On this episode, we travel beyond the northeast to examine South Carolina in the Revolutionary War. We examine the Siege of Charleston and compare the town's experience to that of Boston. Note that, although American forces besieged British troops in Boston, at Charleston, those roles were reversed and American forced held the city against an ultimately victorious British army. We also discuss the significance of Henry Laurens, a founding father from South Carolina who was highly regarded by John Adams. We are joined by Elizabeth Chew, CEO of the South Carolina Historical Society, and Greg Brooking, author and historian of the American Revolution in the South.

This week, John Adams and Toby Poser stop by to talk about thire new movie Mother of Flies

And with the first pick of the "SEC Football Unfiltered" quarterbacks draft ... Yes, it's that time of the offseason. We're going head-to-head drafting SEC quarterbacks in an effort to build the best four-deep collection of QBs. You know the top names. Trinidad Chambliss. Arch Manning. Gunner Stockton. And more. But, who's first off the board? On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams each draft four SEC quarterbacks as they try to outduel the other. Once a player comes off the board, the other host cannot select him. With the first pick, Adams eyes a proven starter with playoff experience. All of Toppmeyer's picks are returning starters in the SEC, while Adams reaches for a couple of transfers, and he twists the knife with his final pick.

John Hancock: first to sign, first to invest in America’s independence DB132603 Author: Randall, Willard Sterne Reading Time: 7 hours, 15 minutes Read by: Steve Hendrickson Subjects: Biography of Heads of State and Political Figures, U.S. History, Government and Politics “A contemporary of Samuel Adams, John Adams, George Washington, and the Marquis de Lafayette, Hancock's contacts read like a who's who of the American Revolution. But shockingly little has been written about the man himself — and current biographies tend to over-rely on critical portrayals by his political opponents. John Hancock the story of a man who deserves far more acknowledgment for his involvement in the American Revolution than previously credited — and award-winning scholar Willard Sterne Randall is determined to give him his due at last. Born to relatively modest means, Hancock was sent to live with his wealthy uncle and aunt as a child, who raised him as their own and prepared him to take over the family company. An incredibly successful businessman, Hancock began to get involved in politics in the mid-1760s. He quickly rose in the ranks, eventually serving as the president of the Continental Congress and the first governor of Massachusetts. John Hancock details all of the major moments in the Revolution, from the Boston Tea Party to the battles of Lexington and Concord to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Hancock's actions fundamentally altered each of these events — and ultimately the course of the United States — in ways never taught in the history books. Randall also dives into less-known parts of Hancock's life with nuance and compassion, including his education and controversial work with Harvard; his long courtship and complicated marriage to Dorothy Quincy; and his close relationship and eventual bitter rivalry with Samuel Adams. John Hancock was immensely popular in Massachusetts at the time of the Revolution, but his lack of personal writings have allowed him to be pushed aside in favor of easier biographies to tell. Through extensive research, Randall aims to restore Hancock to his rightful place, celebrated for his achievements as one of our Founding Fathers at last.” — Goodreads. Unrated. Commercial audiobook.

This week's episode, which finds Steve over in Japan but still with a hoarse voice, ranges widely from exonerating John Yoo from being implicated in a major whiskey heist, to what the prodigious drinking habits of the Founding Fathers has to say about constitutional law today. Justice Neil Gorsuch reminds us that “John Adams took a tankard of hard cider with his breakfast every day. James Madison reportedly drank a pint of whiskey every day. Thomas Jefferson said he wasn't much of a user of alcohol—he only had three or four glasses of wine a night.” Ah, the great ones.Speaking of the Founders, we make a nod to the tragic passing of Gordon Wood, and naturally manage to get into an argument about history and historians.But the central topic of today is considering John's foray into grand strategy in his Civitas Outlook article this week on "America Doesn't Need to Fear a 'Thucydides Trap'," , and while Admiral Ackbar needed to fear a trap, John doesn't think so. But what was Chinese premier Xi trying to do in bringing up the subject in a public session at the recent summit with Trump? One doesn't imagine Trump being a reader of Thucydides, though one can easily see him liking the outcome of the Melian debate. In fact, maybe that's what he's up to with Iran? Who can tell. 

