On November 4, 1979, a group of Iranian Revolutionaries stormed the American Embassy in Tehran, Iran, and took 66 American diplomats and citizens hostage. Over the next 444 days, the hostage crisis dominated the news and became the single biggest foreign policy issue for both the United States and Iran. Even after the hostages were released, it has affected US/Iranian relations for the last four decades.

On Friday, A'ndre chatted with Dr. Lindsay Chervinsky, a presidential historian and Executive Director of the George Washington Presidential Library, to explore President Jimmy Carter's presidential and post-presidential foreign policy legacy following his passing at age 100. The discussion began by addressing public reactions to Carter's death and why the dichotomy of a “failed presidency but outstanding post-presidency” is misleading. Dr. Chervinsky highlighted Carter's foreign policy achievements, including the Camp David Accords, normalization of relations with China, handling of the Cold War, and the Panama Canal Treaty, as well as Carter's difficulties in dealing with the Iranian Hostage Crisis and inflation.They examined Carter's presidency in the context of the geopolitical landscape of the late 1970s and his approach to diplomacy, contrasting his administration with the subsequent Reagan era. The conversation also touched on Carter's post-presidential influence on foreign policy through the Carter Center and drew parallels between his legacy redefinition and that of John Quincy Adams.

In this episode, we look back at John Connally's relationship to President Richard Nixon. In this episode we feature two calls, one just after Nixon was re-elected President when you see that Connally has enormous influence over the President. He is giving the President advice on how to conduct the second term and which changes he needs to consider making for that term. In another call we listen as the men discuss an incident that had occured at the White House just the day before. President Nixon had invited the Ray Coniff Singers to perform for a reception honoring the publishers of the magazine "The Reader's Digest" (My Dad's favorite magazine) . Just as the program was about to begin one of the singers, Carol Firace , confronted the President and implored him to stop the bombing of Vietnam and for God to bless Daniel Ellsberg. Firace got kicked out of the event. We will look back at that event, the young lady it involved, the news coverage, and how it became a significant protest event in the history of the White House. Then we will listen in to President Nixon and JOhn Connally as they discuss what had happened. We hope that after these three episodes you will have a better feel as to what a major figure John Connally had been in the previous 20 years of political life in America, especially the Southwest. We hope you also can learn enough to make your own decision as to whether you think he would have tried to sabotage the Carter Administration.

Texas Governor and Nixon Administration Treasury Secretary John Connally has emerged in recent days as a possible player in activity that has long been alleged to have gone on between the campaign of Ronald Reagan and the Iranian Government. The rumor of an October surprise has been out there for years but no one could quite ever tie the entire thing together. However, just this year, after President Carter was admitted into Hospice Care, a former Texas Speaker of the House, and well known political player named Bill Barnes, a protege to John Connally, stepped forward with a tale that captivated the nation. That his mentor, John Connally, had traveled around the Middle East and tried to broker a deal between the Islamic militants that were holding our hostages in Tehran and the Reagan Campaign manager who was himself a former spy and would later become the CIA chief Bill Casey. Could it be true? While no evidence exists that ties Ronald Reagan to any of this activity personally, no one seems to be willing to defend Bill Casey. John Connally's name never surfaced in two separate investigations of these allegations. But it is hard not to take Bill Barnes seriously because he is a credible political figure in a way the late Anna Chennault was not when accusations arose about the 1968 election. In this episode, we will look at the life of John Connally, his influence over two United States Presidents, his place in history as a passenger in the car with John F. Kennedy when he was assassinated in Dallas, and finally the embarrassing political situation he found himself in after a disastrous run for the White House in his own right earlier in the 1980 election cycle. Which could explain how a man of such stature could have gotten himself involved in skullduggery like this accusation belies. Did John Connally really attempt to cut a deal with Iranians on behalf of the Reagan campaign? While it sounds improbable, it is a story that has a credible witness and certainly it happened at a moment when a man who had been one of the most influential figures in America had suddenly found himself on his way to political irrelevancy.

