A school in Fort Worth, Texas, recently canceled a student production of which famous modern gay play? The Laramie Project Timber Creek High School officials did not explain the play's cancellation but suggested students put on a production of Mary Poppins or White Christmas instead. Officials said students would “still have an opportunity to read, discuss, and analyze the play” about the aftermath of the 1998 murder of gay Wyoming college student Matthew Shepard “during the school day.” Which GOP senator blocked Sen. Tammy Duckworth's (D-IL) IVF protection bill because it could lead to human-animal hybrids? Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), who also voted against the same bill when Duckworth proposed it in 2022, blocked the Access to Family Building Act, claiming protecting IVF rights would allow the creation of human-animal hybrids – called chimeras (Duckworth emphasized, “It does nothing of the sort"). Hyde-Smith also claimed the bill would legalize cloning and allow minor girls to become surrogates without their parents' consent. Students held a walk out at Owasso High School in Oklahoma. What were they protesting? Rampant bullying and anti-LGBTQ+ attitudes that may have led to Nex Benedict's death Nex Benedict was a trans student at Owasso who died last week, just a day after getting beaten in a school bathroom. “There's been bullying issues. This time, the bullying has gone so far that a student passed,” one former student said. Which animal was recently photographed having gay sex, sending the Internet into a frenzy of jokes? Humpback whales Humpback whales have never been observed having sex, but two randy males were filmed having a gay old time off the coast of Hawaii. A just-released research paper documents the encounter between the two males and notes that the two circled a boat off the coast before diving down a few meters below the surface to get it on. However, scientists don't call animals “gay,” “lesbian,” “bisexual,” or “queer” because the word connotes a human sexual orientation with strong cultural and political implications that are irrelevant to non-human species. Which governor recently blasted Republicans for elevating the rights of rapists over folks who desperately want to build families? Gavin Newsom (D-CA) In the wake of Alabama's anti-IVF ruling, Gov. Newsom accused the party of family values of granting more rights to rapists than to families, referring to the fact that GOP-led states continue to enact strict abortion laws that prevent people from obtaining an abortion even when they have become pregnant from rape while at the same time limiting access to IVF. 44-year-old Tristan Schukraft runs a telemedicine platform that provides free online PrEP for anyone with or without insurance, as well as STI testing in all 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico. What is the name of the platform? Mistr Schukraft thinks zero HIV infections are within our grasp and told LGBTQ Nation this week that we owe it “to those that lost their lives at the peak of the epidemic” to get there. What did the American Psychological Association (APA) recently say about gender-affirming care for minors? State laws should not restrict it The APA announced a new policy resolution on Wednesday, opposing state laws restricting access to gender-affirming care for minors. The resolution said the laws are “a direct threat to the mental health and emotional well-being of transgender, gender-diverse, and nonbinary youth." The resolution also said that equating gender-affirming care to child abuse has created a distorted perception of the "necessary psychological and medical care."

This week's Open Mic guest is Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith. The Mississippi Republican stands firm on protecting farmers in her Delta state. She recognizes the financial challenges of writing a new farm bill and believes funding in the Inflation Reduction Act would be better served by bolstering the overall safety net for farmers than existing conservation programs. Hyde-Smith discounts the idea of an Adjusted Gross Income means test for farmers in the crop insurance program andjoins a long list of agriculture groups and other legislators who disagree with the USDA's administration of ERP funds. Hyde-Smith says livestock farmers need relief from losses caused by predatory animals.

Hyde-Smith's block of a Biden nominee has critics questioning the 'blue slip' tradition, again. Congress must pass a pandemic preparedness reauthorization bill. And Republicans respond to Trump's history-making arraignment. Megan Mineiro has your CQ Morning Briefing for Wednesday, April 5.

While at the SCI convention in Nashville, Mia had a chance to chat with Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith—the pair visited about hunting, southern fare, and how we can help our legislators.

