The Clay Edwards Show, Episode 1,003 – Brandon's Confederate Statue Controversy & More

YouTube Video Description: Clay Edwards Show Interview with Forrest S. Dows – Brandon's Confederate Statue Controversy Join Clay Edwards on The Clay Edwards Show for an exclusive interview with Forrest S. Dows, Commander of the Mississippi Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, as they dive into the heated controversy surrounding Brandon, Mississippi's attempt to relocate a Civil War memorial statue. In this powerful discussion, Forrest passionately defends the monument's historical significance, clarifying its role as a tribute to soldiers who defended their homes, not a symbol of slavery. He reveals that the statue, owned by Rankin County, marks the sacred ground where federal troops stacked arms before devastating Brandon during the Civil War. Forrest debunks myths about Black Confederate soldiers, citing their documented service alongside white troops, and addresses accusations of racism by emphasizing the monument's inscriptions, which honor sacrifice without mentioning slavery. He also highlights Mississippi Code 55-15-81, which protects such memorials, and urges listeners to contact local representatives to oppose the city's secretive vote to move the statue.

He vetoed a bill that would have allowed slot machine style games at convenience stores and truck stops.  He also vetoed two bills that were opposed by Confederate groups: one would have eliminated tax breaks for the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and the other that would have eliminated two state-issued license plates, one celebrating Robert E. Lee and another celebrating the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Some predatory lenders advance cash to grieving relatives about to gain an inheritence while trying to claim the money isn't a loan--but a new bill signed by the Governor would help fight those practices.Did Sam Altman steal the voice of Scarlett Johansson?

A black Tennessee mayor declared April Confederate History Month while  surrounded by white members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, which says it celebrates the history of the Confederacy while denouncing racism.   Livingston Mayor Curtis Hayes, who appears to be non-partisan with no record of a party affiliation, signed the proclamation last week with members of the SCV. It is a Tennessee-based group comprised of male descendants of Confederate soldiers, Overton County News reported.    Check me out on   Twitter.com Teller99truth          Instagram Hardtalk79                https://cash.app/$HARDTRADIO Feel free to donate if you feel to do so and like the content.               If you have any current event stories or videos  that you want me to cover hit me up at Redpillman1988@gmail.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/red-pill-man/support

This week we are pleased to present something a little bit new for TFSR listeners. This is a kind of informal round table discussion that co host Scott and I had alongside Vicky Osterweil, who has been on the show before to speak on her book In Defense of Looting; A Riotous History of Uncivil Action. We all sat down to talk about a short and thought provoking article which was published in January of 2022 called “The Interregnum: The George Floyd Uprising, the coronavirus pandemic, and the emerging social revolution” which was published on the Haters Cafe and we will link to it in the show notes for anyone interested in reading it. An interregnum is defined as being a period of discontinuity in a government, organization, or social order, and it typically points to time frames at which there isn't a clear monarch or reigning body in a given place. This article points to the many ways the George Floyd uprising, the covid 19 pandemic, the rise of anti-work, and what the article calls the Great Refusal (a pivot from the ‘Great Resignation' nomenclature of some mass media) have all created the conditions for a possible broadscale social revolution. Also stay tuned to the end of this episode where we chat briefly about what books we're reading right now. We hope you enjoy this chat! ((note to listeners, I'm now using the name I use in real life for this radio project, which is Amar. It's become more and more important to me to be as fully acknowledging of my culture and ethnicity as possible, and this is one way I'm choosing to do that)) A note on the audio, I messed up recording on my side – my bad - but Scott saved the audio by doing their own back up recording! In Defense of Looting interview with TFSR! Announcements: Disrupt Stone Mountain In the south eastern US state of Georgia, there is a call-out for anti-racists and anti-fascists to show up and counter and stop the yearly demonstration organized by the buffoonish Sons of Confederate Veterans at Stone Mountain Park for April 30th, 2022. Stone Mountain was intended by “lost cause” supporters as a confederate Mount Rushmore, including a large bas-relief carving and was maybe the site of the birth of the second KKK in 1915. More info on the twitter for Atlanta Justice Alliance and some background can be found in a prior TFSR interview Eric King A call-in campaign continues until we hear otherwise for Eric King, the anarchist prisoner who recently won a court case against his jailers at the federal Bureau of Prisons. After that case, they decided to transfer him to a higher security facility across the country. The BOP has a history of setting Eric up to get jumped by white supremacist prisoners at other facilities and the worry is that not only is this move an obvious act of vengeance by the BOP but that he'll be isolated and targeted at USP Lee or whatever facility they stick him in. You can find notes about the call in at SupportEricKing.org, in our chat with Eric on our April 3rd, 2022 episode and in the recent IGD This Is America interview on the subject. Libre Flot Libre Flot, a French anarchist and former volunteer alongside the YPG in Rojava, has ended his hunger strike after a judge released him for medical reasons but he'll be electronically monitored by the state pending a future court case, as reported by Abolition Media. Likely future updates and ways to support Libre Flot can be found at SolidarityToDecember8.WordPress.Com.

