About this listen

 LEST WE FORGET is a 30-minute video program hosted by Lillian Caudwell on the Passionate World Talk Radio Network. The show delves into historical issues that, though transpired in the past, are often overlooked by the present generation. It aims to foster an understanding of pivotal events in our country's history.
In our inaugural episode, we explored The United States and the Holocaust, featuring a discussion with three hosts. The focus was on unraveling the hows and whys behind the Holocaust, providing an opportunity to delve into the challenges faced by the Jewish Community then and now. Initially structured with three hosts covering contemporary events, religious perspectives, and historical insights, the podcast has seen two hosts depart due to time constraints. It's important to note that there's no singular right or wrong opinion; everyone has the freedom to express their sentiments about past events and the imperative to prevent them from fading into obscurity.

Concluding each episode, Lillian offers a Call to Action or an Action Plan for listeners eager to make a meaningful impact and engage on a broader scale. To participate, simply text your comments, name, and email to 484-364-1032. This serves as an avenue to share your thoughts and potentially connect with one of our hosts for a one-on-one conversation.

  • Can a President Send Troops Against Protesters

    Can a President Send Troops Against Protesters
    Jun 20 2025
    In today’s episode of Historical: Lest We Forget, host Lillian Cauldwell examines a critical question posed by Dietrich Knauth: Does U.S. law allow a president to send troops against protesters?Knauth highlights a past instance where the president deployed National Guard troops to California after days of protests against immigration raids, framing the demonstrations as a potential "rebellion" against federal authority.

    Yet, when armed rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol, killing security officers and threatening government officials, the same president did not mobilize the National Guard or Marines to protect federal property.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth later deployed 700 active-duty Marines in response to protests—but does troop deployment only happen when a president views dissent as rebellion?Read Dietrich Knauth’s article and decide for yourself: Why does a sitting president send troops against protesters opposing him, but not when he incites an attack on the Capitol?

    Lest We Forget Historical: Presidential Gifts
    May 25 2025

    In today’s episode of Lest We Forget Historical, Lillian Cauldwell explores Presidential Gifts and the unusual items received by U.S. presidents throughout history. Since 1776, world leaders, royalty, and heads of state have presented extravagant and sometimes bizarre offerings to American presidents.From Abraham Lincoln declining a herd of elephants from the King of Siam in 1862 to Bill and Hillary Clinton receiving a hand-stitched Persian carpet featuring their faces, these gifts have ranged from lavish to outright peculiar. But none compare to the latest presidential gift—valued at an astonishing $400 million, making it the most expensive in history.These Presidential Gifts often reveal deeper political messages or cultural values behind the gestures, from diplomacy to influence.

  • Nixon IRS Scandal Abuse of Power Then and Now

    Nixon IRS Scandal Abuse of Power Then and Now
    May 23 2025


    In today's episode of Lest We Forget Historical with Lillian C., we revisit the tumultuous era of Richard M. Nixon, a presidency defined by scandal, secrecy, and the abuse of power. At the center of the Nixon IRS scandal, the former president wielded the tax agency as a weapon, targeting his enemies by manipulating their records in a personal campaign of retribution.

    Nixon’s downfall came with Watergate, but this abuse of federal power was a chilling precursor. His plan ultimately unraveled, and Congress took a decisive stand against using institutions for personal vengeance, sealing his disgraced exit from office.Does this tactic feel eerily familiar? It should. In today’s political landscape, similar retribution plays out, as the current administration allegedly weaponizes government power against its adversaries.

    From humiliation to exile, imprisonment, and accusations of treason, the blueprint for political retaliation is unfolding once again.Citizens take note: If history teaches us anything, it’s that unchecked power never stops at one enemy—it expands until resistance is crushed entirely. Will Congress act, or will the tide rise unchecked?
