Podcasts about Theodore Roosevelt

From Devils Tower in northwestern Wyoming, Host David Horton and Clay Jenkinson discuss Theodore Roosevelt's conservation achievements. When the National Monuments and Antiquities Act was passed in 1906, President Roosevelt lost no time in setting aside what would become 18 National Monuments, starting with Devils Tower just west of the Black Hills. Roosevelt had little to do with the creation of the Antiquities Act, but he made the most of it, culminating in his colossal designation of Grand Canyon National Monument in 1908. In the course of his two-term presidency, Roosevelt set aside a whopping 230 million acres of National Park, National Forest, National Monument, National Wildlife Refuge, and National Game Preserve. No president has done more. David asked Clay to outline his three-phase Roosevelt conservation tour for 2026. First, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Colorado; later, Montana and Idaho; and in the fall, all of Roosevelt's conservation designations in the Four Corners region of the Southwest.

A coaching client this week was grinding four hours a night, sitting on six ASINs he'd already vetted, and still couldn't pull the trigger. His words: "There's gotta be something I'm missing here." He wasn't missing a tool. He was missing permission to act.   In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy take you inside an actual coaching call where Robin turned three "pass on it" ASINs into two she'd test in real time. The fix wasn't a new filter or a secret tactic. It was learning to read the right number instead of the one every calculator shoves to the front page.   Why the current buy box, the price you can buy it at right now, never once entered Robin's decision. Why a $1.79 product that nets 50 cents isn't too small, it's 28% ROI and the cheapest belief-builder you'll ever buy. Why you should start your price at the highest evidence you have and let the test, not the other sellers, tell you what it's worth. And what Robin hunts for on every red ASIN that most people close the tab on.   The client said it himself: "I have to get out of my own head." Teddy Roosevelt said it better. In any moment of decision, the worst thing you can do is nothing.   You didn't fail to find five ASINs. You just kept disqualifying products for failing a test you never ran. Let's go test more ASINs.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Can Jeff help me with trademarks and LLC eastablishment?"

In 250 jaar jaar telden de Verenigde Staten van Amerika 47 presidenten. Wie waren zij? Hoe deden ze het, als staatshoofd en als politiek leider? Wie van hen zetten écht de toon? En hoe kijken wij nu naar mensen als Abraham Lincoln, Harry Truman, Richard Nixon en Donald Trump? Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger praten hierover met professor Michael Nelson van Rhodes College in Memphis, eminent kenner, auteur en samensteller van reeksen boeken over het ambt, de impact en het leven van presidenten. *** This is a Dutch podcast, but from minute 6 on, the conversation is in English.

Hoe deze in te vullen, wist eigenlijk niemand. Michael Nelson schetst kleurrijk hoe George Washington dit allemaal zelf moest uitvinden en hoe hij wonderlijk goed erin slaagde die rol ook voor zijn opvolgers inhoud, richting en stijl te geven. Na hem zouden anderen deze functie verder kleur geven. Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) ging met veto's in tegen het Congres, als anti-elite politicus. Teddy Roosevelt (1901 - 1909) was de man die als moderne populist nieuwe media als magazines en zelfs film ging inzetten. Zijn neef Franklin Roosevelt (1933 - 1945) professionaliseerde het Witte Huis als zijn persoonlijke apparaat en machtscentrum, zelfs op wereldschaal. Elke president nadien is zo hun opvolger. Nelson relativeert hoe 'zwaar' de baan van de president is. Het Witte Huis levert immers een gedegen machinerie die de bewoner bijna alles uit handen kan nemen. Wel zie je dat presidenten er soms vereenzamen, opgesloten raken in hun stress en daardoor ongelukkig en stuurloos worden. De baan laat het karakter van een president heel zichtbaar worden. "President worden, onthult wie je echt bent," zegt Nelson. Zo bleek de eenvoudige Harry Truman ongedachte kwaliteiten van leiderschap en daadkracht te hebben, terwijl Richard Nixon zeker een briljant politicus was, maar in de greep raakte van zijn demonen. Donald Trump is volgens Nelson een fundamentele breuk: hij voelt niet aan wat de rol van staatshoofd betekent. Kenmerkend noemt hij hoe Trump '250 jaar VS’ viert. Niet het ideaal van ‘leven, vrijheid en het nastreven van geluk' staat centraal, maar zijn persoonlijk hobbyisme. "Hij wil bij leven nog overal zijn naam op de gevels gedrukt zien." De historische dynamiek en de vaste waarden in het ambt van president hebben grote invloed op ons oordeel over hoe die 47 heren hun rol als politiek leider en staatshoofd invulden. We kijken meestal terug vanuit de politieke normen van onze eigen tijd. Daardoor daalt en stijgt de reputatie van verschillende van hen soms verrassend. Presidenten als Ulysses Grant, Harry Truman en Dwight Eisenhower bijvoorbeeld, werden pas later veel meer gewaardeerd. Wat Nelson betreft staan eigenlijk alleen de drie min of meer permanent hoogst beoordeelden op een vast voetstuk. "Washington, Lincoln en Franklin Roosevelt blijven het rolmodel. Zij moesten alle drie het ambt in ongekende omstandigheden bekleden en dat deden ze briljant. En ja, ze stierven meteen, dat hielp hun reputatie ook wel." Michael Nelson heeft voor de luisteraars nog een reeks niet te missen tips. Bij welke bibliotheek van welke president moet je echt gaan kijken? Welke biografie van welke president niet overslaan? Maar ook: wie wil Trump echt als zijn opvolger kronen en waarom niét JD Vance? Maar wat doet Frank Sinatra in deze aflevering? *** Verder lezen Het boek dat het beste aansluit bij deze aflevering is The American Presidency: Origins and Development, 1776-2025.