Discover the untold story of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Jim Rasenberger reveals their bitter rivalry and the miracle of their shared July 4th deaths.Episode Links:"A Perfect Coincidence" by Jim RasenbergerJim Rasenberger WebsiteThe odds of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams dying on the exact same day—exactly fifty years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence—were estimated at one in 1.2 billion. In this episode of Books and Looks, Blaine DeSantis sits down with author Jim Rasenberger to explore his acclaimed new book, “A Perfect Coincidence”, unraveling the complex, intertwined lives of America's most famous founding frenemies. Listeners will discover the hidden historical twists, bitter rivalries, and surprising reconciliations that shaped the birth of a nation just in time for its 250th anniversary.This historical deep dive exposes the realities of the Revolutionary War and the deeply contrasting personalities of our founding fathers, from John Adams' blunt vanity to Thomas Jefferson's lavish, debt-fueled lifestyle at Monticello. Jim reveals why the legendary July 4th signing of the Declaration of Independence is actually a myth, how Benjamin Franklin drove Adams to his breaking point in Paris, and the complicated truths behind the Hemings family tree. You will also uncover the mysterious, prophetic dream that finally pushed these two bitter political rivals to mend their relationship after a decade of silence, but you will have to tune in to find out if sheer willpower alone kept them alive to fulfill American history's most miraculous coincidence. If you love uncovering the untold stories of our past, be sure to subscribe to “Books and Looks” and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform!

Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, Eric gives a major update from the Revolution book tour after his book debuts at #2 on the New York Times bestseller list and #1 on Amazon. Eric discusses the BookScan numbers, Jill Biden's book, and why getting the true story of America's founding into the mainstream matters. Then Eric talks with Tim Barton of Wall Builders about America's Christian founding, the real meaning of separation of church and state, Jefferson, Madison, John Adams, George Washington, George Whitefield, the Sons of Liberty, the Continental Congress, and why the story of the American Revolution cannot be told honestly without God.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World

If you ask Americans to name the signers of the Declaration of Independence, they will probably mention John Hancock, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams. But what about the other 52 delegates from the 13 colonies who signed the document?  Men like Thomas McKean, Lyman Hall, George Walton, Francis Lewis, Benjamin Rush, and Roger Sherman? Historian Carol Berkin, one of the nation's leading scholars of the founding era and the author of the National Constitution Center's definitive short biographies of all 56 signers, joins the Center to explore the stories of these lesser-known signers. Berkin reveals these figures not as distant icons, but as real people whose lives were marked by ambition, sacrifice, hardship, resilience, and public service. As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, Berkin explains why understanding the full cast of characters behind American independence can deepen our appreciation of the nation's founding and the ongoing work of constitutional self-government. Julie Silverbrook, chief content and learning officer at the National Constitution Center, moderates.    Resources  Josiah Bartlett (New Hampshire), National Constitution Center  Elbridge Gerry (Massachusetts), National Constitution Center  Button Gwinnett (Georgia), National Constitution Center  Lyman Hall (Georgia), National Constitution Center  Francis Lewis (New York), National Constitution Center  Thomas McKean (Delaware), National Constitution Center  Robert Morris, Jr. (Pennsylvania), National Constitution Center  Benjamin Rush (Pennsylvania), National Constitution Center  Roger Sherman (Connecticut), National Constitution Center  Richard Stockton (New Jersey), National Constitution Center  George Walton (Georgia), National Constitution Center  Biographies of all the Declaration's Signers, National Constitution Center Stay Connected and Learn More Questions or comments about the show?

