pleasure speaking with you.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Good morning, Brian, and it is great to wake up
and hear my friend Jack.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Atherton, isn't he brilliant? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
And Donovan too. It was like a double play. No,
Jack is always really great, too, great to hear and
gives you something to think about. I think I'm going
to need an extra cup of coffee for that.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I know, I know. He just it's food for thought
and things you can contemplate for a long time, and
I just always look forward to it. It's funny you
bring him up, because every time he comes on, I
get quite a few emails saying God, this guy is
so great. I love having him. I love you having
him on every week. So props to Jack add And
I know he puts a lot of thought and effort
into his commentary on the Morning show. And real quick,
(01:12):
before we get to your empower You seminar, which has
taken place tomorrow night, seven pm live or in person
in the empower You Studio is now at Scarlet Oaks
three hundred Great Oaks Drive, or you can log in
from the comfort of your own home. Just make sure
your register go to empower You America dot org because
he's going to be doing a seminar on the War
of eighteen twelve, how close the nation came to falling apart.
(01:34):
But real quick, before you get to that, I know
you're a champion, yet you've been involved in so many
issues political you go back a lot of years champion
of education choice, and I wanted to direct your attention
to an op ed piece that appeared in the Wall
Street Journal this morning, Ohio's school choice success story. They
did some number crunching over the years since Ohio's educational
(01:56):
Choice scholarship program kicked in two thousand and five, and
it has had wonderful results. Most notably, they said groups
that benefit of the most were blacks boys, students who
experienced long term childhood poverty, and students with below medium
test scores before leaving public school. So in college enrollment,
applications went up, test scores went up, all because of
(02:18):
school choice. So I want to applaud your efforts in
the past on that and just bring that to your
attention if you want to do to read it and
see that actually we've made some great inroads in the
education area of the state.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Well, you know, Brian, things in Ohio sometimes they move
a little slower than I like them to move. But
there's been so many grassroots people in Ohio that have
fought for school choice, and to see it working out
is really I mean, I think of people like Dan Peters,
and I think of groups in Columbus that have all
(02:51):
come to empower you and talked about it things, and
it's just so great to see it taking off. Now.
I know the other side is complaining now that the
cost is too high and we can't afford it, and
we just have to keep the upward progress going to
just keep on improving education and house So I can't
wait to read the article.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, I mean we can't afford it. If you're gonna
put money towards something and you get great results, and
you get better educated children who might very well set
up shop in Ohio and build successful businesses, isn't that
better for us in the long run than throwing money
in a lot of other stupid things. That was a
rhetorical question there.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
And I think it's called our own money, isn't it, Brian.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yes, it is, Yes, it is all right. Now, I
will admit my ignorance. I know about the War of
eighteen twelve, but I don't really know much about how
it got started. And I've always heard it had wildly
could have had profound implications for the future of our country.
But you know, just looking at your fact sheet that
(03:53):
gives you a little insight into the seminar itself, which
my listeners can find at Empower Youoamerica Dot org Man.
And I had no idea it was a byproduct of
the Napoleonic Wars.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, well you know that's the reason I'm doing the class. Brian.
I didn't know anything about it, and it's such an interesting,
interesting story of how close the nation actually came to
falling apart. We had the Federalists, the people that wrote
the constitution, people like Washington Adams, Hamilton, John Jay, and
they were in mostly the New England States, and their
(04:28):
opposition was the Republican Party, which was later to become
the Democratic Party. I know, that's kind of confusing. And
they had people like Thomas Jefferson, who our third president
who broke away, and then James Madison, which really this
war all revolves around. It was called by many mister
Madison's War, and people like John Calhoun and Henry Clay.
(04:50):
And what really happened was this is all about britt
Great Britain. Forgetting that we won the Revolutionary War and
that we were a sovereign nation. We started doing things
to us in the seas to really really interfere with
interfere with the state. The biggest thing they did was
called impressment, where they would board our boats and they
(05:12):
would try to look for deserted British soldiers and they
would actually take our people and make them and put
them on their boats and make them work for them.
There were ten about ten thousand US American citizens that
ended up on British boats. And then they started they
came out. Britain was always at war with France, and
(05:34):
we were kind of friendly with France for them. This
goes back into my history days. In eighteen o three
we got the Louisiana purchase from the French, which was
a huge squath of land west of Indiana eight hundred
thousand I think square miles. But Britain hated France and
was in war with them. And Britain came out and said, anybody,
(05:57):
we're going to put rules nobody can trade with France.
And that kind of series of events led us to
eventually declare war. And Madison really had had two goals.
He wanted to expand the physical territory to gain more
open markets, and he wanted to expand our trading opportunities.
