HILF: History I'd Like to F**kHILF 02: John Dillinger with Kat PerkinsJohn Dillinger’s career was short. The time between his first bank robbery and his killing by the FBI on the streets of Chicago, was just under 21 months. His impact on American culture, however, is immeasurable. He was especially handsome, conspicuously charming and ever-bold in his actions. As the Great Depression worsened - as far as the general American was concerned - a polite gun-slinger who was always kind to ladies, just didn’t look that bad compared to the banks he was robbing.Guest, Kat Perkins, is a prolific singer-songwriter out of the Twin Cities and also...

Shocking! Lurid! Tawdry! A History of American ScandalsThat Time Robert Potter Castrated 2 Men and Got Re-Elected to CongressThanks to Forget the Alamo, we have a clearer idea of the kind of men who fought for Texas independence... and guys? They weren't great. So not great, in fact, that Robert Potter is just a footnote in that book, but he's worth an entire episode's discussion for us. After hogtieing and castrating two men, he was re-elected to Congress—and that's when things take a turn. But he was a white man in the 19th-century so don't worry! He's buried in the Texas State Cemetery and has a county in the Panhandle named after him.

The Cave of TimeUndergroundIn the 1960’s the Weathermen were no doubt the tip of the spear for the political activism that sparked the most violent period of domestic terrorism in history of the United States. According to time magazine, in a single eighteen-month period during 1971 and 1972 the FBI counted an 2,500 bombings on American soil, an avg of 5 per day. You may expect members of the Weather Underground to all be locked up in Guantanamo Bay or at least be on a no-fly list with Nick Fuentes. Bill Ayers, Kathy Boudin, Bernadine Dohrn, and Cathy Wilkerson all entered quickly into academia with little to...

The ExperimentWhy Can’t We Just Forget the Alamo?The epic, oft-told origin story of Texas centers on the Lone Star State’s most infamous battle: the Battle of the Alamo, where American heroes such as Davy Crockett fought to the death against the Mexican army to secure Texas’s independence. The only problem, according to the writer and journalist Bryan Burrough, is that this founding legend isn’t all true. In June, Burrough and two other Texan writers set out to debunk the myth of the Alamo, only to find themselves in an unexpected battle with Texans still trying to protect their state’s revered origin story.

With the Bark Off: Conversations on the American Presidency“We have to forget the Alamo myths to remember the historic Alamo properly.” A Conversation with Forget the Alamo authors Bryan Burrough & Chris TomlinsonThe legend of the battle of the Alamo is not only an intrinsic part of Texas lore but is enshrined in the American imagination—a band of fiery rebels fighting for independence who die as martyrs in the cause of liberty. But a new book, “Forget the Alamo!” argues that the Alamo myth is just that—an allegory that tells us what we want to believe about the Alamo, but not what actually happened. Written by Bryan Burrough, Chris Tomlinson, and Jason Stanford, “Forget the Alamo!” has not been without its critics. A recent event at the Bullock...

History with Andrew Allen's PodcastThe Public Enemies Era (1933-1935)During the early 1930s, outlaws rampaged across much of America, seemingly robbing banks and kidnapping at will. Some of the more famous of these outlaws were Baby Face Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd, Face Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd, Bonnie and Clyde, Machine Gun Kelly and Alvin Karpis and the Barkers, but John Dillinger was undoubtedly the star. A wave of celebrity kidnappings and the murder of four law enforcement officers in Kansas City in June 1933 during a botched attempt to rescue a veteran bank robber made it clear that a national police force was required. Local police were forbidden to cross...

The Aaron Renn ShowChristianity, Conservatism and Crude OilWho financed the rise of conservatism? A large amount of funding came from independent oil producers who were keen to avoid government regulation of their industry. They were at war with the major oil companies that descended from the Rockefeller Standard Oil monopoly, and were rightly concerned that the government might de facto cartelize oil again at their expense.Christianity, both liberal and fundamentalist, was also heavily funded by oil money. The overlaps between the economic interest of the different camps of the oil industry with theology and politics raises profound, and frankly troubling questions that we...

One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. Yet the town had denied all early signs of the radical evil that was growing within Corwin. What had led the local media to ignore his early crimes? Why had the local Presbyterian Church tried to shield him from prison? Why had local law enforcement been unable to solve and prosecute his murders as they continued?

The Decision AdvantageDays of Rage with Bryan Burrough: Domestic Terrorism in the 1970’s"Domestic terrorism" is a phrase that has had its fair share of US headlines in the years since 2001 and the Al Qaeda terror attacks. We've all read reports of bombings, mail attacks using fire, biological weapons. And the dramatic death tolls from dozens and dozens of mass shootings.
But domestic terrorism was not hatched in the wake of foreign attacks. It predates online radicalization and the US wars in the Middle East and South Asia.
In fact, a series of domestic bombings, and other actions of radical underground groups were all too common during the 1970...

It’s funny how history often pokes its head out in the framework of contemporary events. Remember during the government shutdown a few years ago, commentators said that the radical elements of the GOP were acting like terrorists from the 60’s and 70’s? We heard similar criticism of occupy Wall Street years ago. And who can forget the President being accused of paling around with terrorist because of an acquaintance with Bill Ayers.
That fact is that the idea of direct action, grassroots support and commitment to ideas of social change, no matter how flawed, were an essential part of America...
