As a direct descendant of Benjamin Franklin, the Chapman University economist Mark Skousen might be a bit biased. That said, Skousen makes an entertaining case in his new book, The Greatest American, for Franklin as being the most innovative and versatile of the Founding Fathers. Skousen acknowledges Franklin's contradictions: his transition from slave owner to abolitionist, his notoriety as a ladies' man and, above all, his moral philosophy of deploying his private wealth for the public good. What we are left with is the most human and least overtly political of all the Founding Fathers. Five Key Takeaways * Versatile Genius: Franklin excelled in numerous fields, with Skousen identifying 22 different careers including printing, science, diplomacy, and civic leadership, making him uniquely accomplished among American historical figures.* Ethical Capitalism: Franklin represents an ideal capitalist model who made his fortune by age 42, then dedicated the rest of his life to public service, establishing libraries, hospitals, and other civic institutions.* Personal Evolution: Franklin demonstrated willingness to change his views, most notably transitioning from slave owner to becoming the first president of Pennsylvania's abolitionist society.* Political Pragmatism: Franklin defied easy political categorization, valuing practical solutions over ideology and warning against concentrated power with his famous quote: "a republic, if you can keep it."* Complex Character: Despite his accomplishments, Franklin had notable flaws, including nepotism and his reputation as a "ladies' man," creating a complicated legacy that transcends simple hero worship.Mark Skousen holds the Doti-Spogli Chair of Free Enterprise at Chapman University in California. As an eighth-generation direct descendant of Benjamin Franklin, he has had a lifelong interest in the “grandfather” of our nation. Dr. Skousen's career has often followed that of his illustrious ancestor, as a publisher, author, financial advisor, teacher, father, public servant, and world traveler. In 2006, he and his wife, Jo Ann, compiled and edited The Compleated Autobiography by Benjamin Franklin, covering the remainder of his career, 1757–1790 (published by Regnery History).Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Brion McClanahan has a PhD in history from the University of South Carolina. Several years ago, he wrote a book titled "9 Presidents Who Screwed Up America: And Four Who Tried to Save Her." His view on the presidency is not the traditional one you get from most historians. On the back of his book, published by Regnery History, the liner notes claim: "The worst presidents are the ones who want to 'reform' the country through the power of the federal government, which usually means usurping the power of Congress or the people." Brion McClanahan focuses a negative spotlight on Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Barack Obama, and others." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When U.S. presidents clash with corporate titans, what tips the balance of power? In The Power and the Money: The Epic Clashes Between Commanders in Chief and Titans of Industry (Regnery History, 2024), acclaimed presidential historian Tevi Troy takes readers on a riveting journey through the biggest battles between CEOs and the nation's commander in chief. He unearths the untold stories - both political and personal - that have shaped America. Troy shows how the vast reach of the federal government become a critical fact of life for every business, entrepreneur, and innovator. Today, companies find themselves navigating a competitive landscape defined by stringent regulations, so top CEOs and key business leaders must influence the legislative and regulatory system. As public affairs teams and government relations experts put forward strategies to survive Washington, CEOs have become the most important warrior on the frontlines. The Power and the Money shows how some of the nation's most important CEOs forged (and fumbled) relationships with the president. Troy also shows how the most powerful man in the world depends on CEOs. CEOs provide assistance in the form of personnel, policy insights, and campaign cash, but they also become essential foils for presidents, serving as both allies and convenient enemies. The Power and the Money reveals an intricate web of power, where CEOs need presidents, and presidents need CEOs. Troy shows how each must step carefully - or risk unpredictable costs and collateral damage. From heavyweights John D. Rockefeller and Mark Zuckerberg to Katherine Graham, Elon Musk, and more, Troy takes readers inside the friendships and the conflicts that shook the American economy and re-shaped America. Drawing on his experiences as bestselling historian and former senior White House aide, Troy offers unique insights and details that shed light on the growing, intertwining behemoths of government and big business - and what it means for the future of our nation.

