They explore the origins of partisan politics, the limits of executive power, the meaning of the Constitution, and the enduring challenge of preserving self-government. What did the Founding Fathers get right? What would they think of America today? And what lessons can we learn from them to endure for another 250 years?
Professor H.W. Brands is the Jack S. Blanton Sr. Chair in History at the University of Texas at Austin. He is the author of more than 30 books, including "The First American: The Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin", "Reagan: The Life", and "American Patriarch: The Life of George Washington."

Dan Crenshaw recently sat down with Andy Stumpf for his Cleared Hot Podcast, and over three hours, they covered a lot of ground, from policy debates to fake headlines.
They spent the first hour digging into a variety of real issues. If you're here for the recent social media-driven drama, skip about an hour in. Andy didn't hold back. He asked about everything—"insider trading," Mexico, fake threats, and podcast drama. This episode was long, intense, and necessary.

Christian scholar Dr. Tim Larsen joins the show to explain the real origins of the Christmas traditions we hold dear today—from Santa Claus and reindeer to ornaments and the December 25th date itself.

And yes—we settle the age-old question: Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?
Dr. Timothy Larsen is a Professor of History at Wheaton College in Illinois and the president of the American Society of Church History. His scholarly expertise is the Victorian era, the period that has done so much to shape our Christmas celebrations today, and he is an expert on Christmas. He is the author or editor of over twenty books, including Twelve Classic Christmas Stories: A Feast of Yuletide Tales and The Oxford Handbook of Christmas.
