How do you hold a country together when it's tearing itself apart? In this episode, Ryan sits down with Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin to talk about Abraham Lincoln's self-education, his emotional discipline, and how he managed anger, ego, and public pressure without losing himself.Doris Kearns Goodwin is a Pulitzer Prize–winning presidential historian and bestselling author. Her latest #1 New York Times bestseller, An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s, is being adapted into a feature film, while her earlier works, Team of Rivals, The Bully Pulpit, and No Ordinary Time, have won some of the nation's highest literary honors and inspired leaders worldwide. She has served as a White House Fellow to President Lyndon Johnson, produced acclaimed docuseries for the HISTORY Channel, and earned countless awards for her contributions to history and leadership.Doris has a new book out called The Leadership Journey: How Four Kids Became Presidents in which she shares the different childhood experiences of Abraham Lincoln. Theodore Roosevelt. Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Lyndon B. Johnson, and how they each found their way to the presidency.
On today's page, Menachot 45, we hear the spectacular story of Hananiah ben Hezekiah, the man who saved the Book of Ezekiel from being removed from the biblical canon. Hananiah famously holed himself up in an attic with 300 barrels of oil for illumination until he mastered the text. Guest Dr. Tevi Troy joins us to discuss this kind of scholarly obsession, drawing parallels to American presidents like Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt, who went to extreme lengths to satisfy their own hunger for books. What does it mean to love a text so much that you'd risk everything to understand it? Listen and find out.

You Can't Have ICE Without Water. That story and more on H2O Radio's weekly news report. Headlines: A plan by ICE to warehouse people doesn't hold water. Theodore Roosevelt would roll over in his grave if he knew of a new Trump administration plan. Lake Powell on the Colorado River could fall so low later this year it wouldn't be able to generate hydropower. Three athletes were disqualified at the winter Olympics—not for doping but for using a compound harmful to the environment.
From acclaimed historian and author of the “marvelous” (The New York Times Book Review) The Last American Aristocrat comes a captivating new biography of Teddy Roosevelt, exploring the life of America's 26th president and his pivotal role in shaping the dawn of the American Century.Theodore Roosevelt was one of America's most fascinating presidents—a complex man both publicly and privately. In this sweeping biography, historian David S. Brown takes us on an electrifying journey through Theodore Roosevelt's life—from his privileged New York upbringing to his transformative presidency that reshaped America's role on the global stage.In the Arena vividly brings Roosevelt to life as a man of striking contradictions: a rugged outdoorsman with a love for books, a war hero who earned a Nobel Peace Prize, and a larger-than-life figure whose energy seemed boundless. Through compelling storytelling and meticulous research, Brown explores the pivotal moments that forged Roosevelt's indomitable spirit, from battling childhood asthma to witnessing the deaths of both his mother and his wife on the same day, to wrangling cattle in the West and preserving 150 million acres of national land.Challenging traditional views, In the Arena offers a fresh perspective on Roosevelt's groundbreaking political legacy, including his Square Deal policies that laid the groundwork for modern social welfare programs. It also unpacks his bold foreign policy, which expanded America's global influence and set the stage for its rise as a world power. Brown argues that Roosevelt's charisma and performative presidency helped bridge the old Victorian values with the new industrial age, capturing the attention of the middle-class and making him a leader that the people loved.Drawing comparisons to works like David McCullough's Mornings on Horseback, Brown's narrative stands out for its rich detail and sharp insights. More than just an account of a presidency—it's an exploration of a life lived on the edge of greatness and is a must-read for anyone who wants to better understand this critical period of American history.ABOUT THE AUTHORDavid S. Brown teaches history at Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania. He is the author of eight books, including In the Arena: Theodore Roosevelt in War, Peace, and Revolution; A Hell of a Storm: The Battle for Kansas, the End of Compromise, and the Coming of the Civil War; The First Populist: The Defiant Life of Andrew Jackson; The Last American Aristocrat: The Brilliant Life and Improbable Education of Henry Adams; and biographies of F.