In this episode we draw the crisis to a close. Jimmy Carter has lost his bid for re-election and Ronald Reagan is on the verge of the Presidency. In this episode we take you through the story of Jimmy Carter's frantic final days as he races against time to end the hostage standoff before he leaves office. We will also take a look at the media who covered the story, mainly for ABC News. For it was under the leadership of ABC News President Roone Arledge that a new show was born, "Nightline" which had been known for a while as "America Held Hostage" . Arledge had a vision of a late night news program that could compete with "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" but he had yet to find the type of continuing story that could build a steady audience. They had covered the death of Elvis Presley but that had been sort of a one night event. The Hostage Crisis would be that story he had looked for and it would captivate the nation for 444 days. By the time the story was over, ABC News had a hit on its hand, "Nightline with Ted Koppel" was born, and they would cover those final days where Jimmy Carter would literally work, with no sleep, to the very end of his Presidency to insure that every single American Hostage would come home from Tehran, Iran, alive.

In the second episode of the long saga that would be the Iranian hostage crisis, we watch as Jimmy Carter attempts to take action into his own hands. Carter orders a rescue attempt of the hostages in Iran, Operation Eagle Claw. An operation run by an Horry County Native named General James Vaught. Operation Eagle Claw would be an operation in which it can be described best as "if it can go wrong it will" type of a military operation. It was described on Wikipedia here:"The operation, one of Delta Force's first,[2] encountered many obstacles and failures and was subsequently aborted. Eight helicopters were sent to the first staging area called Desert One, but only five arrived in operational condition.[3] One had encountered hydraulic problems, another was caught in a sand storm, and the third showed signs of a cracked rotor blade. During the operational planning, it was decided that the mission would be aborted if fewer than six helicopters remained operational upon arrival at the Desert One site, despite only four being absolutely necessary.[3] In a move that is still discussed in military circles, the field commanders advised President Carter to abort the mission, which he did.[4]As the U.S. forces prepared to withdraw from Desert One, one of the remaining helicopters crashed into a transport aircraft that contained both servicemen and jet fuel. The resulting fire destroyed both aircraft and killed eight servicemen.[3]In the context of the Iranian Revolution, Iran's new leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, stated that the mission had been stopped by an act of God ("angels of God") who had foiled the U.S. mission in order to protect Iran and his new Islamist government. "It helped seal Jimmy Carter's electoral fate, and the hostage crisis continued for 9 more grueling months......

The Iranian Hostage Crisis would last 444 days and its final day would also be the last day of the administration of Jimmy Carter. It was the singular event that seemed to spell out the frustrations of a nation that had suffered one humiliation and trauma after another for nearly two decades, from assassination of a President, to the Vietnam War that divided America to the Watergate Scandal that had removed a President from office, and now here we were at the mercy of an Islamic regime determined to take its country back to the 8th century. It seemed that we were helplessly careening out of control to the status of a failed , third rate power. In Iran, the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, had come from a dynasty that had ruled the Persian nation for nearly 1000 years. He had reformed the nation economically during his 37 year reign and it had created an economy that was flourishing, increasing the national income 423 times what it had been, a better growth rate than anywhere else on the planet, including the United States. He built the the fifth largest Army in the world and had urbanized and modernized the country like no other in the entire Middle East. He was also a friend to the United States and had embraced much of the western world's economic practices. But he had also had to crackdown on political dissent and as he did so many of the religious leaders of the Shiite Muslim faith had rebelled and considered him an enemy to their cause. Much of that was because the Shah had given women the right to vote. One cleric in particular, the Ayatollah Khomeini, was offended that he would dare put the future of Iran in the hands of women. He was further incensed when the Shah allowed Iranian Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians, and Baha'i to take the oath of office for municipal councils using their holy books instead of the Koran. Khomeini vowed then to overthrow the Shah and institute an Islamic Republic in the place of the ruling monarchy. In 1979, the political unrest turned into a full blown revolution and the Shah left the country on what was called a vacation from which he never returned. Khomeini took control and the events unfolded from their that led to our hostages being captured at the overrun American Embassy. This is that story, and the brave story of the Canadian diplomats who worked to save six Americans who had somehow missed being taken into captivity on the day the embassy was overrun. That story is worthy of being a plot of a James Bond movie, in fact, movie making would be a big part of the exit plan.

