Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams address the irony of so-called “personhood laws” that claim to support a moral agenda while actually stripping citizens of bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom. Addressing the immorality of elevating the state-dictated privilege of zygotes above the constitutional rights of pregnant persons, this episode dives into the religious manipulation that underlies legal personhood strategies as used by anti-abortion lobbyists and ideologues. Taking Ohio as a model case, Kelley and Rev. Terry detail how special interest groups and the politicians in their pockets push personhood for embryos while ignoring the basic demands of living, breathing children and adults in unholy and altogether dangerous ways.   Links to discussed content:  Ohio Lawmakers reintroduce Fetal Personal Bill: https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/10/08/ohio-republican-lawmakers-look-to-regulate-abortion-push-against-constitutional-amendment/ Ohio GOP anti-abortion politics resurface at Statehouse after a few years in retreat: https://signalohio.org/ohio-gop-anti-abortion-politics-resurface-at-statehouse/ House Bill 370: www.legislature.ohio.gov/legislation/136/hb370/documents HB 370 Text: https://search-prod.lis.state.oh.us/api/v2/general_assembly_136/legislation/hb370/00_IN/pdf/ When Fetuses Gain Personhood: Understanding the Impact on IVF, Contraception, Medical Treatment, Criminal Law, Child Support, and Beyond: www.pregnancyjusticeus.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/fetal-personhood-with-appendix-UPDATED-1.pdf Ohio's Largest Bribery Scheme: www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/07/22/ohio-house-speaker-arrested-republican/ How 'fetal personhood' in Alabama's IVF ruling evolved from fringe to mainstream: www.npr.org/2024/03/14/1238102768/fetal-personhood-alabama-ivf Killing the Black Body, by Dorothy Roberts: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/155575/killing-the-black-body-by-dorothy-roberts/ Personhood Measures Issue Brief: www.acog.org/advocacy/abortion-is-essential/trending-issues/issue-brief-personhood-measures Kipling, the 'White Man's Burden,' and U.S. Imperialism: https://monthlyreview.org/articles/kipling-the-white-mans-burden-and-u-s-imperialism/ Music by Korbin Jones

This week, the Ohio House passed two property-tax related bills. Supporters say the bills will provide more than $2 billion in tax relief over the next three years and say the measures are the most significant property tax reform in decades. But according to others, the bills won't help all Ohio property owners and claim the bills do not go far enough in overhauling the current system. Separately another proposal from Ohio Sen. Andrew Brenner a Republican from Delaware County would completely reshape school funding. We will talk about the House bills as well as the proposal from Sen. Brenner to begin Friday's “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable.”

Sometimes, the smallest frustrations can spark the biggest changes. In this episode of American Potential, host David From talks with State Representative Tony McCombie, the first female Republican Leader in the Illinois House of Representatives, about how a dispute over a sandwich board sign outside her small café inspired her to run for office—and ultimately lead her state's GOP caucus. Rep. McCombie shares her journey from small-town business owner and mayor to becoming one of Illinois' most influential conservative voices. She opens up about learning from early political defeats, championing small-town values in Springfield, and finding purpose through public service. Her story is proof that one small step, driven by conviction and community pride, can lead to extraordinary leadership and lasting impact.

Host Radell Lewis breaks down every candidate running for Ohio Governor in 2026, cutting through the noise to give you the facts that matter. What You'll Learn: Vivek Ramaswamy (Republican) is proposing to eliminate Ohio's state income tax and lower property taxes to reverse the exodus of young Ohioans. He's pushing for increased energy production through fracking and nuclear plants, K-12 education improvements, tougher penalties for repeat criminal offenders (including psychiatric institutionalization), and promises to restore "open dialogue" in Ohio politics. Philip Funderburg (Republican) is a 10th-generation Ohioan and insurance agent from Englewood running on a deportation-focused platform. He's targeting "anchor babies, Haitians, and illegals" in his campaign messaging and frequently posts about Ramaswamy. While aligned with Trump's agenda, Funderburg wants to release the Epstein files. Jacob Chiara (Democrat) is a former Republican now running as a Democrat because he says the GOP "no longer exists" as he knew it. His platform includes boosting small businesses, fully funding public schools, expanding healthcare access, ending pay-to-play politics, and investing in crime prevention. Chiara criticizes both Ramaswamy and Acton, positioning himself as an outsider tired of "politics as usual." Dr. Amy Acton (Democrat), Ohio's former health director, is prioritizing lowering everyday costs for Ohioans including groceries, gas, healthcare, and energy bills. She's committed to fully funding public schools, strengthening Ohio's economy, improving public safety, and addressing corruption in the Statehouse that she says "caters to billionaires and special interests."

  How do you go from hauling shrimp on the Gulf to hauling big reforms through Baton Rouge? In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Scott Simon, State Director for Americans for Prosperity–Louisiana, to trace his unlikely path: fisherman, construction hand, designer, community volunteer, state legislator, and now grassroots leader. Scott shares the “one small step” moments—raking baseball fields after his kids' games, organizing neighbors, knocking doors—that pulled him into public service and taught him how ordinary people create extraordinary change. Then Scott lays out Louisiana's recent reform surge and why he calls 2024 a breakthrough year: a universal school-choice program opening opportunity to every student, a simplified 3% flat individual income tax and broader tax reforms that set the table for future elimination, and pro-growth regulatory changes aimed at making the state a magnet for jobs and investment. He also reveals the ground game behind the wins—recruiting policy champions, mobilizing volunteers, and reminding citizens that good policy follows engaged people. If you've ever looked at a problem and thought “somebody should do something,” Scott's story is your blueprint to start.

Within hours of each other, multiple polls showed that Hoosiers are down on redistricting and their governor.

Send us a textIn 1994, our host Randal Wallace, was active in the leadership of the Lander University College Republicans. That year the long term Congressman from the Third Congressional District of South Carolina , Butler Derrick, decided to retire from Congress. That made the race for  Congress a wide open one to fill the seat.It was then that he got involved in the Congressional campaign of a one term State House member named Lindsey Graham.  It was a political friendship that would continue on until this day. Graham would win in 1994 and again in 1996, 1998, 2000, and then he would move on to the United States Senate in 2002, 2008, 2014, 2020, and he will be up for re-election again in 2026. He would become a national political figure as one of the leading people in the Congress of the United States. He emerged as a House manager in the Impeachment Trial of Bill Clinton, he filled the seat of Strom Thurmond, and lead the Republican Party efforts to answer any number of major issues plaguing the country both domestically and internationally.  His greatest accomplishment is most likely his efforts to end the stalemate over Judicial appointments that led to control of the Supreme Court eventually ending up in the hands of a conservative majority. In this episode, we look back at the man many have called the Senator of the 21st Century, Lindsey Graham. We start at his race for Congress in 1994, and we gather up a lot of the biographical materials the press put together during Graham's short campaign for President in 2016, Sadly, we could find nothing on the 1994 race on audio, but we do have an unusual source, the memoir of our Host, Randal Wallace, written from his materials in 2007 in his unpublished Memoir "The Eye of The Storm." We also follow Lindsey Graham's life at various times over the next 31 years.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

Several months have passed since Governor Braun signed a much-reviled property tax reform bill into law. As more people learn about the specifics of the bill, public sentiment is only getting worse. From local governments who feel they're losing too much, to taxpayers who did not feel they got nearly enough, the governor's signature issue of 2025 has become a major liability. On this week's Statehouse Happenings, Rob Kendall and Jim Merritt examine how the bill got so bad, and what, if anything, can be done to fix it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
