This American President

17/10/2023

We tend to see events like the founding of America as inevitable, but as Bret Baier observes, it was anything but. It took a great deal of blood and treasure and even a little bit of luck to establish the United States. No less important was the wisdom, character, and leadership of George Washington. In this episode, we interview Mr. Baier about his new book, To Rescue the Constitution, and learn how Washington literally saved America from collapse.

Mark Twain disdained most politicians, but there was one for whom he expressed unqualified admiration. Did he rave about Washington or Lincoln? Nope, he was actually a fan of Chester Arthur! This , read on America's unsung leaders here:

Secret Service Agent Clint Hill was with President and Mrs. John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. As the shots rang out, Hill ran and jumped onto the presidential limousine to protect the president and First Lady. Sadly, the damage had been done--within half an hour, President Kennedy was dead. I had the privilege of interviewing Mr. Hill and his wife Lisa McCubbin Hill about their new book, My Travels With Mrs. Kennedy.

Do you think it's fair to only judge people by their failures?

This US president was born into a poor family and orphaned at a young age, and yet overcame those challenges to travel the world, make a fortune, and save lives. Yet most people only remember him for one thing...

The Bush family has arguably been the most successful political dynasty in modern American history. But while much has been written about presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, less is known about the women in their family, specifically the matriarch Dorothy Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush. In this episode, we interview perennially bestselling author J. Randy Taraborrelli about his book Grace & Steel: Dorothy, Barbara, Laura and the Women of the Bush Dynasty.
