The Glenn Beck Podcast

Reconstruction promised freedom but delivered a brutal fight over who would truly count as an American. This episode begins with the 1866 New Orleans Massacre, then plunges into President Andrew Johnson’s war with Radical Republicans, the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, and the first presidential impeachment. Along the way, William H. Seward gambles on Alaska, Theodore Judah’s impossible railroad dream binds the continent, and Ulysses S. Grant takes on racial terror from the White House. It’s a story of violence, vision, corruption, courage, and the unfinished struggle to turn emancipation into equal citizenship during one of the nation’s most turbulent eras.

Two American giants collide in the brutal birth of modern politics. John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson were born the same year, but they represented two radically different Americas. One was a polished diplomat raised for public service; the other was a fiery frontier warrior who carried bullets, grudges, and political rage. Their rivalry explodes through the “corrupt bargain” of 1824, the vicious election of 1828, and leads to the birth of the Democratic Party. This is the story of how Andrew Jackson forever altered the presidency, and how John Quincy Adams found new purpose as a warrior in the fight against slavery.

On the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, Glenn Beck speaks aboard the USS Midway in San Diego, California, as part of Moms for Liberty’s “Sea to Shining Sea” event. Glenn asks a question we all must all answer: Do we still have the courage, bravery, and selflessness of the Greatest Generation? Because, as Glenn explains through historical stories about the Battle of Midway, D-Day, America’s founding, and the Gettysburg Address, someone always had to go first for the battle to be won. As America faces new challenges, Glenn asks, are you willing to truly stand up for what you believe in?
