Charles Edward Coughlin, commonly known as Father Coughlin, was a Canadian-American Catholic priest in the United States near Detroit. He was the founding priest of the National Shrine of the Little Flower.

He was one of the first political leaders to use radio to reach a mass audience. During the 1930s, when the U.S. population was about 120 million, an estimated 30 million listeners tuned to his weekly broadcasts.

After attacking Jewish bankers, Coughlin began using his radio program to broadcast antisemitic commentary. In the late 1930s, he supported some of the policies of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. The broadcasts have been described as "a variation of the Fascist agenda applied to American culture." His chief topics were political and economic rather than religious, using the slogan "Social Justice." After the outbreak of World War II in Europe in 1939, the Roosevelt administration forced the cancellation of his radio program and forbade distribution by mail of his newspaper Social Justice. Coughlin largely vanished from the public arena, working as a parish pastor until retiring in 1966. He died in 1979 at the age of 88.

By 1934, Coughlin was perhaps the most prominent Roman Catholic speaker on political and financial issues, with a radio audience that reached tens of millions of people every week. Alan Brinkley wrote that "by 1934, he was receiving more than 10,000 letters every day" and that "his clerical staff at times numbered more than a hundred." He foreshadowed modern talk radio and televangelism. However, the University of Detroit Mercy claims that Coughlin's peak audience was in 1932. It is estimated that at his peak, one-third of the nation listened to his broadcasts. In 1933, The Literary Digest wrote, "Perhaps no man has stirred the country and cut as deep between the old order and the new as Father Charles E. Coughlin." At its peak in the early-to-mid 1930s, Coughlin's radio show was phenomenally popular. His office received up to 80,000 letters per week from listeners. Author Sheldon Marcus said that the size of Coughlin's radio audience "is impossible to determine, but estimates range up to 30 million each week".

For decades, America has been separated by race, region, religion, and class. We reject the current power structure’s age-old game of divide and conquer and refuse to engage in the concepts of identity politics plaguing our culture, education, and political systems. We should be concerned about only one identity: the American identity. Only by unifying with the common desire to improve the well-being of all American citizens can we challenge the current ruling structure’s monopoly of power and influence.

The show on New Frontier USA covers all current events in the United States and the World. We give you an alternative view of everything ongoing in your world, keeping you informed and engaged in the conversation with our open panel.
