Episode #617: June 27, 2003
Topics covered:
Strom Thurmond was very racist
Alex and John Andrews are mad about Mexican matricula cards, which are IDs issued by the Mexican consulate
John Andrews passed legislation in Colorado to limit the forms of ID which public entities could accept as proof of identity. This was supposedly about stopping undocumented immigrants from flouting the law, but it also really hurts citizens, particularly those living in poverty
In 2019, John Andrews gave a speech about how the freedom of religion doesn’t apply to Islam
The trend of restricting what forms of ID could be accepted by public entities continued and resulted in the Real ID Act
Glenn Spencer was an old school self-appointed border guard, and doubtless the inspiration for the people doing it these days, including these two criminals
Glenn Spencer is also an antisemite, who cites Kevin MacDonald in his writing
The story about gold bars being found in Iraq ended up just being bars of mostly copper from melted down shell casings
Alex doesn’t know the difference between JFK’s 1963 commencement speech at American University and his 1961 speech where he used the words “secret societies”
JFK’s speech in the UN General Assembly from September 1963
The quote where JFK said he was going to destroy the CIA is definitely not solidly sourced and probably isn’t real
