On Monday, January 27, 2025, SRNY commemorated the birthday of Frederick Samuel Tallmadge, the second President of the Sons of the Revolution℠ in the State of New York, Inc., whose generosity enabled the Society to acquire Fraunces Tavern in 1904. Our featured speaker was Richard Brookhiser,* author of Glorious Lessons: John Trumbull, Painter of the American Revolution. This engaging book tells the life-story of John Trumbull, and also explains the significance of Trumbull's celebrated Revolutionary War paintings, which reflected Trumbull's personal experience as aide to George Washington and to Horatio Gates. Richard Brookhiser is a celebrated journalist and author who has written a series of biographies and other books on American founders and other leading figures in American history, including Alexander Hamilton, Governor Morris, George Washington, John Marshall, James Madison, Abraham Lincoln and the Adams family dynasty. *The views of the speakers are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Sons of the Revolution℠ in the State of New York, Inc. or its Fraunces Tavern® Museum.

Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
Colonel John Trumbull, Artist John Trumbull must be one of the only artists in the history of American art to insist upon being addressed by his military rank; he was Colonel Trumbull until he died. But it was not John Trumbull's feats in battle or in managing administrative correspondence that won him fame among his contemporaries, but what he painted on canvas. Hanging in the rotunda of the US Capitol are four of the paintings in which he sought to preserve memories and paint a history of the American Revolution, but also teach something of the ethics appropriate to war; of democratic and republican virtue; of political power flowing from a sovereign people; and of the need to relinquish that power when called to do so. To this day some of the most recognizable images of the Revolution are almost certainly something painted by Trumbull–most likely either The Death of General Warren at the Battle of Bunker's Hill, or the painting known simply as The Declaration of Independence. If occupying space rent-free in posterity's imagination is ever the ambition of an artist, then Trumbull succeeded, and then some. With me today to discuss the life, art, and civic teaching of John Trumbull is Richard Brookhiser. Beginning with his 1997 book Founding Father: Rediscovering George Washington, Richard Brookhiser has written a shelf of books on the American founders, the most recent of which is Glorious Lessons: John Trumbull, Painter of the American Revolution. For Further Investigation Highly recommended: "Let This Be a Lesson: Heroes, Heroines, and Narrative in Paintings at Yale," a brilliant series of lectures on history painting by John Walsh, from which I've learned a lot. See particularly Lecture 7, on Benjamin West, and Lecture 8, on John Trumbull, focusing on his painting of the Battle of Bunker Hill. There are many HT episodes on related issues. You might be interested in Episode 163, on Joseph Warren, the first martyr of the American Revolution, whose death is the focus of Trumbull's first history painting; or Episode 176, which focuses heavily on the images of revolutionary victors created by Trumbull and his contemporaries (some of whom were his friends and acquaintances)

Insights from C.S. Lewis and George Washington on being better than we actually are. Turns out “fake it to make it” might actually be a decent mantra for self-improvement. This is Geeky Stoics. A Podcast and Newsletter about the wisdom to be found in popular culture.TRANSCRIPTI've been thinking a lot lately about imposter syndrome and when exactly I'm going to feel like the person I one day wish to be.There's a future me out there who I believe is more disciplined and entrepreneurial, creative, brave, and patient.When is he going to arrive?There's a lot that I want to say on this subject.It's one that I refer to as self-actualization, and I'm going to share two insights with you on that, one from C.S.Lewis and another from George Washington biographer Richard Brookhiser.In Mere Christianity, a book by C.S.Lewis, he lays out the practical path to being a Christian.Contrary to what many in the world teach, particularly in the church, Lewis offers a poetic case for what you might recognize as fake it to make it.At some point, we have to decide, I am an artist.I am an author.I am a Christian.I am a soldier.Declaring it so might actually be your best hope of realizing it in the real world.This is CS Lewis.When you are not feeling particularly friendly but know you ought to be, the best thing you can do very often is to put on a friendly manner and behave as if you were a nicer person than you actually are.And in a few minutes, as we have all noticed, you will be really feeling friendlier than you were.Just by pretending.Very often the only way to get a quality in reality is to start behaving as if you had it all along.Pretending.C.S.Lewis, ever the fan of imaginative play and make-believe, suggests here that to be more Christ-like, a believer's best hope is to role-play.Your heart may never be fully transformed in this life, but you're better served by pretending that it is.Do this every single day in every walk of your life that you see as important.Fatherhood, motherhood, marriage, career, creativity, spirituality.Now, in George Washington on Leadership, a book by Richard Brookhiser, he tells of how Washington would inspire his troops throughout his military career.Washington's letters and accounts of WashingtonAt war, show that the famed General and Father of America often referred to his colleagues as, quote, my brave fellows when addressing them.My brave fellows, I ask you to reenlist.My brave fellows, fight.Richard Brookhiser says, maybe they would go home or run away and not be brave at all, but Washington would get them to be brave by telling them that they are.Now imagine if you went through life like the Cowardly Lion and the Wizard of Oz, both being told that you're a coward and telling it to yourself every single day.And then someone comes along and tells you that you could be brave and even that perhaps you already are brave.Anybody who's raised kids knows that this kind of rhetorical nudge matters a heck of a lot in helping kids realize their potential.Start being the person you want to be today.Tell yourself you are that person.You might find that by saying it, you hold yourself closer to the standards of that future you that you want to one day arrive.This is a complex subject.You know, you don't want to fake.You don't want to be disingenuous.You don't want to be unreal.You also don't want to, you know, carry a sort of hubris like you're better than you are.This is, of course, the nature of balance.You want to try to get these things in balance with one another.But you do have to aspire to be that future version of yourself.And that might just mean that you have to role play it and act it out every single day.I hope you can find that balance.I'm Stephen Kent and you're listening to the Geeky Stoics Podcast.You can find out more about what we do, finding wisdom in pop culture, books, TV, and movies over at geekystoics.com.Sign up for a free subscription and do leave a kind review on this podcast.It'll help you get your day off to a good start.That's what we aim for here and hope that you have a wonderful end of the week and a great weekend.Be well and we'll see you soon.

