There’s a call in some conservative circles for a strong, national leader who will be willing to subvert the red tape of the law to mete out judgment on political enemies and end the leftist stranglehold on American institutions. In desperate times, the temptation to let the ends justify the means grows more powerful. However, American history reveals that there is much folly at stake in bullying one’s way to political victories. Teddy Roosevelt offers a poignant example of a man with great character and beliefs, but whose way of making compromises for short-term wins has had perverse long-term impacts on our nation.

Join Zach as he explores Teddy Roosevelt's many talents and blunders in this fifth part of a multi-part series on lessons we can learn from American history about our modern political troubles.

About the Green Dragon Tavern Show

“Talking a little treason.” Veteran political operative Zach Lautenschlager and retired MLB pitcher Dennis Sarfate bring breaking news and inside commentary on American culture, politics and business. 

The Green Dragon Tavern is where Paul Revere and the Sons of Liberty gathered in Boston during the American Revolution. “Let us go to the Green Dragon and talk a little treason,” Founding Father Samuel Adams would say, tongue in cheek, according to legend. 

Today, the Green Dragon Tavern Show is where free men and women gather in defense of freedom.