A preview of the Iranian Hostage Crisis that captured the imagination of the entire nation, frustrating American power and damaging American Self Confidence and most likely costing President Carter his re-election, while also creating one of the longest running news programs in the history of network television, ABC News "Nightline" .This Miniseries was originally three episodes but grew into a seven episode set. It will cover the hostage crisis, the 1980 election night, and a case study of a news story that broke on this subject as we were working on the miniseries, the notorious "October Surprise" accusation that has floated around for years, but has developed some credibility in the past few months, thanks to a story, based on a first hand account by a former Texas politician named Bill Barnes about former Texas Governor John Connally. The accusation that Ronald Reagan's campaign somehow may have delayed the hostage release until after the November 1989 election. We will focus on the story of the hostage crisis, then look at John Connally, the "October Surprise" accusation and John Connally's role in both the careers of Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. In this seven part mini-series within this season. It is all here in in this series, about one of the most important sagas in Modern American History.

North and South feature writer Peter McKenzie has delves into New Zealand's role in the crisis.
Retired SGM Mike Vining joins the show to discuss his legendary career as an EOD Vietnam veteran, graduate of the US Army Delta Force's first Operator Training Course (OTC-1), and his role as a master breacher, operator, and consultant for JSOC. This episode explores his experience working with the US Secret Service and the tragedy that followed. Mike shares some of the historic operations he participated in, including some of Delta Force's first missions. From Operation Eagle Claw (the military option to the Iranian Hostage Crisis), the air assault against Richmond Hill prison in Grenada, and assisting a former Navy SEAL Medal of Honor recipient-turned FBI Hostage Rescue Team commander during a prison riot in Atlanta, Georgia. Towards the end of the episode, we discuss Mike's experiences traveling the world and what he recommends for others feeling a sense of wanderlust. Surprisingly, as much as we cover in this episode, I invited Mike to join me on another episode covering the stories we didn't venture into. So stay tuned for that.
Rodney “Rocky” Sickmann United States Marine Corps Sergeant and P.O.W., Iranian Hostage CrisisAuthor, Iranian Hostage: A Personal Diary of 444 Days in CaptivityRetired U.S. Director, Military and Industry Affairs, Anheuser-Busch InBev. Senior Vice President of Budweiser Accounts, Folds of Honor_____________________________________________________________________________________ Rodney “Rocky” Sickmann graduated from Washington High School in 1976 and immediately entered the U.S. Marine Corps. In 1979, just 28 days into his tour of duty at American Embassy in Tehran, Iran, Sickmann became a player in one of the most terrifying events in U.S. history. On November 4, 1979, after months of turmoil marked by the return of the exiled Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the American Embassy in Tehran was overrun by militants and its employees taken captive. Sergeant Rocky Sickmann, then just 22, was one of 65 Americans taken hostage. Sickmann remained a hostage for 444 days before being released on Jan. 20, 1981 following 14 months of diplomacy by President Jimmy Carter.Three months later, Sickmann was Honorably Discharged after six years in the U.S. Marine Corps and received several accolades during his service including the Prisoner of War Medal, The Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Award of Valor, and Good Conduct Medal. Following the military, he began working in advertising for KMOX radio in St. Louis, Mo. and then entered the private sector for Anheuser-Busch InBev. He spent the next 34 years with the company, most recently as the U.S. National Director for Military and Industry Affairs, until his retirement in July 2016. Sickmann's personal diary, “Iranian Hostage: A Personal Diary of 444 Days in Captivity” is also the only known diary to have been smuggled out of Iran and published. The diary is no longer in publication. As the U.S. National Director for Military and Industry Affairs at Anheuser-Busch InBev, Sickmann oversaw all Military Special Events, Military and Industry Trade Media Publications, and National Industry Trade Shows. Throughout his career at Anheuser-Busch, Sickmann also played a key role in increasing Anheuser-Busch's market penetration among the Military by training wholesalers, coordinating marketing and publicity, executing national sales promotions, and planning special military events. Sickmann helped coordinate the “Here's to the Heroes Tour” which salutes the men and women of the armed forces, allowing Americans to show their support for the troops via recorded messages filmed on location at community events, celebrations, and festivals nationwide and shared with U.S. troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.Personally and professionally, Sickmann has been fortunate to share his story on many different platforms including ABC News, ESPN, Fox & Friends, Fox News, Los Angeles Times, MSNBC, NFL Time Line Series, The New York Times, to the cast of the Oscar award-winning film Argo (starring Ben Affleck), national and local Veteran and Military organizations, and educational institutions across the country. In August 2016, Sickmann's military and professional experience, coupled with his passion for our armed forces, led him to pursue an opportunity with his favorite non-profit organization: Folds of Honor. In this new role, Sickmann helps advance the Folds mission: To stand in the financial gap of the more than one million dependents adversely affected by war, providing educational scholarships to the children and spouses of those killed or disabled while serving our nation. Sickmann and his wife (40 Years), Jill, have three children, Hannah (Hannah Wehrle, Granddaughter Lela, Grandson Rhett and husband Matt Wehrle), Chelsea (Chelsea Frese, Grandson Woodson, Grandaughter Rooney and husband Kalen Frese) and Spencer.
In this episode Jennie and Dianne pay homage to America's military veterans as they explore America's Cemetery and the Avenue of Flags in Hermitage, Pennsylvania. Formerly known as Hillcrest Memorial Park, America's Cemetery honors veterans who have served in every American conflict since World War I. The avenue of flags was established in order to recognize the hostages during the Iranian Hostage Crisis from 1979 to 1981. America's Cemetery has now become the final resting place to the cremains of hundreds of American soldiers and they are constantly working to become the final resting place to thousands of unclaimed veteran's cremains across the U.S. Join us for this special Veteran's Day edition of the Ordinary Extraordinary Cemetery.To learn more about America's Cemetery or the The Avenue of 444 Flags Foundation, please visit their website:https://www.avenueofflags.com/Additional resources for this episode include:https://www.poetryfoundation.org