In light of DDay June 6, I have decided to rerun this interview made for Veteran's Day of last year.   The  M-1 Garand, the standard rifle for  World War II Infantryman. becomes a microphone for the living members of the Greatest Generation.  Join me in conversation with Mr. Andrew Biggio, US Marine, combat veteran, and Massachusetts police officer,  author of The Rifle: Combat Stories From America's Last WWII Veterans, Told Through an M1 Garand.. published by Regnery History.  Mr. Biggio traveled the country to speak with over 200 living veterans from World War II.    He shares with us their stories of war, deprivation, courage, and tenacity both on the battlefield and in the decades after the war.    This show is dedicated to my father-in-law, Colonel James J. McAloon who was truly the very best of the Greatest Generation. You can connect with Mr. Biggio's nonprofit to help wounded veterans Boston's Wounded Vet Run @ Theyfoughtweride.com. 

D-Day is June 6. We have all heard of Easy Company, the Band of Brothers and Dick Winters but little has been written of Ronald Speirs, the longest serving commander of Easy Company. Join me in conversation with co-author Jared Frederick as we discuss his new book Fierce Valor: The True Story of Ronald Speirs and His Band of Brothers  published by Regnery History.        

Who was the worst president in US history?  Often Warren G Harding is ranked at the bottom but Ryan S Walters author of the The Jazz Age President: Defending Warren G. Harding  published by Regnery History shows how this much maligned president earned a reputation he did not deserve.  Mr. Walters writes an engaging history about this little known and much criticized president.  Warren Harding 's presidency occurred after World War I and the Spanish Flu.  When he took office in 1920 there was runaway inflation and widespread unemployment. 100 years later there are deep similarities in the problems and challenges being faced in today's America.   Join me in interview with Ryan Walters as we talk about the Jazz Age President. .   Find Regnery History  here https://www.regnery.com/books/regnery-history/

Summary: There are myriad lists of best and worst presidents in U.S. history compiled by historians. Typically, presidents who helped expand the power of the federal government, led America into a major war, or both, are found at the top, while those whose governance benefited their constituents the most are found at the bottom. Warren G. Harding is in the latter category. He's often named one of the worst presidents in U.S. history. Ryan S. Walters says that's just plain wrong and joins Tom to discuss his new book, https://amzn.to/34cnSeT (The Jazz Age President: Defending Warren G. Harding). Guest bio: Ryan S. Walters is a writer and historian living in North Texas.

An elite platoon of Marine Scout-Snipers, Lieutenant Frank Tachovsky's "40 Thieves" were chosen for their willingness to defy rules and beat all-comers. When two Marines got into a fight, the loser ended up in the infirmary, the winner in the brig. Tachovsky wanted the winner on his team--a brush with military law was a recommendation. These full-blooded men were trained in a ruthless array of hand-to-hand killing techniques and then thrown into the battle for Saipan--Emperor Hirohito's "Treasure" and the bulwark of the Japanese Empire in the Pacific--where they would wreak havoc in and around, but mostly behind, enemy lines. They witnessed inhuman atrocities; walked into an ambush after the cunning Japanese used wounded Marines as bait; endured body-punishing extremes of heat, hunger, and thirst; fought a relentless enemy who would not surrender; and watched best friends die. In 40 Thieves on Saipan: The Elite Marine Scout-Snipers in One of WWII's Bloodiest Battles (Regnery History, 2020), Tachovsky's son Joseph tells their remarkable story--a story he didn't even know until after his father's death--reported from an extensive documentary record, including priceless mementos his father kept, and from exhaustive interviews with survivors who served under Lieutenant "Ski."

This is the end. And frankly I’m relieved to be through it. To be honest, when we first decided we’d venture outside the Amelia Earhart case, I had doubts. I still do if I’m being completely honest. But starting with Jack the Ripper was a good experiment for me. It tested my emotional ability to get through a case like this and come out the other side. You’ve had a couple of weeks to digest the trial, the evidence and the testimony and now the time is almost at hand for you to render your decision. Who do you think was Jack the Ripper? And does it even matter? Are the legacies of the victims what we should really be discussing here? Jack the Ripper is an enigma. A faceless man. A man without an identity. Or maybe a man with several. I know what I believe. Now, as always it's up to you. But before we leave you to decide we have one more person that we feel you need to hear from. And what she has to say might change the way you look at Montague John Druitt and the man behind this unspeakable evil forever.