Your America 250 celebration does not have to be complicated to be meaningful.This episode shares 3 real Americans from 250 years ago whose stories will spark great conversations with your kids, plus simple ideas to make your America 250 celebration come alive this summer with no big unit study or hours of preparation:✅Why history sticks when it is told through stories instead of textbooks✅The 1 question to ask after reading any biography that sparks real thinking✅3 ordinary people from 250 years ago that changed history with everyday courage✅Simple hands-on activity ideas that connect colonial history to real life today✅Why your kitchen table is the most powerful classroom in America right nowGrab the America 250 Leadership and Freedom Bundle mentioned in this episode and start your celebration this week.Resources for You America 250 Leadership and Freedom Bundle includes use code 250 for 20% offAmerica 250 Leadership and Freedom Unit StudyJohnny Tremain Literature StudyFlag Day Unit - June 144th of July Unit StudyElection Day Unit Study use code 250 for 25% offWhat If Your Family Actually Understood the People Who Made America Possible?What if your family read a book together this summer, ate a colonial meal, and had a few great conversations? Would your children remember more about America's founding than an entire textbook?America turns 250 years old in just a few weeks, and the celebration has already begun. Most of you will go watch fireworks. But what if your children actually understood the people, the stories, the sacrifices, and the leadership that made America possible? It doesn't require a giant unit study or hours of preparation. Today I want to show you some simple ways to celebrate America 250 while inspiring a love of learning and having fun with your kids.History Is More Than Dates and Dead PeopleMost moms feel the pressure to cover the history and check off all the checkboxes. But history is so much bigger than that. When our kids were teenagers, they read a book in ninth grade called More Than Dates and Dead People — and that title says it all. We need to look at the stories of ordinary people who influenced others. That's leadership. Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less.America 250, right now in the summertime when you may not even be doing regular school, is the perfect opportunity to help our kids see themselves as part of a much bigger picture.Paul Revere — One Ordinary Person Who Changed HistoryLet's start with Paul Revere and his Midnight Ride. Longfellow wrote a whole poem about it — The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere — and I still remember reciting it in junior high.Listen, my children, and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere. On the 18th of April in 75, hardly a man is now alive who remembers that famous day and year.Most families know who Paul Revere is. But do they realize he was just a silversmith? When we were in Boston, we actually got to visit his house. He was just an ordinary craftsman who risked arrest to warn fellow patriots that the British troops were moving in on Lexington and Concord. One regular person used his influence to help change history.So how could you apply this to your family? Read a one-page biography of someone from 250 years ago in America. Read it aloud at lunch and ask one question — how did this person influence others? Then close your mouth and see what they say. That's leadership education in action. How easy is that?Great Books Bring History to LifeOne of the easiest ways to learn history — and the way we did it best — was through literature. Kids remember stories so much more than worksheets.One of our favorites is Johnny Tremaine. Johnny begins the story as a proud silversmith's apprentice, goes through a lot of hardship, makes mistakes, grows in friendships and responsibilities, and eventually grows into a leader during the American Revolution. Kids naturally connect with his struggles, and you can discuss courage, teachability, responsibility, and wise decision-making as you go through the book.Instead of worksheets, add some hands-on activities. Build a Boston Tea Party crane. Become a midnight messenger like Paul Revere. Do a colonial apprenticeship project. Make colonial meals together. My kids always perked up when food was involved. Learning becomes so much more memorable when you're doing history — not just memorizing and regurgitating facts.What could you do this week or next week? Read one chapter from a historical book. Have your kids narrate what they hear each day and ask one question — what leadership trait did this person show? Or not show? Not everyone's a good leader. Get a book from the library and start reading. That's enough.Abigail Adams — Leadership Doesn't Always Look Like Standing in Front of a CrowdA lot of people think it was only men participating 250 years ago. That is just not true. There were plenty of strong women fighting for the cause and supporting their families. Abigail Adams is one of them.She was home while John Adams was away serving his country — managing the farm, the finances, the household, and the children during very uncertain times. Many homeschool moms I know can relate to carrying the weight of everything that's going on.Her letters reveal courage, wisdom, and perseverance. On March 31st, 1776 — 250 years ago — John was helping to shape a new government. Here's what Abigail wrote:Remember the ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors.That sounds simple at first, but it reveals so much wisdom. Abigail understood that a new nation wasn't just about defeating Great Britain. It was about creating a better society. She encouraged leaders to think not only about the immediate crisis but also about the rights and needs of others.Leadership isn't always standing in front of a crowd. Sometimes it's a thoughtful letter. A meaningful conversation. Influencing the people around you. Something homeschool moms do every day. You are influencing the next generation. You may feel like you're not doing much, but you have more impact on your children than anyone else. Leadership is happening around the kitchen table.Patrick Henry and the Courage to Say What Others Won'tOn March 23rd, 1775, Patrick Henry challenged Virginians to prepare for difficult days. And one of the lines that most of us can remember — I hope your children will remember it too — is this: Give me liberty, or give me death.His speech helped persuade many colonists to take action when others were still uncertain what to do. He had influence.What could you do with his story? Read his speech and then ask — would you choose liberty? Or would you choose to just do whatever everyone else tells you, whatever the government says? There's a lot of conversation right there for your family. Have you ever needed courage to do something difficult? What does courage look like for a child? What does it look like for a homeschool mom?You Don't Need More Resources — You Need the Right OneThe problem with history isn't a lack of resources. There are resources abounding — printable packs, websites, YouTube videos. The problem is too many resources. You could spend 5 to 10 hours just trying to figure out what to do over the next few weeks. What you need is something that's organized and ready to use.America 250 is more than a birthday celebration. It's an opportunity to help your kids understand freedom, responsibility, leadership, and character. You don't have to recreate this in a classroom. Find some great books to read, tell great stories, have meaningful conversations around the dinner table, and let your kids see that history comes alive.250 years ago, ordinary people made choices that changed history. Paul Revere. Abigail Adams. Patrick Henry. Today, the conversations you have around the dinner table will influence the next generation just as quickly.That's why we made our America 250 Leadership and Freedom Bundle. It includes our Leadership and Freedom Unit Study, a bonus Johnny Tremaine literature study with silversmith STEM activities, history, writing, and math, a Flag Day unit study, a 4th of July unit study, and an Election Day unit study for November. It's literature-based, hands-on, all ages can learn at the same time, and it's leadership-focused. Every activity has a leadership tie-in.It's not a bunch of worksheets. It's not a textbook with multiple choice questions. It's easy for moms to use, it's all in one place, and you can start this week with Flag Day.Use code 250 to save 20%.

