It presents a conservative, patriotic perspective on America’s past and argues that understanding earlier generations is essential to preserving the nation’s ideals.

  • 102 - THE RANGER WHO STRUCK FIRST | Capt. Jack Hays (Texas Ranger) | Mexican War 28.10.2026 14m
    Captain Jack Hays and 14 Texas Rangers were riding the frontier when attacked by a large force of Comanche warriors on ponies painted for war. The Rangers were badly outnumbered.   Normally, the sensible response would be to retreat. But Captain Jack Hays ordered his fifteen men, pistols in hand, to gallop directly into the enemy warriors.   The Rangers had recently acquired Colt Paterson revolving, multi-shot pistols. Though primitive by later standards, they were new and deadly on the frontier in 1844. And Captain Jack understood something more. The Comanche did not like surprises.   Up close, the Rangers unleashed rapid pistol fire. The Comanche, never seeing such weapons before, fled.   The outcome enhanced the can-do reputation of the Texas Rangers.   And that was Captain Jack Hays. Always a gentleman, but when danger appeared, something changed in his countenance.   His men discovered their quiet captain possessed extraordinary courage, coolness under fire, and a faith in his ability that could not be stopped...   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   93 - "LORD, HELP ME SAVE JUST ONE MORE..." | Desmond Doss (Army Medic + Conscientious Objector) | WWII 86 - THE BULLET JUST MISSED HIS HEART | Ronald Reagan (US President) | 1911-2004 49 - THE SPY CONFEDERATES NEVER SUSPECTED… | Elizabeth “Crazy Bet” Van Lew (Union Spy) | Civil War   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: Rick@TheLegacyGen.com -Website: thelegacygen.com -Find our video episodes on YouTube   Texas Rangers / Mexican War / Comanches / Republic of Texas / California
  • 101 - THE HERO WHO BEHEADED A KING | Oliver Cromwell (English Statesman + Soldier) | 1600s 21.10.2026 14m
    What England’s King Charles I was charged with was absolutely revolutionary for the time. That royalty was not above the law. That kings could not do whatever they wanted.   Government and kings, Oliver Cromwell and his parliamentary allies argued, existed solely to benefit the people, not simply for personal power, enrichment, or honor. And to press this revolutionary concept, Oliver Cromwell was willing to go to war.   But in the end, after a bloody civil war, the royal forces of King Charles I were defeated and Parliament’s Army, led by Cromwell, prevailed, establishing a Republic and the world would never be the same. King Charles I was beheaded for treason, a first for an English king or queen.   England’s monarch (Charles’ son) would return to England and the Republic Cromwell wanted was later dissolved, but the path to freedom and limiting royal power was set in motion for all time, that Divine concept spreading to the American Colonies.   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   93 - "LORD, HELP ME SAVE JUST ONE MORE..." | Desmond Doss (Army Medic + Conscientious Objector) | WWII 87 - YOUNG WASHINGTON: Should You See It?... 🎥 *Movie Review* 78 - SAVING THE UNION AT GETTYSBURG | Gen.

  • 100 - THE "WHITE MOUSE" THAT ROARED | Nancy Wake (Allied Spy) | WWII 14.10.2026 11m
    The German Gestapo were closing in. She felt her heart pounding in her chest.   The Allied spy Nancy Wake crouched in the darkness, listening to the sound of boots shambling through the French countryside. There was not much time…   Nancy Grace Wake would become one of the most decorated Allied servicewomen of World War II. Known as the “White Mouse” for her uncanny ability to evade capture, she transitioned from a cosmopolitan journalist into a high-ranking courier for the French Resistance and, later, a spy in Britain's Special Operations Executive (SOE).   Her intelligence, military leadership, and personal skill and bravery made her a pivotal figure in covert Allied operations, particularly in the months leading up to and following the Allies’ D-Day invasion of Nazi occupied Europe.   Yet, throughout her struggle against pure evil, Nancy never forgot who she was fighting and why…   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   50 - THE GREAT ESCAPE FROM LIBBY PRISON | Lt.