This episode centers on a conversation with sociologists Dr. Nicholas Wolfinger and Dr. Matthew McKeever about their book “Thanks for Nothing: The Economics of Single Motherhood since 1980” and what it reveals about poverty, race, and U.S. policy. The hosts discuss the core puzzle: even after four decades of gains in women's education and employment, single-mother families are still about five times more likely to be poor than two-parent families, just as they were in 1980. The guests revisit the 1965 Moynihan Report on the “Negro Family,” how it got tangled up with Oscar Lewis's “culture of poverty” thesis, and how both were weaponized in the culture wars. Wolfinger and McKeever stress that Moynihan's actual policy prescriptions were economic—jobs programs and large-scale public investment in Black communities—not moral lectures, but that critics (and later conservatives) recast his work as an attack on Black family culture. They trace a longer state preoccupation with “the family,” from Civil War–era pensions for Union widows and anxieties over divorce in Teddy Roosevelt's day to the backlash against desegregation and the way Brown v. Board rerouted structural segregation into school fights rather than housing policy. The conversation then turns to single motherhood as an economic condition rather than a moral category. The guests emphasize a simple but often ignored fact: one-earner families have fewer resources than two-earner families, and the majority of people in single-parent families are children. They dismantle the “deserving vs. undeserving poor” narrative that paints single mothers as irresponsible, sexually reckless, or “choosing” poverty, arguing instead that policy has systematically stripped support from families at the bottom while rewarding a subset of working poor through mechanisms like the Earned Income Tax Credit. Programs such as the EITC, they note, do get cash to low-income workers, but they also deepen inequality within the population of single mothers by boosting those who can maintain steady employment while leaving the least advantaged further behind. A recurring theme is the “fundamental attribution error”: the human tendency to attribute hardship to bad character instead of bad circumstances. The hosts use this to frame how conservative pundits like Ann Coulter talk about single mothers—blaming “promiscuity” and “choices” rather than the collapse of secure jobs, stagnant wages, and the cost of housing and childcare. Wolfinger and McKeever acknowledge that culture, neighborhood effects, and even heritable personality traits can play some role in intergenerational disadvantages, but they insist that the levers governments can actually pull are economic: wages, unions, transfers, and public goods like childcare and schooling. Nicholas H. Wolfinger is a professor of sociology at the University of Utah, specializing in family demography, marriage and divorce, and social inequality. Matthew McKeever is Professor of Sociology and Department Chair at Haverford. Prior to that, he was at Mount Holyoke College, Rice University, University of Houston, University of Kentucky, and Yale University.

America spent most of the 19th century at war with itself. It conquered its western expanse then collapsed into civil war. Once the North beat the South, partisan politics consumed the country for a generation. A string of assassinations, progressive firebrands, and civil service reforms burned people out on domestic politics and a bored and febrile nation began to search for meaning beyond its borders. It noticed the Spanish Empire was awfully close.In Splendid Liberators, award winning journalist Joe Jackson chronicles the beginning of the American myth of the “good war.” He's on the show today to talk to us about Teddy Roosevelt, Mark Twain, and a general who lay in state at the Alamo.Recurring patterns in American historyRoscoe Conkling jumpscareRemnants of the Spanish-American War in South CarolinaWhat did liberty mean in the 19th century?Clara Barton, Leonard Wood and the dual American personalityThe first modern concentration campsThe Battleship of MaineWhen Congress used to fight, physicallyDrones won't win a warThe US in the Philippines‘The water cure'American historians facing reality in the PhilippinesTeddy, finallyLaying in state at the AlamoBuy Splendid LiberatorsA Defense of General FunstonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/warcollege.

Darren Clarke has caught 19 permit on a fly—a feat arguably more impressive than winning The Open Championship. Sitting down with Tom Coyne in the Bahamas at his home in The Abaco Club, Clarke happily explains his dual obsessions. He's not just a boisterous Irishman you'd like to meet at a pub, he remains driven by catching the world's most difficult fish and beating the world's best golfers. Clarke opens up about raising his boys after losing their mother and reflects on the miracle of bringing The Open to Royal Portrush following his upbringing during The Troubles. He also breaks down what went wrong at the Ryder Cup at Bethpage and offers a simple solution for Hazeltine. Along the way: the Theodore Roosevelt quote that's driven him for 37 years, the difference between European sarcasm and American heckling, and the joys of living in paradise.

