Podcasts about George Washington

A war is a series of battles won.  The American Revolution is no different.  For the colonies and George Washington to beat the larger British military force, individual battles had to be fought.  One victory won by the Patriots early on, did not involve a direct battle.  The Fortification of Dorchester Heights, and the subsequent British Evacuation of Boston, exemplifies the early genius of General Washington and the fortitude of hero Henry Knox.  Join our special guest, Professor Robert Allison, Professor of History at Suffolk University and Chair of Revolution 250, as we learn about these incredible events.

America's Founding Fathers feared a standing army would inevitably threaten civilian governance. Yet 250 years later, the U.S. military remains a strange outlier among nearly every nation that has ever existed—maintaining its strength and popularity while never attempting a coup. How did America get this right when so many other nations, from Turkey to Latin America, have seen their militaries seize power? The story begins with George Washington, who inspired mutinous soldiers to become the first army in a thousand years not to threaten democracy. But Washington's example alone doesn't explain America's success. Structural factors—dispersed urban centers, a benign international security environment, and urgent domestic threats from Native American conflicts—created a weak federal army and strong militia system that prevented military consolidation of power. Today's guest is Kori Schake, author of The State and the Soldier: A History of Civil-Military Relations in the United States. We see many counter-intuitivie things, like how the Founding Fathers had it backwards. The creation of a professional military actually reduced challenges to civilian control. We know this because key crises tested this system that the US military was able to overcome without seizing power. They include Alexander Hamilton's ambitions to raise an army for foreign conquest, Aaron Burr's plot to overthrow the United States, Andrew Jackson's unauthorized invasion of Florida, Ulysses S. Grant navigating feuds between president and Congress, Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus, Truman's firing of MacArthur during the Korean War, and confusion over nuclear launch authority during the Cold War. As the public increasingly pulls the military into partisan divisions, the question remains: can America's exceptional civil-military relations endure?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I canot tell a lie...

It's December 26th, 1776. Gen. George Washington has just successfully gotten 2,400 men from the Continental Army across the Delaware River from Pennsylvania into New Jersey. The first year of the American Revolution has been a difficult one. The young United States has had few victories battling the highly skilled British army and their paid German mercenaries, the Hessians. Washington has retreated from New York after sustaining significant losses during the Battle of Long Island. Morale is low. Supplies even lower. Men are deserting. And it seems like the American Experiment is doomed before it's really gotten started.It is bitterly cold. In fact, the other detachments of 3,000 American troops never make it across the freezing river. Washington's troops that did make it across the dangerous river crossing arrived several hours later than planned. The element of surprise might be lost.But none of that matters at this moment. At this moment, Washington is in Trenton leading his troops on a surprise attack. Then, the first shots ring out as the Americans caught the Hessians off guard.The Battle of Trenton was not a grand, orderly clash of polished armies. It was desperate, freezing, chaotic and brutally human.While the battle itself lasted less than an hour, the victory at Trenton revived the Revolution. It proved the Continental Army could beat professional soldiers. It convinced many whose enlistments were about to expire to stay.More than a battle, it was a turning point — a moment when a failing rebellion felt, for the first time in months, like it might survive. Now, while there's plenty of state parks in Pennsylvania that highlight important history, people, communities, industries, resources, flora, fauna, animals and more. There aren't many that highlight one specific event.Washington Crossing Historic Park does just that. This episode will go into detail about this all-important surprise attack, but we'll also delve into much more than just that one moment in time. As much as this park is meant to celebrate the brave actions of the Continental Army during the American Revolution, it also serves as a wonderful river-side escape for those looking to spend time outside. On this episode, I speak with Kimberly McCarty. Kim is the museum curator at Washington Crossing Historic Park.Be sure to support our 2025 sponsors:Keystone Trails AssociationPurple Lizard MapsPennsylvania Parks and Forests FoundationSisters' SunflowersDiscover Clarion CountyGo Laurel Highlands Support the showVisit our website to learn more about the podcast, to purchase merch and to find out about our incredible sponsors.