Tennessee gave Brendan Sorsby a sniff. LSU heavily courted the Cincinnati transfer. Sorsby chose Texas Tech, as one of the most premier transfers of the winter shopping season. Then, the floor fell out. The NCAA learned Sorsby placed thousands of bets on sports and declared him ineligible. Now, a Texas judge has granted Sorsby an injunction that’ll block the NCAA from enforcing its gambling rules and allow Sorsby to play this season. Will SEC teams regret missing out on Sorsby, or did they dodge a troublesome situation? On today’s episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams weigh in on the Sorsby saga and the reverberations of the judge’s ruling. They also debate whether LSU or Tennessee would be better served with Sorsby than their current quarterback situations. Later in the episode, the hosts react to Athlon’s top-25 rankings. Eight SEC teams are ranked, and Toppmeyer and Adams earmark a few as being overrated, while they highlight one unranked SEC team as being worth a top-25 look.

Drop us a note about the podcast. People say they want “proof,” but Jesus points to something most of us try to dodge: works. We open with John 10 and the sharp divide Christ names between those who recognize the Shepherd's voice and those who refuse Him, then we ask the uncomfortable follow-up: if actions reveal what's real, what do our actions say about our faith?From there, we move into Genesis 2 and the standard for Christian marriage: leaving, cleaving, becoming one flesh, and living without shame. I wrestle with what I see in modern church life, why divorce still tells a story we should not ignore, and how daily obedience, repentance, and self-control build the kind of unity Scripture describes. We also read Psalm 116 and Proverbs 15, because fear, grief, and wisdom are not side topics, they are where discipleship gets tested.We broaden the lens to American history and public life, including a Medal of Honor citation and a reading from John Adams that lands like a warning flare: liberty cannot stand on slogans alone. Adams argues that religion and morality are the only stable foundation for a free constitution, and I connect that to the deeper point running through everything today, we either return to God or we simply trade one form of tyranny for another.Subscribe to the American Soul Podcast, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.

With the passion, erudition, and irrepressible wit that have become his signature, Eric Metaxas's REVOLUTION: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World brings the epic of America's birth to life so fully that you will feel you are a part of the story, which is precisely the point. By turns deeply moving, gripping, and spectacularly entertaining, these are the stories every American must know, including some of history's noblest heroes-and some despicable villains.REVOLUTION also touches on the role that sacrifice, character, and faith played in the great struggle for "the Sacred Cause" of liberty. George Washington, John Adams, Nathan Hale, Henry Knox, Horatio Gates, Israel Putnam, Benedict Arnold and many others all come to life for a new generation of Americans.At more than 500 pages-with photos, maps, and illustrations-REVOLUTION is definitive and sweeping, an astonishing epic containing a dazzling array of stories, ranging from the explosive events that led up to Lexington and Concord, all the way through the impossible twists and turns of the war itself-including the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Crossing of the Delaware, Saratoga, and the bitter winter at Valley Forge-all the way to the final victory in Yorktown and "The World Turned Upside Down."Unless we ourselves know the true story of the Revolution-what some have called America's "founding myth"-we cannot play the role we are meant to play in the Revolution that still continues today.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Episode 4140 │ June 7, 2026 The Second Continental Congress was an information war, a spy network, and a theological covenant. The parallels to today are exact. Scott Kesterson and Rochelle Porto continue the Our Sacred Honor series on the founding era, moving into the Second Continental Congress convened May 10, 1775 in Philadelphia. The discussion dismantles the simplified textbook version of the Revolution and replaces it with the operational reality: an information war run through spy networks, intercepted What was the Second Continental Congress actually doing beneath its public posture of reconciliation — and who was running the covert war effort? Why did Congress declare a day of fasting, humiliation, and prayer before forming the Continental Army or voting on independence? How did the British post office surveillance network intercept John Adams' private letters and use them to damage the patriot cause? Who was Dr. Benjamin Church, and why was he more dangerous to the American cause than Benedict Arnold? When did the term Judeo-Christian actually originate — and what does its history reveal about the rewriting of America's founding theology?

It's the 22nd anniversary of Marvin Heemeyer's killdozer rampage through Granby, Colorado, and Frank welcomes back Jay to walk the timeline. Two acres at auction, a concrete plant blocking his access, a check stamped "cowards," and a year of secret welding inside a Komatsu D355A. The episode threads George Bernard Shaw, John Adams on studying war, and JFK on peaceful revolution into a single question: how unreasonable do good men have to be willing to get? From there, the grievances stack. New York is replacing mother and father with "gestating parent" on official documents. A Canadian doctor allegedly assessed a 45 year old man with Crohn's for medically assisted death in a Tim Hortons parking lot, then forgot a drug from the cocktail and the patient briefly came back to life. Oregon wants to ban hunting and fishing in a state with no late term abortion limit. AJ from Twitch calls in to ask where the line actually is.

