Tactics

It's the Tactics Independence Day Special!  Caleb discusses the influence of Christianity on the Declaration of Independence signed July 4th, 1776.  Dr. Mark Hall, Professor of Political Science at George Fox University and author of "Did America Have A Christian Founding?" joins the show to discuss the influence of Christianity on the Founders.  Caleb does a countdown of the top 20 most American songs of the modern era.  The National Archive's task force on racism (yes, that is a thing) decides the rotunda housing the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution is wrought with "structural racism" and should include "trigger warnings" and interpretative dance.  American Olympian Gwen Berry protests the national anthem at the U.S. qualifications, claiming she was "set-up," and Biden's press secretary defends her.

Three Alabama school systems hold Covid-19 vaccine clinics where school children can obtain vaccines without parental consent.  Teachers around the country are caught telling parents they know what's better for children than their parents.  Alabama House Rep. Andrew Sorrell (R-Muscle Shoals) calls the show to talk about his campaign to become Alabama State Auditor.  The Supreme Court rules 9-0 in favor of a Catholic adoption agency that refused to place children with gay couples.  Speaker Pelosi and President Biden's Press Sec. refuse to answer if a 15-week-old unborn baby is a human life.  The Catholic church moves to deny communion to pro-abortion politicians, and democrats respond by threatening to pull their tax-exempt status.  MSNBC's Joy Reid claims schools are teaching "Confederate Race Theory."

Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed issues an official statement celebrating Gay Pride Month.  Alabama Governor Kay Ivey and Alabama Attorney General Steven Marshall announce they will be running for re-election in 2022.  The children's show Blue's Clues features a drag queen attending a gay pride parade.  Two expensive private schools in New York come under fire for teaching very young school children sex education without parental consent.  Joe Biden has a long string of racist comments from claiming they can't get lawyers and accountants to implying they can't find a vaccine site.  In a special Chaplain's Report, Caleb looks to several scriptures on how a Christian should approach pride month.

Caleb hosts a round-table discussion about the new Supreme Court Case that has the potential to overturn Roe v. Wade with Sam McLure, Hayden Sizemore, and Matt & Laura Clark.  Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims she and her fellow congressmen have "effectively served in war" during the capitol riots earlier this year.  President Biden's nominee to head the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Administration, David Chipman struggles to define "Assault Weapon" at his confirmation hearing, and then he says he plans to ban the AR-15 because they are "particularly lethal."

The new Whataburger in Montgomery finally opens up!  The final session of the Alabama legislature comes to a close.  Becky Gerritson of Eagle Forum Alabama joins the show to give her overview of the 2021 Alabama legislative session.  The Supreme Court agrees to hear a case that could overturn Roe v. Wade.  Chris Cuomo of CNN claims that trying to outlaw abortion is all about dividing Americans by race and catering to the "Far-Right White Fright" vote.  Dr. Anthony Fauci admits he was wearing a mask all this time despite being vaccinated had nothing to do with science and was all for show.

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey announced the Yellowhammer state will no longer participate in federal unemployment programs aimed at providing Covid relief.  Col. Allen West encourages people to send Oreos to a democrat chairman after calling Rep. Tim Scott an Oreo.  Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez comes to the defense of Planned Parenthood by saying, "I'm a Planned Parenthood baby."

Alabama keeps all 7 of its seats in the U.S. House after the 2020 census, but Caleb lays out a plan for us to grow that number in 2030.  President Biden gives a speech to a joint session of congress and pushes radical spending and taxation.  Democrats, including Biden, fawn over there being a female Vice President and Speaker of the House at the same time.  After Sen. Tim Scott's speech rebuttal, the left loses their minds over him saying America is not a racist country.

Alabama's Senate passes a bill that would make it illegal for local law enforcement to enforce federal firearm restrictions.  A new bill in Alabama would create a state-protected gambling monopoly for the people that already own gambling venues.  Pew Research finds that liberals are nearly twice as likely as conservatives to have a mental illness.  Alabama Rep. Mike Holmes (R-Dist. 31-Wetumpka) phones in to discuss recent accusation of him being a racist.  CNN's Chris Cuomo says that once some white people's kids die, then they can start making changes to police and gun laws.  BLM Founder Patricia Cullors says it's ok for her to be filthy rich  despite being a Marxist because she's "supporting black people in my family."
