104- Impeaching Andrew Johnson

Ever heard of the time the United States tried to take down communist Russia with a cat? Of course not. The Cold War brought us laugh-a-minute kinds of fun. If we weren’t threatening nuclear annihilation or destroying foreign nations with proxy wars then we were busy spying on one another. These spy games brought us James Bond films but it also brought us Operation Acoustic Kitty. In this episode Jess and Joe dive into what is possibly the most absurd use of taxpayer dollars in recent history.

No more playing around. America will claim her “just reward” for “helping” the Cubans. This conflict, however, will prove to be an expensive, costly headache for the US.

During WWI two notorious laws would be passed. The Espionage and Sedition Acts would drastically limit the freedom of speech and prohibit Americans from criticizing the war, the draft, and even the government itself. Amazingly, when challenged, the Supreme Court defended these as not contradictory of the 1st Amendment! Today we discuss Schenk v. US and some of the absurd aftermath of these laws. Moustaches!

We return to this week to the ever-present but never president, William Jennings Bryan. Early 20th Century America had just begin to flex her imperial muscles at the Spanish American War and beyond.

Listen in as we look into Bryan who once again finds himself on the losing side of an argument. Thanks Salo Wolf for suggesting this topic!

41- The Heist of Hawaii Part 1

Woodrow Wilson

In today’s episode we take Woodrow Wilson to the test on his abysmal Civil Rights record. Then we compare him with the amorous and often mocked Warren G. Harding. Say what you will about the corrupt or inept Harding… He was lightyears ahead of his predecessor on Civil Rights. Today we ask why it is that Wilson gets all the love from History standards but Harding is literally ignored or slandered by them.Sources – 1 2 3
