Ep. 1777 - Everything That You Were Told About The Civil Rights Movement Was A Lie
"I want to do this by partnering with organizations from the Boone Democrats to the Boone Republicans. I want to bring together different voices, dissenting voices, voices that may be more liberal or more conservative, in order that we can reach a point of sort of the radical middle."
Walsh exposed Tennessee Representative Justin Pearson's code-switching by contrasting video of him speaking in standard English at an expensive Maine liberal arts college with his current use of what Walsh called a 'low-IQ ghetto revolutionary' accent. Walsh compared this to Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'fake pastor voice' and argued both represent dishonest political theater.