In an accidentally topical turn of events this week the boys are covering Argo, based somewhat on a 2007 article from Wired titled "The Great Escape: How the CIA Used a Fake Sci-Fi Flick to Rescue Americans from Tehran" but mostly just a dramatic retelling of events that occurred during the 1979 Iranian Hostage Crisis. It may not really be a book that's being adapted but we manage to get into the weeds anyhow, mostly on the subject of whether the movie would have still been exciting if it was at all accurate. (NOTE: contrary to any claims made in this episode we know VERY LITTLE about Middle Eastern politics.)
During the Iranian Hostage Crisis, 6 individuals were able to find safe harbor within the residence of the Canadian Ambassador. This week we are mixing up a fantastic whiskey based drink, and helping Tony Mendez make a fake movie to really get these 6 back home. Join us for a made up low budget sci-fi flick, high tensions, shredded documents, fake identities, cardamom syrup, and a chat about Argo.

Badger Institute President Mike Nichols sits down with Kevin Hermening in our premiere episode. Kevin has lived an extraordinary life; from surviving the 1979 Iranian Hostage Crisis to guiding the Mosinee School District through the height of the COVID-19 pandemic as the board president, Kevin explains why leadership matters, what guides him in his decision making, and why local leaders need to step up during times of crisis.
On this special episode of DIA Connections … a chance to catch-up with the best of season one. Thirty-five guests, including writer Malcolm Gladwell, legendary newscaster Ted Koppel, actor/comedian Rob Riggle, and former White House photographer Pete Souza discuss a wide range of topics, including DIA's role in finding Osama bin Laden, tracking illegal fentanyl, searching for U.S. soldiers reported as missing in action during the Vietnam War, catching a spy within DIA, and recalling the horror of the Iranian Hostage Crisis from one of the hostages held for 444 days. Listen to highlights from our “Best of Season One” show.
Four decades ago, Barry Rosen was one of 52 Americans held hostage for 444 brutal days in Iran. After their release in 1981, Rosen and the other hostages received a rare gift from Major League Baseball: a "golden ticket." Signed by then-Commissioner Bowie Kuhn under the words “In Gratitude And Appreciation,” the lifetime pass entitled each hostage and a guest admittance to any regular-season game. But when Rosen tried to attend a game this year, the New York Mets said they were no longer honoring his pass. What happened next showed just how much baseball continues to mean to Rosen.
On this week’s episode of the Burn Bag, we talk to Jonna Mendez, former CIA Chief of Disguise, about her work in the CIA. Mendez discusses her reasons for joining the agency, her time as an intelligence officer, and the history behind the Office of Technical Service (OTS). She analyzes the successes and failures of the products that the OTS produced and delves into the measures she and others had to take to thwart intelligence services in Russia, Cuba, and other areas where CIA assets were active. Jonna highlights the importance of human intelligence, revealing to us what the relationship was like between officer and agent, and speculates on how this form of intelligence may have changed given technological advances. We also chat to Jonna about the intricacies of the disguises she made, and why the "Tom Cruise peel" from Mission Impossible should be the "Jonna Mendez peel" -- as she details a famous meeting she had with President George H.W. Bush in which she demonstrated the efficacy of facial masks. We close the conversation with a discussion about the true story behind Academy Award winning movie Argo -- as Jonna talks about her late husband Tony Mendez (played by Ben Affleck in Argo) and his role in the Canadian Caper operation during the Iranian Hostage Crisis in 1980. Jonna will be releasing a new book, "In True Face", in the near future, and you can check out more of her work and her writing here.