(06:18):
And in the first place, the war was really fought
on three fronts Canada. So maybe Trump might want to
revisit this because this was the first time we invaded
Canada or wanted to take it over, and it was
just a miserable failure. We tried three times to invade Canada.
(06:38):
We had bad generals, they hadn't ever had to travel
to fight, which was new to them, and we just
we it was just just just a complete failure. And
one of the interesting things about this whole war was
our involvement with the Native Americans. There was a battle
of type Canoe in eighteen eleven and that Tecumso was
(07:01):
involved in. And Tecumso is really and his tribes, the
Indian tribes were really irated the Americans because we kept
taking over their territory like Indiana, Illinois, Ohio. And uh,
he was enraged also we had killed his father and
because of that, Tecumpsa decided to bring all the Indians
in with Britain to fight against us.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Wow, it was you know. That's one thing I learned
from Peter Brownson with his book is that the British
would work with the Indians to attack the American settlers
and kidnap them and otherwise, you know, or otherwise just
kill them, sort of like a bounty system.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, and and and and and the Indians they had
no they had no arms, they had no way to
get armed, so they got all their arms from Britain.
But but they really, uh, they were savage. Is you know,
you've probably heard and they they they they really when
they would win a battle, they would they would just
do terrible things things like put our foot bodies on steaks,
(08:02):
and when our soldiers would come in and find them,
it would just infuriate them. And really it had repercussions
way after the War of eighteen twelve, where a lot
of our generals who fought in this war just just
didn't really despise the native of Native American Indians. But
you know, there were several kind of heroes that came
out of the war and names I know but didn't
(08:25):
know very well. First was William Henry Harrison, our ninth president.
He went down to he was very successful in in
fighting at the Battle of Tippecanoe when to come so
got involved and several other battles. Andrew Jackson, our seventh president,
went down to the south of the United States, which
(08:47):
was another front where he fought the Red Sticks in
what was known as the Creek War. And and really
the star of this whole of the whole battle was
was a surprise as it was our navy. Here we
were this young country. Could we build ships and we
really we We would just take little merchant ships, fit
(09:08):
them with small guns, and we were able to run
circles around the British out in the Atlantic Ocean because
the British they were fighting France, they couldn't maintain their boats.
Their boats were all broken down, and we had several
huge winds on the seas. But this whole war, this
whole time, the Federalists and the Republicans were fighting about it,
(09:29):
and and a lot of states who were federal estates
they wouldn't send soldiers to fight outside their states. So
these we'd have these hundreds of little battles that would
come up with no soldiers, and some we would take
stab terrible losses on and uh. It was just one
of the reasons that it's been really called one of
the most unpopular wars of our time.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
So were we still fighting like as in the Revolutionary
were like with militias. I mean, we have really an
organized is American military, like Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Did we No, we'd have to go to the little
We'd have to the states. Would the states kind of
in some ways ruled the federal government. If there was
a war, we'd have to go to the governor of
that state and say, well, you send us some troops,
and the governor, if he was a Federalist, might say no,
and there were national efforts to come up. They called
it a conscription plan, which was kind of a way
(10:26):
that the states would each have to send so many
soldiers to war, but we were never able. The goal
was to have fifty thousand soldiers. Remember we only had
The nation only had five point three million people at
the time, and the largest employer, Da da da Dada
was the US Post Office. Brian, the executive branch of
the government only had one hundred and three people. Wow,
(10:50):
this kind of music to music to your ears earlier.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
And we managed to survive fight off of war and
bill ourselves as a nation with such a small kinds
of traded government.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Amazing And we didn't we didn't even need Elon Musk
to do it.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
We did. But uh, you would have to fight anything
to cut back then there was.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
There wasn't much. That's yeah, small government, what can we
say about that. But anyway, so this this whole battle
between these two parties came on and and and really
in eighteen fourteen, the Federalists tried to try to create
a move to succeed from the nation and they were
viewed as such extreme extremists at that point in time.