Vital Mindset & Discipline PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCASTSpirituality Is Foundational to Mental Health and ResilienceThe episode argues that spirituality—defined as a belief in something bigger than oneself—is not merely philosophical but scientifically supported as a fundamental resource for promoting mental health. Peer-reviewed data cited in the podcast link spirituality and religion to improved emotional resilience, inner serenity, compassion, and psychological well-being.Religion and Spirituality Have Measurable Neurobiological and Social EffectsEngaging in spiritual or religious practices activates brain regions involved in emotional regulation and social perception. Research discussed suggests these practices strengthen social bonds, enhance compassion, reduce stress, and may improve immunity, cardiovascular outcomes, and overall longevity.Spiritual Well-Being Can Be Measured and StrengthenedA nine-question NIH survey (Experience of All Life Stressors Short Form) is presented as a concise tool to assess spiritual well-being, including purpose, peace, gratitude, compassion, presence, and connection to a higher power. The key message: we cannot eliminate suffering, but we can train ourselves to respond to it better by strengthening these dimensions.Forgiveness and Purpose Are Powerful Biological ToolsForgiveness is framed not just as a moral virtue but as a physiological stress-reduction strategy. Research on the REACH method shows forgiveness reduces anxiety and depression. Similarly, a strong sense of purpose is associated with increased longevity. Both are actionable ways to deepen spiritual vitality.Awareness of Mortality Clarifies Meaning and ActionThrough the “shovel next to the grave” reflection, the episode emphasizes that recognizing life's fragility sharpens focus on purpose, service, and compassion. Rather than being morbid, contemplating mortality helps individuals live more intentionally—working hard at work worth doing, as quoted from Teddy Roosevelt.Copyright VyVerse, LLC.

American Legion's National Headquarters in Indianapolis, IndianaThe American Legion formed in 1919. Thousands of Dough Boys were stranded in Europe after the Armistice was signed on November 11, 1918. The solders became demoralized and homesick. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. son of former President Theodore Roosevelt, concerned about their welfare, proposed that a national organization of former service men to look after the soldiers post war needs. His proposal was accepted and the organization received its charter on September 16, 1919. The organization chose to put their national headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana. The cornerstone of their headquarters was laid in 1925. The headquarters includes their main office, a series of war memorials and the massive Indiana War Memorial Museum.

Clay welcomes author Matthew Davis to talk about his new book, Biography of a Mountain: The Making and Meaning of Mount Rushmore. How did it happen that a mountain in the heart of the Black Hills of South Dakota, in land sovereign to the Lakota Indians, came to be the canvas on which Gutzon Borglum carved four monumental figures in American history: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt? Should it matter to us that Borglum was a member of the KKK? Why are there no women, no African Americans, no Native Americans carved up there? What is the future of Mount Rushmore, and who, by the way, was this obscure New York lawyer, Charles E. Rushmore, who visited the region in 1885? We give considerable attention to Gerard Baker, the Hidatsa Native who served as superintendent at Mount Rushmore from 2004 to 2010 and revolutionized how we interpret the site. This episode was recorded on November 24, 2025.
Theodore Roosevelt famously said,“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”But how?

We recently returned to Pinnacles National Park, a place we hadn't visited since our first trip in 2013. Situated about 75 minutes south of Monterey, California, Pinnacles is known for its dramatic volcanic rock formations, remnants of a once 8,000-foot volcano. When we first visited, Pinnacles had just become a national park, and we stopped there as part of our journey to visit all the U.S. national parks. This time, we had a different reason to return. Karen wanted to explore one of the park's talus caves. In this episode, we discuss our visit to the park, where we hiked into the lower portion of Bear Gulch Cave, then to Bear Gulch Reservoir, and finally into the high peaks. We also dive into the park's fascinating geology, its history as a national monument established by Theodore Roosevelt, and the role of the Civilian Conservation Corps in building many of the trails and structures still used today. And of course, no visit to Pinnacles would be complete without talking about California condors. Pinnacles is the only national park that actively manages a condor release site, and we explain how these remarkable birds were brought back from the brink of extinction. If you're planning a visit to Pinnacles, this episode is for you, as we also share practical tips to help you make the most of your time in the park. ----- Follow this link to join us on Patreon.