SONS of LIBERTY Radio with Bradlee Dean Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Hear Ye, Hear Ye: Public Judgment, Moral Crisis, and the Cost of Silence Public Abuse Allegations and Institutional Cover-Ups The episode opens with a prerecorded segment connecting the Penn State scandal and the Franklin cover-up through allegations of abuse, institutional silence, missing evidence, and the vulnerability of children served by charitable organizations. The segment presents these cases as examples of public trust being violated and argues that powerful individuals and institutions were protected while victims were left without justice. Historical Warnings and Biblical Government The program then moves into historical and religious quotations, including remarks attributed to Noah Webster, Thomas Jefferson, John Dickinson, Theodore Roosevelt, and other public figures. These segments frame the episode around the host's view that American civil government should be measured by biblical morality, constitutional limits, and public accountability rather than by the power of officials or institutions. Apathy, Entertainment, and Public Responsibility The host argues that Americans have become distracted by spectacle, entertainment, politics, and corporate influence while losing sight of liberty, justice, and civic vigilance. He compares modern public entertainment to historical forms of public spectacle and repeatedly warns that people who remain passive in a time of corruption help create the conditions for greater judgment, tyranny, and social disorder. Crime, Recidivism, and Judicial Failure A major theme of the episode is the host's claim that repeat offenders, weak courts, and delayed consequences are endangering the public. He presents recidivism statistics and multiple crime examples to argue that the justice system is failing victims, rewarding criminals, and generating money for institutional interests while neglecting what he describes as biblical justice and lawful consequence. Constitutional Rights and Corrupt Officials The episode also returns to constitutional government, especially the Second and Fourth Amendments, gun bans, confiscation concerns, and the responsibility of representatives to obey the Constitution. The host argues that citizens must not obey unconstitutional decrees and that public officials who violate constitutional limits should be lawfully removed rather than treated as rulers over the people. Religious Judgment, Political Influence, and Closing Appeal Near the end, the host discusses religious leaders, political figures, institutional deception, Freemasonry, intelligence influence, and the Epstein files as part of a broader argument that corruption survives because citizens and churches fail to bring lawful judgment. The closing appeal centers on the idea that people should not blame God for evil while refusing, in the host's view, to obey God's commandments and enforce justice. Franklin Coverup and Penn State Parallels The host opens the program by comparing the Franklin Coverup involving Larry King's alleged procurement of children from Boys Town for powerful figures and blackmail to the Jerry Sandusky scandal at Penn State where the Second Mile charity was used to abuse boys with university officials covering it up. Suspicious Deaths and Investigations Details are given of investigator Gary Carradori's plane explosion that scattered child pornography evidence seized by the FBI and the mysterious disappearance of district attorney Ray Grecar whose computer showed searches on destroying hard drives both tied to attempts to expose the abuse rings. Biblical and Historical Foundations Quotations from Noah Webster Thomas Jefferson John Dickinson and other founders are presented to argue that Christian biblical principles form the basis of American liberty morality and civil government while neglecting Scripture leads to vice crime and oppression. Modern Moral Decay and Pride Culture The host condemns tolerance of pride parades transgender issues and normalization of child sexual abuse citing Romans 1 and Amos 6:1 as warnings that such tolerance hastens God's judgment on the nation while Christians remain apathetic at ease in Zion. Media Bias Crime Recidivism and Immigration Examples of unreported black-on-white crimes by repeat offenders with dozens of prior arrests are contrasted with media focus on white perpetrators while Somali gang involvement in a Minnesota shooting is said to be covered up and blamed on a white suspect illustrating selective reporting and failed justice. Conspiracy Controlled Opposition and Call to Justice Discussions range from Steven Spielberg's films attacking Christianity and CIA influence in Hollywood to Epstein files Netanyahu visits Zionist use of Muslims and Turning Point USA figures including Erica Kirk Candace Owens and Frank Turek portrayed as controlled opposition or heretics while urging listeners to stand for biblical justice against workers of iniquity.

America's wildlife comeback story began with hunters recognizing conservation before the rest of the nation. America's conservation system didn't begin in Washington. It started with hunters, anglers, and outdoorsmen recognizing that wildlife populations and wild places were disappearing across the continent. In this conversation, the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation launches the Hunt Fish 250 campaign with a deep dive into the origins of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation, the public trust doctrine, and the sporting traditions that shaped the nation itself. Simon Roosevelt and James Cummins trace the roots of hunting and fishing from Native American land stewardship and subsistence living to Theodore Roosevelt, the Boone and Crockett Club, and the early conservation movement that saved species like whitetail deer, bison, and wild turkey from collapse. The discussion explores how fair chase hunting, habitat management, public lands conservation, and wildlife science became foundational American values. Listeners will also hear how landmark legislation like the Lacey Act, Pittman-Robertson Act, Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and Sport Fish Restoration Act transformed modern wildlife management and conservation funding. This is a conversation about more than hunting rights or fishing access. It's about why hunters and anglers remain central to protecting wildlife habitat, managing forests and wetlands, funding conservation, and ensuring future generations can experience the outdoors the same way Americans have for centuries.   Follow the show for more weekly hunting, fishing, and conservation policy conversations.   Get the FREE Sportsmen's Voice e-publication in your inbox every Monday: ⁠www.congressionalsportsmen.org/newsletter⁠  Learn more about your ad choices.