THE THESIS: Need a break from the serious, heavy topics? So do I. Behold, the wisdom of Whoopi, the depth and brilliance of Kammi Harris, the science of Joe Biden. Here's the thesis: the Democrats are the evil and scheming half of The Party, we can see in them the result of choosing so called leaders by their body parts and melanin levels. God tells us we are not to call people fools, but we are absolutely called to discern their character and so, today, we shall do just that.  THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:  1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” The Fool (Proverbs 26:1-11) THE NEWS & COMMENT: Ah . . . the wisdom of Whoopi: [AUDIO] - Whoopi: "The archbishop of San Francisco is calling for speaker Nancy Pelosi to be denied receiving Communion because of her pro-choice stance ... this is not your job, dude. That is not up to you to make that decision." It's not just Whoopi. The Democrat ladies of The View have never once read the Constitution.  [AUDIO] -  The View Cries Violation of Church and State to Deny Pelosi Communion Aaahhhh . . . the brilliance of Kami [AUDIO] -  Kamala has her own ‘please clap' moment, then cackles like a maniac. She is so cringe. Compared to this woman.  [AUDIO] - Pro-Life mom ends the career of prominent Democrat Congressman on live TV in just under 10 seconds. Watch - Catherine Glenn, Catherine Glenn Foster, M.A., J.D. President & CEO, Americans United for Life It's not simply senility. Joe Biden is a congenital liar.  [AUDIO] - Joe Biden has always been a rank liar Which makes it easy for The Party to cause him to speak slop like this, because he simply doesn't care about truth  . . .  [AUDIO] -  WATCH: Biden says ‘everybody' should be worried about monkeypox outbreak: “We're working on it hard to figure out what we do and what vaccine, if any, might be available for it.”   Which also makes it easy for the people who run Joe Biden to have this man attached to the regime . . .  [AUDIO] -  Q: “Is it more environmentally friendly to develop and produce oil and gas” in the U.S. or in foreign countries, like Venezuela?  Biden Interior Secretary: “I'm not an economist” Sen.

Merryn talks to Luke Hyde-Smith of Waverton Investment Management about the current state of the markets, and how to invest into the kind of inflationary environment we have now.

In this episode we are joined by Waverton's Luke Hyde-Smith, Co-Head of Multi Asset Strategies and Lorenzo Marchioni, Head of Private Markets who set out the case of allocating to Private Markets. We begin by identifying the problem we are trying to solve by investing in the non-listed space and outline the historical context.

