Podcast Episode 249: Washington’s Farewell

Washington’s Farewell Address used to be an important part of every Congress. The House stopped reading it in 1979 while the Senate still continues the practice. What does it say and what can we learn from it? A listener wanted an overview, so this is it. I consider it to be an important letter, one with prescient warnings but also lofty inconsistency. I discuss the Address in this episode of The Brion McClanahan Show.