  • 99 - THE NIGHTCLUB HOSTESS WHO STOOD AGAINST THE JAPANESE | Claire Maybelle Phillips (American Spy) | WWII 07.10.2026 13m
    The Japanese had no idea the woman entertaining them was using the money they spent at her nightclub to secretly help American prisoners survive the brutal conditions in the POW camps.   That was Claire Maybelle Phillips. The secret American who had turned her nightclub into a weapon of war.   Claire found out that her husband Phil had been captured. She used her skill and bribery to gain access to the American POW camps, trying to help her husband.   But on May 23, 1944, Kempei-Tai (Japanese Secret Police) stormed Club Tsubaki and arrested Claire. For five months she endured brutal torture.   But Claire refused to betray the Philippine Resistance and the American soldiers being held in Japanese prison camps. She would fight to the end hoping that America had not forgotten her…   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   50 - THE GREAT ESCAPE FROM LIBBY PRISON | Lt.

  • 98 - THE JACK REACHER OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION | Peter Francisco (Continental Army) | Revolutionary War 30.09.2026 14m
    His story of raw strength against impossible odds reveals a hero who history has a hard time explaining. Many wondered if Peter Francisco was an actual human being or something more. Like Biblical Samson, he appeared when needed to help defeat the enemies of freedom.   In 1776, at only sixteen years of age, a boy who began life as an orphan, joined the 10th Virginia Regiment of the Continental Army. He fought throughout the war, was wounded many times, but defeated in desperate hand-to-hand combat scores of the enemy, including facing Colonel Banister Tarelton’s Dragoons in a desperate fight, alone, heavily outnumbered.   The British knew of this giant American rebel, and tried to capture or kill him. And though severely wounded and once left for dead, Peter Francisco refused to die.   After the war Peter passed with little of this life’s possessions, though as a veteran and war hero, he died highly respect by his neighbors and friends. The perfect American hero. Unsung, yet honorable to the end.   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   82 - HE EXPECTED TO SACRIFICE HIMSELF... | Lt.

  • 97 - INSPIRING AMERICA'S FOUNDERS... | Algernon Sydney (English Politician) | 1600s 23.09.2026 14m
    At dawn King Charles II’s soldiers forced their way into Algernon Sydney’s home in Northumberland, England, charging him with “treason against the Crown.”   Sydney was convicted for his beliefs, his thoughts, for his love of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for the common citizen, then marched to the gallows.   But Algernon Sydney’s writings, and the God-given truth he died for, would go on to inspire our Founders who, later, struggling in the face of overwhelming odds, published the Declaration of Independence to a shackled world. Then the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.   Sydney’s works became, in the end, the “Textbook of the American Revolution.”   Thomas Jefferson channeled Algernon Sydney. So did John Adams (and, of course, Abigail Adams).   Sydney’s contribution to freedom—as forgotten a hero as I have known—cannot be overstated. For he helped our Founders discover and embrace the God-given gift of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness!   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   32 - THE PURE SON OF LIBERTY | Thaddeus Kosciuszko (Military Engineer) | Revolutionary War 41 - AMERICA'S FATHERLESS, ORPHANED HERO | Alexander Hamilton (Founding Father) | Revolutionary War 43 - CREATING AMERICA'S BATTLE HYMN | Julia Ward Howe (Poet/Abolitionist) | Civil War   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: Rick@TheLegacyGen.com -Website: thelegacygen.com -Find our video episodes on YouTube   Freedom / Personal Liberty / Founding Fathers / American Revolution / Opposing Tyranny
  • 96 - WHAT 9/11 TEACHES AMERICANS TODAY *Special 25th Anniversary Tribute* 16.09.2026 9m
    Twenty-five years ago, on September 11, 2001, something happened to America that I hope we never forget.   Firefighters and police ran into danger trying to save lives.   Flight attendants and passengers fought terrorists with nothing but their bare hands.   Americans lined up to give blood.   And for a little while, the arguments stopped and an incredible miracle occurred: American flags came out everywhere. By 9/12 American flags were sold out all over the country.   We, as neighbors, as Americans, stood united against a common foe.   Twenty-five years later—because history is nothing if not our best early warning system—that is the message I believe we most need today.   Twenty-five years ago, terrorists tried to get us at each other’s throats. Today I am convinced that unless we change our thinking, we will, in fact, do the damage ourselves those 9/11 murderers wanted done to us.   I pray we never forget the sacrifices, but more so the lessons, of September 11, 2001.   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   84 - 250 YEARS A REPUBLIC: Do We Still Deserve It? 81 - SHE SAVED 2,500 KIDS FROM THE GAS CHAMBER | Irena Sendler (Polish Undergound) | WWII 26 - IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT ANGELS... | *Near-Fatal Personal Experience* | 1950s   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: Rick@TheLegacyGen.com -Website: thelegacygen.com -Find our video episodes on YouTube   September 11, 2001 / Terrorism / Firefighters / Police Officers / Unity / Service
  • 95 - THE SHY MAN WHO ATTACKED A KING | Thomas Jefferson (Founding Father) | Revolutionary War 09.09.2026 15m
    Thomas Jefferson was tasked with the treasonous task of authoring the Declaration of Independence, separating the Americans forever from King George III of England.   Without hesitation, Jefferson opened his portable desk and began work.   He wrote: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with…Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”   These were rights that no man, or king, could take from them.   Wisdom and observation taught Jefferson that those rights came from God, they were inherited, they were innate in the human spirit.   And governments existed solely to protect those rights, nothing more.   That government received its legitimate authority from “the consent of the governed.” That idea struck directly at the ancient belief of the divine right of kings, that kings ruled because God had made them kings and that “commoners never had the right to challenge a king.”   Thomas Jefferson and our Founders shattered such false traditions. And the world would never be the same again.   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   32 - THE PURE SON OF LIBERTY | Thaddeus Kosciuszko (Military Engineer) | Revolutionary War 29 - ROMANCING THE REVOLUTION | Abigail & John Adams | Revolutionary War 35 - WASHINGTON'S MIRACLE MAN (Part 1/3) | Col.