QUESTION PRESENTED: Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit's failure to apply the Supreme Court's forum doctrine to the First Amendment challenge of a private religious organization that was denied access to briefly display its flag on a city flagpole, pursuant to a city policy expressly designating the flagpole a public forum open to all applicants, with hundreds of approvals and no denials, conflicts with the Supreme Court's precedents holding that speech restrictions based on religious viewpoint or content violate the First Amendment or are otherwise subject to strict scrutiny and that the establishment clause is not a defense to censorship of private speech in a public forum open to all comers; whether the 1st Circuit's classifying as government speech the brief display of a private religious organization's flag on a city flagpole, pursuant to a city policy expressly designating the flagpole a public forum open to all applicants, with hundreds of approvals and no denials, unconstitutionally expands the government speech doctrine, in direct conflict with the court's decisions in Matal v. Tam, Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Inc. and Pleasant Grove City v. Summum; and  whether the 1st Circuit's finding that the requirement for perfunctory city approval of a proposed brief display of a private religious organization's flag on a city flagpole, pursuant to a city policy expressly designating the flagpole a public forum open to all applicants with hundreds of approvals and no denials, transforms the religious organization's private speech into government speech, conflicts with the Supreme Court's precedent in Matal v. Tam, and circuit court precedents in New Hope Family Services, Inc. v. Poole, Wandering Dago, Inc. v. Destito, Eagle Point Education Association v. Jackson County School District and Robb v.

In today's jam-packed Best of 2021: Sam and Emma host author Clint Smith, staff writer at the Atlantic, to discuss his new book, How the Word is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America on how the legacy of slavery has been passed down and obscured through generations of storytelling, and the manner in which this manifests in modern society. They walk through the sites that Smith visits in his book – from Monticello, looking at how the stories of Thomas Jefferson perfectly encapsulate the cognitive dissonance of how Americans view ourselves, to Angola Prison as a symbol of modern enslavement literally build upon a plantation – and how the heirloom of ideology is passed down through every element of our society, through education, through infrastructure, and certainly through community policing measures. Smith explores his experiences at a Sons of Confederate Veterans celebration, and the importance of elevating empirical historical facts in making space for activists and organizers to express contemporary racism as carrying the remnants and residues of these systems through all elements of American society. Then Sam sits down with with Harvard history professor Annette Gordon-Reed on her new book, On Juneteenth, which explores the Texas roots and national consciousness of the holiday celebrating the end of slavery in the South. Beginning in the 1500s, Gordon-Reed walks us through the arrival of slavery in Texas with Spanish settlers, and its development as an Enslaver's Republic as it broke away from Mexico and U.S. slaveholders ventured into the state to capitalize on the protection of the industry. Then, they discuss Gordon Granger's arrival in Texas on June 19, 1865, to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation, and the active and direct removal of status from former slave owners and deliverance of autonomy to Black freed folk, before they move into the violence of reconstruction in Texas and the South. Professor Gordon-Reed then walks through the importance of Juneteenth since the arrival of Granger, with the purchasing of what would become Emancipation Park in Houston as a grounds for celebration directly following it, why this day, in particular, took off as a celebration of manumission, and how Juneteenth has come into more widespread popularity. Lastly, Sam and Emma are joined by Jason Myles, co-host of the This Is Revolution podcast, as they dissect his Medium article, “I Was a Teenage Anarchist," on the growth of the punk movement around the concepts of authenticity and deconstruction, how that hindered its growth and ability to alter the mainstream, instead, setting it up to be absorbed by the machine, and what that can teach us about the state of the online left today.

