Miss New Jersey, Confederate Statues, Museum Relocation
Miss New Jersey breaks from the perceived script by suggesting that Confederate statues should be relocated to museums rather than destroyed, in order to preserve history. The hosts praise her for thinking for herself, though they joke about her pronunciation of "museum." They speculate whether she might be a listener of the show.
University of Texas Statue Removals and Historical Revisionism
University of Texas at Austin President Greg Fenves ordered the overnight removal of several Confederate statues from the campus main mall, including likenesses of Robert E. Lee and James Stephen Hogg. The decision followed the events in Charlottesville, Virginia, and a task force recommendation initiated after the 2015 Charleston church shootings. The statues are being relocated to the Briscoe Center for American History.
Takiyah Thompson and the Toppling of Confederate Statues
Student activist Takiyah Thompson discusses her role in toppling a Confederate statue in Durham, North Carolina, calling it the "only way" to combat white supremacy. She characterizes the statues as symbols of nationalism that must be crushed. The rhetoric used by Thompson is analyzed as reflecting a broader globalist agenda that seeks to eliminate all forms of nationalism, not just racial ones.
