Speaker 1: So it's a little bit different.
Speaker 2: Every day is different, the story is a little bit different.
Speaker 1: Different things are happening every day.
Speaker 3: It's the source that's the same, always been the same.

Speaker 2: Atherton, isn't he brilliant? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And Donovan too. It was like a double play. No,
Speaker 1: Jack is always really great, too, great to hear and
Speaker 1: gives you something to think about. I think I'm going
Speaker 1: to need an extra cup of coffee for that.
Speaker 2: I know, I know. He just it's food for thought
Speaker 2: and things you can contemplate for a long time, and
Speaker 2: I just always look forward to it. It's funny you
Speaker 2: bring him up, because every time he comes on, I
Speaker 2: get quite a few emails saying God, this guy is
Speaker 2: so great. I love having him. I love you having
Speaker 2: him on every week. So props to Jack add And
Speaker 2: I know he puts a lot of thought and effort
Speaker 2: into his commentary on the Morning show. And real quick,
Speaker 2: before we get to your empower You seminar, which has
Speaker 2: taken place tomorrow night, seven pm live or in person
Speaker 2: in the empower You Studio is now at Scarlet Oaks
Speaker 2: three hundred Great Oaks Drive, or you can log in
Speaker 2: from the comfort of your own home. Just make sure
Speaker 2: your register go to empower You America dot org because
Speaker 2: he's going to be doing a seminar on the War
Speaker 2: of eighteen twelve, how close the nation came to falling apart.
Speaker 2: But real quick, before you get to that, I know
Speaker 2: you're a champion, yet you've been involved in so many
Speaker 2: issues political you go back a lot of years champion
Speaker 2: of education choice, and I wanted to direct your attention
Speaker 2: to an op ed piece that appeared in the Wall
Speaker 2: Street Journal this morning, Ohio's school choice success story. They
Speaker 2: did some number crunching over the years since Ohio's educational
Speaker 2: Choice scholarship program kicked in two thousand and five, and
Speaker 2: it has had wonderful results. Most notably, they said groups
Speaker 2: that benefit of the most were blacks boys, students who
Speaker 2: experienced long term childhood poverty, and students with below medium
Speaker 2: test scores before leaving public school. So in college enrollment,
Speaker 2: applications went up, test scores went up, all because of
Speaker 2: school choice. So I want to applaud your efforts in
Speaker 2: the past on that and just bring that to your
Speaker 2: attention if you want to do to read it and
Speaker 2: see that actually we've made some great inroads in the
Speaker 2: education area of the state.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, Brian, things in Ohio sometimes they move
Speaker 1: a little slower than I like them to move. But
Speaker 1: there's been so many grassroots people in Ohio that have
Speaker 1: fought for school choice, and to see it working out
Speaker 1: is really I mean, I think of people like Dan Peters,
Speaker 1: and I think of groups in Columbus that have all
Speaker 1: come to empower you and talked about it things, and
Speaker 1: it's just so great to see it taking off. Now.
Speaker 1: I know the other side is complaining now that the
Speaker 1: cost is too high and we can't afford it, and
Speaker 1: we just have to keep the upward progress going to
Speaker 1: just keep on improving education and house So I can't
Speaker 1: wait to read the article.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we can't afford it. If you're gonna
Speaker 2: put money towards something and you get great results, and
Speaker 2: you get better educated children who might very well set
Speaker 2: up shop in Ohio and build successful businesses, isn't that
Speaker 2: better for us in the long run than throwing money
Speaker 2: in a lot of other stupid things. That was a
Speaker 2: rhetorical question there.
Speaker 1: And I think it's called our own money, isn't it, Brian.
Speaker 2: Yes, it is, Yes, it is all right. Now, I
Speaker 2: will admit my ignorance. I know about the War of
Speaker 2: eighteen twelve, but I don't really know much about how
Speaker 2: it got started. And I've always heard it had wildly
Speaker 2: could have had profound implications for the future of our country.
Speaker 2: But you know, just looking at your fact sheet that
Speaker 2: gives you a little insight into the seminar itself, which
Speaker 2: my listeners can find at Empower Youoamerica Dot org Man.
Speaker 2: And I had no idea it was a byproduct of
Speaker 2: the Napoleonic Wars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you know that's the reason I'm doing the class. Brian.
Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about it, and it's such an interesting,
Speaker 1: interesting story of how close the nation actually came to
Speaker 1: falling apart. We had the Federalists, the people that wrote
Speaker 1: the constitution, people like Washington Adams, Hamilton, John Jay, and
Speaker 1: they were in mostly the New England States, and their
Speaker 1: opposition was the Republican Party, which was later to become
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. I know, that's kind of confusing. And
Speaker 1: they had people like Thomas Jefferson, who our third president
Speaker 1: who broke away, and then James Madison, which really this
Speaker 1: war all revolves around. It was called by many mister
Speaker 1: Madison's War, and people like John Calhoun and Henry Clay.
Speaker 1: And what really happened was this is all about britt
Speaker 1: Great Britain. Forgetting that we won the Revolutionary War and
Speaker 1: that we were a sovereign nation. We started doing things
Speaker 1: to us in the seas to really really interfere with
Speaker 1: interfere with the state. The biggest thing they did was
Speaker 1: called impressment, where they would board our boats and they
Speaker 1: would try to look for deserted British soldiers and they
Speaker 1: would actually take our people and make them and put
Speaker 1: them on their boats and make them work for them.
Speaker 1: There were ten about ten thousand US American citizens that
Speaker 1: ended up on British boats. And then they started they
Speaker 1: came out. Britain was always at war with France, and
Speaker 1: we were kind of friendly with France for them. This
Speaker 1: goes back into my history days. In eighteen o three
Speaker 1: we got the Louisiana purchase from the French, which was
Speaker 1: a huge squath of land west of Indiana eight hundred
Speaker 1: thousand I think square miles. But Britain hated France and
Speaker 1: was in war with them. And Britain came out and said, anybody,
Speaker 1: we're going to put rules nobody can trade with France.
Speaker 1: And that kind of series of events led us to
Speaker 1: eventually declare war. And Madison really had had two goals.
Speaker 1: He wanted to expand the physical territory to gain more
Speaker 1: open markets, and he wanted to expand our trading opportunities.
Speaker 1: And in the first place, the war was really fought
Speaker 1: on three fronts Canada. So maybe Trump might want to
Speaker 1: revisit this because this was the first time we invaded
Speaker 1: Canada or wanted to take it over, and it was
Speaker 1: just a miserable failure. We tried three times to invade Canada.
Speaker 1: We had bad generals, they hadn't ever had to travel
Speaker 1: to fight, which was new to them, and we just
Speaker 1: we it was just just just a complete failure. And
Speaker 1: one of the interesting things about this whole war was
Speaker 1: our involvement with the Native Americans. There was a battle
Speaker 1: of type Canoe in eighteen eleven and that Tecumso was
Speaker 1: involved in. And Tecumso is really and his tribes, the
Speaker 1: Indian tribes were really irated the Americans because we kept
Speaker 1: taking over their territory like Indiana, Illinois, Ohio. And uh,
Speaker 1: he was enraged also we had killed his father and
Speaker 1: because of that, Tecumpsa decided to bring all the Indians
Speaker 1: in with Britain to fight against us.
Speaker 2: Wow, it was you know. That's one thing I learned
Speaker 2: from Peter Brownson with his book is that the British
Speaker 2: would work with the Indians to attack the American settlers
Speaker 2: and kidnap them and otherwise, you know, or otherwise just
Speaker 2: kill them, sort of like a bounty system.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and and and and and the Indians they had
Speaker 1: no they had no arms, they had no way to
Speaker 1: get armed, so they got all their arms from Britain.
Speaker 1: But but they really, uh, they were savage. Is you know,
Speaker 1: you've probably heard and they they they they really when
Speaker 1: they would win a battle, they would they would just
Speaker 1: do terrible things things like put our foot bodies on steaks,
Speaker 1: and when our soldiers would come in and find them,
Speaker 1: it would just infuriate them. And really it had repercussions
Speaker 1: way after the War of eighteen twelve, where a lot
Speaker 1: of our generals who fought in this war just just
Speaker 1: didn't really despise the native of Native American Indians. But
Speaker 1: you know, there were several kind of heroes that came
Speaker 1: out of the war and names I know but didn't
Speaker 1: know very well. First was William Henry Harrison, our ninth president.