(11:33):
By eighteen sixteen, the Federalists had fallen apart, and really
it just became the Republican Party and soon to be
called the Democratic Party, and later on a party called
the Whigs would would would be formed. But the war
was just just uh, hundreds of battles between between you know,
groups of five hundred or a thousand soldiers and and
(11:55):
and they would just they would just fight until they
were you know, until they had run out. But thanks
to a couple of great leaders like William Henry Harris
and Andrew Jackson our navy, we were able to we
were able at least not to lose. Because the thing
about this whole war is what would have happened if
we lost Brian.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Well, sounds like we would have come back under British control.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, and and and that's kind of
why I think it's a good lesson to learn, and
that's why I'm I'm excited to teach about it tomorrow
night at the empower You session.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Well and something that I've learned today, Again, I knew
very little about it. This wasn't a war like that
I think of like that, you know, the Western Front
when you think about World War One or there wasn't
like a line over which people were fighting. This seemed
to be this seems to be like something that was
pretty much going on literally anywhere.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
It was. It was really all around what were the
United States at that point in time. And remember at
that point in time, Florida was was was Spanish owned,
and you know, the Spanish people were fighting this kind
of up north when we had this Creek uh Creek
war with the with with the with the Native Native
Americans and uh and yeah, yeah, there's a great story
(13:09):
where it to come that the Creek Indians liked, liked
the American life. They didn't want to become a part
of this this war, but to come Set traveled down
to the south to meet with the Creek Indians and
and and he met with fifty thousand Indians at the
time and convinced them they're taking away all our land.
You can't accept this. You've got to come and and
help the Indian tribes. And they did. And it was
(13:32):
just a terribly messy war with with the Native Americans
and something. You know, I've heard about Native Americans and
the Indians of my whole life, but I never really
understood how they fit into history. But but but I
do now, and uh and and you know, there were
all these little forts all around. I'm from Fort Wayne, Indiana,
(13:52):
and uh, you know, and and and and I had
I've heard about all these little forts, but they were
so important because in the case the Native Americans, since
they didn't have the weaponry, they couldn't they couldn't break
the barriers of the forts, and they were just it
was so helpful in our efforts.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Wow, well, I've certainly learned a lot in our brief
period of time. This morning and of course tomorrow evening,
geting at seven pm, you two can log in or
show up at the three hundred Great Oaks Drive and
Power You Studio at Scarlett Oaks and here Dan live
and in person. Empower You America dot org is the
place to register whether you're going to show up in
person or want to log in from home. Dan, I
(14:30):
know it's going to be a fascinating discussion. I know
you do always do a really great job studying up
on it and getting all the information out, So I
appreciate your efforts in that regard, and thanks for providing
me with a lot more. I think I know more
about the War of eighteen twelve. Now after this discussion
that I could have put together on my own before.
That's for sure. Dan, appreciate it, man, I really do.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Hey, we'd love to have anybody out there join us
tomorrow night. You can watch it from your house and
watch some of our other classes. Last night, Brian, last
night we had Francis Martell talk about China. It was
one of the most fascinating.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
All she's great.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
She just blowm she blew me away and people can
go and empower you America dot org and watch her
class and yeah, it's just we're so appreciative to you
and executive producer Joe for helping get the word about
empower you out. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Oh it's important what you're doing and fascinating and such
a wide variety of the variety of topics. You do
a great job in selecting the subject matter and lining
up terrific speakers. So anything we can do here in
the morning show, happy to do it. Dan Raganeld, God
bless you sir. Have a great week and enjoy doing the.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Seminar to our night you too, Thanks Brian.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Thanks brother eight twenty one right now at five kcy
the Dook station. Jason Williams from the Inquiry County and
Bengals Stadium Funding. He'll join us at the bottom of
the hour. Get ready to gird your loins. We are
going to be on the hook just scratching the surface
on how much at this point in time. First though,
USA it's premium phone to save you money. It's all
about saving money and improving the comfort of your own home.
(16:04):
And you'll the only regret you're ever going to have
when you get USA's foam injected into the exterier walls
of your house is that darn it? Why didn't I
do this sooner? I've had lots of listeners tell me
that over the years. So have your home inspected for
free and get a free quote inspection. If you know
your house has no insulation in the exterior walls, then
you know it should be a pretty quick inspection. If
your house is built before the mid seventies and it
(16:25):
doesn't have anything in there, and it probably won't fill
it with the foam foam made here in Ohio, no
supply chain issues with that. Your house may be under insulated.
If it was built after the mid seventies, Maybe have
an R twelve and there that deteriorates over the time
and lose some of its insulative capacity your ability. So
add the foam to the old and improve dramatically the
(16:45):
comfort and energy efficiency of your home. You'll notice it
when you get your energy built, for sure, because you're
going to save some really sizable amounts of money, and
it probably enough to cover the cost, which is only
ninety nine dollars a month interest free. That sale is
still going on, So for ninety nine bucks a month
interest free, you probably save as much as that. You'll
end up paying for it, and you continue to enjoy
(17:08):
the comfort and savings. So it's a great product. Three
eight one three six two six three eight one fun
twelve hundred dollars energy tax credit coming your way next
year when you're doing your taxes. When you do what
you should do anyway, and that's save money and improve
your comfort. Learn more online check out the website usainsallation
