Radio Ranch with Roger Sayles LIVE 010926,. From 1823 to Today: Monroe, Media, and the Making of a Free People

Host Roger Sayles kicks off a live Friday show with production notes (a PodHome upload hiccup delaying titles/dates) and a birthday shout‑out to longtime friend Brent Bachman, before settling in with co‑host Brent Allen Winters. We reflect on early‑’26 headlines and then dive deep: the origins and purpose of the Monroe Doctrine, the Holy Alliance context of 1823, and how America’s common‑law tradition prizes due process over result‑driven rule. From there, the conversation widens into media and idolatry—why television and moving images can distort worship and public discourse (Postman, Muggeridge), why radio reveals character, and how “what we give our time and attention to” forms us. Callers join with personal testimonies and questions about church, Freemasonry, and living out faith in a corrupted culture. We revisit Tupper Saussy’s work (Rulers of Evil; Miracle on Main Street), Witherspoon’s influence on Madison, and resources Winters is teaching through at CommonLawyer.com (including Stansbury’s 1828 constitutional catechism). We close with how to listen live on our partner networks and a reminder about Saturday’s interactive “Radio Ranch” session.'Global Voice Radio Network (site)': https://www.globalvoiceradio.net/'Euro Folk Radio (network)': https://eurofolkradio.com/'Radio Soapbox (Paul English)': https://stream.radiosoapbox.com/'Republic Broadcasting Network (RBN)': https://republicbroadcasting.org/'Brent Allen Winters – The Common Lawyer': https://commonlawyer.com/'Neil Postman – Amusing Ourselves to Death (publisher page)': https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/297276/amusing-ourselves-to-death-by-neil-postman/'Malcolm Muggeridge – Biography (Britannica)': https://www.britannica.com/biography/Malcolm-Muggeridge'Kerry Livgren – Official site (Numavox)': https://www.numavox.com/bio.htm'AD (band) – Overview': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AD_%28band%29'Arthur J.
