"An American History"

Attorney General Keith Ellison and Secretary of State Steve Simon are three months into their new four-year terms and they're already busy.   Just yesterday, Ellison asked Gov. Walz to allow him to take over the prosecution of a Hennepin County criminal case and the governor agreed. It's a decision the Hennepin County attorney called deeply troubling. MPR News host Mike Mulcahy talks to Ellison about the Hennepin County criminal case, a proposed Sanford-Fairview health care merger, the state's lawsuit against Juul Labs and the work of his office's criminal division.   And Simon has been working with the Legislature on changes to election laws, including automatic voter registration, pre-registering 16 and 17-year-olds and allowing more early voting. He joins the program to explain what the purposed election legislation would do and why he thinks it's needed.   Later in the hour, presidential historian Timothy Naftali talks about the criminal charges filed against former President Donald Trump and how the situation compares to past presidents and former presidents.   Guests:   Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison   Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon   Timothy Naftali is a presidential historian and founding director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum and associate professor of history and public policy at New York University.

In this episode we examine the Legacy of Watergate. It was the one question everyone was asked by historian Timothy Naftali and the answers were fascinating.  This is a study of what each person thought the lesson of Watergate is for history. The one that caught the most interest from me was that of Bernard Nussbaum, who was the second in command on the staff of the House Judiciary Committee. He calls the Special Prosecutor's Office " a dangerous, dangerous office."He runs through all the ways this office can be abused and how President Nixon and his friend President Bill Clinton should never have allowed the office to have been created in either of their cases. While Nussbaum pays token defenses of the Watergate Special Prosecutor's Office it is clear that he holds the institution in fairly low regard and in every point he makes we are in agreement. His warning is one every President and leader needs to heed. There is no reason the office should ever exist again, in my opinion.  Former Senator Trent Lott also makes a valid point too about what happens when a person gets in trouble and how the price they pay can be very different depending on which political party they are a member of when it happens. Here is the Legacy of Watergate, including my opinion, which is  its unfairness to President Nixon and the battles over the war in Vietnam planted the seeds of the  disfunction in politics we see today Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

In day eight of the January 6th hearing, the committee made the case that President Trump's refusal to intervene in the Capitol Riot was a “dereliction of his duty”. Many also say evidence shows that Trump wanted to threaten constitutional order — that he was “Executive Producer” of the insurrection. He called rioters to Washington by using war rhetoric to get them to attack the Capitol while he sat back to watch and enjoy it. But the committee seems to have put together a wise strategy of using witnesses who are primarily life-long republicans.  Not only are they appalled by Trump's actions,  they are brave enough to speak the truth — risking their lives, their family, safety, and livelihood. Is it time for us to re-examine what we expect from our elected officials? Years from now, how will history look back at this moment in time?  Our panel of experts are here to break down the latest details. Guests: Jennifer Mercieca Professor of Communication at Texas A&M University Author of “Demagogue for President: The Rhetorical Genius of Donald Trump” Mike Purdy Presidential Historian Author of  “Presidential Friendships: How They Changed History”. Timothy Naftali  Clinical Associate Professor of History and Public Service at NYU Town Square with Ernie Manouse is a gathering space for the community to come together and discuss the day's most important and pressing issues.

