George H.W. Bush 1992 The Changing of the Guard
Randal Wallace Presents : "George H. W. Bush" a five season look back at his extraordinary life, career, and his single term as President of the United States. A term that saw the high point of American Leadership around the world. In our 14th Season , we will look back at one of the most exciting election years in history. It should have been easier, George Bush had freed the world of Communism and managed the fall of a superpower without having the world fall into violent chaos. A truly remarkable achievement in World History.
At one point George Bush had a 91% approval rating, By the end of 1992, he would lose his reelection bid. This is that story and in it you will see the foundational beginnings of the very "America First", "Make America Great Again" movement that so dominates our politics in 2024 in the form of Donald Trump. We will watch the changing of the guard as the Vietnam Generation leads a campaign in 1992 to transfer power from the generation of leadership that won the Cold War, to those who protested the Vietnam War in the streets of America . In the forefront of that campaign we witness arguably the greatest campaigner to ever set foot on the trail in Arkansas Governor, Bill Clinton.
We invite you to come along with us on a wild ride through the high points and low moments of modern American History, in an effort to show the citizens of today that we are an amazing and resilient nation.

Episode 213 JIMMY CARTER (Part 23) The Iranian Hostage Crisis Show 2: Operation Eagle Claw
In the second episode of the long saga that would be the Iranian hostage crisis, we watch as Jimmy Carter attempts to take action into his own hands. Carter orders a rescue attempt of the hostages in Iran, Operation Eagle Claw. An operation run by an Horry County Native named General James Vaught.
Operation Eagle Claw would be an operation in which it can be described best as "if it can go wrong it will" type of a military operation. It was described on Wikipedia here:
"The operation, one of Delta Force's first,[2] encountered many obstacles and failures and was subsequently aborted. Eight helicopters were sent to the first staging area called Desert One, but only five arrived in operational condition.[3] One had encountered hydraulic problems, another was caught in a sand storm, and the third showed signs of a cracked rotor blade. During the operational planning, it was decided that the mission would be aborted if fewer than six helicopters remained operational upon arrival at the Desert One site, despite only four being absolutely necessary.[3] In a move that is still discussed in military circles, the field commanders advised President Carter to abort the mission, which he did.[4]
As the U.S. forces prepared to withdraw from Desert One, one of the remaining helicopters crashed into a transport aircraft that contained both servicemen and jet fuel. The resulting fire destroyed both aircraft and killed eight servicemen.[3]
In the context of the Iranian Revolution, Iran's new leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, stated that the mission had been stopped by an act of God ("angels of God") who had foiled the U.S. mission in order to protect Iran and his new Islamist government. "
It helped seal Jimmy Carter's electoral fate, and the hostage crisis continued for 9 more grueling months......