A federal emergency relief program targets those facing rent and utility hardships due to the coronavirus pandemic.Then, understaffing in prisons across Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama has been a problem for years. We examine why it's so difficult to find and keep new correctional officers.Plus, in our second installment of Your Vote, Your Voice, we explore the different efforts and perspectives shaping the debate over extended early voting.Segment 1:Tenants in Mississippi who are behind on their rent and utility bills due to the coronavirus pandemic can now apply for emergency rental assistance through a federal relief program. Mississippi Home Corporation is administering the emergency rental assistance program tasked with allocating $186 million in aid to tenants who facing financial hardships brought on by lost income, unemployment or increased expenses because of the pandemic. Executive Director Scott Spivey shares more with our Desare Frazier. Segment 2:Across the Gulf States prisons are understaffed, which can mean dangerous and unstable conditions for prisoners and guards. Mississippi is addressing the issue head-on with a unique approach. From the Gulf States Newsroom, Becca Schimmel takes a look at that recruitment effort and examines why it's so difficult to retain correctional officers. Segment 3:In the 2020 election, more than one in six of the 1.3 million ballots cast in Mississippi were some form of absentee ballot. This record coincided with a nation-wide trend - due to the coronavirus pandemic - of larger than usual early and absentee voting. Since then, the record use of mail-in and absentee ballots have brought with it unsubstantiated claims of election fraud and insecurity, propagated by many high profile Republicans - including three of Mississippi's House delegation and Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith. All four voted against the certification of the 2020 election results, and Senator Hyde-Smith received national attention for her comments on Sunday "Souls to the Polls" voting.False allegations of fraud and insecurity aside, the 2020 election did reveal a nation-wide appetite for expansion of early voting options, including mail-in ballots. Your Vote, Your Voice explores the different efforts and perspectives shaping the debate over extended early voting in Mississippi. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The federal Paycheck Protection Program is extending its second draw loan window. We hear from the Bankers' Association on where the aid is going.Then, in recognition of National Child Abuse Awareness Month, we examine the roots of issue and how Mississippians can help.Plus, faith leaders respond to the new Georgia voting laws and comments made by a Mississippi Senator.Segment 1:Mississippi businesses still struggling because of the coronavirus pandemic are getting an extension to apply for loans through the Paycheck Protection Program. The program subsidizes businesses that have lost revenue because of the pandemic, and if applicants provide proof that revenue was lost, the loan will be forgiven. This is the second draw of relief loans- after high demand for the initial allocation in the spring of 2020 cause the fund to run out. Gordon Fellows, with the Mississippi Bankers Association, says the second round of the program includes better fraud protection and opens the door to sole-proprietor businesses.Segment 2:Experts are concerned that many cases of child abuse in Mississippi are not being reported. Around 10 thousand children in the state are victims of abuse each year, but not as many cases are being reported during the coronavirus pandemic. Mississippi's Child Protective Services Commissioner Andrea Sanders says more children are staying home because of the pandemic. She tells our Kobee Vance, the drop in reported cases is actually a cause for alarm.Segment 3:Pastors in Mississippi are joining a national effort condemning comments by Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith against early voting on Sundays, and rebutting Georgia's new voting laws. During a U.S. Senate hearing on a Democratic-sponsored bill to expand voting rights, lawmakers began discussing a recent law in Georgia that prevents early voting on Sunday. After church, Black congregations go to the polls together to cast their votes. Reverend Jeffery Gladney of Red Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church in Tupelo says preventing Sunday voting is voter suppression. He tells our Kobee Vance he signed a petition along with more than 11 thousand nationwide asking Hyde-Smith to reverse her statements.. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Mississippians head to the polls today to elect federal leaders and determine the fate of three ballot measures. The Secretary of State breakdown what voters need to know on this Election Day.Then, this year's rematch for the Senate is expected be tighter than the 2018 special election. We talk to a Mississippi based pollster on how this race is different.Plus, in a string of campaign rallies, the President has suggested he might challenge the results of the election. We examine the history and process of contested elections. Segment 1:Mississippians are heading to the polls today to cast their ballots, and the turn out could be one of the biggest the state has seen. Around 113 thousand new voters have recently registered, increasing the active roll in the state to 1.9 million. There are reports of long lines outside polling precincts as voting began this morning at 7:00. According to the Secretary of State's website, nearly 50 polling locations have been moved, but not all precincts are reporting location changes. We share info from Secretary Michael Watson.Segment 2:One election the ballot today might look familiar to some voters. That's because it presents a rematch of a 2018 Special Election between then-appointed Senator Cindy-Hyde Smith and former Secretary of Agriculture Mike Espy. Hyde Smith won that initial meeting by seven points and is now running as an incumbent for a full six-year term. Once again, Espy is her primary challenger. But this time, some polling indicates the race could be tighter.Brad Chism is the President of Chism Strategies. He shares with our Ashley Norwood how the 2020 version of this match-up differs from the special election, and discusses the factors that could play a role in its outcome.Segment 3:When Justice Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation was rushed through mere weeks ahead of the election, dissenters claimed her appointment was a calculated move to tilt the court favorably for President Donald Trump in the event the Supreme Court had to rule on any election disputes. Recently, the President has intimated he would have lawyers ready to challenge results in key swing states. The talk of contested elections conjures memories of the 2000 election - one in which a Supreme Court decision regarding the certification of Florida's votes ultimately handed the Presidency to George W. Bush. In part two of our conversation with Mississippi College School of Law Professor Matt Steffey, we revisit that election and examine the process for contested elections.

Mississippi Today's political reporters break down the biggest storylines of the 2020 U.S. Senate race between Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith and Mike Espy, and they discuss what they'll be watching on Election Day. 

