 Episode 218: The Good, Bad, and Ugly of Think Locally, Act Locally | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:32:40

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com We witnessed an example of good, bad, and ugly in state politics this week. Missouri did something good, no great, Mississippi the bad with good intent, and Colorado and Delaware the ugly. I explain all three in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

 Episode 217: Leave Joseph Story Out of the Federalist Society | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:31:54

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com The Federalist Society has decided to give an award named after the "originalist" Joseph Story. This is a bad idea for so many reasons. I explain why in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

 Episode 216: Is John Tyler the Worst or Best President? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:34:22

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com Libertarianism.org has called John Tyler the worst president in American history. This is lunacy. I like the author of the piece, but in this case, he's just flat wrong. I tackle the issue in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

 Episode 215: Incorporation, Establishment, and Originalism | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:31:02

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com Is incorporation settled law? More importantly, what does the "Establishment Clause" contained in the First Amendment mean? And could/can States have state established churches? These are big questions. One candidate for a Wisconsin State court position believes that the States did have the ability to establish a religion--he is correct. He then backtracked when attacked by his leftist opponent. At the same time, the SCOTUS is deliberating on the "Establishment Clause" and will issue a ruling in the coming months on this issue. I discuss all of this in a listener generated Think Locally, Act Locally free-for-fall.

 Episode 214: Lincoln Invents History at Cooper Union | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:36:46

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com This is a listener requested episode. Lincoln's Cooper Union Address is considered to be one of his best speeches. Figures. It is full of historical inaccuracies, half-truths, and logical fallacies. Typical Honest Abe. I take apart this speech and discuss what it means for American history on this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

 Episode 213: Presidential Rankings by Historians are Stupid | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:39:14

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com I mean this in the nicest way. Avoid presidential rankings by collections of esteemed historians. They aren't worth the time and effort to read them. I do that for you and comment on the absolute stupidity in their ranking system--and the justifications for them--in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

 Episode 212: "Draft the women" say the men without chests. | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:30:01

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com According to a federal judge, women are now eligible for the draft. This is a sad day for Western Civilization. I Tweeted something on a similar line and of course the radical leftists went crazy. I explain everything in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

 Episode 211: Timbs, the 8th, and the Constitution | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:31:38

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com Oops they did it again, they played with the Constitution, and they're not quite innocent. Of course I am not referring to Brittany Spears, but to the 9 actors on the Supreme Court. While many people stood up and applauded the SCOTUS decision in Timbs v. Indiana, the Court, as usual, got it wrong. Only Justice Thomas came close to getting it right. I discuss the case, incorporation, and the BOR in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show. This is a listener generated show.

 Episode 210: Republicans, Progressives, and Taxes | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:34:41

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com Progressives want a 70% top marginal income tax rate and claim this has always been the American way, that is until those evil Republicans changed things in the 1980s. This is all hogwash. I discuss taxes, Republicans, and progressives in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

 Episode 209: Lincoln vs. Washington | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:31:52

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com Are George Washington and Abraham Lincoln really the best presidents in American history? More importantly, are they similar in any way? No. In fact, Lincoln should be regarded as one of the worst. I take apart President's Day, Lincoln, and the Lincoln myth on this Episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

 Episode 208: Just Blame Calhoun | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:33:04

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com When something is wrong, just blame Calhoun. That is what anyone with half a brain decides to do. It doesn't matter if you are on the "left" or the "right," Calhoun is the root of all American evil. This is a cartoonish narrative that unfortunately gets used too often. I take apart a recent attempt by a "conservative" in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

 Episode 207: What's Wrong with Education in America? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:37:37

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com What's wrong with education in America? It sure isn't money. It sure isn't a lack of teachers or people trying to teach in higher education, but that is what the Left would have you to believe. The problem is indoctrination and stupid majors that should not exist. The progs break it and then have the "solutions" to fix it. I rip the progressive "educators" to shreds on this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

 Episode 206: What the SOU Should Have Said | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:31:06

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com Trump delivered the State of the Union address to a group of spoiled teenagers last night. He said some good things, but as usual, the address had little substance and was heavy on slogans and platitudes. I give you a SOU that we all should applaud, that is all adults should applaud.

 Episode 205: Progressives NEED to Control the Federal Bench | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:32:00

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com Progressives need to control the federal bench, which is why they are so worried about "RGB" as I like to mix up the letters. Very 90s. Regardless, they worry that the bogeyman Federalist Society will have more input in selecting judicial appointments. Will the Federalist Society change the direction of the United States? Nope. I tell you why in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

 Episode 204: Would the Founders Oppose Billionaires? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:30:14

https://mcclanahanacademy.com https://brionmcclanahan.com/support http://learntruehistory.com "AOC" thinks the billionaires are immoral. Leftist "journalist" pens pieces supporting her claim with quotes from the founding generation. Predictable and stupid. I discuss in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.