A native of East Tennessee, Earl Starbuck is an independent historian and a descendant of soldiers on both sides of The Late Unpleasantness and of Governor John Sevier. His father, who was a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, taught him to love history and the South. Starbuck holds a BA in History and Political Science from Carson-Newman University and an MA in History from Liberty University. He has no connection to the coffee company. I talk with Starbuck about his petition “Tennessee Must Oppose Vaccine Tyranny” and how state's rights and nullification can resist federal overreach, but it requires action of the people and their representatives in those states. We also discuss big-government/Lincolnian indoctrination and Southern cultural genocide, compare bondage within today's godless empire to forms of involuntary slavery, and take many a deep dive down some thought-provoking historical rabbit holes, including a spoiler about one of the most commonly attributed quotes to Robert E. Lee. In addition to reading, signing, and helping spread the word about Starbuck's bold petition, be sure to check out his 4-part series on General Lee: The Believer, The Father, The Soldier, and The Educator, as well as his essays “Was Secession Treason?” and “Roe v. Wade: A Mere Nullity,” Thomas Jefferson's “The Rights of British America,” and M.E. Bradford's “Original Intentions On the Making and Ratification of the United States Constitution.”

Kumar, who is a graduate of the University of Chicago and a native Arkansan, has written for numerous publications, including the Abbeville Institute, American Renaissance, Identity Dixie, The Political Cesspool, Clyde Wilson's Reckonin', and VDare. Kumar and I talk about his ancestry, his “rightist” political awakening, and his Christian conversion, how whites have racially disarmed themselves, how the power-hungry left has pathologized whiteness, how too many Southerners are on the defensive (instead of on the offensive and rightfully taking command of the moral high ground), and how his bold congressional platform aims to remedy those very deep and dangerous problems. With a degree in anthropology and now knee-deep in law school, one wouldn't think that such a young man could be so common-sense and so wise. But Kumar is and his writing proves it. Here are some of my favorites:“Reconstruction in Arkansas”“All that is ugly, broken, and foul”“An open letter to Walmart”“White open spaces”“John Brown's body: A review of ‘The Secret Six' by Otto Scott”“You reap what you sow” Also mentioned in our conversation are my interview with Lauren Witzke and the progressive and predictable hack job inventing an SCV “leak” along with its gaslit “aggressive neo-Confederates” narrative. I say, damn straight we're aggressive! So, on this 158th anniversary of Pickett's Charge (the final day of the Battle of Gettysburg, which waged from July 1-3, 1863), let's consider Kumar's message and his candidacy as a much-needed frontal assault against the undeniable Southern genocide, the pathologization of whiteness, the destruction of the family, and the mass proliferation of godlessness and globohomo. “Come on, boys! Give them the cold steel!”