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Eric Metaxas about his new book "Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World" and why the American Revolution created an unprecedented system of liberty, self-government, and constitutional rights rooted in faith and personal responsibility; the forgotten heroism of America's Founding Fathers including George Washington, John Adams, Samuel Adams, Nathan Hale, and Henry Knox; why patriotism, Christianity, and understanding American history are essential ahead of America's 250th anniversary; how the left, Marxism, and anti-American narratives have reshaped education and culture; and why preserving freedom, the Constitution, and the American experiment requires civic engagement, sacrifice, and moral courage, and much more.  

Did Tennessee baseball go into a minor slump in 2026? Or is this the reality in the post-Tony Vitello era? Adam Sparks and John Adams break down Josh Elander’s first season and where the program goes from here.

When we picture the American Revolution, we picture battles. But for the men and women who actually lived and fought in it, the Revolution was also a job with mess rotations, night watches, short rations, and children underfoot. Historians Eugene Procknow, Gabriel Neville, and Thomas Sobol pull back the curtain on everyday military life during the War for Independence. They discuss how the armies were structured, what soldiers actually ate, what camp followers endured, and how soldiers found humanity amid grinding hardship. You'll hear about a Black Continental soldier who had eaten nothing but bread for eleven days, and was still writing letters home that went unanswered. A Georgia soldier who agreed to fight for the British just to escape a prison ship, then deserted and marched across two states to rejoin Nathanael Greene's army. And you'll discover why John Adams believed the most dangerous moment of the Revolution wasn't a battle at all.Show Notes: https://www.benfranklinsworld.com/403 EPISODE OUTLINE00:00:00  Introduction00:05:44 Structure of the British and Continental Armies00:10:33 Militia, German Soldiers, and Indian Allies00:20:43 Everyday Life in the American War for Independence00:25:80 Camp Followers00:33:10 Downtime in the Army00:36:59 Soldiers' Letters00:46:00 Food Procurement & Supply Chains00:50:27 Supplementing Rations00:55:34 War Mementoes & Plunder00:58:36 Medical Care in the Army01:08:07 The Revolution in ContextRECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODES

Larry Alex Taunton interviews Eric Metaxas about his new book, “Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World,” and why he argues the American Revolution was uniquely grounded in biblical ideas of self-government, tracing its precedent to the Sinai Covenant and its development through the Reformation and colonial covenant theology. Eric contrasts America's God-centered view of liberty with the French Revolution's secular attempt at self-rule, discusses the neglected role of sermons and the First Great Awakening in shaping revolutionary conviction, and cites founders' repeated references to providence, including Washington and Franklin. They explore the Declaration of Independence as a fundamentally biblical claim about equality, debate misconceptions about Enlightenment origins, highlight John Adams' influence, and connect revolutionary faith to present-day calls to rededicate the nation to God.

In Part 2 of John Adams, we focus on his very influential wife, Abigail, who was very involved in her husband's work.  

Used to be, the SEC bragged about its national championships. Rightfully so. During one 17-year span, the SEC won 13 titles. Now, the Big Ten has won three straight national titles, and no SEC team has beaten a Big Ten opponent in a playoff game since 2022. SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey denies a problem exists or that the Big Ten has pulled ahead. He says the SEC remains the best conference "by far," and he attributes the Big Ten's success to the ball bouncing "a couple of times the wrong way." Sankey also said if the SEC was winning, nobody would ask him about losing. Well, no kidding. Has Sankey lost the plot? On today's episode, Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams discuss Sankey's insistence that the SEC remains the nation's best conference "by far," even as the Big Ten racks up national titles and asserts dominance of the 12-team playoff. The hosts disagree with Sankey's assessment of the situation, but they also say the SEC's commissioner isn't singularly responsible for fixing the problem. The SEC's coaches need to step up and deliver, too. Speaking of coaches, what's up with Texas' Steve Sarkisian this offseason? He's slinging mud at Mississippi and riling up Texas Tech. Is this evidence of Sark feeling the pressure at Texas?

