My first guest on the Tami Jackson Show* tonight will be Arthur Herman.\n\nDr. Arthur Herman (Ph.D. Johns Hopkins, 1985) is the author of the New York Times bestseller How the Scots Invented the Modern World, which has sold a half million copies worldwide, and Gandhi and Churchill, which was a 2009 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.\n\nHis six other books include To Rule the Waves: How the British Navy Shaped the Modern World, which was nominated for the UK\u2019s prestigious Mountbatten Maritime Prize; Freedom\u2019s Forge, named by the Economist as one of the Best Books of 2012; and Douglas MacArthur: American Warrior.\n\nHe is currently a Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute in Washington, DC.\n\nEducated at the University of Minnesota and Johns Hopkins University in history and classics, Dr. Herman is a frequent contributor on defense, energy, and technology issues to\xa0Commentary\xa0magazine, the\xa0New York Post, National Review, and the\xa0Wall Street Journal. He was also the first non-British citizen to be named to the Scottish Arts Council from 2007 to 2009.\n\nListen as Arthur Herman and I talk about his brand new book, 1917: Lenin, Wilson, and the Birth of the New World Disorder.\n\nCovered in 1917:\n\nPresident Woodrow Wilson\u2019s idea to create a world \u201csafe for democracy\u201d ultimately failed as the world\u2019s most powerful dictatorship rose from the ashes of World War I - the Soviet Union. While his idealism was well-intentioned it established the United States as the \u201cworld\u2019s policeman,\u201d paving the way for later U.S. mishaps in Vietnam and Iraq.\nSimultaneous to Wilson\u2019s moves on the world stage, Vladimir Lenin executed both his plan to reshape the world in his Marxist image and all those who opposed it. In the name of \u201cliberating humanity,\u201d Lenin overthrew Russia\u2019s post-czar democratic revolution with his own murderous dictatorship.\nThe world Wilson and Lenin created still affects our politics and the international order we see today. Without Wilson\u2019s League of Nations, we would not have the supranational United Nations we know today nor would we have Moscow and Beijing as the epicenters of power in the East. It is these men that have set the stage for the international adversaries that dominate foreign policy a century later.\nNicholas Reynolds, author of Writer, Sailor, Soldier, Spy: Ernest Hemingway\u2019s Secret Adventures, 1935-1961, notes:\n\nArthur Herman\u2019s parallel biography of Lenin and Wilson will make the reader stop and think \u2014 about the great man theory of history and the cataclysmic events of 1917. Analyzing their legacies, Herman issues a clarion call for us to cast a wary eye on ideologues who want to remake the world, in 2017 as in 1917.\n\nThis will be fascinating as Arthur and I talk history and philosophy -- Wilson was a prominent Progressive (Socialist) and it's critical that Americans to understand the roots of Socialism, Marxism, and Progressivism, and the role they played in WWI.\n\n**********************\n\nIn the second 1/2 hour my guest will be Stephen Strang.\n\nStephen E. Strang is an award-winning journalist and successful businessman who began his career as a newspaper reporter at the Orlando Sentinel before founding a Christian publishing house and media company.\n\nStrang has interviewed and written about nearly every Christian leader in the country over the past four decades.\n\nHe is author of the book, God and Donald Trump. He joined other Christian leaders who campaigned for Trump's election.\n\nAs written in the front cover:\n\nDonald Trump is an enigma, a brash self-promoter, casino owner, and a man of the world. Yet he is also a devoted husband and father who has surrounded himself with men and women of faith and has made religion a key component of his image.\n\nGod and Donald Trump is a powerful first-person account of one of the most contentious elections in American history, with exclusive interviews and insightful commentary from the men and women who were there.\n\nStrang remarks:\n\nMost evangelical Christians did not support Donald Trump when he announced he was running for President in 2015. Why should they have? He had made a fortune in gambling.\n\nHe was thrice married, and he was known to use some pretty salty language at times\u2014hardly the model politician the religious right could enthusiastically support.\n\nAs it turned out, however, most evangelicals did get behind him in the 2016 election, giving Trump 82 percent of the evangelical vote\u2014reportedly the highest percentage ever. Since then his support from the Christian community has remained steady.\n\nStephen Strang is CEO of Charisma Media and founder of Charisma magazine. Charisma Media also\xa0publishes\xa0Ministry Today, the Spanish magazine\xa0Vida Cristiana\xa0and\xa0Christian Retailing.\n\nSteve and I will discuss Donald Trump and HOW he won 82% of the evangelical vote and what role faith now plays in his administration.\n\nFollow Arthur Herman on Twitter\xa0at\xa0@ArthurLHerman,\xa0Steve Strang on Twitter\xa0at\xa0@sstrang, and me at @tamij AND tweet your questions/comments during the show using hashtag #tjrs.\n\n*Sponsored by Rentacomputer, your premier\xa0source for Sound System rentals , by ROBAR\xae Guns, a True Custom firearms and firearms finishing shop\xa0located in Phoenix, AZ, and found online at RobarGuns.com, and by Dispatches, your site for the BEST conservative resources to fight and win the information war.
