About this listen
THE TRUTH WILL ENDURE. IT MUST.
But our history is in danger of being rewritten by the progressive left and the “woke” mob.
In PROFILES IN FREEDOM: HEROES WHO SHAPED AMERICA, Carl Higbie shines a light on the real heroes of American history.
Ronald Reagan warned in his 1989 farewell address: “If we forget what we did, we won’t know who we are. I’m warning of an eradication of the American memory that could result, ultimately, in an erosion of the American spirit.”
The “woke” mob tries to silence voices of reason. They try to remeasure by their liberal, progressive standards our historical heroes who made an impact on our country. They must redefine everything to fit their narrative. They don’t teach our actual history because they hope that by ignoring it, we will forget, for when it’s forgotten, it is effectively erased. But people should not be erased, nor should our history. We should learn from it and grow, always climbing higher than the previous generation.
Carl Higbie, a former Navy SEAL and national news anchor of Carl Higbie Frontline on Newsmax TV, believes in REAL America and the need to remember the heroes who made this country great. In Profiles in Freedom, he reintroduces some of the Americans who made this great country what it is today. People such as:
- William Penn, Ben Franklin, and George Washington
- William Clark, Samuel Colt, and Ulysses S. Grant
- Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony,
- and George Washington Carver
- And more
To simply cancel others, especially our nation’s history and the people who made this nation great, is cowardice. It is small-minded thinking. And it is futile. After all, to forget history is to repeat it. The problem is that it takes an awfully long time to get back to a point of strength.
Those who helped build this country lived and died for their ideals so that we could have a better life. The wise will not only build onto that, but they will teach their children to do the same.
“As you journey through the histories of these American heroes, my sincere hope is that you are encouraged, revitalized, and made more confident. Every history you read is really your own history, no matter when you came to this great country. We are in this together.”
—from the foreword by U.S. Sen. Markwayne Mullin

Chang believes it is time to take a page from Ronald Reagan’s playbook and work to bring down the enemy: the Communist Party. The Communist Party often talks about “win-win” solutions, but as its actions make clear, it believes there can be only one survivor, either the People’s Republic of China or the United States of America. China has a plan to destroy America. Does America have a plan to defend itself?

The War on Warriors uncovers the deep roots of our dysfunction—a society that has forgotten the men who take risks, cut through red tape, and get their hands dirty. The only kind of men prepared to face the dangers that the Left pretends don’t exist. Unlike issues of education or taxes or crime, this problem doesn’t have a zip code solution. We can’t move away from it. We can’t avoid it. We have only one Pentagon. Either we take it back or surrender it altogether.

War can settle disputes, topple tyrants, and bend the trajectory of civilization—sometimes to the breaking point. From Troy to Hiroshima, moments when war has ended in utter annihilation have reverberated through the centuries, signaling the end of political systems, cultures, and epochs. Though much has changed over the millennia, human nature remains the same. In The End of Everything, military historian Victor Davis Hanson narrates a series of sieges and sackings that span the age of antiquity to the conquest of the New World to show how societies descend into barbarism and obliteration.

I remained a Democrat for twenty years, albeit with an independent streak." Today that party is unrecognizable.

The sniper requested permission to fire. Waltz refused, insisting on restraint. The child was spared, and the position was held. Later that same day, Waltz visited a nearby Afghan village and discovered the Taliban had hanged a boy in front of his family—because the child wasn't willing to fight for them.

In Fear Itself, you’ll see that none of this is normal nor is it organic. And, most important, you’ll see that it can be defeated. Overcoming the weaponization of fear first requires recognizing it. Once we’re no longer in the dark, defeating it becomes second nature as we take back control of our lives and the destiny of our country.

Story
Picking up where he left off in his electrifying Letter to the American Church, Eric Metaxas renews and deepens his call to believers not to “practice” their faith but to live it—heroically and with joy. Invoking famous but misunderstood words of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, he shows that God’s answer to evil is “religionless Christianity”—the rejection of religiosity and the embrace of a living and active faith, one that consumes the whole person and affects every aspect of his life. The awakening of this faith will bring revival, a “new birth of freedom,” and a renaissance of Christian culture.

Today’s conservatives know what they’re against. They’re anti-woke, anti-globalist, anti-big government. But what exactly do they stand for? The fact that this is a hard question to answer is a damning indictment of the modern Republican Party which has abjectly failed to articulate an affirmative alternative to the left’s vision. Ramaswamy calls on the conservative movement to articulate exactly what it stands for, or else warns of another illusory “red wave” in 2024.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Story
Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

TO the author
This book gave me real inspiration and faith in our country. But I wish you told more about Henry Stanton. Elizebeth Cady husband. But I see you not a Replican but a bleeding heart liberal. If you did that he was working behinds the sense to get Abe Lincoln elected and helping in establishing the republican party. Being Elizebeth is my third cousin. Hope I didn't disappoint you much at all. SORRY.

An excel compilation by a potentially great man
The speaker was mediocre. Carl would have been a much better. I surely enjoy his rants on TV. Most of his heroes were people I have heard of but did not know know much about. It was a very enlightening book which should be required reading in school. He has done an excellent job of condensing the salient aspects of their lives. I have multiple degrees, but Carl prooves that a college degree isn't a requirement for success. The values expressed in this book lacking in America today. Carl's personality reflects many of these people. The country needs more people like him. I personally would like to see him move into politics and run for President. I would surely vote for him.

lots to unpack
I remember lots of these incredible people, having grown up in the 50s and 60s, but had forgotten lots of the underlying details of their contributions. And some were new to me. Who knew that U. S. Grant wasn't his given name. Same with Frederick Douglas. I'll be listening to this again!

I like the connection between the people and the logical sequence. Carl writes with an obvious love of history and a commitment to accuracy. He makes me feel like I want to know these people better.

I learned so much from Carl. His personal comments at the end of each chapter and his “questions” that he “might” have asked were wonderful.