In this episode, Center Director Mark Movsesian interviews historian Richard Brookhiser about his new documentary, “Free Exercise: America's Story of Religious Liberty.” How have minority religions tested and shaped America's commitment to religious freedom over the centuries–and how has America changed those religions in return? From the Flushing Remonstrance of 1657 until now, it has… The post Legal Spirits 057: Historian Richard Brookhiser on Religious Freedom in America appeared first on LAW AND RELIGION FORUM.
Richard Brookhiser has been writing about American politics for half a century, though he has refreshed himself by writing a dozen books about the founding period, beginning with Founding Father: Rediscovering George Washington, with additional books on Gouverneur Morris, James Madison, the Adamses, Alexander Hamilton, and Abraham Lincoln, "the Founders' Son." We talk with him about the political ideas of the founding generation, and how they were viewed in their day-- his next book is on the artist Jonathan Trumbull—and ours.
John J. Miller is joined by Richard Brookhiser of National Review to discuss 'The Rules of Civility,' which were made famous by George Washington.
On November 12 , 2018, Richard Brookhiser delivered the banner lecture, “John Marshall: The Man Who Made the Supreme Court.” In 1801, a genial and brilliant Revolutionary War veteran and politician became the fourth Chief Justice of the United States. He would hold the post for thirty-four years (still a record), expounding the Constitution he loved. Before he joined the Court, it was the weakling of the federal government, lacking in dignity and clout. After he died, it could never be ignored again. Through three decades of dramatic cases involving businessmen, scoundrels, Native Americans, and slaves, Marshall defended the federal government against unruly states, established the Supreme Court's right to rebuke Congress or the president, and unleashed the power of American commerce. For better and for worse, he made the Supreme Court a pillar of American life. In John Marshall: The Man Who Made the Supreme Court, award-winning biographer Richard Brookhiser vividly chronicles America's greatest judge and the world he made. In this lecture, he will discuss Marshall's landmark court decisions and his legacy today. Richard Brookhiser is a senior editor of National Review and the author of twelve previous books, including Founder's Son: A Life of Abraham Lincoln; James Madison; and John Marshall: The Man Who Made the Supreme Court.

The Hangover begins with Richard Brookhiser (American historian and longtime editor at National Review) making a statement that is both clear and simple and yet seems like a revolutionary point to be made among Republicans: “Trump had his day, but it passed.” The question remains, why aren't they acting like it? Furthermore, how did the Republican grassroots go from Tea Partiers tidying up after themselves on the National Mall to rioters breaking into the Capitol in the space of just over a decade? Brookhiser explains this populist overthrow within the tradition of political factionalism stretching all the way back to Madison.Show Notes:-Founder's Son by Richard Brookhiser-I Love You, but I Hate Your Politics, by Jeanne Safer-The Tea Party was notoriously clean-Some U.S. cities are semi-permanently wrecked from 20th-century rioting-Democrats have become the party of the rich-The “anti-elitist” Democratic-Republican Party was made up of rich guys-A giant list of Israeli political parties-Brookhiser argues that liberty is the core of American politicsChapter 2: Chris Talks With Eric Cantor Get full access to The Hangover at hangoverpodcast.thedispatch.com/subscribe

In Give Me Liberty: A History of America's Exceptional Idea (Basic Books, 2019), Richard Brookhiser has written a history of an idea, liberty, using an unconventional format of a review of documents from America’s past that touch upon different understandings of liberty. Brookhiser reviews thirteen documents from each era of America’s past. He starts with the 1619 document noting the beginning of representative and deliberative self-government in Jamestown, Virginia. He includes a review of notable, well known documents, from the Seneca Falls Declaration from 1848 to Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address from 1863 to William Jennings Bryan’s “Cross of Gold” speech in 1896 to Ronald Reagan’s Berlin Wall speech in 1987. Yet, Brookhiser also analyzes some “hidden history,” covering documents that are less well known. For example, he reviews the Flushing Remonstrance of 1657, wherein common people in New York publicly demanded liberty of conscience, not for themselves, but for a religious minority and for religious beliefs they did not personally embrace. Instances such as these reveal the widespread and deeply felt sense that liberty is endemic to humans and should be recognized by positive law and protected by government. Ian J.