On New Years’ Eve 1888, a body was found floating in the Thames at Chiswick. A channel known historically by locals as “the quiet river”. Upon inquisition into the finding, it was said that the body had been in the river for a month. Maybe more. Five days after the body was discovered, the Acton, Chiswick, and Turnham Green Gazette reported on the inquest into the person found in the river and featured the testimony of the subject’s brother. It read in part:  “The deceased was 31 as of his last birthday. He was a barrister-at-law, and an assistant master in a school at Blackheath. The witness heard from a friend on the 11th of December that the deceased had not been heard of at his chambers for more than a week. The witness then went to London to make inquiries, and at Blackheath he found that the deceased had got into serious trouble at the school, and had subsequently been dismissed. That was on the 30th of December. The witness had the deceased's personal effects searched where he resided, and found a paper addressed to him. The Coroner read the letter, which was to this effect: - "Since Friday I felt I was going to be like mother, and the best thing for me was to die." The witness, continuing, said “the deceased had never made any attempt on his life before. His mother became insane in July last. He had no other relative.” The jury at the inquest into his death duly returned a verdict of suicide by drowning "whilst of unsound mind." We’ve come a long way, and now I believe we’ve reached the end.  Welcome back to Vanished. Tonight we put who I believe to be the man responsible for the Autumn of Terror on trial. Our investigation ends here with witnesses, evidence and experts for the Crown VS. Montague John Druitt.  LINKS Our Website (https://www.vanishedshow.com/) Vanished on Twitter (https://twitter.com/vanishedpod)   Vanished on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/vanishedpod/?hl=en)   Vanished on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/vanishedpod)   Vanished Facebook Discussion Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/vanishedae)   Jennifer Taylor on Twitter (https://twitter.com/jentaylor2615)   Chris Williamson on Twitter (https://twitter.com/CWilliamson____)   Smith & Vinson Law Firm Official Website (https://www.smithandvinson.com/) Jennifer Taylor Attorney Profile @ Smith & Vinson's Official Website (https://www.smithandvinson.com/attorney-profiles/jennifer-taylor/) Smith & Vinson on Twitter (https://twitter.com/SmithandVinson) Judge role read by Brian Hastie of the Double Density podcast (https://www.doubledensity.net/) Exit script read by Jaden McKell of Straight Up Enigmas  (https://straightupenigmas.home.blog/) Music by Dane Gerous Schmidt (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm8068897/)   "Satisfied" performed by Amber Farndon Album Art Illustration 50399190 (https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-illustration-jack-ripper-cobble-streets-london-image50399190) © Alancotton (https://www.dreamstime.com/alancotton_info) | Dreamstime.com (https://www.dreamstime.com/) Vanished is a ChrisEvan Films Production Vanished is part of the Straight Up Strange Podcast Network (https://straightupstrange.com/)   John Hainsworth appears courtesy of Regnery History (https://www.regnery.com/books/regnery-history/) Get the UK edition of "The Escape of Jack the Ripper: The Truth About the Cover-up and His Flight from Justice" Here (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Escape-Jack-Ripper-Cover-up-Justice/dp/1445698145) Preorder the US release featuring new information on the case by Regnery History Here (https://www.amazon.com/Escape-Jack-Ripper-Cover-up-Justice/dp/168451178X/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1607296537&sr=8-1)   SHOW NOTES & FURTHER READING Montague John Druitt @ Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montague_Druitt)   George Robert Sims @ Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Robert_Sims)   Henry Richard Farquharson @ Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Richard_Farquharson) John Moylan @ Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Moylan)   Basil Thomson @ Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_Thomson)   Melville Macnaghten @ Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melville_Macnaghten)   Mcnaghten's Favoured Suspect @ jack-the-ripper.org (https://www.jack-the-ripper.org/druitt.htm)   Montague John Druitt @ Casebook (https://www.casebook.org/suspects/druitt.html) Montague John Druitt @ Jack the Ripper Tour (https://www.jack-the-ripper-tour.com/montague-john-druitt/)   The Macnaghten Memoranda @ Casebook (https://www.casebook.org/official_documents/memo.html)   The Macnaghten Memoranda Original Document @ Casebook (https://www.casebook.org/images/memo.pdf) Courtesy of Thomas Schachner (http://www.jacktheripper.de/)

Washington Post best-selling presidential historian and former senior White House aide Tevi Troy examines some of the juiciest, nastiest, and most consequential internecine administration struggles in modern American history. In doing so, he not only provides context on the administrations, the players, and their in-fighting but also show how those fights shaped the administrations in question, the presidents' historical reputations, and the policy landscape of modern America. In showing these fights, the book highlights tough tactics used by sharp-elbowed operatives to prevail in bureaucratic disputes, from leaks to delays in submitting items for review to moving rivals out of cherished office spaces. Fight House: Rivalries in the White House from Truman to Trump (Regnery History, 2020) also looks at the presidents' role in all of this and questions long-standing assumptions about whether creative tension is really the best method of governing. Troy employs both his historical knowledge as well as his own high-level White House experience to inform his recommendations for the best ways to staff and organize a White House to ensure the best results for the president - and the American people. Part riveting interpersonal history, part case study, and part analysis of the commanders in chief and their teams, Fight House is essential listening for students of the presidency and of the nation as a whole.