State officials begin the process of assessing the damage on the coast after Hurricane Zeta raced through southern Mississippi.And, days away from the election, the two leading Senate candidates make their final appeals to voters.Then, those casing ballots will decide the fate of a Jim Crow era constitutional provision. We examine the law historians say was designed to keep Black Mississippians out of office. Plus, some Halloween fire safety tips.Segment 1:State officials are beginning to survey the degree of damage caused by Hurricane Zeta. The storm came ashore in southeastern Louisiana earlier this week as a strong Category 2 hurricane before moving swiftly across the New Orleans area and into Mississippi. Governor Tate Reeves says the storm maintained its strength as it passed through the state's southern counties, resulting in significant damage. Greg Michel, Director of the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency says Zeta serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of tropical cyclones.Segment 2:Two candidates running for U.S. Senate in Mississippi are facing each other for the second time. Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith is the first woman to represent Mississippi in Washington. Her Democratic challenger Mike Espy is looking to become Mississippi's first black U.S. Senator since Reconstruction. The two ran against each other in a 2018 special election following the resignation of former Senator Thad Cochran. Hyde-Smith won by 7 points, but recent polls show that lead is shrinking.Segment 3:A referendum on the November ballot in Mississippi seeks to remove a Jim Crow- Era law historians say was designed to prevent Blacks from holding statewide office. MPB's Desare Frazier explains.Segment 4:Tomorrow is Halloween and the State's Fire Marshall says there are some key safety tips to consider - whether families are trick-or-treating or taking in a fall bonfire. Mike Chaney begins by advising parents to be watchful of costumes around flames or candles. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, who has laid low in the 2020 U.S. Senate race against Democrat Mike Espy, appeared in at least two open-to-the-public events last week. With just three weeks from Election Day, Mississippi Today Editor in Chief Adam Ganucheau and senior political reporter Geoff Pender discuss Hyde-Smith's strategy and the biggest storylines ahead of the Nov. 3 election.

Mike Espy was born and raised in Mississippi, and was Assistant Secretary of State, then Assistant Attorney General, before becoming a Congressman in 1986. He was the first Black congressman from Mississippi since Reconstruction, and then became Secretary of Agriculture under Bill Clinton, the first Black person to hold that position in our nation’s history. Now Espy is running to replace Cindy Hyde-Smith, who was appointed by a Republican governor after Thad Cochran retired from the seat. Hyde-Smith has a long history of engaging with racist Southern tropes, defending racist symbols, and supporting self-segregated schooling. Host Terrell J. Starr talks to Espy about running for Senate in the age of COVID-19, his work with different non-profit organizations, and American relations with the countries of Africa. Espy is an expert on trade, so he shares his thoughts on the tariff war the U.S. has been waging on China, investing in developing nations, and how a few rotten soybeans can be a symbol of a global market shift. Thank you for listening!

Mississippi Today political reporters spent a couple weeks digging into the Senate campaigns of Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith and Democratic challenger Mike Espy. What they found were completely different strategies and infrastructures.