Jesień 1777. Wzgórza nad rzeką Hudson w stanie Nowy York.7 tysięcy najlepszych brytyjskich żołnierzy maszeruje na Albany. Jeśli tam dotrą, Ameryka wraca pod koronę. Na ich drodze pozornie nic nie stoi.W tym odcinku zobaczysz, co się dzieje, gdy kompetencja spotyka ignorancję. Gdy jedna zignorowana rada prowadzi do katastrofy, a jedna wysłuchana zmienia losy wojny. I zadasz sobie pytanie: Czy potrafisz budować w ciszy, gdy nikt nie patrzy?To historia o porażce zamienionej w zwycięstwo.

Is Trump using America's 250th anniversary to rebrand the USA in his own gaudy, aggressive, white nationalist image? There'll be a “Patriot Games” high school athletics tournament, quickly dubbed America's Hunger Games. Commemorative quarter coins have been scrubbed of any “woke” content. There'll be mixed martial arts on the White House lawn. And Trump's organisers of the celebrations are charging for access to the President. What would George Washington think? South Carolina political commentator, historical preservationist and navy veteran Mike Bedenbaugh is the author of a new book, Reviving Our Republic. He tells Andrew Harrison why the “Semiquincentennial” is a last-ditch chance for America to rediscover its purpose.  • This edition was recorded before America's attack on Iran.  www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Written and presented by Andrew Harrison.

In 2026, we celebrate 250 years since our Declaration of Independence. In honor of this milestone in our country's history, we'll be placing an extra emphasis on the American Founding in episodes and with guests this year. And there's no better place to start on this theme than in the James Wilson Institute's backyard, historic Old Town Alexandria, Virginia the home of the Institute since 2021, and with the father of our country George Washington for whom Alexandria was his adopted hometown.Our guest has written a new book weaving the story of Washington's life with the growth of Alexandria from the mid 18th century onward. That guest is local historian Tim Rose, author of George Washington and Alexandia, A Founding Friendship. Tim is the founder and owner of Alexandria History Tours. In addition to being a published author, he is a proud Marine Corps veteran who lives in Old Town Alexandria. Learn more about Tim and Alexandria History ToursBuy the book from AmazonOur guest wishes to express his regret for misspeaking the date of George Washington's death around the 59-minute mark. Washington died on December 14, 1799.

The State of the Union Address is one of the most anticipated political events of the year. Of course, it's surrounded by tradition and ceremony. All three branches of the federal government gather in the House Chamber, the galleries pack with guests from every walk of life, the pundits gather their audiences, and the cameras all focus on one carefully crafted message from the leader of the free world.  But it's not just custom or tradition that gives rise to this historic event every year. It actually goes all the way back to the American founding, to the Constitution itself. Article II, Section 3, Clause 1 of the constitution reads as follows:  The President “shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” George Washington, then, was the first to give an address to congress. His eventual successor, Thomas Jefferson, submitted his remarks in writing, which set a precendent of written States of the Union. Over a century later, in 1913, Woodrow Wilson restored the practice of giving the speech in person. And that custom has stood to this day.  Last night, we heard President Donald Trump give the first State of the Union address of his second term. The speech covered many of his accomplishments over the first year of this administration. Here to walk us through it is Dan West, Government Relations Director at Heritage Action for America.  --- Thoughts? Questions?

With 2026 underway, we thought we'd check in with office in charge of running the Capitol, the building that is. It's been over 230 years since George Washington laid the cornerstone for the building, and obviously it's come a long way. To find out what's in store for the future, Federal Drive host Terry Gerton talked to the one person who best knows that answer, Architect of the Capitol Thomas Austin.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on "50 Weeks That Shaped America," we're headed to the winter of 1777-1778 and the strategic retreat by the Continental Army to Valley Forge, PA. Over the course of that winter, George Washington worked to turn the army from a group of ragtag militias into a unified force -- all with the help of a mysterious Prussian general. Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss how Valley Forge was effectively a pop-up city, and how it reflected what would come in an independent United States.Join our America250 newsletter community!

