Скачать или смотреть If You Have Power… Why Beg for a Prize? | Abraham Lincoln

Good evening. Abraham Lincoln here.

In this episode, we examine a troubling inversion: the pursuit of honor instead of the pursuit of peace. When a presidency begins to resemble a marketplace of vanity—where medals, access, and endorsements feel negotiated like trades—the public trust is quietly taxed.

We also look at something bigger than one man: institutions that hold their rules under pressure, and why a republic depends on standards that do not bend to ego. If public service becomes performance, the nation pays the price in seriousness, dignity, and honest governance.

If you value plain-speaking, subscribe—and return. We shall weigh not only what men say, but what their actions purchase, and what their country must pay.