Ahead of the 250th anniversary of America's founding, New York Times bestselling author and talk show host Eric Metaxas is publishing his latest book, a 600-page volume titled “Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World.”In the book, he argues that the American Revolution is the “only genuine revolution in the history of so-called revolutions.”So what separated the American Revolution from other revolutions? What made it succeed? And what critical aspects of the American Revolution are no longer being taught in schools today?Metaxas argues that America is currently facing its third existential crisis, after the American Revolution and the Civil War, and understanding the core principles behind America's founding story is critical to preserving the liberties of this nation.In the interview, we confront some key questions: How is the erosion of spiritual faith transforming American society? How does self-government work without the “moral and religious people” that John Adams described as a prerequisite for self-government? What is the proper role of a good citizen?Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, Eric talks with Joe Loconte about his new documentary on Benjamin Rush, one of the most overlooked figures of the American Revolution. They discuss Rush's Christian faith, his work as a physician, his role in the Continental Army, his fight against slavery, his humane treatment of the mentally ill, the Protestant roots of religious liberty, John Locke, George Washington, John Adams, and why the secular version of America's founding leaves out some of the most important parts of the story.

Scott Bessent, Pete Hegseth, James Talarico, Mike Pence, and the Delaney Hall ICE protests headline today's A.M. Update. Trump's cabinet meeting covers Iran negotiations, Scott Bessent calling ongoing price increases transitory and projecting 4.3% GDP growth this quarter, Marco Rubio's update on the Venezuela three-step plan, and Pete Hegseth revealing that at Trump's personal directive the U.S. hunted and killed Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, ISIS's number two in Nigeria and the most active terrorist in the world, along with hundreds of other ISIS fighters who were slaughtering Nigerian Christians. James Talarico goes on CBS and calls his own "God is non-binary" comment cringy while still trying to defend it, and Aaron takes apart his attempted Pauline justification piece by piece. Federal agents deploy pepper spray and batons against anti-ICE protesters blockading the Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark, including a viral moment where the crowd cheers two brown-skinned men walking out before realizing they are ICE agents. Mike Pence crawls out of his spider hole to complain about mean politics, and Aaron reads John Adams calling Alexander Hamilton a bastard to make his point. Aaron closes with new research showing 75% of consumers including 79% of parents support adults-only dining options, set against the backdrop of the ongoing Christian slaughter in Nigeria, and a challenge to put it all in proper perspective.

All is quiet on the Alabama front. It’s been a sleepy offseason in Tuscaloosa, ahead of what’s a bellwether season for Kalen DeBoer’s tenure. Alabama’s got one of the SEC’s few quarterback competitions between Keelon Russell and Austin Mack, but perhaps the biggest story came in April, when Alabama announced a two-year contract extension for DeBoer. His deal now runs through the 2032 season. Good deal, bad deal, or otherwise? On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams dive into DeBoer's extension, what it means, and why anyone talking hot seat with DeBoer is not living in reality. We also hear directly from DeBoer, after Toppmeyer sat down with the Alabama coach for an interview earlier this offseason to discuss his interest (or lack thereof) in the Michigan job and his unflinching commitment to the Tide. Alabama is doubling down on DeBoer, and he's doubling down on Alabama. But, about that Rose Bowl loss ... Later in the episode, a closer look at how the Big Ten is stealing a page from the SEC's playbook as it pushes for a 24-team playoff.

A single line from Judges still lands like a punch: when there's no king, people start doing whatever seems right to them. We open there, with a sober look at what moral chaos produces, then we turn our attention to something steadier: prayer, Scripture, and the daily choice to seek God instead of trusting our own understanding. From Song of Solomon to the Gospel of John, we read passages that pull faith out of the abstract and into the heart. John 4 takes center stage as we walk through Jesus meeting the Samaritan woman at the well, offering “living water,” naming hard truths without cruelty, and redefining worship as “in spirit and in truth.” Her response becomes the challenge for us: will we run and tell the truth about what Christ has done, or keep holding him at arm's length? We also connect the spiritual to the civic, reflecting on Proverbs 14:25 and why a truthful witness saves lives while lies rot a culture from the inside. Along the way we remember bravery with a Medal of Honor story, then end with perspective on American independence through Irma Bombeck's humor and John Adams' realism about the toil and sacrifice required to keep freedom alive.

What happens when two of America's biggest revolutionary minds become one of its most famous political rivalries? In this episode of Boom Goes the History, Kris White, Chris Mackowski, and Dan Davis dive into the fascinating feud between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams—friends, rivals, frenemies, and eventually something more. From politics and personality clashes to the legacy of their remarkable relationship, this is a lively look at one of the premier showdowns of the Revolutionary era. History, debate, and plenty of fun—boom!