Severe weather is anticipated across the Magnolia State this weekend. We have the details about what to expect. Then, new state officers are sworn in, and the house passes its first bill of the session.And, the 2020 senate race is set. We hear from the candidates.Plus, more on prison reform.Segment 1:An outbreak of severe weather is expected Saturday morning as an intense line of severe thunderstorms moves through the area. We welcome the National Weather Service in Jackson to tell us more.Seven of Mississippi's eight statewide office holders have been officially sworn-in. Among them, Lynn Fitch, the first woman to serve as Attorney General. Secretary of State Michael Watson and Lt. Governor Delbert Hosemann were also among the seven Republicans beginning their terms in state office yesterday.The Mississippi House has voted to pay the full cost for this year's teacher pay raise. The $1,500-per-person raise was approved during the 2019 session. But, officials later discovered a bureaucratic error that resulted in too few teachers being counted as the state budget was written. The error meant that too little money was initially set aside for the budget year that started July 1. Rep. Richard Bennett from Harrison County led the floor debate. House Bill 1 will cover the shortfall of more than $18 million. The measure now moves to the Senate where it is expected to pass. Segment 2:When Mississippians head to to polls in November, they will see some familiar names on the ballot. Republican Cindy Hyde Smith will once again face Democrat challenger Mike Espy for a place in the U.S. Senate. Hyde Smith filed for re-election last week. During her filing ceremony, she touted the appointment of conservative judges among the list of accomplishments she is most proud of during her abbreviated term. When asked about impeachment, the Republican told MPB's Desare Frazier that fairness is what is needed most.Attorney Mike Espy filed his election papers this week. He tells our MPB's Kobee Vance that his campaign learned a lot from the last race and that his team is ready to narrow the gap.Segment 3:Mississippi's prison system is transferring 375 inmates to a private prison after recent eruptions of violence. The state corrections commissioner says the prison system doesn't have enough guards to safely keep the inmate in state custody. The state signed a contract with private prison operator CoreCivic of Nashville. The inmates are being shifted for at least 90 days from the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman, where three people died and others were injured in violence last week. J. Robertson is with Empower Mississippi. He tells our Michael Guidry that the first step to reforming the system is addressing sentencing. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Real assets have grown in popularity in recent years, as an option to combat a low-yield from fixed income and perceived high equity market values. But what are real assets and how can they fit within a wider investment portfolio? My guest on the podcast today is Luke Hyde-Smith from Waverton Investment Management. Luke is Head of Third Party Fund Selection and co-manager of the Waverton Real Assets Fund, launched earlier this year. The fund invests in five broad real asset classes; property, infrastructure, asset finance, commodities and specialist lending. These investments are predominantly backed by tangible assets, often with some level of inflation linkage to the cash flows. My usual disclaimer then, because we're discussing a specific investment fund in this episode. Nothing in this episode is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold a specific investment fund. You should seek independent financial advice before making investment decisions. In this episode, we talk about the risk and reward profile of real assets, how access to infrastructure investments have changed in recent years, what some of the real assets in Luke's portfolio look like, and how real assets could perform under different Brexit scenarios. Here's my conversation with Luke Hyde-Smith from Waverton Investment Management in episode 462 of Informed Choice Radio.

The first podcast of 2019 might be our favorite so far! Penny Nance sits down with Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Mississippi) in her office on Capitol Hill. They discuss Sen. Hyde-Smith’s story, what it’s like to be a conservative female leader in Congress, and advice to young girls thinking about running for office.

This week's guest on Open Mic is US. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith. Speaking on the sidelines of the American Farm Bureau Convention in New Orleans earlier this month, the former state agriculture commissioner spoke in support of the new farm bill and the Trump trade initiatives. Hyde-Smith believes the pain of the current trade war will return better export opportunities for U.S. farmers and ranchers in seasons to come. Hyde-Smith stands behind President Trump's efforts to secure the U.S. border with Mexico and introduced legislation last week to use a portion of Chinese tariff revenues to fund border security.

