Vault: Strange History We Locked Away

President Presley (Delta -5)


Listen Later

What if Elvis didn’t die in 1977? What if the King of Rock and Roll recovered, turned his back on showbiz, and walked straight into the Oval Office?

In this recovered history from Timeline Delta-5, Not This Time traces the astonishing second act of Elvis Presley—from overdose survivor to Commander-in-Chief. Along the way, he dismantles the two-party system, reshapes America's cultural identity, and helps end the Cold War with a song.

You’ll hear about:

  • The night Elvis lived—and everything that followed
  • His unlikely path from rehab to rural philanthropy to presidential politics
  • A populist 1988 campaign that broke every rule
  • A White House run on heart, humility, and Southern grit
  • How a rock star presidency forever changed global diplomacy, celebrity politics, and the meaning of American leadership

This is not fiction. This is the Archivist’s account.

This is Not This Time.