In this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck unpacks what may be the most brazen presidential corruption scandal in modern history—Donald Trump allegedly selling U.S. foreign policy to the UAE for personal gain—barely registered in the public conversation, drowned out by louder, more sensational distractions. The discussion explores why Trump’s election-interference rhetoric breaks through while substantive corruption stories vanish, how media incentives favor spectacle over consequence, and why Trump responds selectively to political, market, and institutional pressure. Chuck argues that while some democratic guardrails still hold, the deeper danger isn’t a dramatic coup but the slow erosion of norms—one where kleptocracy becomes normalized, foreign policy is treated as a personal asset, and Congress, not voters, remains the only institution capable of stopping it before the damage becomes irreversible. Then, Historian David S. Brown joins Chuck to unpack why Theodore Roosevelt remains a gravitational force for understanding American power—and why his era echoes so loudly today. Drawing from his book In the Arena, Brown explores what pulled him to Roosevelt, how TR reshaped the presidency, and the surprising parallels (and sharp limits) between Roosevelt and Donald Trump. From narcissism and disruption to populism, primaries, and the rise of the imperial presidency, the conversation digs into how Roosevelt’s wealth, ambition, and genuine concern for the working class produced a uniquely transactional style of politics at home and abroad. The episode also zooms out to ask what Roosevelt might make of modern challenges like AI, extreme wealth concentration, and great-power competition—and whether he’d thrive or flounder in the television age. Brown traces Roosevelt’s foreign policy legacy in Latin America, the roots of American global policing, and how early 20th-century realignments mirror today’s fractured coalitions. The discussion closes with a hard look at the political center, the future of the Trump coalition, under-studied presidents, and how Americans should think about their country as it approaches its 250th anniversary. Finally, Chuck gives his ToddCast Top 5 states Democrats need to target prior to 2032, when census reapportionment will greatly change the electoral college math needed to win the presidency and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Historian David S. Brown joins the Chuck ToddCast to unpack why Theodore Roosevelt remains a gravitational force for understanding American power—and why his era echoes so loudly today. Drawing from his book In the Arena, Brown explores what pulled him to Roosevelt, how TR reshaped the presidency, and the surprising parallels (and sharp limits) between Roosevelt and Donald Trump. From narcissism and disruption to populism, primaries, and the rise of the imperial presidency, the conversation digs into how Roosevelt’s wealth, ambition, and genuine concern for the working class produced a uniquely transactional style of politics at home and abroad. The episode also zooms out to ask what Roosevelt might make of modern challenges like AI, extreme wealth concentration, and great-power competition—and whether he’d thrive or flounder in the television age. Brown traces Roosevelt’s foreign policy legacy in Latin America, the roots of American global policing, and how early 20th-century realignments mirror today’s fractured coalitions. The discussion closes with a hard look at the political center, the future of the Trump coalition, under-studied presidents, and how Americans should think about their country as it approaches its 250th anniversary.

For a few months in 1898, the United States was at war with Spain. This essentially marked the end of the Spanish Empire and the beginning of the U.S. as a world power. As a result of this brief war, Theodore Roosevelt became president, Cuba became an independent country, Puerto Rico and Guam became American territories, and the U.S. occupied the Philippines for 48 years. That occupation led to the much longer Philippine-American War (1899-1902).
Send us a textWe continue on with our Criterion Collection theme: this time it's spine number 1156; "Arsenic and Old Lace," a 1944 screwball comedy classic, directed by Frank Capra and starring Carey Grant, Priscilla Lane, Raymond Massey and Peter Lorre. Based on a stage play of the same name, this is the story of a dysfunctional, and mildly insane, family who literally have bodies buried in their basement.We also dive into what "screwball comedies" are exactly, how they came to be, and why they probably don't resonate much with modern audiences. There is definitely one among our party that does not care for them, and that always makes for a lively discussion.But. . . if you like the idea of murderous little old ladies, Teddy Roosevelt, and Boris Karloff lookalikes, then this may be the film for you!

"What struck you most about Roosevelt?" The question hangs in the air as we return to last week's episode. The spectacles, the gymnasium, the Badlands, the Bull Moose - each moment revealing layers we're still unpacking.Roosevelt's life demands conversation - about privilege and responsibility, grief and reinvention, the price of the strenuous life, and whether we're equal to the standard he set.Join us as we unpack our teaching on America's youngest president. We wrestle with the boy who built himself strong, debate the widower's flight to Dakota, examine the politician-turned-warrior, and confront the complex legacy of his presidency. From his second-floor gymnasium to his final days at Sagamore Hill, we ask the questions his life forces us to answer: What do we do with privilege? What does strength actually serve? This isn't recap. It's reckoning with what Roosevelt's life demands from ours.

