Part 1:We talk with Anders Croy, Communications Director, Florida Watch and DeSantis Watch.We discuss the relationship of DeSantis with the Florida Legislature. He is not dominating as before his abortive presidential campaign. $180 M was spent in Iowa, only to lose to Trump. Kitchen table issues continue to be dominant among Florida voters. There are other issues that are also important. Measles is rising among Florida's children, and likely to be transmitted to children in other states, because of the Fla Surgeon General's recommendations against vaccinations. IVF is a huge issue, and the the Legislature has retreated from the "Abuser Empowerment Bill" that had been ready to pass. The Chaplain bill, allowing chaplains to operate in schools is being anticipated by the Satanists, who expect to place their chaplains in schools. Payments to "consultants" are being scrutinized. Voters appear to be fed up.Part 2:We talk with Prof. Jonathan Feingold, of Boston University as part of Race Class.#RaceClass Ep. 26 | The Surprising Thing Brown v. Board & DEI Have in CommonIn this episode, we explore two things that Brown v. Board of Education and DEI have in common. The first is the story we know well. Both Brown and DEI have been openly vilified by the Right "a history that spans the Southern Manifesto to contemporary attacks on racial diversity. The second is the story that's almost never told. The Supreme Courts most celebrated decision and ongoing efforts to diversify elite institutions valorize and center whiteness "often in ways that naturalize longstanding patterns of racial inequality in the United States. The answer isn't to disown Brown or demean inclusionary commitments. But it is critical that we see how our prized equality-oriented achievements can undermine meaningful reform.Jonathan FeingoldAssociate Professor of LawBoston University School of Lawjfeingol@bu.edu | #RaceClass Podcast | research

John Day looks at the congressional statement drafted and signed by 99 congressmen in response to Brown V. Board of Education. The statement, nicknamed the […]
Now we move back to February 1973. Judge Sirica, always trying to insure his place in the sun, asks the Congress to investigate. The Senate happily complies, originally under the guidance of an enthusiastic Senator, named Ted Kennedy. There would be a fight about how the investigation would be handled, and what they would be looking into, and a partisan nearly straight party 77 - 0 vote. (Republicans decided not to vote) and a committee is formed.That committee would only look into the campaign shenanigans of the 1972 election. The Democrats had thwarted an attempt to include investigations that would have effected their former Presidents and the actions they took in 1968, 1964 and 1960. I am guessing they already knew the games they had played and wanted to insure nobody else would find out, while they worked to expose the Nixon campaign. Here we will go through the actual debates, from a well written article by former CNN analyst Jeffrey Lord, and we will hear from Geoff Shepard about the actions that led to the committee formation. It was also decided because of the blatant partisanship so far shown, that Ted Kennedy needed not be front and center and so a North Carolina Senator was chosen to lead the effort. Sam Ervin, one of the authors of the famous Southern Manifesto , an ardent supporter of segregation and foe to every Civil Rights Bill that had been offered up for the previous decade, but now , because of his role in Watergate, has had that part of his long and colorful history erased, as the left has canonized him as "The Senate's Greatest Constitutional Authority" and as the man who saved the nation from Richard Nixon. that Senator, Sam Ervin , would take over the committee and yet he would keep most of the Kennedy team in place to control the narrative they would develop over a ratings bonanza summer. You will see that narrative no longer holds water. Then we will hear President Nixon on the phone with his White House Counsel John Dean, as they discuss dealing with the Grand Jury and the Senate and as March rolls through Nixon will ask Dean to come to see him to discuss the matters brewing on the other side of Pennsylvania Avenue.

In 1956 Albert Gore, Sr. received national attention as one of only three senators from the states of the former Confederacy who refused to sign the infamous “Southern Manifesto” opposing the racial integration of public spaces. Lauded as Gore was by many for his decision, as Anthony J. Badger shows in his Albert Gore, Sr.: A Political Life (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2019) it was a product of a nuanced approach on the issue of civil rights in a changing time. The son of a farmer, Gore demonstrated his father’s strenuous work ethic in his efforts to earn a college education. After a rapid rise in state politics, Gore won election to the House of Representatives in 1938, where he served for fourteen years before defeating a longtime incumbent senator in a Democratic primary. As Badger demonstrates, while Gore’s “TVA liberalism” led him to play a key role in passing some of the major infrastructure legislation in the 1950s, the issues of civil rights and the Vietnam War ultimately led Gore to adopt positions that alienated his constituents. Though defeated in his bid for reelection in 1970, though in retirement this was tempered by his son Al’s success in winning election, first to Congress and then to the vice presidency, in the 1990s.