Fascination with The Titanic has not faded, though more than 105 years have passed since its tragic sinking when so many lives were lost, and an era of gilded glamor ended.  Culinary historian, Veronica Hinke’s new book, The Last Night on the Titanic: Unsinkable Drinking, Dining, and Style(Regnery History, 2019) is a celebration of the ethos of The Titanic, using the food and drink served on board as a fulcrum of a broader exploration of this fascinating episode of maritime history, the intriguing characters who sailed on her, and the enduring legacy of the world’s most famous Transatlantic crossing. Hinke tells the stories of millionaires and pastry chefs, popcorn vendors, and perfume salesmen, all gathered aboard the gargantuan ship for its celebrated maiden voyage in 1912. Hinke’s meticulous research has captured not only the glamour of the First-Class dining room but also the harrowing moments as families are separated at the lifeboats.  From menus stuffed into jacket pockets, and the archives of Gilded Age restaurants such as Delmonico’s and the St. Regis, Hinke has put together authentic recipes for many of the dishes served on the Titanic as well as the cocktails mixed at its elegant bars. Hinke’s passion for her material shines through this professionally researched, and thoroughly enjoyable exploration of Edwardian glamour and gastronomy on the high seas. Veronica Hinke is a culinary historian, food writer, and author.  She is the co-host of History Unplugged’s miniseries on The Titanic.  Find out more about Veronica by following her on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

Historian, Clint Johnson visits with the real stories echoed in Tom Hanks’ upcoming fictional movie, "Greyhound" in his book, "Tin Cans & Greyhounds: The Destroyers that Won Two World Wars" (Regnery History). In "Tin Cans & Greyhounds", Clint details how destroyers fought submarines, escorted convoys, rescued sailors and airmen, downed aircraft, shelled beaches, and attacked armored battleships and cruisers with nothing more than a half-inch of steel separating their crews from the dark waves.

Today we are joined by Skip Desjardin, author of the book September 1918: War, Plague, and the World Series (Regnery History, 2018). In this work, which blends sports and history together, Desjardin looks at the historic and turbulent events of September 1918 that affected Boston. The Red Sox won their fourth World Series in seven years, but the specter of World War I had shortened the baseball season. Players, disgruntled by the idea that they would be shortchanged in the regular season and the World Series, went on a brief strike before Game 4. A young Babe Ruth was a masterful pitcher but coming into his own as a hitter, but during the World Series, manager Ed Barrow was reluctant to use his left-handed star in the lineup when he was not pitching. Overseas, a Massachusetts volunteer unit led the first unified U.S. fighting unit into battle in France, while teenager David Putnam established himself as America’s flying ace during his short life. At home, an outbreak of Spanish influenza erupted in Boston and its suburbs, causing death at an alarming rate. Desjardin also touches on the women’s suffrage movement, spearheaded by Maud Park, who gained an audience with President Woodrow Wilson; the actions of Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Calvin Coolidge; and baseball players’ exemption from the “work or fight” order until after the World Series. Bob D’Angelo earned his master’s degree in history from Southern New Hampshire University in May 2018. He earned his bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Florida and spent more than three decades as a sportswriter and sports copy editor, including 28 years on the sports copy desk at The Tampa (Fla.) Tribune. He can be reached at bdangelo57@gmail.com. For more information, visit Bob D’Angelo’s Books and Blogs.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today we are joined by Skip Desjardin, author of the book September 1918: War, Plague, and the World Series (Regnery History, 2018). In this work, which blends sports and history together, Desjardin looks at the historic and turbulent events of September 1918 that affected Boston. The Red Sox won their fourth World Series in seven years, but the specter of World War I had shortened the baseball season. Players, disgruntled by the idea that they would be shortchanged in the regular season and the World Series, went on a brief strike before Game 4. A young Babe Ruth was a masterful pitcher but coming into his own as a hitter, but during the World Series, manager Ed Barrow was reluctant to use his left-handed star in the lineup when he was not pitching.

