    America at 250: A Celebration of the American Story, with Jane Hampton Cook

    As America approaches its 250th birthday, bestselling author and historian Jane Hampton Cook joins us for a conversation about the people, moments, and ideas that make the American story so remarkable. We discuss why America remains a nation worth celebrating, the most underrated Americans in our history, the historical events we'd most like to witness firsthand, and the era that best represents America's peak. Along the way, we explore what makes America unique and why, nearly 250 years after its founding, its story continues to captivate us.   A GREAT AND GRATEFUL NATION: FROM GRIEVANCE TO GRATITUDE https://www.amazon.com/Great-Grateful-Nation-Grievance-Gratitude/dp/1617156787/ JOIN PREMIUM Listen ad-free for only $5/month at www.bit.ly/TAPpremium BUY US A COFFEE buymeacoffee.com/thisamericanpresident FOLLOW US:www.thisamericanpresident.com/ CREDITSHost: Richard LimProducer: Michael NealCover Art: Nip Rogers, www.NipRogers.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    George H.W. Bush in an Anti-Establishment Age, with Laurence Jurdem

    We live in an era defined by distrust of institutions, political outsiders, and anti-establishment movements. What can the life of perhaps the ultimate establishment president tell us about America today? In this episode, I speak with historian Laurence Jurdem about his new book, 41: George H.W. Bush and the End of the American Establishment. We discuss Bush’s rise through the political, diplomatic, and intelligence institutions of his era, why voters eventually turned against the world he represented, and how his presidency—and legacy—look in an age increasingly defined by populism and skepticism toward the establishment. 41: George H.

    What Did Queen Elizabeth II Really Think of America’s Presidents? with Susan Page

    Did you know that a young Princess Elizabeth once spent time with a twenty-something John F. Kennedy? Or that Richard Nixon hoped to marry one of his daughters into the British royal family? In this episode, I speak with bestselling author Susan Page about her new book, The Queen and Her Presidents: The Hidden Hand That Shaped History. We explore Queen Elizabeth II’s remarkable relationships with American presidents from Truman to Biden, her quiet influence on world affairs, and some of the most fascinating stories to emerge from the royal archives—including whether the rumored rivalry between the Queen and Jacqueline Kennedy, famously depicted in The Crown, was actually real.

    Young Washington: The Untold Story of America’s Founding Hero, with Benton Crane

    Before he became the indispensable man of the American founding, George Washington was a young officer fighting for survival in the wilderness, battling the French, navigating deadly frontier politics, and learning the hard lessons that would forge his character. In this episode, I speak with Benton Crane, co-founder of Angel Studios, about Young Washington, a major new film focused on George Washington’s early exploits before the Revolution and presidency. We discuss why this story is arriving at the perfect moment ahead of America 250, and how Young Washington could mark the beginning of an ambitious new era of cinematic storytelling about the Founding generation.   YOUNG WASHINGTON https://www.angel.com/movies/young-washington JOIN PREMIUM Listen ad-free for only $5/month at www.bit.ly/TAPpremium BUY US A COFFEE buymeacoffee.com/thisamericanpresident FOLLOW US:www.thisamericanpresident.com/ CREDITSHost: Richard LimProducer: Michael NealCover Art: Nip Rogers, www.NipRogers.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    At the Brink: Presidents, Nuclear Weapons, and the Fate of the World Part 2, with Dr. Anthony Eames

    How should Americans evaluate presidential candidates when it comes to nuclear weapons? In this episode, Dr. Anthony Eames, Director of Scholarly Initiatives at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, returns to the show to examine how presidents from Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump have approached nuclear weapons, deterrence, and arms control. We discuss the end of the Cold War, the challenge of rogue states, and why some presidents—including George W. Bush in Iraq and Donald Trump in Iran—have ultimately chosen military action to stop nuclear threats. What separates a reckless nuclear policy from a prudent one? And what qualities should Americans look for in a commander-in-chief entrusted with the world’s deadliest weapons?

    The First Ladies: Hidden Power in the White House, with Anita McBride

    What does the First Lady actually do—and how did the role become so influential? Our host Richard Lim sits down with Anita McBride—former Chief of Staff to Laura Bush, Executive-in-Residence at American University’s School of Public Affairs, and Director of the First Ladies Initiative—to break down the evolution of one of the most visible roles in American life. From Dolley Madison to Eleanor Roosevelt to today, how have First Ladies shaped the presidency from behind the scenes—and sometimes far beyond it? And looking ahead: they discuss what happens if there’s ever a First Gentleman? This episode is a sharp, inside look at power, politics, and the changing role of America’s “unofficial” partner in the presidency.   Remember the First Ladies: The Legacies of America's History-Making Women https://www.amazon.com/Remember-First-Ladies-Legacies-History-Making/dp/B0CMZM1KHF JOIN PREMIUM Listen ad-free for only $5/month at www.bit.ly/TAPpremium BUY US A COFFEE buymeacoffee.com/thisamericanpresident FOLLOW US:www.thisamericanpresident.com/ CREDITSHost: Richard LimProducer: Michael NealCover Art: Nip Rogers, www.NipRogers.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
