The Brion McClanahan ShowEpisode 426: Alabama Gun RightsA bill introduced in the Alabama Senate gets it right. The Alabama Second Amendment Preservation Act hits all the right points and covers all the right bases.

I cover the bill in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

I have been saying that for almost two years. Enough with Hamilton! But it seems some other people are catching on, like the Wall Street Journal. Maybe not their editorial board, but a couple of WSJ reporters went out and found enough people who want to downplay Hamilton to write an article about it. I wrote an entire book on the topic, and as a result of their article, this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

China wants to invade Taiwan because Lincoln invaded the South. This makes perfect sense, but not to most Americans, particularly those brainwashed by the Lincoln myth. If you believe in self-determination, then Taiwan should be independent, as should the Southern States. But this leads to the question, what constitutes legitimate government? If you celebrate July 4, then you should also believe that the Southern States had legitimate governments during the War. I discuss in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Michael Malice has a new book titled The New Right. It's an honest evaluation of what has been termed the "alt-right" from an intellectually curious person. I think the book is a fantastic read, and I explain why in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Why can't we all get along? Perhaps because we are speaking two different constitutional languages. I have been saying this for years, but three law professors have now "discovered" so-called "sobering" evidence that this is the case. Welcome to the show. I discuss these two different games in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Young people are terrible at history. This is a pandemic, but the question is why? John Davidson at TheFederalist.com gets it mostly right by suggesting that students don't want to learn history because it is just the bad stuff. Who cares about awful people? This is true, but then he suggests that we need to learn history...because of the bad stuff. We do need history, and I explain how to fix our historical ignorance problem in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

I received a couple of emails/Tweets that just had to be used for podcast fodder. The first focused on "immorality" of Confederate monuments and the second on the supposed pristine history of the Republican Party. The two cannot be divorced so I crush both stupid positions in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

Former SCOTUS Justice John Paul Stevens (99 years old) published an op-ed last week called the U.S. vs. Heller decision the worst of his tenure on the bench. Why? Because he thinks it distorted the 2nd Amendment. This is an absurd position, but one that deserves attention. I discuss in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.

I have received several emails from listeners asking about the Articles of Confederation. Was it that bad? Did the Constitution fundamentally change the Union? What are the similarities between the Constitution and the Articles? Did the States secede from the Articles? Good news. I answer several of these questions in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show. But you'll also want to sign up for McClanahan Academy because the Articles will be part of a course I am designing for release sometime this year. Get your fix now, but the...2018-02-0624 min
Success 2.0Episode 86 - Mom- Anything But Average“It’s better to keep your mouth shut and let people think that you are an idiot, than open it and remove all doubt. - Shelly McClanahan On Monday September 25 in the late afternoon, my mom, Shelly McClanahan, passed away peacefully.
