The Glorious Fourth
The American Miracle with Michael Medved
07/29/24 • 51 min
The fiftieth anniversary "Jubilee" celebration of American Independence (July 4th, 1826) brings a startling development that convinces a new nation of its providential protection. On that festive day, the two patriotic heroes most responsible for declaring independence—Thomas Jefferson and John Adams—both lived to share in the festivities, but passed into eternity before the end of that same Glorious Fourth. Daniel Webster, the greatest orator of the era, and contemporary historians calculate the odds against such an undirected coincidence as utterly overwhelming.

The Reaper and the Bull Moose
The American Miracle with Michael Medved
09/02/24 • 25 min
Donald Trump wasn't the only president to attempt a return trip to the White House four years after he'd left the presidency. Theodore Roosevelt attempted his own comeback in 1912 and, like Trump, he was hit by a would-be assassin's bullet in the midst of his campaign. For TR, the shooting was nearly fatal - with only his glasses case and the folded pages his planned speech stop stopping the bullet from reaching his heart. Bleeding profusely, he insisted on delivering his address in any event -- one of the more bizarre political rallies in our history. The remarkable story, revealing TR's haunting, lifelong connection to death, is told in THE REAPER AND THE BULLMOOSE, the latest episode in our American Miracle podcast series.

Golden Timing
The American Miracle with Michael Medved
07/08/24 • 70 min
On a crisp January morning in the forested foothills of the Sierra Nevada, in part of the remote Mexican province of California, a frontier carpenter spotted a few shiny pebbles in a drainage ditch. Little did he know that in the same week he validated his discovery as unusually pure gold, the suddenly valuable territory passed from Mexican possession to that of the United States. The result: the most rapid mass migration in American history and a transformation that led the young nation to a fateful rise in economic power. As one observer noted at the time, "It had been so ordered by Providence that the gold might not be discovered until California should be in the hands of the Americans.”
The peace treaty with Mexico that ended the Mexican War was negotiated by one of the great unsung heroes of our history, Nicholas Trist. A former aide to James Madison and Andrew Jackson, married to Thomas Jefferson's granddaughter, Trist defied a president and risked arrest. As chief clerk of the State Department, with no official sanction, he broke every rule to make the monumental deal that changed the world.

Two Close Calls
The American Miracle with Michael Medved
07/01/24 • 46 min
Within the span of fourteen fateful months in the early 1930s, two bloody American encounters nearly killed both the remarkable individuals most essential for Allied victory in World War II. As a pedestrian, Winston Churchill barely survived a life-threatening encounter with a speeding car on New York's Fifth Avenue while Franklin Roosevelt, as president-elect, came within inches of an assassin's bullet, nearly ending the FDR administration before it even began. Both survivors always acknowledged the providential nature of their escapes from doom, and leading historians and even acclaimed novelists have speculated about how shifts of literal inches might have altered the fate of all of humanity. This podcast provides the astonishing story of two close calls that saved the world.

The Rough Rider and His "Crowded Hour"
The American Miracle with Michael Medved
09/16/24 • 63 min
How did Theodore Roosevelt go from the worst day of his life—with the simultaneous death of his adored wife and beloved mother—to celebration as a national hero on his path to the presidency at the unprecedented age of 41? This astonishing progress displayed reckless, almost suicidal courage on the battlefield and a strange, almost supernatural sense of his own invincibility. Eyewitnesses and close friends who watched his mounted charge up San Juan Hill, leading his colorful, unconventional regiment into seemingly lethal enemy lines to win the decisive battle of the Spanish-American War, saw his success as an open miracle. Concerning his previous day of grief, TR said: "Black Care rarely sits behind a rider whose pace is fast enough." Young Roosevelt illustrated that maxim in his dramatic rise to power.
