    DDH - Standing Armies
    2026/03/03
    On this week’s segment of Dave Does History on Bill Mick Live, we take up one of the most overlooked, and most explosive, phrases in the Declaration of Independence: “He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.” It is easy to skim past those words. It is much harder to understand why they burned. Why were the American colonists so deeply unsettled by the presence of British troops? Why did red coats in Boston streets feel less like protection and more like occupation? And why did Jefferson and the other founders see a standing army not simply as a policy disagreement, but as a direct threat to liberty itself? In this episode, we trace the fear of standing armies back through English history, from Charles I to James II, and show how those lessons shaped colonial resistance. We explore the debt of the Seven Years War, the Quartering Act, the Boston Massacre, and the constitutional compromises that followed independence. This is not just a story about muskets and marches. It is a story about power, memory, and the uneasy balance between security and freedom.

  • It's Never "What." It's ALWAYS "Who."

    It's Never "What." It's ALWAYS "Who."
    2026/03/01
    Welcome to What the Frock?, the podcast where current events meet common sense, and occasionally get audited by artificial intelligence. This week we cover a little light material, including presidential war powers, selective political outrage, international air defenses, and whether your emergency room visit secretly financed new hospital drapes. You know, the usual Sunday conversation. We begin with the War Powers Act of 1973 and the timeless American tradition of loving executive authority when your team holds it and denouncing it when the other team does. Somehow, every president questions the constitutionality of the law while also using it. It is a bipartisan magic trick. Then we shift to something even more unsettling: Dave’s ER bill. After a two-minute consultation and one warm blanket, the invoice arrived with the enthusiasm of a small mortgage. Enter ChatGPT, which calmly suggested strategy over outrage. The machines are not taking over the world yet, but they may be coming for hospital billing departments. We also touch on budget chaos in Washington State, a legislator who may have personally tested the DUI threshold debate, and why “it was bots” is the new political defense strategy. All that, plus music, sarcasm, and just enough skepticism to keep things interesting.

  • The Cork Expedition - Old Mother Covington Part II)

    The Cork Expedition - Old Mother Covington Part II)
    2026/02/25
    Last time, we stood at Moore’s Creek Bridge and listened to Old Mother Covington speak. In three violent minutes, a Loyalist rising collapsed and Governor Josiah Martin’s promise of ten thousand men dissolved into smoke and swamp water. But that battle was only half the story. Three thousand miles away, in Cork, Ireland, the British Empire was assembling the force that was supposed to make Moore’s Creek irrelevant. Seven regiments. Artillery. Royal confidence. This was the hammer meant to fall in coordination with that uprising and split the colonies in half. On paper, it looked elegant. Cheap victory. Minimal commitment. Maximum effect. Instead, Cork became a lesson in delay, delusion, and the dangers of believing your own optimism. Recruiting faltered. Ships were scarce. Deadlines slipped from December to January to February. When the fleet finally sailed, it ran straight into the wrath of the Atlantic. Storms scattered the convoy. Transports sank. Soldiers drowned before they ever saw America. This episode is the other side of Moore’s Creek. The British side. The paper army. The missed signals. The pride that refused to turn back. Old Mother Covington did not win the war that morning. But Cork made sure Britain never had the chance.