During the Spanish-American War, Theodore Roosevelt was anxious to get into the action. He raised a volunteer cavalry unit for the conflict. Famously known as the Rough Riders, Roosevelt's volunteers served in Cuba and took part in the battle of San Juan Hill.

Crimes and Cover-ups in American P The history that the textbooks left out.For far too long, American history has been left in the unreliable hands of those that author Donald Jeffries refers to as the court historians. Crimes and Cover-ups in American Politics: 1776-1963 fights back by scrutinizing the accepted history of everything from the American War of Independence to the establishment reputation of Thomas Jefferson and the other Founding Fathers, the Civil War, the Lincoln assassination, both World Wars, US government experimentation on prisoners, mental patients, innocent children and whole populated areas, the Lindbergh baby kidnapping and much, much more. Secular saints like Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and Franklin D. Roosevelt are examined in a critical way they seldom have been.Jeffries spares no one and nothing in this explosive new book. The atrocities of Union troops during the Civil War, and Allied troops during World War II, are documented in great detail. The Nuremberg Trials are presented as the antithesis of justice. In the follow-up to his previous, bestselling book Hidden History: An Expose of Modern Crimes, Conspiracies, and Cover-Ups in American Politics, Jeffries demonstrates that crimes, corruption, and conspiracies didn't start with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.History should be much more than cardboard villains and impossibly unrealistic heroes. Thanks to the efforts of the court historians, most Americans are historically illiterate. Crimes and Cover-ups in American Politics: 1776-1963 is a bold attempt at setting the record straight. olitics: 1776-1963Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Today's funny podcast is basically what happens when sleep deprivation, trivia questions, and pesto sauce collide headfirst at 70 MPH.The gang kicks things off talking about The Boys, confusing CGI timelines, and whether anybody actually understands what's happening anymore in prestige television. Rafe is emotionally spiraling over loose plot threads, Moon checked out seasons ago, and somehow the conversation becomes less coherent from there. Which honestly feels impressive.Then it's time for another chaotic round of Match Up With The Morons — the game where confidence matters way more than intelligence. Moon and Learn square off in a trivia battle featuring fireworks origins, Roman numerals, and the single most dramatic pesto-related answer reveal in modern broadcasting history. There's also an alarming amount of discussion about the attractiveness of the green M&M. Which… yeah. That tracks for this show.Highlights include:Moon accidentally stumbling into the correct pesto answer like a drunk raccoon finding a winning lottery ticketLearn reverse-engineering Roman numerals in real time while actively losing her sanityAn unexpectedly passionate debate over the rarest M&M colorRafe emotionally describing Japanese math-rock like he's reviewing perfume commercialsKing Scott confidently remembering the year Coca-Cola launched as if he personally attended the ribbon cuttingAnd just when everyone thinks the show can't possibly derail harder, somebody on the text line claims Oklahoma borders Mexico. At which point the entire room briefly experiences collective brain failure.This episode of the funny podcast has everything:CGI confusion. Toe jams. Sexy sangria commentary. Mount Rushmore debates. Teddy Roosevelt “in the crevice.” Babushka lore. And enough incorrect geography to get the entire show banned from a middle school classroom.Honestly, this might be one of the most accidentally educational episodes we've ever done. Assuming your education was delivered by raccoons fighting behind a Waffle House dumpster.If you love a funny podcast full of sarcastic chaos, weird news energy, pop culture confusion, and friends aggressively roasting each other for nearly three hours straight, congratulations — you found your people.

Doris Kearns Goodwin is one of America's best known and most popular historians, having told the stories of great American leaders such as Abraham Lincoln, Lyndon Johnson, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt, and others. Now, she delves into her own life and the time she spent with her late husband, Richard Goodwin, to draw out fresh perspectives on many of the central figures of the 1960s. The Goodwins were married for 42 years. Richard Goodwin helped design LBJ's Great Society and was a close advisor to Robert Kennedy. Dorris Kearns was a 23-year-old graduate student when she was selected as a White House Fellow; she would work directly for President Johnson and later assisted on his memoir. The couple saw the momentous policies and movements of the 1960s from the inside, and they debated the achievements and failures of the leaders they served, and discussed just how much progress was made and promises left unfulfilled. Drawing on their lives—not to mention more than 300 boxes of letters, diaries, documents and memorabilia Richard Goodwin had saved for more than five decades—Doris Kearns Goodwin produced her latest book, An Unfinished Love Story. The exploration of those boxes and her shared history with her husband gave them both an opportunity to reassess some of the towering figures of the time: John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy, Eugene McCarthy and especially LBJ, who greatly impacted both of their lives. Join us as Doris Kearns Goodwin returns to Commonwealth Club World Affairs to share her unexpected discoveries, fresh appraisals, and the hope that the youth of today will carry forward “this unfinished love story with America.” Learn more about your ad choices.