Speaker 1: He went down to he was very successful in in
Speaker 1: fighting at the Battle of Tippecanoe when to come so
Speaker 1: got involved and several other battles. Andrew Jackson, our seventh president,
Speaker 1: went down to the south of the United States, which
Speaker 1: was another front where he fought the Red Sticks in
Speaker 1: what was known as the Creek War. And and really
Speaker 1: the star of this whole of the whole battle was
Speaker 1: was a surprise as it was our navy. Here we
Speaker 1: were this young country. Could we build ships and we
Speaker 1: really we We would just take little merchant ships, fit
Speaker 1: them with small guns, and we were able to run
Speaker 1: circles around the British out in the Atlantic Ocean because
Speaker 1: the British they were fighting France, they couldn't maintain their boats.
Speaker 1: Their boats were all broken down, and we had several
Speaker 1: huge winds on the seas. But this whole war, this
Speaker 1: whole time, the Federalists and the Republicans were fighting about it,
Speaker 1: and and a lot of states who were federal estates
Speaker 1: they wouldn't send soldiers to fight outside their states. So
Speaker 1: these we'd have these hundreds of little battles that would
Speaker 1: come up with no soldiers, and some we would take
Speaker 1: stab terrible losses on and uh. It was just one
Speaker 1: of the reasons that it's been really called one of
Speaker 1: the most unpopular wars of our time.
Speaker 2: So were we still fighting like as in the Revolutionary
Speaker 2: were like with militias. I mean, we have really an
Speaker 2: organized is American military, like Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines.
Speaker 1: Did we No, we'd have to go to the little
Speaker 1: We'd have to the states. Would the states kind of
Speaker 1: in some ways ruled the federal government. If there was
Speaker 1: a war, we'd have to go to the governor of
Speaker 1: that state and say, well, you send us some troops,
Speaker 1: and the governor, if he was a Federalist, might say no,
Speaker 1: and there were national efforts to come up. They called
Speaker 1: it a conscription plan, which was kind of a way
Speaker 1: that the states would each have to send so many
Speaker 1: soldiers to war, but we were never able. The goal
Speaker 1: was to have fifty thousand soldiers. Remember we only had
Speaker 1: The nation only had five point three million people at
Speaker 1: the time, and the largest employer, Da da da Dada
Speaker 1: was the US Post Office. Brian, the executive branch of
Speaker 1: the government only had one hundred and three people. Wow,
Speaker 1: this kind of music to music to your ears earlier.
Speaker 2: And we managed to survive fight off of war and
Speaker 2: bill ourselves as a nation with such a small kinds
Speaker 2: of traded government.
Speaker 1: Amazing And we didn't we didn't even need Elon Musk
Speaker 1: to do it.
Speaker 2: We did. But uh, you would have to fight anything
Speaker 2: to cut back then there was.
Speaker 1: There wasn't much. That's yeah, small government, what can we
Speaker 1: say about that. But anyway, so this this whole battle
Speaker 1: between these two parties came on and and and really
Speaker 1: in eighteen fourteen, the Federalists tried to try to create
Speaker 1: a move to succeed from the nation and they were
Speaker 1: viewed as such extreme extremists at that point in time.
Speaker 1: By eighteen sixteen, the Federalists had fallen apart, and really
Speaker 1: it just became the Republican Party and soon to be
Speaker 1: called the Democratic Party, and later on a party called
Speaker 1: the Whigs would would would be formed. But the war
Speaker 1: was just just uh, hundreds of battles between between you know,
Speaker 1: groups of five hundred or a thousand soldiers and and
Speaker 1: and they would just they would just fight until they
Speaker 1: were you know, until they had run out. But thanks
Speaker 1: to a couple of great leaders like William Henry Harris
Speaker 1: and Andrew Jackson our navy, we were able to we
Speaker 1: were able at least not to lose. Because the thing
Speaker 1: about this whole war is what would have happened if
Speaker 1: we lost Brian.
Speaker 2: Well, sounds like we would have come back under British control.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, and and and that's kind of
Speaker 1: why I think it's a good lesson to learn, and
Speaker 1: that's why I'm I'm excited to teach about it tomorrow
Speaker 1: night at the empower You session.
Speaker 2: Well and something that I've learned today, Again, I knew
Speaker 2: very little about it. This wasn't a war like that
Speaker 2: I think of like that, you know, the Western Front
Speaker 2: when you think about World War One or there wasn't
Speaker 2: like a line over which people were fighting. This seemed
Speaker 2: to be this seems to be like something that was
Speaker 2: pretty much going on literally anywhere.