Professor Ben Saul, Challis Chair of International Law at the University of Sydney and recognised as a leading expert on global counter-terrorism law, joins Michael to relive the Iran hostage crisis which ended forty years ago today. A diplomatic standoff between the United States & Iran saw fifty-two American diplomats and citizens held hostage after a group of militarized Iranian college students belonging to the Muslim Student Followers of the Imam's Line who supported the Iranian Revolution, took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and seized hostages. The hostages were held for 444 days from November 4, 1979, to January 20, 1981. Western media described the crisis as an "entanglement" of "vengeance and mutual incomprehension." American President Jimmy Carter called the hostage-taking an act of "blackmail" and the hostages "victims of terrorism and anarchy." In Iran it was widely seen as an act against the U.S. and its influence in Iran, including its perceived attempts to undermine the Iranian Revolution and its longstanding support of the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who was overthrown in 1979.

November 4 marks the anniversary of the start of the Iranian hostage crisis. You might have learned about it as a major breakdown in the Iran-US relationship that persists today, or maybe you just watched Argo. Jørgen Jensehaugen highlights a different angle though in his article "A Palestinian window of opportunity? The PLO, the US and the Iranian hostage crisis". This aspect of the crisis has rarely been discussed, but can tell us a lot about the political dynamics at the time, and how those ripple effects are still being felt.
Bram Connolly and Trent Burnard continue their Leadership Analysis Series. During this series Bram and Trent forensically analyse leadership styles throughout history and attribute them with a score for different facets of leadership. By doing this, they hope to find knowledge, skills and attributes that modern leaders may, or may not want to emulate.This week on the WarriorU Podcast, they analyse American President Jimmy Carter. Born on the 1st October 1924 in Plains, Georgia, Jimmy began life as a peanut farmer before his progressive politics lead him to becoming the Governor of Georgia from 1971-1975 and President of the USA from 1977-1981. His Presidential vision for America was to foster world peace and promote human rights abroad whilst achieving economic, political and social harmony and equality domestically in the midst of economic and social disruption. Leadership AnalysisInspiration and Motivation - Score: 3/10- Carter used his image as a humble, honest, everyman to connect to the vast majority of Americans - He refused to ‘play ball' with the more underhand tactics of Congress and was seen as a leader of principle and integrity - However he failed to inspire and motivate people to support his vision for America - Towards the end of his Presidency he was seen as increasingly out-of-touch and his gentle touch to politics was seen more as a weakness than source of strength Providing Purpose and Direction – 3/10- Sought to internationally foster peace and promote human rights whilst domestically repairing the economic and political divide - Was initially successful internationally with the Camp David Accords, Panama Treaties and SALT treaties, the Departments of Education and Energy and mending the political divide - However, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and Iranian Hostage Crisis in 1979 and Carter's lacklustre response saw him perceived as weak and turned people against his soft touch vision - Domestically, Carter failed to revive the economy, inflation and interest rates along with fuel shortages and rationing and failed to mend the growing social and political divide - These failures turned people towards the more conservative and strong-willed Reagan and saw Americans abandon their support for Carters vision for America Effectiveness of Leadership Style – 3/10- Carter utilised leading by example, delegation and collaborative styles of leadership throughout his Presidency - His collaborative style initially saw success internationally, however allowed the Soviets and Iranians to take advantage of this to advance their interests- Collaboration with Congress failed due to Carter refusing to ‘play ball', and as such Congress blocked Carters progressive initiatives - Used delegation to make presidential power more of a force for guidance rather than command, however this saw him unable to cohesively and effectively lead America - His leading by example style did initially create a connection between him and the people, yet it also saw people perceive Carter as shifting blame onto the public and being too weak to lead...