American Grit Season 1: In this episode, Dale Partridge challenges you to rethink what it truly means to be American. Drawing from the Bible's clear categories for Israel—native-born, sojourner, foreigner, and outsider—he explains why heritage Americans, rooted in our Western European Christian founding stock, must receive priority in our nation. America was not established as a generic proposition nation, but as a distinct people formed for their own posterity. Dale makes the case that immigration without genuine assimilation is invasion. He defines true assimilation as adopting our language, culture, and Christian values—and ultimately intermarrying with the historic American people over generations. He rejects hyphenated Americanism and, quoting Theodore Roosevelt, calls for complete national unity. Christian nationalism, he argues, must be truly nationalist, not a Christian version of multiculturalism. You will also hear Dale address how multiculturalism creates inevitable conflict, along with honest discussions on geography, skin color, and IQ. The episode closes with the weekly audit, covering Muslim issues in Europe, the urgent need for an organized Christian coalition, and revealing church polls on Israel, feminism, immigration, and race.

Christopher Payne—known as C.H. to his friends—lived more lives than a collection of most people. Born into enslavement, his mother insisted upon getting him an education.  After the Civil War, he was able to become a teacher and a pastor before publishing newspapers in which he addressed the stories of African Americans. He moved through the world of politics to garner the respect of President Teddy Roosevelt and the world.

President Theodore Roosevelt was a man who built himself from nothing, governed without apology, and believed that the highest form of patriotism was to tell the truth, do the hard work, and leave the country better than you found it. He fought the powerful, protected the land because he understood it was not his to keep, and charged every hill — physical, political, and moral — not because victory was certain but because the attempt was required. He was, above all, a man who meant what he said and said what he meant, at a cost he was always willing to pay. #BardsFM_TheAmericanBrand #RoughRiders #PresidentTheodoreRoosevelt  Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com MYPillow promo code: BARDS >> Go to https://www.mypillow.com/bards and use the promo code BARDS or...

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.

Jennie Nash hosts a Write Big session of the #amwriting podcast introducing an “arena” metaphor for writers, inspired by Brené Brown's Daring Greatly (and Teddy Roosevelt's “man in the arena” quote), Priya Parker's The Art of Gathering, and Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. Jennie argues that writers, like performers, intentionally gather an audience and should be clear about who they want in the “seats,” what experience they want readers to have, and what energy and feedback they want in return. Using Swift's deliberate creation of emotionally meaningful, immersive moments and audience delight, Nash urges writers to stop playing safe, claim full creative power, and step into the spotlight with purpose. She emphasizes that internal satisfaction comes from making what matters first, and that external rewards follow from writing big, not the other way around.Books* Daring Greatly by Brené Brown* The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker#AmWriting is a reader-supported publication.