  • 94 - EARNING OUR HONOR... THE HARD WAY | Davy Crockett (Frontiersman + Soldier) | The Alamo 02.09.2026 14m
    The ancient stone walls of the Alamo trembled beneath another thunderous cannon blast.   Mexican soldiers surged forward in wave after wave, their battle cries echoing through the cold dawn air of March 6th, 1836.   The defenders, fewer than two hundred Americans, had held out against overwhelming odds for thirteen days hoping for reinforcements.   Near one section of the crumbling wall stood a tall, broad-shouldered frontiersman wearing a worn buckskin hunting shirt. His long rifle he named “Old Betsy” flashed again and again.   When powder ran out, he seized Old Betsy by the barrel and swung it like a club against Mexican soldiers pouring through the breach.   David “Davy” Crockett had fought bears, hostile natives, and fierce political battles in Washington his entire life. Now, surrounded by 2,000 heavy assault troops, he fought for something far more important.   Liberty itself.   And to the end, he never gave in or gave up. In fact, the great American name, Davy Crockett, is synonymous with the story of America.   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   38 - THE ALAMO'S DIVINE SECRET | The Battle of the Alamo | 1836 49 - THE SPY CONFEDERATES NEVER SUSPECTED… | Elizabeth “Crazy Bet” Van Lew (Union Spy) | Civil War 67 - TAMING THE DARK AND BLOODY GROUND | Daniel Boone (Frontiersman) | Revolutionary War   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: Rick@TheLegacyGen.com -Website: thelegacygen.com -Find our video episodes on YouTube   The Alamo / Frontiersmen and women / Opposing the Indian Removal Act / Andrew Jackson / US Congress
  • 93 - "LORD, HELP ME SAVE JUST ONE MORE..." | Desmond Doss (Army Medic + Conscientious Objector) | WWII 26.08.2026 11m
    When America entered World War II following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Doss wanted to serve.   But he did not want to kill another human being.   He was willing to risk his life for his country and for the men of his Army company. But he simply refused to take another life while doing so.   Many fellow soldiers did not understand. Some accused him of not being a “real man,” of being a coward.   Yet he also refused to hate the men who tormented him. Instead, he trained and trained hard. He mastered the skills of a medic.   Eventually, the men around him would discover that the soldier they considered a coward possessed truly remarkable courage and skill.   We can each learn from his unselfish prayer, offered not for himself, but for others: “Lord, please help me save just one more...”   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   80 - "WOMEN CAN'T BE SURGEONS!" | Mary Walker (Union Doctor) | Civil War 51 - THE ORPHAN WHO LONGED FOR WEST POINT | Sgt.

