Podcast appearances and mentions of Walter F Mondale

Emerging as a powerful figurehead for a possible 2024 presidential run, our former and 45th President, Donald Trump, demonstrated his unyielding resolve to rectify the ongoing conflicts in Israel and Ukraine swiftly after his potential reelection. This resolve was voiced in a triumphant proclamation, after he triumphed decisively in the Iowa caucuses, earning the votes of a whopping 20 delegates. Trump delivered a powerful critique of current President Joe Biden, describing him as the 'least effective president' our nation has witnessed. He firmly stated that had he continued his presidency, conflicts involving Russia and Ukraine, as well as Israel, wouldn't have seen the light of day. Labeling the Ukrainian and Israeli situations as exceedingly unfortunate, he questioned the series of events that led up to such a state of affairs. However, his determination remained unmoved. 'We are on the path to devise solutions; to instigate swift and decisive actions,' the former president confidently declared. Dealing a masterful stroke on this particular Monday, Trump succeeded in etching his name into the annals of political history. He became the inaugural Republican or Democrat presidential candidate to seize victory in the Iowa caucuses, securing the majority of the votes, even in freezing conditions. The last occasion when a candidate nearly managed such a feat was during the 1984 Democrat caucus, with Walter F. Mondale capturing 49 percent of the votes. The triumphant outcome in Iowa was painstakingly validated through the live televised hand-counting of paper ballots. Upon tallying all caucus participants, the results revealed Donald Trump standing victorious with 51 percent of the votes and a significant delegation of 16 members. Hence, the voice of the people echoed through the chilly Iowa night.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

‘On the 25th of September 1984, in one of the hardest-hitting speeches of his long Presidential campaign against Ronald Reagan, former Vice-President Walter F. Mondale spoke powerfully at George Washington University about the contemporary political landscape: This election is not about jellybeans and pens pals. It is about toxic dumps that give cancer to our children. This election is not about country music and birthday cakes. It is about old people who can’t pay for medicine. This election is not about the Olympic torch. It is about the civil-rights laws that opened athletics to women and minorities who won those gold medals… This election is not about my standing in the polls. It is about my stand against the illegal war in Nicaragua. This election is not about slogans, like “standing tall.” It is about specifics, like the nuclear freeze – because if those weapons go off, no one will be left standing tall. This election is about values. I refuse to cut loose from my history and desert the beliefs I have always fought for. I would rather lose a race about decency than win one about self-interest. Despite his best efforts, he did lose. The country, according to Mondale, was getting another four years of jellybeans and cowboy boots.’ So, today on American History Too!, we’ll be discussing the complex and often contested intersections between liberalism and conservatism in Ronald Reagan’s America.