This is a Write Big session, where I'm bringing you short episodes about the mindset shifts that help you stop playing small and write like it matters.Today I'm talking about a concept that I haven't spoken much about before, and it's a big one for me, and it might take a bit of explaining. The concept is a metaphor, and it has to do with an arena, with being a writer in an arena. And if the image that just came to your mind involves gladiators and bloody battles, that's not what I'm talking about.What I'm talking about is Taylor Swift. So think of someone who gathers the people to them, who owns the spotlight and captivates the heart and soul of their fans with [00:01:00] intentional content that they make, and who's so fearless about their work that they're not gonna let anyone or anything stop them from doing it.Writing doesn't happen on big stages or in big stadiums obviously, but we're gonna borrow this image because it's the vibe I want writers to cultivate, and it's the heart of writing big. My arena metaphor has a lot of origins. The most obvious one is the quote at the beginning of Brené Brown's book Daring Greatly, where she's referencing the Teddy Roosevelt quote about the man in the arena.That Roosevelt quote had to do with politics and not standing on the side and criticizing others, but stepping into the fray and being part of the mix. And what Brené Brown said was this: “If you are not in the arena getting your ass kicked on occasion, I am not interested in or open to your feedback.There are a million cheap seats in the world today filled with people who will never be brave with their own lives, [00:02:00] but will spend every ounce of energy they have hurling advice and judgment at those of us trying to dare greatly. Their only contributions are criticism, cynicism, and fear-mongering. If you're criticizing from a place where you're not also putting yourself on the line, I'm not interested in your feedback.”These are obviously powerful words, especially coming from a woman, because I think it's true that women who dare greatly get more criticism than men who do. So that's one of the influences for this metaphor. But another is the book The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker. If you haven't read this book, I highly recommend it.It's about this whole idea of gathering people, and she's talking about physically gathering them in meeting rooms and at weddings and at Thanksgiving and things like that. And her main point is that you have to be intentional about the purpose of your gathering. If you don't know why you're bringing people together and what experience you want them to have- They're [00:03:00] not gonna have an experience that's memorable or transformative.And when I read that book, I thought, “This is true for writers, too.” This is what my blueprint books are all about, being intentional about what you're doing with your writing, no matter what you're writing. You have to know why you want people to gather around your words and ideas. You have to know what you're bringing them together for.And as I began to think about Brené Brown's Daring Greatly and Priya Parker's idea of gathering, I began to think about this idea that writers are gathering people, too, and I began to think about an arena. What if you could picture your readers in an arena? And these thoughts were all going down in my mind around the time of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour.We were seeing these images of 50,000, 60,000 people in these stadiums just packed in with no seat empty, and the lights are low, and they're holding up their phones. And it [00:04:00] was obviously so moving for all the people in that audience who showed up there and experienced that and took the time and effort and energy to be there in that room or in that space.So Taylor Swift became the other thread of this idea that writers, too, are gathering people, and so you have to think about who you want to be in those seats of your arena. Who do you want to play to? Who do you want to speak to? Who do you want to create this experience for, and what do you want for them?But also, what do you want from them? I didn't go to one of the Eras Tour concerts, but I watched the six-part documentary about it and the last concert that she filmed as part of that whole endeavor, and there was such a through line about intention to what she was doing on that tour. She talks all the time about creating emotionally meaningful and immersive experiences for her audience, so she's not just [00:05:00] entertaining them.She wants them to feel something, and she's so deliberate about that. Her whole thing about secrets and surprises feeds into that, and I loved these parts of the documentary where, where she shows the behind-the-scenes work with the different guests that she would bring onto the show and how they tried to craft some sort of surprise for the audience and tried to keep it a secret, and there was just so much delight in the way that they were approaching this.Taylor Swift would always say things like, “People are gonna lose their minds.” That seems to be a catchphrase of hers, and it's what she wants. She's like, “They're gonna lose their minds, and it's gonna be so great.” And this joy in creating the experience for those people who have come and this dedication that...I think she did 149 shows on the Eras Tour, that every single one of them was going to be impactful to the people who came. Not just like, we're [00:06:00] gonna get out there and do a good show and give it our all and put our energy out there, but I wanna blow their minds. I want to make these moments of delight, and that intention is clearly what feeds Taylor Swift.She talks about that very specifically, that she loves the energy and feedback that she gets from that audience. So in the arena, you're performing or creating for the people you've gathered there, but you're also getting something back from them. You're getting this communication or this energy that reflects back to you or comes back to you, and that's obviously why performers do what they do.You would not get up on a stage 149 times in front of 60,000 people and put yourself out in that way if you didn't love that. And I think writers need to think about this, too. What are we putting out there for our fans or our readers? What do we want to get from them, and what do we want them to get from us, [00:07:00] and what is that energy exchange like?So I want you to think about the arena of your writing life. It's a place where you're gonna show up with your whole self with intention, and you're gonna do the best work that you're capable of. It's where you're gonna stop playing it safe and claim your full creative power. When someone writes with that kind of authority, they feel the satisfaction deep in their bones, the sweet reward in and of itself.It has actually nothing to do with the external rewards of the marketplace. It has to do with what you wanted to make and the fact that you went out there and made it and you called people, you gathered the people around to be part of it with you. And the paradox of this whole thing is that when you decide to step into the arena and play big, it comes across in the writing, and that leads to the exact external rewards that most writers crave.It doesn't work the [00:08:00] other way around. You can't go after those external things and feel the internal satisfaction. You have to do the work that's gonna feed that internal desire that you have and that thing that you want to make and that you want to create for yourself in order to get the things that you want from your writing.So this metaphor of creating the arena for your writing life and stepping into it in your fullest power and learning how to be the person in the spotlight is something that I want you to really think about. All of the 14 questions in my blueprint for a book process are really about this. Why are you writing a book is really why do you want to gather people to you?Why do you want to be heard and seen? And who are you writing for is who do you want to invite into that arena and put in those seats and play for? Your arena is going to be different from every other writer's arena on the planet because [00:09:00] no one is going to answer these questions the way that you are.Nobody's going to write what you are. So take this idea of daring greatly and being brave with your own life and putting yourself out there and marry it with this idea of gathering people around you with intention and designing the experience that you want them to have. And no matter what you think of Taylor Swift as a musician or a performer or a human, take from her this incredible delight in showing up and delivering something meaningful to your fans.And those things together are going to transform your writing life. There's going to be no way that you can't write big. And if you do that, there's going to be no way that you can't derive deep satisfaction from doing this work. Until next time, stop playing small and write like it matters.[00:10:00]The hashtag amwriting podcast is produced by Andrew Perilla.

In this episode, we speak with renowned-Roosevelt scholar and former host of the podcast Michael Patrick Cullinane about his new book Theodore Roosevelt and the Tennis Cabinet. We often imagine Theodore Roosevelt as a singular force who reshaped the presidency through sheer energy and will. But Cullinane offers a different perspective, showing how Roosevelt relied on a network of informal advisors—his “Tennis Cabinet”—to generate ideas, implement policy, and expand the reach of the federal government. Together, we explore how this network functioned, what it reveals about the emergence of the administrative state, and how it reshapes our understanding of executive power, both in the Progressive Era and today.You can purchase the book directly from the University of Nebraska Press here.