Sam and Emma host author Clint Smith, staff writer at the Atlantic, to discuss his new book, How the Word is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America on how the legacy of slavery has been passed down and obscured through generations of storytelling, and the manner in which this manifests in modern society. They walk through the sites that Smith visits in his book – from Monticello, looking at how the stories of Thomas Jefferson perfectly encapsulate the cognitive dissonance of how Americans view ourselves, to Angola Prison as a symbol of modern enslavement literally build upon a plantation – and how the heirloom of ideology is passed down through every element of our society, through education, through infrastructure, and certainly through community policing measures. Smith explores his experiences at a Sons of Confederate Veterans celebration, and the importance of elevating empirical historical facts in making space for activists and organizers to express contemporary racism as carrying the remnants and residues of these systems through all elements of American society. Susan Collins helps Sam and Emma round it out with a discussion on her killer renewable energy tax, ensuring that those aiding our environment pay their fair share to use the roads. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma check in on the NYC Mayoral Race and how Eric Adams' suggestion of a 400:1 student to teacher ratio might actually not be a good idea, then Dave Rubin bombs because of Big Tech and the Liberal Agenda and Dana Bash forgets to even acknowledge AOC's comments before hitting on her CNN bipartisanship talking points in response, plus, your IMs!

James Ronald Kennedy was born and raised in Mississippi. He received his Bachelor's degree from the University of Louisiana, Monroe, and a Master's degree in Health Administration from Tulane University, New Orleans, and a Master's of Jurisprudence in Health Law from Loyola University, Chicago. Ron, along with his brother Walter Donald Kennedy, are the Kennedy Twins and are best known for their bestselling book “The South Was Right!,” which has sold more 180,000 copies and its “new edition for the 21st century” was just released by Shotwell Publishing. The Kennedy Twins have written 16 other books, including “Punished With Poverty: The Suffering South,” “Dixie Rising: Rules for Rebels,” “Yankee Empire: Aggressive Abroad and Despotic at Home,” and “When Rebel Was Cool.” Ron and his brother Donnie have been interviewed by numerous local and national talk radio shows such as Col. Oliver North's radio show, Alan Colmes' radio show, Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect, the BBC, French National TV, Louisiana Public Broadcasting TV and Mississippi Public Broadcasting radio and TV. Both have served as Commander of the Louisiana Division Sons of Confederate Veterans and have received special recognition awards from the National Commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the United Daughters of the Confederacy, as well as other Southern heritage organizations. Ron and I discuss how he got involved in the Southern-without-apology movement, as well as how the Southern states went from self-determination, prosperity, and health, to an underling region of “bayonet governments,” to now a land of “stateless people.” It's not all doom and gloom, though, folks, for this son of Dixie has big ideas about how to organize effectively and resist nonviolently big government at the local, state, and federal levels. Let's just say that his strategies, if implemented, could “hang [the oligarchs] on the horns of a dilemma.” Sounds good to me.

Welcome to the Dissident Mama podcast, episode 18. Today my guest is Carl Jones, past Chief of Heritage Operations for the Sons of Confederate Veterans, past Alabama Division Commander of the SCV, current Army of Tennessee Councilman, and NRA Certified Firearms Instructor. Jones and I talk about Confederate ancestry, what it means to be unReconstructed, his recent interview with PBS, the GOP's complicity in Southern cultural genocide, his “debate” with BLM, Kyle Rittenhouse, gun rights, what I call “the archetype,” and the importance of localism among other hot topics.