  • 92 - TRUE COURAGE ALWAYS COMES AT A PRICE | J.K. Rowling (Author) | 1965 - Present 19.08.2026 15m
    The message arrived in the middle of the night.   Another threat from a shadowy, enraged stranger promising a violent attack.   Such cowardly messages appeared simply because J. K. Rowling, the acclaimed author of the Harry Potter Series, had refused to say what others demanded she say.   They threatened her family. Her highly popular books were targeted for boycott. Former friends and colleagues publicly disowned her.   Yet the courageous woman she is, J. K. Rowling did something that frightened her critics more than silence ever could. She spoke with even greater clarity and fortitude.   In her amazing public stand, the depth of her character shown for all the world to see. A strong woman who, after reaching the summit of literary success, discovered a deeper, more powerful message to our world.   I see J. K. Rowling’s example of courage as her most valuable contribution of all, especially as an example to our kids today. She demonstrates that true courage always comes at a price...   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:     86 - THE BULLET JUST MISSED HIS HEART | Ronald Reagan (US President) | 1911-2004 57 - AMERICA'S SECRET WEAPON AGAINST COMMUNISM | Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr (Racial Activist) | Cold War 43 - CREATING AMERICA'S BATTLE HYMN | Julia Ward Howe (Poet/Abolitionist) | Civil War   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: Rick@TheLegacyGen.com -Website: thelegacygen.com -Find our video episodes on YouTube   Courage / Sacrifice / Dedication / Grit / Integrity / Harry Potter
  • 91 - WHEN ONE MAN'S CHOICES SAVED OUR WORLD | Winston Churchill (Prime Minister) | WWII 12.08.2026 15m
    The sky above London glowed bright crimson. It was not the red of a setting sun but the terrible glow of a city on fire and under siege.   German bombers droned through the darkness, dropping tons of incendiary bombs upon homes, churches, and factories. Fire engines raced through shattered neighborhoods while exhausted rescue workers clawed through broken buildings with bleeding hands, searching for survivors. Every explosion shook the foundations of one of the world’s leading cities.   Across the continent, Adolf Hitler's armies had conquered nation after nation with breathtaking speed. Nearly every military expert believed Britain would soon find itself under full scale Nazi invasion.   In the midst of the smoke and ruin, one solid, broad-shouldered man wearing a determined scowl beneath his bowler hat, refused even to whisper the word “surrender.”   His name was Winston Churchill. And history would forever remember him as the man who stared into the totalitarian abyss and never blinked...   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   67 - TAMING THE DARK AND BLOODY GROUND | Daniel Boone (Frontiersman) | Revolutionary War 43 - CREATING AMERICA'S BATTLE HYMN | Julia Ward Howe (Poet/Abolitionist) | Civil War 24 - YOUNGEST U.S. OFFICER IN WW2...

  • 90 - HE HATED THOSE DIVIDING AMERICA | Frederick Douglass (Abolitionist) | Civil War 05.08.2026 14m
    One autumn evening just prior to the Civil War, the escaped slave Frederick Douglass stepped onto the platform of an abolitionist street meeting knowing he could get beat up, maybe even lynched for his efforts. Pro-slavery supporters shouted obscenities with each word he spoke.   Looking into the faces of those who hated the cause of liberty for all, courageously Frederick Douglass declared slavery a deep moral evil that was rotting America from within.   Frederick Douglass was self-taught. He traded bread to poor white boys in exchange for reading lessons and old books. He kept old newspapers and squirreled them away to read when alone.   He listened to inspiring speeches and memorized them. He secretly borrowed his master’s Bible, reading it long into the night. Every new word he mastered strengthened his mind.   His tireless abolitionist campaigning changed the course of history helping support the war effort, the War Between the States that would free those in bondage...   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:     89 - LINCOLN'S FORGOTTEN MESSAGE TO AMERICA | Battle of Gettysburg | Civil War 63 - THE YOUNG MOTHER SACRIFICED FOR CHRIST | Vibia Perpetua (Noblewoman & Christian Convert) | Roman Empire 28 - SHE SAVED HUNDREDS...WITH GOD'S HELP | Harriet Tubman (Abolitionist) | Underground Railroad/Civil War   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: Rick@TheLegacyGen.com -Website: thelegacygen.com -Find our video episodes on YouTube   Slavery / Civil War / Emancipation / Abolition / Abraham Lincoln / Freedom
  • 89 - LINCOLN'S FORGOTTEN MESSAGE TO AMERICA | Battle of Gettysburg | Civil War 29.07.2026 15m