Speaker 1: It was. It was really all around what were the
Speaker 1: United States at that point in time. And remember at
Speaker 1: that point in time, Florida was was was Spanish owned,
Speaker 1: and you know, the Spanish people were fighting this kind
Speaker 1: of up north when we had this Creek uh Creek
Speaker 1: war with the with with the with the Native Native
Speaker 1: Americans and uh and yeah, yeah, there's a great story
Speaker 1: where it to come that the Creek Indians liked, liked
Speaker 1: the American life. They didn't want to become a part
Speaker 1: of this this war, but to come Set traveled down
Speaker 1: to the south to meet with the Creek Indians and
Speaker 1: and and he met with fifty thousand Indians at the
Speaker 1: time and convinced them they're taking away all our land.
Speaker 1: You can't accept this. You've got to come and and
Speaker 1: help the Indian tribes. And they did. And it was
Speaker 1: just a terribly messy war with with the Native Americans
Speaker 1: and something. You know, I've heard about Native Americans and
Speaker 1: the Indians of my whole life, but I never really
Speaker 1: understood how they fit into history. But but but I
Speaker 1: do now, and uh and and you know, there were
Speaker 1: all these little forts all around. I'm from Fort Wayne, Indiana,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, and and and and I had
Speaker 1: I've heard about all these little forts, but they were
Speaker 1: so important because in the case the Native Americans, since
Speaker 1: they didn't have the weaponry, they couldn't they couldn't break
Speaker 1: the barriers of the forts, and they were just it
Speaker 1: was so helpful in our efforts.
Speaker 2: Wow, well, I've certainly learned a lot in our brief
Speaker 2: period of time. This morning and of course tomorrow evening,
Speaker 2: geting at seven pm, you two can log in or
Speaker 2: show up at the three hundred Great Oaks Drive and
Speaker 2: Power You Studio at Scarlett Oaks and here Dan live

Speaker 2: you do always do a really great job studying up
Speaker 2: on it and getting all the information out, So I
Speaker 2: appreciate your efforts in that regard, and thanks for providing
Speaker 2: me with a lot more. I think I know more
Speaker 2: about the War of eighteen twelve. Now after this discussion
Speaker 2: that I could have put together on my own before.

Speaker 1: Seminar to our night you too, Thanks Brian.
Speaker 2: Thanks brother eight twenty one right now at five kcy
Speaker 2: the Dook station. Jason Williams from the Inquiry County and
Speaker 2: Bengals Stadium Funding. He'll join us at the bottom of
Speaker 2: the hour. Get ready to gird your loins. We are
Speaker 2: going to be on the hook just scratching the surface
Speaker 2: on how much at this point in time. First though,
Speaker 2: USA it's premium phone to save you money. It's all
Speaker 2: about saving money and improving the comfort of your own home.
Speaker 2: And you'll the only regret you're ever going to have
Speaker 2: when you get USA's foam injected into the exterier walls
Speaker 2: of your house is that darn it? Why didn't I
Speaker 2: do this sooner? I've had lots of listeners tell me
Speaker 2: that over the years. So have your home inspected for
Speaker 2: free and get a free quote inspection. If you know
Speaker 2: your house has no insulation in the exterior walls, then
Speaker 2: you know it should be a pretty quick inspection. If
Speaker 2: your house is built before the mid seventies and it
Speaker 2: doesn't have anything in there, and it probably won't fill
Speaker 2: it with the foam foam made here in Ohio, no
Speaker 2: supply chain issues with that. Your house may be under insulated.
Speaker 2: If it was built after the mid seventies, Maybe have
Speaker 2: an R twelve and there that deteriorates over the time
Speaker 2: and lose some of its insulative capacity your ability. So
Speaker 2: add the foam to the old and improve dramatically the
Speaker 2: comfort and energy efficiency of your home. You'll notice it
Speaker 2: when you get your energy built, for sure, because you're
Speaker 2: going to save some really sizable amounts of money, and
Speaker 2: it probably enough to cover the cost, which is only
Speaker 2: ninety nine dollars a month interest free. That sale is
Speaker 2: still going on, So for ninety nine bucks a month
Speaker 2: interest free, you probably save as much as that. You'll
Speaker 2: end up paying for it, and you continue to enjoy
Speaker 2: the comfort and savings. So it's a great product. Three
Speaker 2: eight one three six two six three eight one fun
Speaker 2: twelve hundred dollars energy tax credit coming your way next
Speaker 2: year when you're doing your taxes. When you do what
Speaker 2: you should do anyway, and that's save money and improve
Speaker 2: your comfort. Learn more online check out the website usainsallation
