  • Thanksgiving Presidential Turkey Pardon Contest – With Justin Robert Young

    Thanksgiving Presidential Turkey Pardon Contest – With Justin Robert Young
    Nov 25 2025
    Ahhh... Thanksgiving … That uniquely American tradition of sitting around the bountiful dinner table, enjoying the company of family and friends, and remembering this 1955 Newsreel: "As Thanksgiving nears, a seasonal gift to President Eisenhower is this strutting, impressive 39-pound Tom Turkey. Handsomest bird in all Nebraska. And perhaps the other 47 states as well. All the trimmings for the White House dinner come with him. A big basket of cranberries to complete the holiday platter. It's a lucky bird that graces the President's table. And he's gobbling with excitement at the prospect." Sadly for handsome 39-pound Tom Turkey, his luck soon ran out. President Eisenhower ate him. Decades later, with America more enlighted, tukeys no longer get eaten. They get pardoned. Presidential pardons. These days, Thanksgiving presidential turkey pardons are big, extravagant White House events. With comical turkey names, comical turkey quips, and lots of giggles and gobbles. Which can mean only thing: It's time for an "Extreme Mortman" White House Thanksgiving Presidential Turkey Pardon Ceremony contest.

  • Presidential rhetoric after shootings and domestic attacks -- with historian Tevi Troy

    Presidential rhetoric after shootings and domestic attacks -- with historian Tevi Troy
    Nov 13 2025
    After conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated in September 2025, President Trump spoke at a memorial service at a stadium in Arizona: In that private moment, on his dying day, we find everything we need to know about who Charlie Kirk truly was. He was a missionary with a noble spirit and a great, great purpose. He did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That's where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent and I don't want the best for them. I'm sorry. I am sorry, Erika. Commenting and consoling after a shooting or domestic attack has been a ritual for every president since the early 1990s. What have presidents said each time they occurred? How has presidential rhetoric changed over the past four decades? And when do Presidents use political language — and when do they use spiritural and religious language — in their remarks? Find out in the latest episode of C-SPAN's podcast "Extreme Mortman" — as we hear every president from Bill Clinton through Donald Trump speak about shootings, domestic attacks, and the people who died. And for context and explanation, we're joined by a special guest: presidential historian Dr. Tevi Troy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