“Gettysburg Rebels” is the gripping true story of five young men who grew up in Gettysburg, moved south to Virginia in the 1850s, joined the Confederate army – and returned “home” as foreign invaders for the great battle in July 1863. Drawing on rarely-seen documents and family histories, as well as military service records and contemporary accounts, Tom McMillan delves into the backgrounds of Wesley Culp, Henry Wentz and the three Hoffman brothers in a riveting tale of Civil War drama and intrigue. Tom McMillan is the author of “Flight 93: The Story, The Aftermath and The Legacy of American Courage on 9/11.” He has spent a lifetime in communications as a newspaper sports writer for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, among others, as a radio talk show host, and, for the past 21 years as VP of Communications for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Quick – name your favorite president. You probably said Washington or Lincoln, right? C'mon. You can be more original than that. Well, Brion McClanahan is original. He gladly tells people that the greatest president in American history was John Tyler. Confused looks then follow, usually with a question of "Who was that again?" On the other hand, we all have presidents whom we think were terrible. You can point to a Jimmy Carter, a Herbert Hoover, a Warren G. Harding, or (if you're an insufferable history nerd like me) Millard Fillmore. But Abraham Lincoln? Brion McClanahan—again, being original here—makes the argument that Lincoln, far from being America's savior, may have done her irreparable harm. But he is not making this argument for the sake of being a contrarian. Rather it's a position grounded in thorough research an consideration of what the real responsibility of a president is. After all, he wrote a book called 9 Presidents Who Screwed Up America: And Four Who Tried to Save Her. I can almost guarantee that you won't be able to guess who he names as the good and bad presidents. In this episode we discuss who they were, why they were so good or bad, and whether Brion has seen Hamilton on Broadway (he has a book on him coming out later this year). McClanahan argues that... Lincoln violated the Constitution because as commander in chief he believed he had to “subdue the enemy,” no matter the collateral damage. His violations created a blueprint for more executive abuse in the future. By the time Obama left office earlier this year, Americans suffered under twenty-eight consecutive years of unconstitutional executive usurpation of power. Over a two-year period, the Obama administration delayed the implementation of the Affordable Care Act twenty-eight times, ostensibly to give employers time to comply with the law. This was a blatantly unconstitutional power grab by the executive office. History has shown that presidents tend to abuse their power in their second term, and that the best presidents tend to serve less than eight years in office. MORE ABOUT BRION Brion McClanahan is the author or co-author of four books, The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Founding Fathers, (Regnery, 2009), The Founding Fathers Guide to the Constitution (Regnery History, 2012), Forgotten Conservatives in American History (Pelican, 2012), and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Real American Heroes, (Regnery, 2012). He has written for TheDailyCaller.com, LewRockwell.com, TheTenthAmendmentCenter.com, Townhall.com, and HumanEvents.com. McClanahan is a faculty member at Tom Woods’ Liberty Classroom, has appeared on dozens of radio talk shows, and has spoken across the Southeast on the Founding Fathers and the founding principles of the United States.

Trying to figure out what Hitler “really” thought about anything is difficult because he was–among many other things–a clever, opportunistic politician and a very prolix one at that. Over the course of his 20+ career he gave thousands of speeches, wrote two long books “explaining” (if that’s the right word) his beliefs, and offered endless monologues to his acolytes on every imaginable topic. He was always adjusting his message to his audience, the result–taken together–being a mass of contradictions. Hitler was, well, a professional dissembler.  Hitler’s inconstancy is never more evident than in his talk about religion. Depending on which Hitler you pay attention to, you can find him sounding like a Christian or a Pagan, a Believer or an Atheist, a supporter of established religion and someone who wanted to obliterate it. What he said on religious topics always depended on whom he was talking to and, more generally, when he was talking. As Richard Weikart points out in his terrific book Hitler’s Religion: The Twisted Beliefs that Drove the Third Reich (Regnery History, 2016), you really have to pay close attention to context and timing if you want to uncover Hitler’s likely religious beliefs. And that’s exactly what Weikart does in Hitler’s Religion. In the effort, he destroys myths (that Hitler was a Christian of any sort) and proves what has only been suspected (that Hitler would have destroyed the established Churches had he won the war). Weikart’s prose is crystal clear and the book is wonderfully organized. This is an excellent, readable history. You should read it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