Host Dale Partridge launches American Grit Season 1 on American Identity and argues that defining “American” requires biblical categories of belonging drawn from Israel (native-born, sojourner, foreigner, outsider). He criticizes egalitarianism and claims heritage Americans should have priority over immigrants, contending America is a Western European Christian nation formed for its own posterity and that immigration without assimilation is invasion. He defines assimilation as adapting to language, culture, Christian values, and ultimately intermarriage over multiple generations, rejects hyphenated Americanism using a Theodore Roosevelt quote, and says Christian nationalism must include nationalism rather than Christianized multiculturalism. He argues multiculturalism creates internal conflict, discusses geography, skin color, and IQ claims, and then covers a weekly audit featuring comments on Muslim rape discussions, the need for organized Christian coalition, and a poll on church issues (Israel, feminism, immigration, race).Shop the store at https://shop.newchristianright.comPre-Order Dale's new book 19 Reasons to Repeal the 19th Amendment: https://newchristianright.com/19

Four presidents were killed while in office:• Abraham Lincoln (1865)Shot by John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theatre just days after the Civil War effectively ended. The timing alone makes it feel like history couldn't wait to pivot. • James A. Garfield (1881)Shot by Charles J. Guiteau. Garfield didn't die immediately. He lingered for weeks, and many historians believe poor medical treatment contributed to his death as much as the bullet did. • William McKinley (1901)Shot by anarchist Leon Czolgosz at the Pan-American Exposition. Another delayed death, another moment where medicine lagged behind the crisis. • John F. Kennedy (1963)Shot in Dallas by Lee Harvey Oswald. This is the one that never really settled into history. It still hums in the background of American culture like an unresolved chord. ________________________________________Presidents Who Survived Assassination AttemptsA longer list, and in some ways, a more revealing one.• Andrew Jackson (1835)The first attempted assassination of a sitting president. The attacker's guns misfired. Jackson reportedly responded by beating the man with his cane. Not exactly a Secret Service moment. • Theodore Roosevelt (1912, while campaigning)Shot in the chest, then delivered a speech anyway. The bullet was slowed by a folded speech manuscript and a glasses case in his pocket. A literal case of paperwork saving a life. • Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933, president-elect)Shot at in Miami. He wasn't hit, but Chicago mayor Anton Cermak was killed. A reminder that these events rarely stay contained. • Harry S. Truman (1950)Puerto Rican nationalists attacked Blair House, where Truman was staying. A White House police officer was killed in the firefight. • Gerald Ford (1975, twice in one month)Two separate attempts in California, both by women, both failing. Statistically bizarre, historically overlooked. • Ronald Reagan (1981)Shot by John Hinckley Jr.. Reagan survived, but the bullet came terrifyingly close to killing him. The incident reshaped modern presidential security. • Bill Clinton (1994)Shots fired at the White House by Francisco Martin Duran. Clinton wasn't harmed. • George W. Bush (2005)A grenade was thrown during a speech in Georgia (the country). It failed to detonate. One of those moments where history hinges on a mechanical malfunction.

The boys drink and review "Fried Salad," a dry-hopped oat lager from Tactical Brewing Company in Orlando, then dive into the world of national parks.They start with a little history: from Yellowstone's establishment under Ulysses S. Grant in 1872, to Theodore Roosevelt's conservation legacy, to the National Park Service itself. Then they take a tour through Maryland's 15 national park sites before turning their attention to the roughly 20 parks and monuments designated in recent years under the Biden administration.What do the new designations have in common? The guys break them down one by one — from Bears Ears and the Grand Canyon expansion to the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad site, the Harvey Milk National Historic Site, the Pullman National Historic Park, and the Emmett Till Monument — and share their take on what the trends say about how America chooses to remember itself.A wide-ranging, honest conversation about conservation, history, national identity, and whether the park system should make you feel proud — or guilty.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 82: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (3:00) SPECIAL COMMENT: Call me a cynic but I am beginning to get a sense that you may have some doubts about this Not-An-Assassination Attempt at The White House Correspondents Dinner. Well - that's what it was. Or in this case, what it wasn't. The acting attorney general says the alleged perp quote “was stopped before he got anywhere near the President.” So, NOT an assassination attempt, per the attorney general. But of course the White House is still trying to sell it as one (its 'protocol director' insists it was "the hand of God" again; its deputy chief of staff tried to start another 'USA!' chant after the incident). Even though proximity is the definition of such a nightmare scenario. Saturday Night? Obama had 15 of those. Still, among my fellow Americans who are NOT in the Trump Mass Hypnosis Cult, I may be in the minority because I DON’T think it was staged. Why are you so cynical? Just because an hour beforehand Karoline Leavitt told Fox quote “There will be some shots fired tonight!” That’s a coincidence. Just because Trump has gone insane about his quote “militarily top secret ballroom” and the next thing you know he’s GOING to a ballroom and after that the Secret Service screws up security AT the ballroom and after THAT he’s holding a press conference saying this is WHY he needs that ballroom and all his sock puppets are tweeting about the ballroom. Coincidence! Just because Trump and his filth have lied to you about every THING, every DAY, for 11 years… that’s no reason for you to think that was STAGED. It’s a coincidence! It’s all a coincidence. ALSO: for God's sake stop saying there's no room for violence in American politics and we don't resolve our differences this way! Certainly we all wish that were true. But in point of fact there's room for almost nothing BUT violence in American politics! Ask JFK, Reagan, Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Garfield, Lincoln, McKinley, dozens of others! What was the Civil War if not political violence? B-Block (28:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Staten Island cop who has reportedly amassed more than 500 speeding tickets, and last year averaged one every other day. Jeff Bezos' Washington Post will only print a letter to the editor responding to its editorial if the authors take out the references TO Jeff Bezos. And Tom Cotton makes a hilarious mistake: Iran will meet its match not on the battlefield but at the bargaining table because it's never faced the author of "Art Of The Deal." Who's gonna tell him? C-Block (41:00) MONDAYS WITH THURBER: We need a break from media people talking about themselves so let's drop "Things I Promised Not To Tell" and instead read you his wonderful, weird, slightly spooky "The Black Magic Of Barney Haller."

