À propos de ce contenu audio

Welcome to The United States of Amnesia, a podcast exploring the lessons we’ve forgotten, misunderstood, or never learned. As the saying goes, history repeats itself. Mark Twain allegedly refined this: “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes.” Yet over time, history, politics, and religion have been distorted by bias, oversimplification, and myth.

Misunderstanding the past means misreading the present and misstepping into the future. This podcast aims to cut through the fog, reconnecting past and present to help us think more clearly about the world we’re in, and the one we're heading toward. Join us as we delve into the great struggle of humanity: to reconcile who we were with who we are becoming.

    • America First - Part 1 (1880-1916)
      Sep 30 2025

      Episode 101: In our premiere episode, Marshall, Blake, and Mike begin a series on the America First movement. Marshall takes us through the movement’s development from the earliest use of the term “America First” in the 1880s, when it advocated the protection of economic and business interests, to a growing emphasis on deeper issues of American identity, notions of American cultural and ethnic purity and a yearning for a return to an earlier, more rural time in the face of increasing immigration, the rise of organized labor, entanglements in European affairs, The Birth of a Nation, the rise of the “second” Ku Klux Klan, the 1916 election, and America’s entry into World War I.
