Description

Randal Wallace Presents : "George H. W. Bush" a five season look back at his extraordinary life, career, and his single term as President of the United States. A term that saw the high point of American Leadership around the world.  In our 14th Season , we will look back at one of the most exciting election years in history. It should have been easier, George Bush had freed the world of Communism and managed the fall of a superpower without having the world fall into violent chaos. A truly remarkable achievement in World History. 

At one point George Bush had a 91% approval rating, By the end of 1992, he would lose his reelection bid. This is that story and in it you will see the foundational beginnings of the very "America First", "Make America Great Again" movement that so dominates our politics in 2024 in the form of Donald Trump. We will watch the changing of the guard as the Vietnam Generation leads a campaign in 1992 to transfer power from the generation of leadership that won the Cold War, to those who protested the Vietnam War in the streets of America .  In the forefront of that campaign we witness arguably the greatest campaigner to ever set foot on the trail in Arkansas Governor, Bill Clinton. 


We invite you to come along with us on a wild ride through the high points and low moments of modern American History, in an effort to show the citizens of today that we are an amazing and resilient nation.

In this episode we will listen in on all the various themes and issues he touched on in his hour and 20 minute press conference and then delve into the historic legal proceeding in New York State. In our opinion, that action by the New York State Court was exactly the type of overreach that we hope ...
Send us a textThis is a second part we added to our tribute to President Jimmy Carter that ran yesterday. The episode we put together to start with was already 1 hour and 47 minutes long after editing it down, so we had to decide what to cut from the program. After making the edits we came to the conclusion that we had another episode that really needed to be shared. This is that episode and that material. We will begin with some extra things we found including a speech by Presiden...

Send us a textIn our first of several special editions in January, we shall bid farewell to two United States Senators who have spent their times in office reaching across the aisle in order find solutions to issues plaguing our nation. While that is commendable, it does come with a price and can hurt you in the base of your own party. One of the reasons both men stepped down from the Senate is that they had alienated large swaths of their own party faithful. The two Senators were Mitt R...

They needed 50,000 signatures, they ended up with 250,000. Suddenly, H. Ross Perot was a serous contender for President of the United States. He had the money, a self made billionaire, and he told you what he really thought without poll testing it first. He ran for President warning everyone of the disaster the defici...
