over very long spans of time. Recovered from the astronomical diaries of Mesopotamian sky watchers in the first millennium BCE, these periods demonstrate how the visible planets repeat their exact zodiacal placements and phase relationships with the Sun over predictable intervals. Our discussion breaks down the math behind these synodic cycles and highlights how repetition is the ultimate key to prediction in both mundane and natal astrology. By examining compelling historical case studies for each of the traditional planets, from the 1929 Wall Street Crash to major breakthroughs in modern communication technology, we show how tracking these ancient cycles allows astrologers to identify profound historical recurrences and project future events with stunning accuracy.