National FFA Week: The February 23 edition of the AgNet News Hour put the spotlight on one of the most influential youth organizations in agriculture, the National FFA Organization. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill opened the program discussing improving weather conditions across California as bloom season approaches, but the heart of the show focused on celebrating National FFA Week and the leadership pipeline shaping agriculture's future. Joining the program was Christy Meyer, Marketing and Communications Director for the National FFA Organization. Meyer shared that FFA now serves more than one million members nationwide, with over 9,000 chapters across all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Established in 1948, National FFA Week was strategically designed to include George Washington's birthday, honoring his agricultural roots and reinforcing farming's foundational role in America. Throughout the week, chapters host service projects, alumni celebrations, advisor appreciation events, and community outreach efforts. One of the most impactful days is Advisor Appreciation Day, recognizing agricultural educators who often serve as mentors well beyond the classroom. Papagni emphasized that nearly every FFA member he has interviewed credits a teacher or advisor for life-changing guidance. Meyer noted that FFA participation does not require growing up on a farm. Students enroll through agricultural education courses that range from animal science and plant science to agricultural technology and agribusiness. The organization prepares students for more than 300 agriculture-related career pathways, including food science, engineering, communications, research, and emerging ag technologies. Leadership development remains the cornerstone of the organization. Public speaking, critical thinking, community service, and hands-on supervised agricultural experiences (SAEs) equip members with marketable skills that translate well beyond agriculture. McGill shared his own background studying agricultural education and acknowledged how FFA builds confidence and professionalism in young leaders. The program also touched on broader agricultural policy developments, including federal efforts to prioritize domestic glyphosate and phosphate production. Hosts noted that strengthening agricultural inputs at home could help stabilize costs for growers nationwide. As bloom season begins and spring approaches, the message was clear: the future of agriculture depends not only on technology and policy, but on cultivating the next generation of leaders. National FFA Week serves as a reminder that agriculture's strength lies in its people, and the young men and women proudly wearing blue jackets today may soon be leading farms, companies, and communities tomorrow.

A battle is brewing between an angry Federal Judge in Philadelphia, the Third Circuit Court of appeals and the Trump Administration, that wants to deny that slavery existed in this country and white wash immutable facts that our founding fathers owned slaves and erase that fact from a tribute to George Washington's slaves at a historic site in Philly dedicated to our nation's founding. Popok reports on Judge Rufe second order in 48 hours compelling the Trump Administration to restore the site they defaced WITH A CROWBAR, as Trump runs to the Third Circuit hoping that he will get one of his former criminal defense lawyers as a judge on the case!

What are we teaching our children about America, and what are we neglecting?Jenn is joined by Katie Broussard, founder of The Littlest Statesmen and author of The Great George Washington, the first book in a seven-part series that introduces young children to the lives and characters of America's Founders. A simple question from her three-year-old daughter about the Fourth of July led Katie to recognize how few resources exist to teach young children about the nation's history, ideals, and sacrifices. That realization became a calling.In this conversation, Katie explains why the early years matter in shaping a child's understanding of country, responsibility, and gratitude. She shares why stories of figures like George Washington and Betsy Ross belong alongside the fairy tales children already know. The discussion also examines why expressing appreciation for America's founding principles has become divisive and what that shift means for families.Find more from her at https://www.thelittleststatesmen.comMake sure you're following Them Before Us across all of our social media platforms, subscribe on thembeforeus.substack.com and consider joining our TBU Ambassador program!

Is the Trump administration about to admit the existence of aliens? Glenn reacts to President Trump discussing the potential declassification of classified documents on extraterrestrial life for public viewing. Glenn takes calls from his audience to discuss topics such as the Epstein files and the possibility of alien life. During a recent interview, former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice warned companies that once the Democrats retake power, they will go after those who worked with Trump. Glenn tells the uplifting story of American figure skater Alysa Lui, whose father escaped communist China, as Alysa just won the gold medal for figure skating in the Winter Olympics. In a shocking decision, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Trump does not have the tariff authority he claimed, effectively ending most of his tariffs. Neuroscientist Axel Bouchon joins to discuss what happens in our brain chemistry when we're allowed to find connection over animosity.