What does the raucous laughter of Nicki Minaj and Billy Graham have to do with 14th century saint? Find out in PART TWO of our MOST requested episodes ever -- diving deep into the question "Who is Saint Julian of Norwich???" Author of Revelations of Divine Love, coiner of the phrase "All Shall Be Well," and delighter in God's delight, St. Julian is such a powerful visionary and leader we needed two episodes to do her justice. We're joined again by the The Rev. Dr. Amy Laura Hall, one of Lizzie's professors from her time at Duke Divinity School. In part two, we explore "Christ as our true mother," the nature of the devil, and we see how Julian has echoes for us to consider in today's religious landscape. We also get a little teaser for Dr. Hall's new book, out in May 2026, called ERECTING THE PULPIT: MUSCULAR CHRISTIANITY FROM TEDDY ROOSEVELT TO DONALD TRUMP. Amy Laura Hall is Associate Professor of Christian Ethics and Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at Duke University, where she has taught since 1999.

"Men with the muckrakes are often indispensable to the well-being of society; but only if they know when to stop raking the muck, and to look upward to the celestial crown above them, to the crown of worthy endeavor." ~ Theodore Roosevelt, April 14, 1906, speech "The Man with the Muck-Rake".

SEASON 4 EPISODE 81: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (3:00) SPECIAL COMMENT: "Donald Trump Is Losing His Mind." It's the headline on a column in perhaps the most prominent MAGA magazine headline. It's not me saying it this time. Not Jimmy Kimmel. Not George Conway. Not a psychiatrist. The Washington Examiner: “Donald Trump Is Losing His Mind.” Why? Just because he’s also losing IRAN? Just because he’s COMPARING Iran to Vietnam (which he dodged)? Just because he threatened to go General Sherman on Teheran? Just because he's just announced you are no longer ALLOWED to CRITICIZE him ABOUT Iran? “Donald Trump Is Losing His Mind” writes The Washington Examiner - guess that makes it unanimous (and there is now polling on this!) ALSO: House Democrats want Kash Patel to take an alcoholism screening test. His choices amount to: a) ARE you an alcoholic? b) Are you so FULL of alcohol you’re at risk of bursting into flames, or c) are you J. Edgar Boozer. AND about the White House Correspondents Dinner Saturday. The Correspondents Association is obeying in advance to Trump, calling him an "honoree" and welcoming his rats like Brendan Carr and Stephen Miller. If you’re attending this dinner, and you are not planning to storm out or otherwise using this rare opportunity to protest Trump’s presence, you’re not only a traitor to JOURNALISM, you’re a traitor to America. B-Block (36:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Trump's "National Garden Of Heroes" with 250 statues of everybody from Elvis to Whittaker Chambers is dumb enough. What happens when they forget to order the statues? Interior Secretary Burgum wants Theodore Roosevelt in the pro football Hall of Fame even though there wasn't pro football while T.R. was alive. And new Congressman Clay Fuller says he was only joking when he said Georgia was named after George Washington. C-Block (45:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Talking about dinner in DC Saturday (The White House Correspondents) led me to mention my disastrous dates last century with Laura Ingraham on social media and there was considerable disbelief so it's time to tell that story.

We all have those days where we'd rather just not. Days where we'd rather not deal with that annoying co-worker or petty family member. Days where we'd rather not bother with all the work we have to do, all the responsibilities we have to manage. The ancients knew days like this.Reading Marcus Aurelius can change your life, but only if you know how to read his work