Life creates many in-between moments. Sometimes those moments look like: staring at broken drywall and hanging lights in a thousand-square-foot former law office, wondering if you just made the biggest mistake of your life. In this inspiring episode of The Space In-Between, I sit down with my neighbor, gym owner, and fellow Teddy Roosevelt admirer, Graham Wilkerson, founder of Genesis Sports Performance and Athlete Lead Engine.Graham's story isn't just about building a successful fitness business—it's about grit, sacrifice, and the deep personal belief it takes to create something meaningful when the outcome is completely uncertain. From emptying his bank account as a 23-year-old history major with zero industry experience, to working 60-hour weeks while watching his friends get married and go on vacations, Graham shares the raw reality of entrepreneurship that most people don't talk about.We dive into the moment his now-wife Shelby paid for his St. Bernard's emergency surgery because he couldn't afford it—and how that became the wake-up call that changed everything. Graham opens up about nearly quitting, partnering with his former competitor Dale Speckman, surviving COVID, and how the Teddy Roosevelt quote "Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, and difficulty" became so foundational to his journey that he had it tattooed on his chest.Whether you're building a business, navigating a career transition, or simply trying to find your footing during an uncertain season, this conversation offers powerful insights on staying the course when the future feels impossible to see.To accompany today's episode, Graham and I are extending a members-only promotion as a thank you to the current members of Genesis Gym.

What if the way we trade, recruit, and credential is quietly draining the chances our kids need to build a life? We open with gratitude and prayer, then tackle a hard question about stewardship: how do we protect national capacity without closing the door to healthy exchange? From a proposed tariff on chips used for export to the flood of foreign athletic and academic scholarships, we trace how institutions can unintentionally export value while importing applause. The thesis is simple and challenging—opportunity is a national trust, and standards are an act of love.We push back on the claim that Americans won't do tough jobs and examine how welfare design, training gaps, and licensing choices shape behavior. Trucking becomes a real-world example: a dignified path for veterans wrestling with reintegration and young men seeking stability. The solution isn't scorn; it's rebuilding pathways, setting clear expectations, and aligning incentives so effort is rewarded. When the bar is raised with support, people rise. When it's dropped in the name of compassion, potential collapses under low aims.Faith and history anchor the argument. 1 Corinthians 7 reframes marriage as mutual duty and prayerful unity, showing how private order fuels public strength. Readings from Matthew, the Psalms, and Proverbs call for courage, integrity, and fruit that matches our claims. We remember Medal of Honor recipient Abram B. Brandt, honoring sacrifice that built the freedoms we enjoy. And we revisit Theodore Roosevelt's warning against hyphenated loyalties and Calvin Coolidge's reminder that our civic fabric rests on biblical teaching broadly shared. One flag, one standard, one future: that's the path to a nation where kids, veterans, and families find real work, strong homes, and a shared creed.If this resonated, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review.

Streets stained with blood in Iran, an internet blackout, and a regime silencing dissent—these scenes force a harder question: what kind of ideas build liberty, and which ones destroy it? We connect current events to first principles, tracing how beliefs shape cultures, policies, and the everyday freedoms most of us take for granted.We share reports of mass casualties and censorship, then examine the claim that liberty cannot survive without a moral core rooted in something higher than the state. Along the way, we highlight a Brooklyn sermon that calls for fighting U.S. institutions and ask how societies should respond when rhetoric openly rejects the civic order. From there, we step into Scripture: 1 Peter 3 reframes marriage around inner character and mutual honor, while the parable of the vineyard workers humbles pride and reminds us that grace, not seniority, opens the gate to eternal life. A brief Medal of Honor spotlight on Felix Branigan anchors virtue in real sacrifice amid the chaos of the Civil War.We close by revisiting Theodore Roosevelt's sharp warning against hyphenated Americanism. Allegiance, not ancestry, makes a people. That insight feels urgent today, as identity labels multiply and loyalties splinter. The invitation is simple: recover a shared American identity tied to the founding principles of justice, service, and Christ-centered virtue. If we want a nation worthy of our children, we need homes shaped by grace, leaders bounded by humility, and citizens committed to the common good.If this conversation moves you, follow the show, leave a review, and share it with a friend.