This week, new information about President Trump’s interactions with foreign governments have rattled Washington, D.C.  While the White House works on beating back the impeachment inquiry, members of Congress are home in their districts checking in with constituents. This task might prove difficult for those representing districts that have supported the president in the past, like Democratic Congresswoman Elaine Luria from Virginia. Representative Luria joined Politics with Amy Walter to discuss why she decided to support the impeachment inquiry and the response she's received from constituents in a district that voted for Donald Trump in 2016.  DC-based reporters Yamiche Alcindor of PBS and MSNBC and Rachael Bade of The Washington Post contextualize the ongoing impeachment proceedings. Tim Alberta from Politico chronicles the transformation of the Republican Party and historian Timothy Naftali demonstrates the role of bipartisanship during past impeachments.  Amy's Final Take This week, we also got our first polls taken since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the House was starting a formal impeachment inquiry. Here’s what they show: Even as support for impeachment has grown, opinions about how the president is doing his job are virtually unchanged. In other words, as we’ve seen over the last 2 plus years, voters are pretty locked into how they feel about this president and there’s nothing that has been able to alter that.  This is different from what we saw back during the Nixon impeachment. Back then, as support for impeachment rose, Nixon’s approval rating dropped. While support for impeaching Trump is basically at the same point it was with Nixon in 1974, Trump’s job approval rating is 41 percent Nixon’s was just 25 percent.  It is a testament to just how much more polarized the electorate is today than it was 45 years ago. And, a reminder that even as more and more information about Trump’s interactions with Ukraine are revealed — much of it is getting to Americans through partisan, biased filters like social media and cable news - making it harder and harder for any sort of ‘consensus’ to be found either among members of Congress - or the electorate.  And, we end up where we’ve been all along. A divided country, more deeply and firmly entrenched than ever. And, those who aren’t as politically engaged or aligned, struggling to make sense of it all. Opening music: I Think Like Midnight

Bob and Ben speak with Jeffrey Engel about the history of Presidential impeachment and how understanding the past can inform the debates surrounding the impeachment of current and future Presidents. Jeff explains the reasons the delegates to the Philadelphia Convention in 1787 chose to enshrine impeachment in the Constitution, how the process works, and what they meant by “other high Crimes and Misdemeanors” (it turns out that last part isn't as vague as you might think). He also talks about the reasons for the impeachments of Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, why Richard Nixon was so close to being removed from office when he resigned on August 9, 1974, and why Nixon and Clinton's decisions in the face of impeachment might have a lasting effect on American politics today. Jeff's new book Impeachment: An American History, which he co-authored w/ Peter Baker, Jon Meacham, and Timothy Naftali is out from Modern Library on October 16, 2018. Dr. Jeffrey A. Engel is an award-winning American history scholar and director of the Center for Presidential History at Southern Methodist University. He is an expert on the U.S. presidency and American diplomatic history. You can follow him on twitter at @JeffreyAEngel. This episode was recorded on October 9, 2018 and was edited by Gary Fletcher.

TAH.org's 3 FEB 18 Saturday Webinar looked deeply into the Cuban Missile Crisis, the '13 days' during which the world seemed to teeter on the bring of nuclear war. How did this crisis come into being? How was evidence of the missiles discovered, and verified? What was the nature of the crisis - that is, were there people within JFK's inner circle who saw it differently than it is typically portrayed? How did the upcoming midterm elections factor into decision-making and internal analysis by Kennedy and his people? How did JFK's experience from the Bay of Pigs impact his view on Cuba? And what impact did the crisis have on Castro's control over Cuba? Our panelists dug into these questions and others, working with a live audience of over 100 teachers from across the country. The following books were recommended for additional reading: "One Hell of a Gamble," Aleksandr Fursenko and Timothy Naftali We Now Know, John Lewis Gaddis Access the full archive page here Register for future episodes iTunes Podcast Podcast RSS The post Saturday Webinar: The Cuban Missile Crisis appeared first on Teaching American History.

The first year of President Donald J. Trump's administration has been unlike that of any other American president. Trump's prolific use of Twitter, willingness to reevaluate long-held policies and alliances, and populist nationalism have made a significant impact on his presidency and his party. Meanwhile, the administration's efforts in the coming year to contain the threat posed by North Korea, deal with a resurgent Russia, and broker peace in the Middle East will help shape its ultimate legacy. How will the first year of the Trump presidency be judged by historians in years to come? Is the American presidency as an institution being changed in ways that will have an impact on future officeholders and the country as a whole? Featuring: David Axelrod, Institute Director, The University of Chicago Institute of Politics; Former Senior Advisor, President Barack Obama;Timothy Naftali, Clinical Associate Professor, New York University; Presidential Historian, CNN; Kori Schake, Distinguished Research Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University; Former Senior Policy Advisor, McCain-Palin Campaign; McKay Coppins, Staff Writer, The Atlantic, Author.