This day in History, on December 24, 1865 Several Confederate veterans form the Ku Klux Klan in Pulaski, Tennessee. In 1943 US President FDR appoints General Eisenhower Supreme Commander of the Allied forces. In 1954 Laos gains its independence and in 1980 Americans remembered Iran hostages by shining lights for 417 seconds.Bitterness is a great evil. Ephesians 4:31 "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice."Hebrews 12:14, 15 “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: 15 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled.”Hymn: In Christ there is no east or west“In Christ there is no east nor west, in Him no south or north; but one great fellowship of love throughout the whole wide earth. In Him shall true hearts everywhere, their high communion find; His service is the golden cord, close binding all mankind. Join hands, then, brothers of the faith,What-e’er your race may be.Who serves my Father as a sonIs surely kin to me.In Christ now meet both east and west,In Him meet south and north;All Christly souls are one in Himthroughout the whole wide earth.
From 2008 comes this interview with best-selling author Mark Bowden about his book "Guests of the Ayatollah: The First Battle in America's War with Militant Islam." It is an illuminating examination of the Iranian Hostage Crisis.
Filmmaker Matt Wolf discusses his new film RECORDER: THE MARION STOKES PROJECT with moderator Adrian Chen. Recorded at Landmark's NuArt Theatre on 11/29/19. For over 30 years, Marion Stokes obsessively and privately recorded American television news 24 hours a day. A longtime resident of Philadelphia (though she once considered emigrating to Cuba), she was a civil rights-era radical activist who became wealthy and reclusive later in life. Her obsession started with the Iranian Hostage Crisis in 1979—at the dawn of the 24-hour news cycle. It ended on December 14, 2012 as the Sandy Hook massacre played on television while Marion passed away. In between, Marion filled 70,000 VHS tapes, capturing revolutions, wars, triumphs, catastrophes, bloopers, talk shows and commercials that show us how television shaped the world of today and in the process tells us who we were. A mystery in the form of a time capsule, Recorder delves into the strange life of a woman for whom home taping was a form of activism to protect the truth (the public didn't know it, but the networks had been disposing their archives for decades into the trashcan of history), and though her visionary and maddening project nearly tore her family apart, her extraordinary legacy is priceless. Directed by Matt Wolf (Teenage).
In the fascinating new documentary from Matt Wolf (Teenage, Wild Combination) RECORDER: THE MARION STOKES PROJECT, follows the life of a former librarian, Marion Stokes. Her unusual “project” began when she started secretly recording American television twenty-four hours a day at the dawn of what we know today as the twenty-four hour news cycle. It started in 1979 with the Iranian Hostage Crisis, ending more than 32 years later, on December 14, 2012. Marion passed away as the Sandy Hook massacre played out on television. In between, she recorded on 70,000 VHS tapes, capturing revolutions, lies, wars, triumphs, catastrophes, bloopers, talk shows, and commercials that tell us who we were, and show how television shaped the world of today. Before the era of “fake news,” Marion was fighting to protect the truth by archiving everything that was said and shown on television. The public didn’t know it, but the networks were disposing their archives for decades into the trashcan of history. Remarkably, Marion saved it, and now the Internet Archive will digitize her tapes and we’ll be able to search them online for free. A mystery in the form of a time capsule, the film delves into the strange life of a radical Communist activist who became a fabulously wealthy recluse archivist. Marion’s work was crazy but it was also genius, and she would pay a profound price for dedicating her life to this visionary and maddening project. Director Matt Wolf joins us to talk about the librarian / activist / free thinker Marion Stokes, and how her unusual obsession has provided us with a window into an era of rapidly evolving news and infotainment platforms and the profound impact it continues to have on the present.

When the Navy called for a Persian Farsi linguist to deploy to the Persian Gulf and cover the Iranian revolution in late 1979, the only options Tom Chesno had to offer were three Airmen who had just finished their schooling. This is their story.
On the outset of the Iranian Revolution of 1978/1979, there were only a few Persian Farsi military linguists ready to jump into action. Michael Ruhm, Michael Sherman and Don Huntington, recent graduates of Persian Farsi, were working for Tom Chesno, when the embassy hostage crisis began.