"You must make your body." An asthmatic boy in wire-rimmed spectacles nods. Decades later, shot in the chest, he'll deliver a 90-minute speech: "It takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose."Theodore Roosevelt is often reduced to caricature - the Rough Rider, the big game hunter, the face on Mount Rushmore. But this oversimplified image misses the man who transformed personal weakness into national strength.Join us as we explore the strenuous life of America's youngest president. We witness the sickly child who willed himself strong, the grieving widower who fled to the Dakota Badlands, the politician who charged up San Juan Hill, and the president who shattered monopolies, protected 230 million acres of wilderness, and built a canal while Congress debated. From a second-floor gymnasium to the White House, Roosevelt proved that privilege demanded action, that strength meant nothing without service, and that the worst sin was wasting your life in comfortable mediocrity.
Comenzamos este año 2026 compartiendo la misma perplejidad y sorpresa frente a lo que sucede en América y el mundo. Hoy analizaremos la nueva visión de Donald Trump, quien ha transformado la Doctrina Monroe en una herramienta de dominio absoluto —muy distinta a su sentido original—, y cómo la llamada "extracción" de Nicolás Maduro sitúa a Venezuela bajo una figura similar a los protectorados de inicios del siglo XX, donde la soberanía se desdibuja frente a las potencias. Además, explicaremos por qué sus aspiraciones sobre Groenlandia no son un capricho inmobiliario, sino la pieza final de una ambición que busca redibujar el mapa del poder en pleno 2026, conectando los hilos entre el pasado imperial y un presente que parece sacado de una pesadilla geopolítica. Finalmente hacemos un llamado a que rescatemos la posibilidad de los acuerdos y a una geopolítica multilateral que no se base en la "ley del más fuerte".

DOING LIFE: Daily Devotions For Finding Peace in Stressful Times
"Nobody Cares how much you know until they know how much you care." (Teddy Roosevelt)
Sam Graham-Felsen was not a tough child. He feared violence and didn't feel that he could stand up for himself when he was bullied. His fear ate away at his confidence; he was afraid to go on dates, afraid to try hard in school. As an adult, he thought he had moved past those fears. But then he started to notice some of those same tendencies in his young son. Sam wanted to change that, so he took his son on a cross-country road trip to Badlands National Park, in search of what Theodore Roosevelt called “the strenuous life.” Along the way, he found himself wrestling with what it means to be a good man, and to raise a good man.This week on “Modern Love,” Sam explains what happened, and how his son changed his own ideas about what it means to be tough.You can read Sam's original story in The New York Times Magazine.“Modern Love” wants to hear from you.

President Theodore Roosevelt called the first Governor's Conference in 1908. Roosevelt was concerned about the state of the environment and invited all the governors to the White House to discuss conservation. The governors found the gathering so useful that they went on to establish the National Governors Association. The organization is made up of the governors of all states and territories.

In this essential episode of Unleashing Intuition Secrets, Michael Jaco sits down with Sheila Holm for a powerful and revealing conversation that connects past conflicts with present-day global events. What begins as a discussion about Cuba quickly expands into a much larger examination of history, power, and the forces shaping today's geopolitical landscape. Sheila breaks down the historical roots of Cuba's strategic importance, tracing key developments back to the Spanish-American War and forward through decades of influence affecting Mexico, Venezuela, and the broader Western Hemisphere. The conversation explores how long-standing policies, misinformation, and unresolved power struggles continue to echo into modern politics — and why recent signals surrounding Cuba deserve serious attention. Together, Michael and Sheila examine the roles played by pivotal figures such as Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, the strategic importance of the Panama Canal, and the lasting impact of the Rough Riders. They also challenge commonly accepted narratives, revealing how history is often reshaped to obscure deeper strategic motives. The discussion expands into modern geopolitical maneuvering, the restructuring taking place across global power centers, and the leadership challenges that come with confronting entrenched systems. Sheila reflects on the idea of “the man in the arena” — the reality faced by those who step forward to lead, take responsibility, and endure criticism for the sake of the greater good. This episode delivers historical context, geopolitical insight, and a deeper understanding of how past decisions continue to shape today's world. It's an important listen for anyone seeking clarity on where we are — and where things may be headed next.