In the last Senate contest of this election cycle, Democrats tried—but failed—to destroy an incumbent Republican with unfair charges of racism. In the runoff campaign of the Mississippi special election, Democrats focused almost exclusively on one foolish, insensitive comment by Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, who expressed her admiration for a local leader by saying “if he invited me to a public hanging, I’d be on the front row.” Dems saw a menacing invocation of Mississippi’s brutal history of lynching, and an attack on the black Democratic nominee, Mike Espy, while national media claimed Senator Hyde-Smith’s campaign was collapsing. When ballots were counted, however, she won easily—increasing her percentage of the final tally by 12 points over her showing in the non-partisan primary. While pundits may obsess on silly, off-hand and—yes—regrettable remarks, voters are less willing to enforce political correctness by punishing candidates for making them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, a Mississippi Republican, won the special runoff election yesterday, defeating the Democratic candidate, Mike Espy, who was trying become the state's first black senator since Reconstruction. Hyde-Smith will serve out the final two years of Thad Cochran's term and make history as the first woman elected to Congress from Mississippi. This sets the Republican majority in the Senate chamber at 53 to 47 once the new Congress is sworn in, a net pickup of two seats. Do the results in Mississippi provide any additional information about the American political landscape? If so, what? House Democrats chose their leadership today. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi carried the vote to be the Democrat nominee for House Speaker, the position she previously held from 2007 to 2011, the last time Democrats held a majority in the chamber. In the upcoming January vote, she must win the support of at least 218 House members. Earlier today, nine Democrats from the so-called Problem Solvers Caucus reached an agreement with Pelosi on rules reforms to advance bipartisan legislation. Those members will now support her bid for speaker. The phony left, represented by the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, mouth the right words but then sign on to Pelosi and the rest of the discredited gang. Are Ocasio-Cortez and some of the others engaging in realpolitik or rolling over? Her connection to Bernie Sanders is tainted by his sheep dogging for the Democrats.Opponents of the war in Yemen have picked up momentum heading into a critical Senate vote today on the Yemen amendment, which would end US support for the Saudi-led coalition. In a procedural vote, the Senate voted 55-44 against a similar measure in March, with 10 Democrats voting against it. But five Republicans voted in favor at the time. What's brought about the change in the Senate? The chamber is likely to advance the resolution after several Republicans and Democrats today expressed frustration with the Trump administration for refusing to fully brief lawmakers on Saudi Arabia's war campaign and the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Senators emerging from a closed-door briefing with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said they were furious the session did not also include CIA Director Gina Haspel, whom they want to question about the agency's high-confidence assessment that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman orchestrated Khashoggi's murder. Supporters say the measure is a vital step toward Congress reasserting its authority on matters of war after years of ceding such decisions to the president. It would also rebuke Saudi Arabia for its conduct in Yemen – which has sparked what UN officials say is the world's worst humanitarian crisis and led to thousands of civilian deaths.GUESTS:Dr. Joseph Graves — American scientist who serves as associate dean for research and a professor of biological studies at the Joint School for Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, which is jointly administered by North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and UNC Greensboro.

Despite the controversy that has roiledhercampaign for the past three weeks, Cindy Hyde-Smith has won the race for Mississippi’s Senate seat, overtaking Democrat Mike Espy, according to NBC News and the New York Times. The victory for Hyde-Smith, who has been serving in the Senate since she was appointed to replace Sen. Thad Cochran in April, was narrower than it might have been under different circumstances. Though her campaign stuck to a classic Mississippi Republican playbook, the candidate was plagued by gaffes, to put it mildly, which led to an underwhelming margin during the special election Tuesday.

The full broadcast of Boston Public Radio from Wednesday, November 28th, 2018. Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith has won the racially charged Senate runoff in Mississippi. She won the race after a video from earlier this year surfaced of Hyde-Smith saying that if one of her supporters invited her to “a public hanging,” she’d be “in the front row.” What does it say about America that voters have sent Hyde-Smith to Washington? We opened the lines and asked you. WGBH’s Executive Arts Editor Jared Bowen gives us a rundown of the latest movies, plays and museum exhibits in and around town.

