Trump has not conducted the conventional Republican war, except for the fact that it began like all other post-WWII wars, without congressional authorization.https://mcclanahanacademy.comhttps://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshowhttps://brionmcclanahan.com/supporthttp://learntruehistory.com
A lot of midwits are comparing Jefferson's actions against the Barbary states to Trump's action's against Iran. This is really bad history.https://mcclanahanacademy.comhttps://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshowhttps://brionmcclanahan.com/supporthttp://learntruehistory.com

Can the President unilaterally impose tariffs? SCTOUS seems to think so. That illustrates the problem with SCOTUS.https://mcclanahanacademy.comhttps://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshowhttps://brionmcclanahan.com/supporthttp://learntruehistory.com

It's actually very easy, though not in the way most historians would suggest. And we should listen to presidential critics.https://mcclanahanacademy.comhttps://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshowhttps://brionmcclanahan.com/supporthttp://learntruehistory.com
Jamelle Bouie thinks almost every president has sought "common ground," that is until now. Is this true?https://mcclanahanacademy.comhttps://patreon.com/thebrionmcclanahanshowhttps://brionmcclanahan.com/supporthttp://learntruehistory.com

Who could read Josh Hammer or watch him try to debate his BS ideas, and still think he is worthy of anything other than ridicule?
I would suggest listening to Scott Horton's recent interview with Judge Napoletano. The charges against Trump are actually quite strong.
Relative to RFK, you're gonna get hell for this episode. Two weeks ago I would have agreed completely. RFK is 100% pro-Israel, and openly so on twitter. He's a neo-con. He would be horrible with foreign policy. Otherwise, outstanding episode, as usual.

I'd just like some debate. Claims he makes are interesting but when I listen to the Thomas Jefferson hour I hear many contradictions. would love to have him debate Clay Jenkinson
my question is why does he not debate ANYONE? Ive been searching and searching for something where someone would be able to refute his claims made about other articles/ideas. NOT ONE!
great show!
Great show! A staple of my morning commute.