For over 200 years, American presidents have repeatedly justified intervention as 'protection' - from the Monroe Doctrine of the 1820s, Teddy Roosevelt at the turn of the 20th century, to Richard Nixon and George H.W. Bush during the Cold War. America has a long history of using formal, informal, military and economic power to influence and exert control in its neighbouring countries and beyond. Dan is joined by Professor Daniel Immerwahr, historian and author of How to Hide an Empire: The Greater United States, to explore the ways in which America has exerted control and shaped the political landscape in the western hemisphere for two centuries. They examine the parallels with historic interventions like the 1954 coup in Guatemala and the 1989 invasion of Panama.

We're talking about the 405 Winchester today, which is President Theodore Roosevelt's legendary medicine gun for lions. To this day, that statement remains one of the most effective presidential endorsements of any product ever. We will discuss more details of how that cartridge performed for Theodore Roosevelt in Africa, plus I'll also cover the history and performance specs of the cartridge, it's strengths and limitations, some other hunting stories involving it, and some recommendations on the best use cases for the round. Sponsor: Get in touch with me to make your Africa hunting dreams come true on a hunt in South Africa. We offer outstanding hunting safaris, simplified hunt logistics, assistance with many of the pain points associated with a hunt, and up front pricing with no extra fees. We just opened bookings for 2027 and still have a few spots remaining for May, October, and November 2026. Visit bestsafarihunt.com or email me at john@thebiggamehuntingblog.com to learn more.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, we bring you the best of Mark Levin on New Years Day. President Trump announces that the U.S. America has launched “Operation Hawkeye Strike” in Syria after ISIS ambushed and killed two of our soldiers and an interpreter. Trump promised overwhelming retaliation—and he's delivering—sending jets, helicopters, and artillery to wipe out ISIS fighters and their infrastructure. This is real leadership: when you kill Americans, you pay the price. Later, America was founded by Christians—all delegates at the Constitutional Convention and Second Continental Congress were Christian—and Christianity is a tolerant, and humane faith enabling religious minorities to live freely. The Declaration of Independence's references to God stem from Judeo-Christian values, with Christianity heavily influenced by Judaism, as recognized by the founders; modern efforts, like those by Tucker Carlson, to separate the two are a new attack on both Jews and Christians, repudiated as blasphemy by pastors. Americanism is fundamentally incompatible with Islamism. There's an alliance between leftists and Islamists driven by a shared goal of destroying the West, America, its Constitution, and republican system. Afterward, America owes its greatness to the Republican Party, which ended slavery and passed civil rights acts that Democrats wrongly claim credit for, rooted in foundational principles called constitutional conservatism. Without it, the nation would be an awful, dark, lawless place. The party fights to secure borders, promote assimilation, teach true history (good, bad, and ugly), and elect conservatives who embrace national ideals, leading to better quality of life in free states compared to dying blue ones. However, internal threats like Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and Steve Bannon seek to destroy the Republican Party—not just its establishment—and its Judeo-Christian foundations, abandoning the legacy of Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Coolidge, Eisenhower, Reagan, and Trump, without specifying a replacement. In addition, U.S. Attorney's office in Minnesota has announced new indictments in the Somali community revealing industrial-scale fraud in the state's Medicaid programs, with half or more of the roughly $18 billion paid out since 2018 potentially fraudulent across at least 14 high-risk services. The fraud outpaces other states, risking essential services and ripping off taxpayers. Why isn't there any outrage from Democrats like Rep Ilhan Omar? Also, Inflation is decreasing significantly, and the U.S. economy is poised for improvement despite possible short-term dips, ultimately leading to growth. President Trump has implemented extensive pro-growth measures across sectors such as natural resources, food, commercial fisheries, and farming, including removing Biden-era regulations, and enacting massive tax and regulatory cuts reminiscent of Reagan's. Finally, we have a growing terrorist threat in Europe stemming from the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, which has been exported through operational networks involving Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. These Islamists are already in the U.S. waiting and plotting. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Trump promised overwhelming retaliation—and he's delivering—sending jets, helicopters, and artillery to wipe out ISIS fighters and their infrastructure. This is real leadership: when you kill Americans, you pay the price. Also, Ukraine drones blew up a Russian oil tanker. For all the talk of Ukraine losing this war, they are putting up a fight. Ukraine is on the offense!