The IRS has lost tens of thousands of employees since President Donald Trump took office – the result of DOGE, policy differences, last year's government shutdown, and layoffs. Now that we're in tax season, the agency is asking thousands of untrained employees from other departments to help with taxpayer services. Those job cuts and changes could, at best, slow down your refund. At worst, the IRS could be far less able to stop scammers. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is insisting that taxpayers will be getting bigger refunds this year. The problem is, prices on basically everything are still super high – which gives people less of a chance to hold onto that money. And will anyone even remember their tax refunds when they head out to vote in November? For more, we spoke with Vanessa Williamson, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, and author of “The Price of Democracy: The Revolutionary Power of Taxation in American History.”And in headlines, Arizona Republicans want to send ICE officers to polling places, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg takes the stand in a case weighing if social media platforms deliberately addict and harm children, and the Trump administration pushes back against a court order to restore an exhibit on people enslaved by George Washington in Philadelphia.Show Notes: Check out Vanessa's book – brookings.edu/books/the-price-of-democracy/ Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8 What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

You might recall that, just a few weeks ago, the Trump administration tore down an exhibit in Philadelphia - a public exhibit that documented American history, including an exhibit about nine people enslaved by George Washington at his former home in Philadelphia. On Presidents' Day, Judge Cynthia Rufe, (who, incidentally, was appointed to the bench by another George - George W. Bush) - quoted George Orwell's "1984" in her opinion. She ruled that the Trump administration likely violated the law and she ordered them to restore the slavery exhibit. It seems the federal judiciary will not allow Trump and his flunkies to violated the law in their efforts to whitewash American history and try to bury evidence of America's original sin - slavery.

Rachel Maddow shares highlights from a judge's remarks in rejecting Donald Trump's power to dismantle a national monument i Philadelphia to hide the fact that George Washington owned slaves.

From the American people’s first resistance to attacks on their God-given or “inalienable” rights, through the dramatic battlefield events of the Revolution and General George Washington’s pivotal faith-based leadership, to the climactic surrender of Cornwallis’s British army at Yorktown, God was directing the course of History. Rod Gragg will join us to expose the long-overlooked but critical element that kept alive the American War for Independence and motivated the ultimate victory that established the United States of America. In the words of George Washington: “The Hand of Providence has been so conspicuous in all this, that he must be worse than an infidel that lacks faith. . . .”Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

America's founders warned us about political parties — and today we are living inside that warning. In this episode, I break down how the modern GOP, the courts, immigration policy, and foreign policy failures all connect to the same structural problem George Washington predicted over 200 years ago. Why does the Right keep losing even after winning elections? Why are deportations stalled, courts overruling policy, and voters feeling unrepresented? The answer may not be bad politicians — it may be the system itself. I explain why the "Uniparty" is stronger than ever. We dive deep into George Washington's farewell address and his prophetic warning about the dangers of political factions. I also tackle foreign policy and the shocking alignment with Qatar and Turkey, the betrayal of the Kurds in Syria, and the abandonment of U.S. pilots in Guinea. It's time to stop waiting for a savior and start building a parallel movement for ordered liberty. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

George Washington was a leader of the American colonies during the Revolutionary War and later became the first president of the United States. As commander of the Continental Army, he helped guide American forces through many difficult battles. After independence, people trusted him to help shape the new nation's government.

Black Inventions, Thomas Jefferson's Black Children, Harriet Tubman, Tuskegee Airmen, Redlining etc… The “Tuskegee Airmen” is just a myth btw “Redlining” literally wasn't a real thing btw “Black Wall Street” was not real and the “Tulsa Race Massacre” didn't happen btw They like John Brown because they want to be able to kill your family for “anti-racism” and “trans rights” btw Top 10 things black people claim they invented but actually didn't btw The “Harriet Tubman” legend is literally a myth invented by like 2 Communist writers btw Black nationalists thought that Liberia was going to be Wakanda and then showed up there only to find slavery and then get deported for being mad about it btw Thomas Jefferson didn't actually have a kid with his slave btw Europeans didn't have to go capture Africans in the jungle like on TV because they were already being sold by other Africans for like a thousand years btw Black people were enslaving other black people on American soil before George Washington was even born btw The “Rosa Parks” story is literally not even approximately true btw John Doyle https://x.com/JohnDoyle    @JohnDoyle· John Doyle @JohnDoyle Patriot @theblaze USA YouTube.com/JohnDoyle 124.3K Followers

Why do we tell our kids stories? Why do we tell them about history? Teach them about George Washington, Martin Luther King, Cinncinatus, Florence Nightingale, Jesus, Marcus Aurelius? Because it matters.
