Alabama Governor Kay Ivey shows a very strong showing in her re-election bid based on a new poll. The ACLU sends a letter supporting the teaching of Critical Race Theory in Alabama schools to the State School Board after Eagle Forum Alabama and Alabama Policy Institute propose a ban on CRT. Mitt Walker of the Alabama Farmer's Federation calls into the show to discuss how recent changes in policy and law could bankrupt family farms in Alabama if not addressed. Alabama FFA Reporter Olivia Powers and Sentinel Brianna Payne sit down for an interview about the direction of Alabama FFA this upcoming year. The White House tweets that Americans saved $0.16 on food for cooking out on Independence Day this year. Josh Moon at Alabama Political Reporter claims Rep.

Ep. 315- One Nation Under God
Friday Jul 02, 2021
Friday Jul 02, 2021
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.
Chaplain's Report: God's Country (Psalm 9:15-20)