General Motors announced today that it plans to idle five factories in North America and cut more than 14,000 blue-collar and salaried jobs in a bid to trim costs. The action follows similar job-cutting moves by Ford Motor Company in the face of slowing sales and a shift in consumer tastes, driven in part by low gasoline prices. And it drew fire from President Donald Trump, who vowed early in his term to increase auto-making jobs and brought pressure on the industry not to shift work to Mexico and overseas. Does this indicate anything about the US economy that President Trump has been heralding as the greatest of all time? The five GM plants will halt production next year, resulting in the layoffs of 3,300 production workers in the United States and about 3,000 in Canada. The company also aims to trim its salaried staff by 8,000. Does the 8K white-collar staff layoff indicate something in addition to the blue-collar layoffs?Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith brings the baggage of Mississippi and America into tomorrow's run-off election. President Trump is hosting two rallies for her today. They want to be sure that this one goes their way. Hyde-Smith, in paying homage to a supporter, is on record as having said if he invited her to a public hanging, she would be in the "front row." She also said laws that make it "just a little more difficult" for attendees of some of the state's universities to vote are a "great idea" in a video posted Thursday. “And then they remind me that there's a lot of liberal folks in those other schools who maybe we don't want to vote. Maybe we want to make it just a little more difficult. And I think that's a great idea," Hyde-Smith said. She also has issues about her relationship with Mississippi's Confederate and Jim Crow past. What signals does this send to you based on your research and experience?In the wake of some of the most powerful hurricanes on record and historic wildfires in California, the Trump administration's strategy on climate has been to try to bury its own scientific report on global warming. The Trump White House, which has defined itself by a willingness to dismiss scientific findings and propose its own facts, on Friday issued a scientific report that directly contradicts its own climate change policies. What's going here? The 1,656-page National Climate Assessment, which is required by Congress, is the most comprehensive scientific study to date detailing the effects of global warming on the United States economy, public health, coastlines and infrastructure. It describes in precise detail how the warming planet will wreak hundreds of billions of dollars of damage in coming decades. President Trump has often questioned or mocked the basic science of human-caused climate change and is now working aggressively to encourage the burning of coal and the increase of greenhouse gas pollution. Your thoughts first of all on the science behind the discussion of climate change or global warming.Mexico is planning to deport up to 500 migrants who stormed the US southern border yesterday. In a statement, the Mexican Interior Ministry said the group was rounded up after trying to cross the border "violently" and "illegally." Dozens of people, including women and children, were seen racing toward the border fence that separates the US and Mexico, even crossing through a sewage-filled river to get there. US border officers used tear gas against the group, which then retreated back away from the fence. The ministry said Sunday's actions did anything but help the migrants' objectives and could have led to a serious incident. Meanwhile, thousands of migrants remain in Tijuana with their hopes set on seeking asylum in the US.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Ahmed Rashid, a journalist and the best-selling author of “Pakistan on the Brink: The Future of America, Pakistan, and Afghanistan” and several books on Afghanistan and Central Asia, including “The Resurgence of Central Asia, Islam or Nationalism.”More than 17 years after US troops entered Afghanistan and overthrew the Taliban, that country is still in a state of disarray. In just the past 48 hours, at least 20 Afghan police officers were killed in a Taliban ambush, a US special forces officer was killed, three American soldiers were killed in a bomb blast, and the Afghan government announced that it may delay the upcoming presidential election. Tuesday’s weekly series is False Profits—A Weekly Look at Wall Street and Corporate Capitalism with Daniel Sankey. Financial policy analyst Daniel Sankey joins the show. A journalists group, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, has filed a federal motion asking that all documents related to a pending indictment of Julian Assange in the Eastern District of Virginia be unsealed. Federal prosecutors oppose the motion and say that a recent leak that seemed to indicate that a secret indictment already exists, was inadvertent and should not be construed as confirmation. Judge Leonie Brinkema, who reserves all national security cases for herself, will make a decision. Brian and John speak with Suzie Dawson. She is an activist and the president of the Internet Party of New Zealand. The Guardian is reporting today that Paul Manafort held secret meetings with Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London in 2013, 2015, and 2016. Manafort calls the report “100 percent false” and Wikileaks said there is literally nothing true about it. Meanwhile, the Special Counsel’s office says that Manafort has violated the terms of his plea deal by continually lying to investigators and should be sentenced to prison immediately. Coleen Rowley, a former FBI special agent who in 2002 was named Time Magazine person of the year along with two other whistleblowers, and Daniel Lazare, a journalist and author of three books—“The Frozen Republic,” “The Velvet Coup,” and “America's Undeclared War,” joins the show. Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, accused Russia on Monday of taking “outlaw actions” against Ukrainian ships in an incident at sea this weekend and vowed that sanctions punishing Russia’s annexation of Crimea would continue. Haley said, “outlaw actions like this one continue to make an improvement in US-Russia relation impossible... “The United States will maintain its Crimea-related sanctions against Russia. Indeed, further Russian escalation of this kind will only make matters worse.” Donald Trump’s comments however struck a different tone from Haley’s. Mark Sleboda, an international relations and security analyst, joins Brian and John. The Mississippi Senate race will be decided in a runoff election today that pits former Congressman and Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy against incumbent Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith. Hyde-Smith has found herself at the center of controversy recently over her previous support of Confederate symbols and monuments. Espy is the strongest possible Democrat to challenge Hyde-Smith, but polls show that the Republicans will keep the seat. Ted Rall, an award-winning editorial cartoonist and columnist whose work is at www.rall.com, joins the show.