Today’s Patreon-fueled shout-out comes from a patron who wants to say: “Vote. That's it. Just vote. Vote early. Take your friends to vote early. Vote in person. Vote early! Did I already mention that?” He did. And he has one more shout-out to go!Classes start today in-person at the University of Virginia and virtually in Charlottesville and for most pupils in Albemarle.  Students in Fluvanna and Nelson counties are also in class remotely. Louisa and Greene County are on the hybrid models with a mixture of in-person and virtual participation. (Virginia Department of Education Map) The Virginia Department of Health reports another 836 cases of COVID-19 this morning, and another two deaths. The seven-day average for positive tests has dropped to 7.5 percent down from 7.7 yesterday. There are another 13 cases in the Thomas Jefferson Health District, with eight from Charlottesville, three from Albemarle, one from Fluvanna and one from Greene. The district-wide percent positive rate dropped to 6.4 percent from 7.1 percent reported yesterday. The University of Virginia COVID-19 Tracker was updated late Monday afternoon and the official tally increased to 227 positive cases reported since August 17, with 186 of those listed as students. There were 18 positive test results reported for September 4, two for September 5 and six on September 6. Numbers for September 7 were not available at production time. *Efforts to bring more passenger rail service to Charlottesville came one step closer last week. The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation and other governmental entities completed paperwork for the expansion of a bridge that crosses the Potomac River. “Currently, there is insufficient capacity, resiliency, and redundancy to accommodate the projected demand in future railroad services,” reads the executive summary for the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Long Bridge Project. “The Project is needed to address railroad service demands and to ensure the Long Bridge Corridor continues to serve as a critical link connecting the local, regional, and national transportation network.”A series of recent transportation projects known as the Route 29 Solutions initiative included funding for a second daily train to come through Charlottesville on its way between Roanoke and D.C., but the current crossing cannot handle additional traffic. That has delayed the start of that services. The new structure will be owned by the state of Virginia and will carry two tracks adjacent to the existing bridge. The project also includes a new bike and pedestrian bridge. (Long Bridge FEIS)*While work continues on the long-running update of the Charlottesville Comprehensive Plan, the city is launching a review of the Strategic Plan, a document that guides “decision and policy-making” in city government. “The City Manager evaluates the performance of each department against their specific objectives, performance measures, and initiatives,” reads a press release announcing a series of five public meetings where the update of the current plan will be discussed. The current plan has five goals, one of which is to be an “inclusive, self-sufficient community.” Each goal has a series of metrics to see if the goal is being met. A dashboard for the current plan indicates the city is not meeting its goal to create more subsidized affordable housing units. The Comprehensive Plan is a different document that is mandated by state law that is more about government overall. “The Comprehensive Plan guides decision-making processes for matters related to land use, community facilities, housing, transportation, environment, economic sustainability, historic preservation, urban design, and more,” said city Communications Director Brian Wheeler in response to a question. “The two plans work together and the goal for increased affordable housing is a good example,” Wheeler added. The firm Rhodeside and Harwell is currently overseeing a review of the Comprehensive Plan while also drafting a new zoning ordinance and affordable housing strategy. That process is known as the C’Ville Plans Together initiative. City Council will hold a six-hour work session on the strategic plan next Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. *But first, City Council will meet tonight beginning at 6:30 p.m. for a long meeting that includes a public hearing on the issuance of $27 million in bonds, a rezoning for a car wash off of Long Street, and a resolution to prohibit firearms on city property.  There’s also a special use permit for a nine story building at 218 West Market Street that was deferred by the last City Council at their penultimate meeting in 2019. In Albemarle, the Architectural Review Board will consider a proposal that involves a car dealership replacing the Hardee’s at the southwest corner of Rio Road and U.S. 29. This project went before the Places29-Rio Community Advisory Committee late last month and Scott Collins is its engineer. “The applicant is looking to move his dealership over to this site and utilize a lot of the existing facilities on the site but make some improvements,” said engineer Scott Collins at the August 27 meeting of the Places29-Rio Community Advisory Committee. “The building itself would be reused with some minor modifications such as removing the drive-through canopy and removing the refrigeration on the back.”Buffering and landscaping appear to follow elements of the Rio Road Small Area Plan, which seeks to guide the redevelopment of Albemarle’s commercial strip area.  On Saturday, September 12, the Confederate markers in Court Square will come down. At 5 p.m. today, the Albemarle Board of Supervisors will meet to select an entity that will receive the statue, the cannon and the stack of cannonballs. “To date, Albemarle County has received offers from the Shenandoah Valley Battlefield Foundation, the Petersburg Federal Correctional Complex, a private citizen, Gordonsville Grays, Isle of Wight County Historical Society, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Civil War Museum at the Exchange Hotel, Trevilian Station Battlefield Foundation, and Hampstead Farm,” reads the staff report for the item. “A final list will be provided to the Board on September 8.” This is a public episode.

