  Mr. Steak Founder James Mather: Smile to Help Beautify America, Dec 1976 Mr Steak's Competitive Edge

  Aug 18, 202658 min

  Part 3 in the Mr. Steak series, and Part 2 of the Mr. Steak's Competitive Edge series. Mr. Steak's Founder, Chairman of the Board and CEO James A. Jim Mather, my Grandpa Mather, interviews people in an effort to increase what he called Mr. Steak's Competitive Edge by encouraging people to smile in order to help beautify America. This was in December 1976 for the benefit of Mr. Steak's nationwide staff in 285 restaurants. Grandpa interjects his thoughts along with Scripture. This seems to have been a monthly series called "Mr. Steak's Competitive Edge," each month with a new theme. Many thank to Kerri Marquadt, owner of 7 of the 286 Mr. Steak franchises including the Cheyenne Wyoming location, for the gift to me of these rare tapes of the Mr. Steak franchisor founder and motivational speaker, James A. Mather. Grandpa Mather was raised by a single mother in the Great Depression in El Dorado, Kansas. He went on to serve as a Navy F2F Hellcat fighter pilot during World War 2. He started the company in 1962. He and his first wife Dottie raised 3 kids in Colorado. He died last year in the presence of his second wife Linda peacefully in Camarillo, California at the ripe age of 102 years young. Funeral services were held at Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Newbury Park and performed by Pastor Rob McCoy, whom Jim mentored in the Lord. The still photo is Grandpa Mather with Dr. Jim James Dobson, president of Focus on the Family, probably in Colorado Springs in the early 1980s. They are about to each lunch together in Dobson's office, looks like hamburgers. Grandpa was a multiple time guest on Focus on the Family radio program. When I went to Summit Ministries for the first time courtesy of Grandpa in 1989, the first person I met was Ryan Dobson, who had highly recommended it to Grandpa. Enjoy. The Republican Professor is a pro-free-enterprise-system podcast. Therefore, welcome back Grandpa Jim James A. Mather. The Republican Professor is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D

  War -- Republicans in 1960s Counterculture: The Age of Entitlement: America Since the 60s cont. ch4

  Aug 13, 202653 min

  This is part 9 in the series. (Part 8 was the episode on 14 May 2026). We're beginning our discussion of the chapter called "War." Chapter 4. We discuss sub-chapters starting at p. 74 of chapter 4, hitting the following: "The Vietnam War generation and class" and "the counterculture." We stop at the top of p. 82. This is a continuation of a transformative reading and fair use of Chris Caldwell's "The Age of Entitlement: America Since the Sixties" published by Simon and Schuster in 2020. We'd like to thank Chris Caldwell for writing it, Simon and Schuster for making it available, and encourage you to purchase your own physical copy of the book so that you can follow along. Please support brick and mortar book dealers, you local book dealers. I'd like to thank my former political philosophy student Matt Stone (Phil M03: Social and Political Philosophy at Moorpark College, Spring 2008) for purchasing my copy of the book for me and supporting TRP podcast. Let's foster a culture that values good authors and good books, physical books, and honors and rewards publishers for making those books available for us to read and to think about. Please support this author and this publisher. Also, support your local brick and mortar book dealer, dealers in physical books. This episode was filmed Thursday 13 August 2026 years after Jesus in the backyard of my long-time (nearly a quarter of a century) Epistemology mentor Dr. Doug Geivett (PhD, USC under Dallas Willard), a student himself of the famous late-great Republican professor, the late-great Dallas Willard of USC's Philosophy Department. The Republican Professor is a pro-political-phenomeonology-done-right podcast. The Republican Professor is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D.

  Open Carry in California According to Republican Ninth Circuit Part 4, VanDyke, Lee Trump Appointees

  Aug 8, 20261h 3m

  Part 4 of 5, this one focused on as-applied versus facial challenge of the penal code in California. The Ninth Circuit defends open carry in California, Part 4 of 5 (Part 4 was 17 April 2026, Part 2 was 19 Feb 2026 and Part 1 was 15 Jan 2026) of our study of open carry in America's Constitutional tradition by spending more time today with Baird v. Bonta (2 Jan 2026, 9th Circuit) from the top of page 37 (Roman Numeral II) through to the top of page 49 at VII. The pro-Second-Amendment opinions, both of them that we take a look at, were written by Republican appointees (Trump, with a Republican US Senate). We will pick up at page 49 and Roman Numeral VII. https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2026/01/02/24-565.pdf Here's a link to the article I wrote 9 April 2020 for San Diego County Gun Owners, published on Gun Owner's Radio, that I entitled : "Two Types of Self-Defense" here. https://gunownersradio.com/two-types-of-self-defense/ This episode and this series is dedicated to the memory of my closest first cousin, Little Dan Mountain Jr, closest in age by just a couple of weeks, who died earlier this year in January. I picked a topic that would bring a smile to his face and that would honor the bright spots in our childhood together in Colorado.
