Ep. 0266: DHP Villains: Woodrow Wilson, Part 11


This installment in the Woodrow Wilson series covers the period of the Wilson presidency from the summer of 1914 through the end of that year, when he said he wanted to keep the US neutral & out of the war, & still seemed to at least kinda mean it.

(*Apologies for the lackluster audio quality in some of the middle segments – I accidentally used my laptop’s crummy integral mic instead of my usual podcasting mic for those.)

Ep. 0264: The Most Important Topic on Earth


This episode features CJ’s reading of large excerpts from a speech JFK gave at American University just 5 months before he was assassinated.

Join CJ as he discusses:

  • His upcoming DHP JFK assassination mini-series (set to debut this November, which is the 60th anniversary of JFK’s death), a likely speaking gig in November, and a possible DIY/DHP road tour of the American Sunbelt this Fall.
  • The historical context of JFK turning increasingly against the Pentagon & CIA over issues of war and peace from 1961-1963
  • JFK’s American University Commencement Address from June 10, 1963, which many consider one of the most important speeches he ever gave, & which may have contributed to his death just over 5 months later.

Ep. 0262: In Defense of Normalcy (w/Ryan S. Walters)


This DHP episode features CJ’s recent interview with historian Ryan S. Walters about his most recent book, The Jazz Age President: Defending Warren G. Harding, which was recently released in paperback.

Join CJ & Ryan as they discuss Warren Harding, his presidency, and how, in contrast to the Establishment’s take, Harding was actually a very good president, and far, far superior to his immediate predecessor, Woodrow Wilson – at least, if you actually value things like peace, freedom, civil liberties, & prosperity.

Ep. 0259: A Butterfly Saves the World…from Woodrow Wilson?: An Alt-Hist DHP Microdose


We’ve all heard of the famous ‘butterfly effect.’ But is there a plausible, realistic, alternative historical scenario in which the US & the world could’ve been spared the worst aspects of Woodrow Wilson’s presidency merely by altering one seemingly minor detail of the 1912 election?

Yes there is. Join CJ in this super-concise DHP episode as he discusses just such a scenario, whereby changing only one seemingly humble variable in 1912 would probably have given the US a POTUS who would’ve kept the country out of WWI & thereby avoided the worst aspects of Woodrow Wilson.

Ep. 0258: DHP Heroes: Osceola (CJ’s talk from the 2023 Florida LP Convention)


Join CJ as he discusses the life & death of the Seminole leader Osceola, who was a key resistance leader in the early stages of the Second Seminole War (1835-42), the longest & costliest Indian war in US history, in which the US government was using force to ethnically cleanse the Seminole people out of Florida.

Ep. 0251: DHP Villains: Woodrow Wilson, Part 10

Finally, more than a year after Woodrow Wilson Part 9, CJ returns to the story of the man he loves to hate!

This time, we’re going to take a detour from the chrono-narrative of Wilson’s presidency; this one is going to focus on Wilson’s beliefs, statements & actions on race throughout his career as an academic & politician.

Was Woodrow Wilson a racist? The short answer is yes, without a doubt. But as is so often the case with history, the details are more complicated & more interesting than most people realize!

Join CJ as he does a deep-dive exploration into Woodrow Wilson’s beliefs, statements, & actions regarding race through his academic & political careers.

Ep. 0248: “Led to Commit an Overt Act of War”: A Fun-Size DHP Pearl Harbor Day Special

Join CJ as he discusses the so-called “McCollum Memo” from the Office of Naval Intelligence, written by ONI officer Arthur McCollum & dated October 7th, 1940, which served as the blueprint for the FDR Administration’s strategy of deliberately provoking Japan, a strategy that culminated in the Pearl Harbor attack 14 months later.

Ep. 0242: Hays Codes, Part 1: The Old Hays Code

In part 1 of 2, join CJ as he discusses the Motion Picture Association of America’s so-called “Hays Code” (officially: “A Code to Govern the Making of Motion Pictures”), which rigidly controlled the content of most American movies from the early-1930s to the late-1960s.