Protests ignited in cities large and small across North Carolina this weekend over the death of George Floyd. BPR was at a vigil in Sylva. A large crowd gathered at the bottom of the Jackson County Courthouse steps for a candlelight vigil around the fountain on Sunday evening. The event was organized by the local NAACP chapter and Indivisible. The group stood in silence for 45 minutes. Then Pastor Jo Schonewolf from Whittier United Methodist Church gave a benediction focusing on the children at the vigil. "And may we all go forward from this place working, so that the future that they live in is not the present that we inhabit right now," says Schonewolf. Throughout the vigil, a small group stood in the middle of the steps surrounding a Confederate monument inscribed with the dedication to: "Our Heroes of the Confederacy." There was a rumor that the vigil attendees might try to pull down the statue of a Confederate soldier - other similar statues were defaced across the country this

The COVID-19 pandemic has scrambled post-graduation plans for international students who want to find jobs in the U.S. The cost of the pandemic will lead the UNC System to seek millions of dollars in additional state funds. A judge has ordered the Sons of Confederate Veterans to return most of the money UNC paid as part of a shortlived legal settlement over Silent Sam. Many students who went home after UNC closed its campus have to keep paying rent for their empty off-campus apartments. Some North Carolina manufacturers have quickly pivoted to making emergency supplies. The stay-at-home order has prompted some students to pick up new hobbies.

A judge this week reversed a settlement between the UNC System and the Sons of Confederate Veterans, making the fate of the mangled Silent Sam statue again uncertain.

Lt. Gov. Dan Forest's stance on Planned Parenthood, possible campaign finance troubles for the Sons of Confederate Veterans and a state Senate candidate's position on women in office are among the topics discussed.

Question to Donna Martinez and Brad Crone – The Daily Tar Heel, the student newspaper for UNC Chapel Hill has filed a suit against the UNC Board of Governors to overturn the Silent Sam Settlement. Their suit contends that both the agreement to pay the Sons of Confederate Veterans $75,000 as well as the $2.5 million payment violated the North Carolina Open Meeting Law and both actions should be overturned. What’s your reaction to this lawsuit?

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill faced criticism this week for its decision to pay the Sons of Confederate Veterans $2.5 million, and hand over the Confederate monument Silent Sam which was erected during the Jim Crow era and loomed over the school's campus until it was toppled in August, 2018.

16.12.18 / 14:58 / Intersection of N Davis Ave and Monument Avenue / Monument To Jefferson Davis / This statue representing President of the Confederate States Jefferson Davis has been the site of ongoing struggle between protestors representing a variety of causes, from Black Lives Matter to Sons of Confederate Veterans and Virginia Flaggers / The Jefferson Davis statue is one of several representations of historical figures that mark the median of the central thoroughfare, which is walled on either side by the wealthiest residences in Richmond / Other figures include massive monuments to Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. In this recording, we hear cars passing on either side of the Monument / The statue has been repeatedly vandalized by anti-racist protestors / It stands as a painful testament to Richmond's all-too-recent history as the burned-out capitol of the Confederate States // All recordings, text, and photos by Katie Wood See the PDF: https://issuu.com/bivouacrecording/docs/60_minute_cities-_richmond

I was pleased to host Harry Watson, Professor of History at UNC Chapel Hill and James Ward, Sons of Confederate Veterans to discuss the controversy surrounding the removal of "Silent Sam" or "Soldier Boy" statue. This monument was toppled by students and others on August 20, 2018. Harry, James & I discussed the depth of the controversy - stemming back to its deepest historical roots in slavery, The Civil War, Jim Crow Laws, Confederate and Southern Cultural history, and present feelings that this statue (as well as others) have stimulated in students and others.   We explored both sides of the issue in depth, including the options explored and being discussed as to how to best resolve the placement of "Silent Sam" also known as "Soldier Boy," which is his preferred title assignment by the UDC United Daughters of the Confederacy, that originated the statue's commission. 