James Earl Carter Jr. (@ 55yrs old in 1979), Politician and philanthropist. Born and raised in south-west Georgia, Jimmy grew up to be a U.S. Navy Lieutenant, Georgia State Senator, Governor of Georgia, and the 39th POTUS. 50. On July 15, 1979, President Jimmy Carter went on national television to share with millions of Americans his diagnosis of a nation in crisis. "It’s clear that the true problems of our nation are much deeper -- deeper than gasoline lines or energy shortages, deeper even than inflation or recession. And I realize more than ever that as President I need your help...I know, of course, being President, that government actions and legislation can be very important. That’s why I’ve worked hard to put my campaign promises into law, and I have to admit, with just mixed success. But after listening to the American people, I have been reminded again that all the legislation in the world can’t fix what’s wrong with America. So, I want to speak to you first tonight about a subject even more serious than energy or inflation. I want to talk to you right now about a fundamental threat to American democracy. I do not mean our political and civil liberties. They will endure. And I do not refer to the outward strength of America, a nation that is at peace tonight everywhere in the world, with unmatched economic power and military might. The threat is nearly invisible in ordinary ways. It is a crisis of confidence." 51. General Legacy 52. Carter's presidency was initially seen as a failure. Although HE ESTABLISHED THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY and the DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, initiated a lot of pro-environment policies, PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN NEGOTIATING A PEACE TREATY BETWEEN EGYPT AND ISRAEL, IMPROVED RELATIONS WITH PANAMA BY GIVING THEM CONTROL OF THE PANAMA CANAL, his administration was plagued by dissatisfaction from congressional Democrats, high unemployment and inflation, an energy crisis, and most notably the Iranian Hostage Crisis. Carter has said his biggest lesson from his time in office was, "not to ever let American hostages be held for 444 days in a foreign country without extracting them." He added, "I did the best I could, but I failed." 53. However, Carter’s peacekeeping and humanitarian efforts since he left office have earned him a Nobel Peace Prize, along with a Grammy award, making him one of the most successful ex-presidents in American history. - The Independent wrote, "Carter is widely considered a better man than he was a president." 54.

Carter also said that he disagrees with President Obama's decision to keep the Guantánamo Bay detention camp open. 62. In July 2013, Carter expressed his criticism of current federal surveillance programs as disclosed by Edward Snowden. 63. Carter believes the Obama administration “waited too long” to act on ISIS. 64. When asked about Obama's "success or failures on the world stage," Carter replied: "On the world stage, I think they've been minimal...let me add again, let me repeat, I don't blame him for it, because there's been circumstances that have been involved." 65.

"...Raised in the limelight by an infamously strict father, Michael (as a teenager) was painfully self-conscious, worried that he might never be able to shake his child stardom. He didn’t want to merely cling to his family’s fading notoriety. He wanted to break away from it completely. Off the Wall is the sound of that liberation. And he knew exactly what he was doing. On November 6, 1979, just as the album was starting to take off, Michael wrote a note to himself on the back of a tour itinerary, a proclamation of self so ambitious it could make Kanye blush. "MJ will be my new name, no more Michael Jackson. I want a whole new character, a whole new look, I should be a totally different person. People should never think of me as the kid who sang ‘ABC’ [and] ‘I Want You Back,’" he jotted down. "I should be a new incredible actor singer dancer that will shock the world. I will do no interviews. I will be magic. I will be a perfectionist, a researcher, a trainer, a masterer… I will study and look back on the whole world of entertainment and perfect it.

An Iranian-American Muslim, born in 1979, the year of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Melody Moezzi's life reads like a novel. She describes the displacement of her family–how the 1980 Iranian Hostage Crisis forced her family to leave the United States but the Iran-Iraq War also meant they could not stay in Iran. In this interview, Melody Moezzi, a 32-year old award-winning author and attorney with Bipolar I, describes her worst experience with anti-bipolar stigma. She also talks about Islamophobia and myths people believe about Muslims. Her ability to laugh in the face of pain is intriguing; her success despite stigma is uplifting. Interested in learning more about Moezzi? Then, check out her website, www.melodymoezzi.com, or look at her book, War on Error: Real Stories of American Muslims, published in 2007. Your Thoughts?: Have you ever experienced mental health stigma like Melody did during her hospitalization? Do you know someone who might be encouraged by hearing Melody's story?