    As casualty reports from Gettysburg poured in, President Abraham Lincoln wrestled with one haunting question:   How could he tell thousands of grieving families their loved ones had not died in vain?   More than 51,000 American casualties in the bloodiest battle in the nation’s history.   Preparing for his Gettysburg cemetery dedication speech, Lincoln turned to the Declaration of Independence, recognizing that the Civil War was testing whether a nation founded on God-given rights could survive.   At Gettysburg, he reminded Americans that the fallen had already consecrated the battlefield through their sacrifice. The responsibility now belonged to the living.   His warning still echoes today: freedom is never inherited automatically. Freedom is entrusted to ordinary men and women who must decide, in every generation, whether they will prove worthy of those who came before them.   That was America’s unfinished work at Gettysburg. It remains America’s unfinished work today.   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:     84 - 250 YEARS A REPUBLIC: Do We Still Deserve It? 60 - THE BATTLE FOR WAKE ISLAND: AMERICA’S SECOND ALAMO | U.S. Marines | WWII 34 - THE DAY AN ANGEL APPEARED IN THE WHITE HOUSE | Rebecca Pomroy (Army Nurse) | Civil War   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: Rick@TheLegacyGen.com -Website: thelegacygen.com -Find our video episodes on YouTube   Abraham Lincoln / Civil War / War Between the States / Lincoln / Gettysburg Battle / Gettysburg Address / Patriotism / Liberty / Freedom / Comforting Families of War Dead / Pericles / Athens
  • 88 - GREATEST LAWMAN IN AMERICAN HISTORY | Bass Reeves (U.S. Deputy Marshal) | American West 22.07.2026 15m
    No one wanted the assignment. To bring in two desperate killers with a nasty habit of ambushing lawmen.   US Deputy Marshal Bass Reeves was assigned the task. Packing light, he headed into Indian Territory alone, as he typically operated, in disguise as a poor, weary vagabond.   When reaching the outlaws' hideout—found by his exceptional tracking skills learned from years living with local Indian tribes—the outlaws suspected nothing. The criminals laughed and boasted of their murders of lawmen and countless robberies.   Then they found themselves staring down the barrel of a shotgun.   Marshal Reeves stated matter-of-factly that they could go to jail upright walking as men, or draped across their horses like dead animals, it didn’t much matter to him. So, he marched the handcuffed and hobbled prisoners off to Fort Smith, Arkansas for trial.   Today, historians recognize Bass Reeves as one of the greatest lawmen in American history. His many exploits inspired popular fictional Western heroes like the Lone Ranger and others.   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   76 - AMERICA'S SPARTANS | The Maryland 400 (Soldiers) | Revolutionary War 73 - THEY LAUGHED...

    There’s a movie out right now you must see. More so, you need to take your children and grandchildren.   Most Americans have heard of George Washington. But few understand how absolutely irreplaceable he was to our American story.   Practically no one has been taught in our schools and universities that, contrary to nearly every leader in world history, he willingly gave up power when he could have easily seized it for life.   And practically no one knows where his remarkable story actually began and that his life was miraculously preserved on so many occasions.   These are well documented accounts. And this exceptional movie finally brings them out for all to see.   We are, as a nation, starved of this endless historical reservoir of miracles offering evidence of God’s loving hand when needed most. Fortunately, we now have a movie in theaters depicting these events for all to see.   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:     84 - 250 YEARS A REPUBLIC: Do We Still Deserve It? 40 - 3 MUST-SEE MOVIES FOR SEEKERS OF TRUTH | WWII, Civil War, Vietnam War 29 - ROMANCING THE REVOLUTION | Abigail & John Adams | Revolutionary War   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: Rick@TheLegacyGen.com -Website: thelegacygen.com -Find our video episodes on YouTube   George Washington / French and Indian War / Revolutionary War / Battle of Monongahela / Miracles / Discrimination / Washington’s Faith / Fort Necessity
  • 86 - THE BULLET JUST MISSED HIS HEART | Ronald Reagan (US President) | 1911-2004 08.07.2026 13m
    On March 30, 1981, President Ronald Reagan was shot outside the Washington Hilton Hotel when an assassin's bullet narrowly missed his heart.   Despite his injuries, Reagan's humor and courage reassured a worried nation saying to the doctors: “I hope you’re all Republicans.” To which the lead surgeon replied: “We’re all Republicans today, sir.”   Born in 1911 in Illinois, Reagan learned hard work through a modest upbringing and became known for courageously rescuing swimmers as a lifeguard. He worked as a radio announcer and later as a Hollywood actor, developing communication skills that earned him the nickname "The Great Communicator."   After serving in the Army during World War II and leading the Screen Actors Guild, Reagan entered politics, switching from Democrat to Republican. He became governor of California and, in 1980, the 40th president of the United States.   Reagan promoted free-market principles, confronted and ended Soviet communism, and inspired discouraged Americans with his optimism, leadership, humor, and belief in personal liberty and unencumbered opportunity.   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   73 - THEY LAUGHED...