This week author Joel Moore and I will be joined by Barry Isenhour. He is a member of the Virginia Flaggers. Their web site begins: We are citizens of the Commonwealth who stand AGAINST those who would desecrate our Confederate Monuments and memorials, and FOR our Confederate Veterans. The Virginia Flaggers were organized on September 5, 2011. What began with just a few dedicated Southerners, has now grown to include hundreds of people, from all over the country, who have joined us in defending the honor of the Confederate Veteran, protesting Heritage violations, and forwarding the colors in Richmond, and Virginia… and beyond! To quote Barry Isenhour "I can bring light to the current situation on the Heritage movement fighting modern day politics trying to rewrite American history."      

This week's episode features Sons of Confederate Veterans member Marshall Davis. We discuss topics from the recent removal of Confederate statues on UT's campus to the use of Confederate flags during the Charlottesville march.

SHOW NOTES EPISODE #108: WE CAN'T WORK IT OUT This week Host Dave Bledsoe realized he is an American by birth and Southern by a tragic accident of geography. On the show this week we answer the President's question, the Civil War, good god, what is it good for? (Hint: The fundamental resolution of the issue of slavery marring our nation since it's inception.) Along the way we learn everything there is to know about the Transatlantic Slave Trade that anyone with a 9th Grade education should know, but doesn't. Along the way we take a deep dive in 18th Century macroeconomics, post Enlightenment political philosophy and why the South's population failed to recognize fundamental reality. (Hint: It's racism and religion.) We also examine the rise of the sex trade in the Netherlands, though that's really more of a vacation planning session. Our sponsor this week is the Sons of Confederate Veterans, celebrating big fucking losers for over 100 years. We open the show with them durn Dukes Boys and close with definitely not the Beatles.

J. Craig Williams and Bob Ambrogi discuss the latest Supreme Court decisions with Tony Mauro from the National Law Journal and Tejinder Singh from SCOTUSBlog. Together they review the fundamental rights in Obergefell v. Hodges, interpretation of legislation under King v. Burwell, and free speech in Walker v. Sons of Confederate Veterans. Tune in to hear a detailed analysis of decisions as well as predictions for the future. Special thanks to our sponsor, Clio.

In addition to discussing the decisions in Ohio v Clark, Brumfield v. Cain, and Walker v. Sons of Confederate Veterans, Brett and Nazim discuss (1) which case would be worse to lose, Obamacare or Same Sex Marriage, (2) who won the Confrontation Clause Wars of 2015, (3) what is the best way to stop Nazim from criticizing the TSA, and (4) what happens when your license plate contains accidental explicit sex language?

On this episode, we discuss the Court's decision this week in Walker v. Sons of Confederate Veterans, which considered whether the messages and symbols on state-issued specialty license plates qualify as government speech immune from any requirement of viewpoint neutrality.

The Texas branch of the Sons of Confederate Veterans has proposed a specialty license plate. Texas has refused to produce one. Wait, isn't this a free speech issue? Doesn't the First Amendment apply? According to our First Amendment Guy, Doug McKechnie, it all depends upon who's doing the talking. Join us!

During "The Quickie," we'll give a breakdown of the debate over the purchase of specialty license plates bearing the Confederate flag in Texas.

Charlottesville: “What happens to a dream deferred” wrote Langston Hughes in the poem Harlem. Hughes was referring to the frustrations of African-American life 90 years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Does the deferred Dream explode, the poet asked. What happens, ironically when the deferred dream is that of white supremacy and the Confederacy risen? Does it also explode? Charlottesville is the latest detonation in a process that has been left unaddressed for decades, for more than a century and a half really. Arguably since the founding of the United States. This piece from the FRDH archive is from 1995 is based on an evening I spent with the Sons of Confederate Veterans in Natchez Mississippi which nearly ended in a fistfight over the meaning of the Constitution. Hughes poem in full: “What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore— And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over— like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode?”