Florida officials are investigating a racist social media post that shows the face of Willie Taggart, the first black head coach at Florida State University, superimposed over the body of a black man hanging from a tree. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, a white former state lawmaker who was appointed to the seat in April, is still favored over black Democrat Mike Espy in the reliably Republican state, which has not sent a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since 1982 But she has been engulfed in a political storm since a video surfaced showing her praising a supporter at a Nov. 2 public event by saying: “If he invited me to a public hanging, I’d be on the front row.” The comment caused an uproar in Mississippi, a deep South state with a history of racism and violence against blacks, including lynchings. Several businesses, including giant retailer Walmart, demanded that she return their donations. Hyde-Smith was also shown on another video joking about suppressing liberal student votes, and photographs have surfaced of her posing with Confederate artifacts in 2014.

In this episode, Neil, Natalia, and Niki discuss segregation academies, the death of an American missionary, and the declining market share of lingerie giant Victoria’s Secret. Support Past Present on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pastpresentpodcast Here are some links and references mentioned during this week’s show:  Mississippi Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith, who is in a runoff contest to hold on to her Senate seat, sparked backlash when she made an offhand comment about a “public hanging” that many perceived as racist. The fact that Hyde-Smith attended a “segregation academy,” as reported by this Jackson Free Press article Natalia recommended, shed important light on how she developed such a worldview. Last week, American missionary John Allen Chau was killed when he traveled to the remote island of North Sentinel. Niki recommended this viral thread by Twitter user @RespectableLaw on the historical context for the hostility of the Sentinelese to outsiders. Neil discussed the case of evangelical Jim Elliot, who was killed on a mission in Ecuador. Natalia recommended Sadatru Sen’s book, Disciplining Punishment: Colonialism and Convict Society in the Andaman Islands and Jonathan Zimmerman’s Innocents Abroad: American Teachers in the American Century. Lingerie giant Victoria’s Secret is losing market share, and CMO Ed Razek hasn’t been shy about disdaining new upstarts like Third Love. Natalia cited this Slate article about the founding of Victoria’s Secret to cater to men’s shopping needs. Natalia also recommended Elizabeth Matelski’s Reducing Bodies: Mass Culture and the Female Figure in Postwar America and this episode of the Sexing History podcast about “sweater girls.”    In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History: Natalia discussed the new movie Ralph Breaks the Internet. Neil recommended Natalie Escobar’s Atlantic article, “The Changing Ways Parents React to Their Kids Coming Out of the Closet.” Niki shared Joe Pinsker’s Atlantic article, “The 30-Year Reign of Lunchables.”

Paul Reed, a University of Alabama professor who specializes in the sociolinguistic history of Southern and Appalachian English varieties, said that the phrase first appeared in written works in the United States in the mid-1800s and that its usage peaked during the civil rights era in the 20th century.He said that the phrase had indeed once been used as an expression of regard. People would use the idiom to convey that they thought so highly of someone they would attend something as distasteful as a public hanging with him.But given its clear negative connotation, Mr. Reed said, most people would not dare to use the phrase in 2018. U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith demanded there be no audience or outside press allowed at tonight’s U.S. Senate debate and requested other restrictions, two sources familiar with the debate negotiations told the Jackson Free Press Tuesday morning.When she faces off against Democratic challenger Mike Espy at 7 p.m., only the debate moderator, panelists and the production team will be allowed in the auditorium—a requirement the Hyde-Smith campaign pushed for and the Espy team argued against.They Have Rigged This For Her to Win' A second source who also asked not to be identified, though, said the debate was "rigged."