If you ask most Americans when the U.S. became heavily involved in the Persian Gulf, they might cite the Iranian Hostage Crisis of 1981 or, more probably, the First Gulf War of 1990. Of course the roots of American entanglement in the region run much deeper, as W. Taylor Fain shows in his excellent new book American Ascendance and British Retreat in the Persian Gulf Region (Palgrave-Macmillan, 2008). Beginning in the 18th century, the British began to do in the Gulf what the British did in those days: build their empire. British dominance in the region lasted as long as Britain did as a Great Power, that is, until about 1945. At that point, a power vacuum of sorts developed. What is perhaps most interesting about Fain’s book is that the U.S.–which had had strong commercial ties to several Gulf states for decades–was not terribly eager to get politically involved. Britain had significant military assets in the region; the U.S. did not. Britain needed the oil; the U.S. at that time did not. Britain wanted to blunt the forces of Arab nationalism; the U.S. had a rather more favorable attitude toward “self-determination.” The Brits did their best to play up the “special relationship,” but it just wasn’t “special” enough to get the U.S. involved in what seemed to be a plainly imperial endeavor. Americans just aren’t very good at imperialism–they have no stomach for it. In the end, it wasn’t the British who convinced the U.S. to take a strong hand in Gulf affairs, but the Soviets, or rather the fear of the Soviets. The strange cocktail of pan-Arab nationalism and international socialism convinced American policymakers that vital U.S. interests were being threatened in some very out-of-the-way places. Thus the U.S. developed new “special relationships” in the region, notably with Saudi Arabia, Israel and Iran–an odd group if ever there were one! So “special” were these ties that they eventually drew the U.S. into war and, recently, occupation. The British empire, so it is said, was built in a “fit of absent mindedness.” The American empire in the Gulf was built against better judgment.

In November 1979, radical Iranian students overran the U.S. embassy in Tehran, capturing most of the embassy staff—except for six diplomats who found refuge with the Canadian embassy. Today, Peter talks with retired CIA officer Tony Mendez who, in an elaborate deception and disguise operation, managed to exfiltrate the six Americans from Tehran before the Iranians were able to track them down.
The Iranian Revolution of 1979 was fought between Shah Pahlevi (supported by America and hated for his pro-American beliefs) and Ayatollah Khomeini (and anti-American Islamist). Khomeini succeeded in taking power from the Shah and created the Islamic Republic of Iran. During the turbulent years that followed, 300 militants seized 63 hostages from the American embassy in Iran and held them for 444 days. Months of negotiations ensued and eventually, 11 of the hostages were released prematurely. The others were almost rescued by President Carter in Operation Eagle Claw, but due to a sandstorm, the operation was a disastrous failure. It was such a great failure that the US reformed its military and created a new unified combatant command, SOCOM, and a new special forces regiment, the 160th SOAR. The Iranians remained steadfast in their imprisonment of the hostages until September 1980, when Iraq invaded Iran and launched the Iran-Iraq War. As a result, Iran wanted a quick resolution to the hostage issue and thus, the Algiers Accords were signed by the United States and Iran. The hostages were returned on Reagan's inauguration day. However, tensions between these two countries still exist today (see Iranian capture of 15 British sailors).

In this lecture, Dr. Totten argues the presidencies of Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter did little to inspire American's faith in government. While Ford was a likeable and humble man, his administration achieved few goals and did little to abate the economic crises. His actions made enemies on the right and the left, and further exacerbated divisions within the GOP. Ronald Reagan led a conservative primary challenge in 1976 to Ford and narrowly lost. While Ford won the nomination, Ronald Reagan had positioned himself as the future of the Republican party. Ford ultimately lost to the former Naval Lieutenant and Governor of Georgia Jimmy Carter. Carter's administration was equally ineffective. Carter had campaigned as a Washington outsider and fiscal conservative. Carter's independent streak made it difficult for him to work with Washington power brokers, and he rejected the agenda of the progressive wing of his party, led by Senator Ted Kennedy. The ongoing economic and energy crisis brought out the moralist in Carter, who acknowledged the suffering but pointed to a deeper "crisis of confidence" in American culture. In the end, his speech fell flat, and his Democratic majority accomplished little, except for further deregulation.Carter's foreign policy was also viewed as insufficient by many Americans. Though he furthered détente with China and Russia, his handling of the Iranian Hostage Crisis and the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan further hurt Carter's reputation. As a result, Americans to this day equate Carter and Democrats as weak on foreign policy and war.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/history-of-the-american-people-since-1877/donations
