Undeniably Unconsecutive: The Story of Grover Cleveland's Third Election: Only one person has been elected President twice in non-consecutive terms. But it was not easy. To do it Grover Cleveland had to pass a few difficult tests. From Goody-Goodies to Anti-Snappers, to Anti-Egoists and Scarecrow Festivals; from entering opposing party contests in secret ways to placing bets for your own candidate, to pretending to run in states and letting a third party win, to taking forceful honest stands, 1892 had everything. It was a triumph of navigating complex steampower politics. The first being, did he really want to run again? We are part of Airwave Media Network. www.airwavemedia.com Our sponsor is Money Pickle.

THE ELECTION OF 1916 - Part Three; Not a Man To Be Enthused About by My History Can Beat Up Your Politics
87 min listen
THE ELECTION OF 1916: Part Two - He Kept Us Out of War: Both major parties have their conventions. The Democratic swashbucklers are at the podium, firing up a party to get excited about Wilson by linking him to a cause. One he didn't ask to be linked to. The Republicans get their party united, and toastmaster Warren G. Harding is fierce as he makes the case to dump Wilson. The Socialists also pick new candidates, a decision which may be as impactful as anything on Election Day. by My History Can Beat Up Your Politics

THE ELECTION OF 1916 - Part One: Everything is Different Now: America decides whether or not to re-elect a President and it's close. Bruce does his best 1916 version of Steve Kornacki going through the returns as they come in and as the nation awaits a verdict. A President that hadn't been elected with a majority, a re-election that happens while Europe is at war. Early results show that America will get a new President. But those pesky precincts. Why can't they count the vote faster? We talk about the factors behind the election and Wilson's Presidency. by My History Can Beat Up Your Politics

NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT:: Part Three - Aaron Burr, Stephen Douglas, James Monroe and Others: Did Aaron Burr try to run for President on the sly, while claiming he didn't? What about that dinner with Jefferson? Did Stephen Douglas stump when he said he was "just visiting his mom?" Did President Monroe actually have a campaign for President in 1820? More to the point did he actually get a vote cast against him? (This one is different from what you may have learned in history class). This, and other stories of that American tradition of not running for President. by My History Can Beat Up Your Politics

NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT: Part Two - The Case of Mario Cuomo: They called him the "Hamlet on the Hudson." What series on people not running for President in American history would be complete without the former governor of New York Mario Cuomo. He was famous for coming ever-so-close to running for President. And then, not running. In one case, he left a plane on a tarmac for reporters to watch for hours. Was it politics? Was it bad timing? Was it preference for state government? What about those mob ties [real or imagined] that were talked about? And was it, just maybe, a kind a weird psychological thing? We examine it all, in detail, on this episode.. by My History Can Beat Up Your Politics

NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT: Part One - Horatio Seymour, Horace Greeley and Others: One thing Horatio Seymour made clear was that he was not running for President. He made it clear by saying not only he would not run but that he "must not be President." His party simply didn't care. And so, there he was on the ballot. In this three-part series we look at people not running for President, not knowing they were running, or in the case of Greeley unable to finish the run because, well, they were not alive. You'll find that not running for President (but announcing it) is almost as much a part of American political history as running for the office. by My History Can Beat Up Your Politics

Brown vs. The Board of Ed, Swain, PICS Decision, Busing and School Integration: The Supreme Court said in 1954 that segregated schools were inherently illegal. It took decades to fully address the problem. While events in the South are often discussed, events North also are important to focus on to understand the history. This cast blends modern events with a cast from 2007 talking about Brown, Brown III, Swain, PIC and the associated decisions. by My History Can Beat Up Your Politics

The French Revolution and America with Will Clark of "Grey History: The French Revolution and Napoleon Podcast": In this episode, I talk to fellow Airwave Media podcaster Will Clark of Grey History about the French Revolution and how it shaped American history, how American politicians reacted to it at the time, 100 years ago, and today. We also get into 'grey areas' of the French Revolution: things that we think about it that may be wrong, exaggerated, or even right on target. ABOUT GREY HISTORY Grey History is a podcast dedicated to exploring the ambiguities of the past. Too often history is presented as black and white, and Grey History seeks to examine the area in between those two extremes. Why? Because it’s in the grey that history has its beauty, its intrigue, and, most importantly, its lessons. In order to explore history’s ambiguities, the podcast makes a deliberate point of comparing differing experiences, perspectives, and conclusions.

You Break Everybody's Back: The 1988 Presidential Election - Part 6, Theoretical Dukakis: In our final episode of our six-part series on the 1988 Presidential Election, Vice President Bush has a lead over Mike Dukakis. It's close enough for a comeback though, and more than a few have suggestions for a different Dukakis message. A series of mistakes will doom the campaign. And that is the traditional way the story is told. But we suggest there they may been an invisible election going on under the surface. by My History Can Beat Up Your Politics

How evangelicals are setting the stage for Trump's return: The big debate in Washington this week is about realism versus idealism. It played out first in foreign policy, when Joe Biden hosted Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a state dinner. Biden has made big claims about how democratic ideals are at the heart of American foreign policy; but he spent two days lavishing time and attention on Modi, who is persecuting Muslims and cracking down on public dissent from reporters and political opponents. Biden needs India to be an ally against China and that priority outweighed the instinct to shun Modi for his creeping authoritarianism. We talk about this debate all the time when it comes to American foreign policy. But sometimes that same debate becomes central to American domestic politics as well. And across town, just as Modi was wrapping up his joint address to Congress, evangelical conservatives from across the country were gathering at the Washington Hilton to hear fro by Playbook Deep Dive

A Conservative on How His Party Has Changed Since 2016: The 2024 Republican presidential primary is officially underway, and Donald Trump is dominating the field. But this is a very different contest than it was in 2016. Back then, the Republican Party was the party of foreign policy interventionism, free trade and cutting entitlements, and Trump was the insurgent outsider unafraid to buck the consensus. Today, Trump and his views have become the consensus. The primary, then, raises some important questions: How has Donald Trump changed the Republican Party over the past eight years? Is Trumpism an actual set of policy views or just a political aesthetic? And if Trump does become the nominee again, where does the party go from here? Ben Domenech is a longtime conservative writer who served as a speechwriter in George W. Bush’s administration and co-founded several right-leaning outlets, including RedState and The Federalist.