In 1971, Congress declared Memorial Day a national holiday to be celebrated on the last Monday in May, echoing the words and sentiments of the proclamation of General John A. Logan of the grand Army of the Republic in 1868 who stated: “MEMORIAL DAY IS DESIGNATED FOR THE PURPOSE OF STREWING WITH FLOWERS OR OTHERWISE DECORATING THE GRAVES OF COMRADES WHO DIED IN DEFENSE OF THEIR COUNTRY DURING THE LATE REBELLION (THE CIVIL WAR) AND WHOSE BODIES NOW LIE IN ALMOST EVERY CITY, VILLAGE AND HAMLET, CHURCH YARD IN THE LAND.” So it is that the primary purpose of Memorial Day is to strew with flowers, literally and figuratively, the graves and memories of America's daring defenders. They, the fallen, died for freedom, liberty, for America, for us, for YOU AND ME. We were asked to remember those who died in the great American Civil War, but the day to remember now incorporates all who have given lives in defense of our country. Far too many wars, my fellow Americans, and far too many fallen defenders by the millions who believed in America, and in its fundamental principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all mankind. How grateful we should be. We are descendants or contemporaries of patriots, men and women who cherish freedom and were willing to fight and die to defend it if necessary. These warriors lived by the words of Patrick Henry who said: GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH. Our nation was formed in the fight for freedom, for there was no life worthwhile without it. There came our great Constitution and our incredible BILL OF RIGHTS, the rights and freedom amendments which are the finest in the history of mankind. No matter the origin, it seems as though, in so many ways, the passion for freedom may have been lost today as they once had it. We seem to take for granted what they died for. The courage they had seems lost today in so many ways, and the change in our country produces in so many ways an America in decline, at least politically, philosophically, and certainly passionately. Our ancestors fought for the Constitution, for the Bill of Rights and the freedoms those now 27 Amendments allow us. They were ready to die for them, but we, the current people, allow them to be watered down, interpreted away and often ignored without the fight or conviction to protect and defend them. Perhaps the freedoms of Patrick Henry are giving way to a slow but sure death. Perhaps we have failed to meet the challenge of Ben Franklin who told us the Republic they created for us was a marvelous way of government IF we could keep it. I wonder if we can. So, in the midst of barbeques and baseball, it is so healthy to look back and remember. Remember a George Washington, a general, a leader, a President, a warrior, a patriot. Or a Paul Revere who rode the land warning the enemy was coming, sounding the alarm. It seems as though we need more Paul Reveres, warning us that enemies to our Constitution and way of life are coming, and in fact are HERE. We The People should be ever mindful of the threats and sound the alarm as he did, like those who energized our country once before, THE BOSTON TEA PARTY PATRIOTS and the revolution their courageous acts energized and inspired. They took a stand against taxes and so must we. Ours continue to rise, and rise to the point of confiscation, but nothing destroys freedom like taxes. President John Adams reminded us the two killers of liberty are slavery and debt. The debt of confiscatory taxation strangles freedom, and that is happening at an incredibly rapid pace today. Shame on us. It is hard for us to think back and remember the early days in America when slavery was a way of life in America, to our great shame and embarrassment. We, the moderns, find that inconceivable, and the practice of slavery of any kind abhorrent, do we not? Right-thinking men and women fought and fell to rid America of the scourge of slavery, God bless them. And to rid the world of despots like Hitler, evil to the core, Mussolini, and those who, in war, would destroy the freedom and liberty of all. God bless them. There can hardly be a family anywhere in America which has not laid a son or daughter on the altar of freedom. So many fought and fell, lives given willingly for us in war after war. There were those who supported those who fought. We honor them. Many of our warriors and defenders came home hurt and damaged in body or mind, perhaps for a lifetime. On Memorial Day, we honor these veterans of wars, these HEROES, these wounded warriors who gave us our freedom: WE OWE THEM! A debt we can never repay. To honor them is the least we can do, to thank them as we remember and as we encounter those in our military who follow after them. We should help and support them. They lived and died for what they believed. Whenever I encounter a member of our military, I thank them for what they did and what they do for our great country, for me, and for you, and for my friends and loved ones, and all Americans whether I know them or not. But, I really do know them, for I know what is in their hearts and minds and I know they love America as much as I do. I will salute them as a sign of respect. I wish them to know I will always be grateful for everything they do for me and the America I love. Perhaps YOU should do the same, not on one Memorial Day, but on all days. They, the heroes and defenders, are the very best of us. God bless them. Memorial Day is always celebrated at Arlington National Cemetery, a very special place, a burial site for some of America's bravest. At 3:00 PM on that Monday, a very special ceremony occurs, and each grave is decorated with a small American flag. The highlight of the celebration is a speech in honor of these brave men and women from the President or Vice President of the United States honoring their contributions to America and laying a wreath at the tomb of The Unknown Soldier. That tomb represents tens of thousands of other unknown soldiers who gave their lives in service to our country, but in death never got the recognition and respect they so justly deserved. Do remember them, my fellow Americans, do remember them as well on Memorial Day, as there may be no one else, no loved one, no friend or family to do so. As you do remember these American heroes, thank our God, the God who blesses America for all those who gave so much for us. They allowed us to be parents, to have and enjoy family, they allowed us to be workers and fully participate in the great opportunities America offers. THEY allowed us to be all we can be, because our soldiers, they were determined to be all they could be. Have a special place in your heart all week for any loved one, family or friend of yours who should be MEMORIALIZED AND REMEMBERED this day and always. And, as we pay tribute and remember, let us become better citizens of this great country, ready more than ever to preserve, protect, and defend all it stands for, all of our blessed and precious freedoms which exist like there are nowhere else in the world. Let us stand for what is right with actions, protests, town meetings, marches, debate, fact and truth at work, counteracting government spin and disinformation. Let us stand tall for the right, for truth, for all things moral and valuable. Let us resolve, WE THE PEOPLE, we who own and control this country, to do our job as citizens far better, and remember to cherish and exercise the greatest privilege which every American has THE VOTE! There is no more powerful weapon than the vote of the American citizen. It is the most precious Constitutional right we have, and for which our forefathers fought and died. Let us make certain we vote for those to represent us, who so passionately believe in these very special freedoms as we do, and they, the fallen, did. It is only then, when we do our part, day in and day out, that we would have the right to say, with conviction and passion, as our forefathers did: GOD BLESS AMERICA! For that can not happen unless WE THE PEOPLE do what is right, remembering whom and what went before, and committing with conviction to follow in their footsteps. These men and women died for GOD AND COUNTRY and for you and me in the never-ending fight to protect and preserve: FREEDOM! Memorialize their memories on Memorial Day and every day! God bless America and God bless you.

