The Hair-Raising History of the American Presidency, with Theodore Pappas

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

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?