We've all been there – the family dinners turned full-fledged political debates, the awkward chat in the kitchen at work, the difficulty of discussing politics on a first date or even at dinner with a long-time partner. Today's divisive climate – and the seemingly neverending circus of Brexit – has made discussion of current events uncomfortable and often uncivil. So, how exactly do we find ways to reach across the aisle to those whose views we find unpalatable? Psychotherapist and lifetime liberal Jeanne Safer hopes to shed some light on the situation. Combining her professional expertise with personal experience gleaned from over forty years of happy marriage to her stalwart conservative husband Richard Brookhiser, as well as a wealth of interviews with politically mixed couples, Safer offers frank advice for salvaging and strengthening relationships strained by political differences. Part relationship guide, part anthropological study, I Love You, but I Hate Your Politics: How to Protect Your Intimate Relationships in a Poisonous Partisan World (Bitback, 2019) is a helpful and entertaining how-to for anyone who has felt they are walking on eggshells in these increasingly uncertain times.

We’ve all been there – the family dinners turned full-fledged political debates, the awkward chat in the kitchen at work, the difficulty of discussing politics on a first date or even at dinner with a long-time partner. Today’s divisive climate – and the seemingly neverending circus of Brexit – has made discussion of current events uncomfortable and often uncivil.

In the spring of 1837, Justice Joseph Story was despondent. A new chief justice—the infamous Roger Taney—had just joined the bench. And the Supreme Court decided Charles River Bridge v. Warren Bridge over Story’s dissent. The case signaled a shift from a court that favored strong federal power and robust constitutional protections for property rights, and gave way to the new populist, Jacksonian-influenced view opposing purported monopolies and seeking to invigorate states’ rights. Was Story the “last of the old race of judges”?

Sarah Palin is a game changer, is there any doubt after this weekend? She has simultaneously energized the conservative base AND independents. I am truly shocked by how well this pick has been received. Conservatives have been waiting for McCain to stick his finger in their eye once again. With this pick, he has shocked them by delivering an authentic conservative. He raised $3 million overnight and has re-energized his base in a way few thought possible. I am surprised that independents have been as impressed, 64% of unaffiliated voters now give positive reviews to McCain, up ten points since naming his running mate. I really thought this was a risky choice. I, like Richard Brookhiser of National Review, took a decidedly negative view initially. I tried to make these points tonight, but the callers for the most part, were having none of it. Here’s Brookhiser, "The Palin pick shows a low opinion of the vice presidency, and it shows conservatives in a bad light." Why is this so? Because for months experience has been the issue. McCain has undercut his two main campaign themes, Barack is NOT READY TO LEAD and COUNTRY FIRST. Can you really make the arguement that McCain put country first with this pick? Instead, it is the GOP embracing the identity politics it claims to detest. Palin tickles all the right interest groups, women (check), guns (check), God (check), pro life (check). All that said, repubicans don’t seem to care. They love the Palin pick and for good reason. She is what Barack Obama claims to be. She’s a reformer with a record instead of speeches. She’s bipartisan in action rather than in words. Unlike Obama, she has fought the politics of old within her own party. In short, she is the anti-Obama. Liberals are besides themselves. They are not simply pointing out the experience issue, they are openly mocking her. Some, like the loathsome Andrew Sullivan, are quite happy to pass along ugly smears against the Palin family. All I can say about this is, keep it, please, keep it up. The enthusiasm for this pick is simply amazing. No matter what happens from here, one thing is clear, Sarah Palin is a game changer.

Here’s Brookhiser, "The Palin pick shows a low opinion of the vice presidency, and it shows conservatives in a bad light." Why is this so? Because for months experience has been the issue. McCain has undercut his two main campaign themes, Barack is NOT READY TO LEAD and COUNTRY FIRST. Can you really make the arguement that McCain put country first with this pick? Instead, it is the GOP embracing the identity politics it claims to detest. Palin tickles all the right interest groups, women (check), guns (check), God (check), pro life (check). All that said, repubicans don’t seem to care. They love the Palin pick and for good reason. She is what Barack Obama claims to be. She’s a reformer with a record instead of speeches. She’s bipartisan in action rather than in words. Unlike Obama, she has fought the politics of old within her own party. In short, she is the anti-Obama. Liberals are besides themselves. They are not simply pointing out the experience issue, they are openly mocking her. Some, like the loathsome Andrew Sullivan, are quite happy to pass along ugly smears against the Palin family. All I can say about this is, keep it, please, keep it up. The enthusiasm for this pick is simply amazing. No matter what happens from here, one thing is clear, Sarah Palin is a game changer.