Thomas Jefferson was the primary author of the Declaration of Independence; he was a driving force in America's religious freedoms and the separation of church and state; and he doubled the size of the U.S. with the Louisiana Purchase. He also owned approximately 600 people in his lifetime. This episode explores his great achievements, as well as the failings in his personal life, particularly regarding slavery.

Good character and godly manners have the power to shape a nation. On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. Dobson reads from his classic book, Bringing Up Girls. He draws from the wisdom of John Adams and others to make the case that raising daughters with civility, poise, and moral grounding is one of the most important things a parent can do.

So close to the semiquincentennial, it's great to see a novel focused on the life of Abigail Adams, a woman appreciated even in her own time—especially by her husband of more than half a century, John Adams, the second president of the United States—but not, at the time, for her determination that her new country should also extend liberty to its female citizens. Of course, Abigail Adams has received considerable attention since for her views on the need for adult women to control their own futures, but in the process much of the complexity of her life, her character, her surroundings, and her family has dropped out of the discussion. In A Founding Mother: A Novel of Abigail Adams (William Morrow, 2026), Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie dive into the story of Abigail's and John's long and loving marriage, their political service and economic problems, their time at home and abroad, and their six children—four of whom survived to adulthood but not all of whom thrived once they got there. It's all wonderfully rich and complex, both emotionally and in terms of the history revealed here—enhanced by the feminine perspective. The American Revolution as it happened was not the neat story told in school but messy, sprawling, contentious, risky, and eventful, and the formation of the resulting republic reflected all those competing trends. Unless you're a historian specializing in this place and time, I can guarantee you will find out things you never knew, and in entertaining ways. Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie have published numerous novels, together and separately. Find out more about their joint projects here. C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and four other novels. Her next book, Song of the Silk Weaver, will appear later in 2026.

In part 2 of the interview with Dr. John Adams, we learn more about Governor Oran Roberts’ significant contribution to Texas public higher education.

Newt talks with Bret Baier, Chief Political Anchor of Fox News Channel and the anchor and executive editor of Special Report with Bret Baier, about his new book, “The Case for America: An Argument on Behalf of Our Nation.” Baier makes the case that the United States remains resilient and exceptional despite its flaws. He draws heavily on six presidents, George Washington, Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, and Ronald Reagan, to describe American resilience, leadership, and optimism. He argues that the Declaration of Independence was a courageous, high-risk act that defined the nation’s core truths: choosing unity despite dissent, serving as a beacon of freedom, demonstrating a unique capacity for resilience, and remaining a land of opportunity. Their discussion extends to the founders’ disagreements, the risk they faced in signing the Declaration, and the evolution of American political rivalry and reconciliation, exemplified by the bitter split and later warm correspondence between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Turning to contemporary politics, Baier contends that the upcoming America 250th celebration offers a chance to rebuild shared civic affection across ideological lines by acknowledging both the country’s problems and its strengths.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Good artists borrow, great artists steal. Apparently, Thomas Jefferson got the memo. It turns out some North Carolinians penned their own Declaration of Independence nearly a year before TJ scribed his. So, if Thomas Jefferson stole (borrowed/homaged) the language for the Declaration of Independence, why have we never talked about this? Well, there was one heck of cover up! To get the full story, we call up David Fleming, author of Who's Your Founding Father?: One Man’s Epic Quest to Uncover the First, True Declaration of Independence.