Episode Description:In this From the Archive episode, James talks with Cal Newport about a simple but uncomfortable idea: most people are working hard on the wrong things.Newport breaks down the difference between deep work—focused, cognitively demanding effort that produces rare and valuable output—and shallow work, which fills time but doesn't move the needle. In a world engineered to fragment attention, the ability to focus without distraction is becoming both rarer and more valuable.The conversation moves from theory to application. Newport explains why “follow your passion” is misleading, how career capital actually drives opportunity, and why deliberate practice—not repetition—is what builds real skill. The thread tying it together is practical: if you want meaningful work and success, you have to train your ability to concentrate and aggressively eliminate distractions.What makes this episode useful is that it reframes productivity entirely. It's not about working more hours or hustling harder—it's about doing fewer things, better, with full attention.What You'll Learn:Why becoming “so good they can't ignore you” is more reliable than chasing passionThe difference between deep work and shallow work—and why most people overvalue the latterHow career capital (rare and valuable skills) creates leverage for autonomy and successWhy deliberate practice—not repetition—is the fastest path to masteryHow attention residue and constant distraction quietly destroy cognitive performanceTimestamped Chapters:[02:00] The attention economy and why distraction is engineered[02:17] The “deep life” and prioritizing focus[03:01] Why success comes from rare and valuable output[04:16] Why better content beats growth hacks[05:00] “Be so good they can't ignore you” explained[05:57] Why deep work is becoming rare—and valuable[06:29] The Steve Martin story and mastery over shortcuts[08:08] Innovation only happens at the cutting edge[09:00] Why passion is often discovered, not predefined[10:00] Passion follows skill—not the other way around[11:11] Career capital: what it is and why it matters[13:00] How to build leverage in your career[14:53] Real-world example: designing a flexible life through skill[16:00] Deliberate practice vs repetition[17:34] Why discomfort is required for improvement[19:50] The cost of distraction and attention fragmentation[20:20] The “deep life” as an intentional lifestyle[21:21] Why eliminating low-value communication matters[23:25] Training focus as a skill, not a habit[25:00] Fighting your brain and attention residue[27:00] How deep work actually improves output[30:12] Balancing academic work and writing[32:00] Why audience engagement has diminishing returns[34:00] The danger of the “any benefit” mindset[36:00] Why busyness is not productivity[38:00] Limits of deep work and cognitive intensity[39:25] Embracing boredom to retrain attention[41:05] The future of knowledge work[42:20] Goals vs process: a historical perspective[44:29] Why biographies teach excellence best[45:07] Teddy Roosevelt as a deep work example[46:43] Deep work as a “superpower”[47:15] Handling disappointment through craft[48:22] Passion follows skill—final takeawayAdditional Resources:Deep WorkSo Good They Can't Ignore YouCal Newport's official websiteLittle Bets by Peter SimsThe Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund MorrisSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For nearly 2,000 years, Meditations has guided presidents, generals, and leaders, from Theodore Roosevelt to Frederick the Great to Arnold Schwarzenegger. What makes it remarkable is that it was never meant to be read. It was Marcus Aurelius' private notes to himself. In this episode, Ryan breaks down 31 of the most powerful lessons from the book and how to actually apply them to your life.Reading Marcus Aurelius can change your life, but only if you know how to read his work

Dean Karayanis steps back into the host chair to close out the week for Derek Hunter with a wide-ranging look at a world that seems to have forgotten its history. Dean breaks down the recent Senate vote on Minnesota mining, questioning why environmental groups invoke the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt while modern "colonizers" ignore the very regulations that keep America from becoming a Third World polluter. Later, Dean dives into his latest column for the New York Sun, comparing the Eric Swalwell "honeypot" scandal to the transparency of Alexander Hamilton — a man who was a "dirtbag" adulterer but not a crook. From the "rich friend" reality check for the UK and Italy to selective biblical pandering by the pope and politicians, Dean pulls no punches. Finally, the show wraps with a surprising lesson on humility and failure from an unexpected source: William Shatner. The irony of Chilean mining companies and Minnesota's shifting cultural identity. The Hamilton Model: Why admitting to an affair is better than a political cover-up. Article 5 Reality: Why Europe's "equal" status is a myth maintained by American muscle. The 2x4 Method: How the U.S. Navy is successfully choking off the Iranian economy. Shatner's Regret: What Star Trek V teaches us about taking responsibility for our own "plastic spiders."

GOP Blocks War Powers Vote Again. Will Dems Blow It? Independent's Opportunity. Stock Market Soars. More Boat Strikes. Mamdani Cancels NYC Vets Parade. Queen Latifah: UNITY. Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff sits down with journalist, author, and former CNN anchor and Daily Beast Editor John Avlon—now with The Bulwark— for a fast, insightful, and hopeful conversation about how to fix American politics—before it breaks us. From Iran and the spiraling Middle East crisis, to Trump's second term, to the Democrats' brand problem, Avlon brings his “How to Fix It” mindset to moderates, independents, veterans, and frustrated voters who are tired of the bullshit and hungry for reality-based solutions. They dig into the rise of independent voters, the weakness of the Democrat brand, the failure of both parties to provide real leadership, the dangers of performative extremism, and what Teddy Roosevelt's “man in the arena” can teach us about citizenship, courage, and showing up in 2026 and 2028. They also get personal. Avlon opens up about running for Congress on Long Island, what he learned knocking on doors as a Democrat in a purple district, and why he still believes in persuasion politics in an age of rage clicks and echo chambers. He talks about raising kids in a deeply political household, the strain and purpose of public service, and how patriots can reclaim words like “freedom” and “democracy” from the extremes. If you're an independent, a disillusioned Democrat or Republican, or just someone trying to stay informed without losing your mind, this episode will give you information, inspiration, and impact—and help you stay vigilant. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

After the French project to build a canal through Panama collapses in 1889 amidst disease and financial scandal, US President Teddy Roosevelt resolves to pick up where they left off. However, powerful interests in Washington are aggressively lobbying for a different route – not through Panama, but Nicaragua. As debate rages and backdoor deals are made, Panama becomes a lightning rod for controversy…and revolution.    SOURCES: Burton, Anthony.