    As British forces under General Charles Cornwallis weakly huddled at Yorktown in 1781, George Washington faced one final obstacle: the Continental Army had no money to pay troops or buy supplies.   Salvation came from Haym Salomon, a Jewish immigrant from Poland, financier, and patriot who secured the funds needed to sustain and feed the army.   Arriving in New York in 1772, Salomon embraced the American cause, joining the Sons of Liberty and later serving as a spy for Washington in British-occupied New York. Arrested and sentenced to death, he bribed a guard and escaped to Philadelphia.   Using his financial expertise and personal fortune, Salomon raised loans, extended credit, and repeatedly spent his own money to support the Revolution. His efforts helped make victory at Yorktown possible.   Yet despite sacrificing everything, he died in 1785 financially ruined, his family in poverty, and largely pushed aside—a crucial yet forgotten hero of American independence.   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE: 70 - THE GREAT STORM THAT SAVED AMERICA | The Miracle of Boston | 1700s 33 - THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION: THE MOST WORTHY AND JUSTIFIED IN HISTORY | *4th of July Special* 29 - ROMANCING THE REVOLUTION | Abigail & John Adams | Revolutionary War   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: Rick@TheLegacyGen.com -Website: thelegacygen.com -Find our video episodes on YouTube   Revolutionary War / Battle of Yorktown / Moneyman / Spy / Financier /
  • 84 - 250 YEARS A REPUBLIC: Do We Still Deserve It? 24.06.2026 14m
    Ask yourself: What do the last 250 years look like without America?   Without the American example, kings still claim divine authority “from God.” Individual liberty is silenced in its infancy. In the twentieth century, it was the United States standing against fascism when much of the world capitulated. The satanic despots of the Nazi Party, proclaiming their Reich “would rule for a thousand years.” And they were willing to murder millions to make that happen.   More threatening still, America faced down Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, and their imitators and lackeys while entire nations disappeared behind the Iron Curtain and a hundred million people were murdered while a billion more suffered.   But America and her allies stood firm.   We are a republic grounded not in bloodline, ethnicity, or conquest, but in principle. Founded upon the Judeo-Christian belief that all men and women are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.   We are a constitutional republic, blessed by God to be an “Ensign to the Nations.” But will we survive…?   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   68 - REMEMBERING OUR HEROES | Commemorating 250 Years of Freedom 55 - THE WORDS THAT FIRED A REVOLUTION | Patrick Henry (Founding Father) | Revolutionary War 33 - THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION: THE MOST WORTHY AND JUSTIFIED IN HISTORY | *4th of July Special*   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: Rick@TheLegacyGen.com -Website: thelegacygen.com -Find our video episodes on YouTube   Declaration of Independence / America’s 250th / America’s Birthday / Founding Fathers / Independence / 4th of July / Liberty / Freedom / Revolutionary War / Constitution
  • 83 - THE DIPLOMAT WHO DEFIED HITLER | Raoul Wallenberg (Swedish Official) | WWII 17.06.2026 12m
    Threatening clouds hung low over Budapest, Hungary.   Soldiers shouted orders, dragging men, women, even children from their homes.   The icy wind cut through the thin clothing of the terrified Jewish families as they were forced toward the banks of the Danube River. There, in the gray dawn, the soldiers lined them up shoulder to shoulder.   “Shoes off!” Shouted the Nazi officer.   The people obeyed. A mother clutched her young son, whispering prayers next to his ear. An old man stared blankly at the black water that had already swallowed the bodies of those shot moments before.   Many were tied together in groups of three—especially the children—with only the middle child shot to save ammo before all three were pushed into the icy cold water.   Then, like an angel sent from heaven, a car swerved wildly, scattering the soldiers. The door burst open.   A tall man in a dark suitcoat leapt out, his voice cutting through the chaos,   “Stop what you are doing…! These people are under my protection!”   I’m Rick Robison and this is the FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> "FORGOTTEN PATRIOTS" MANUALS (Volumes 1-4) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   81 - SHE SAVED 2,500 KIDS FROM THE GAS CHAMBER | Irena Sendler (Polish Undergound) | WWII 77 - HER CRIME WAS SAVING OTHERS... | Edith Cavell (Nurse) | WWI 46 - THE CHRISTIAN ("MORMON") BOY WHO STOOD AGAINST HITLER | Helmuth Hubener (Anti-Nazi Resistance) | WWII   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: Rick@TheLegacyGen.com -Website: thelegacygen.com -Find our video episodes on YouTube   World War II / Holocaust / Jews / Germany / Sweden / Diplomat / Saving Lives /
