Josh Moon and David Person open the show by discussing the ongoing questions surrounding Tommy Tuberville's residency in Alabama, particularly in light of a recent report on his homestead exemption and the legal challenges he could face if he runs for governor. They delve into the constitutional requirements for the office and how evidence of where Tuberville primarily resides could impact his eligibility and potential legal battles.

Rivka Maizlish from the Southern Poverty Law Center joins the show to discuss the latest edition of "Whose Heritage Is It?", a report tracking Confederate memorials across the United States. She explains the historical context and purpose of these memorials as a form of propaganda, the progress being made in removing them despite recent pushback, and the ongoing efforts to educate the public about the true history of the Confederacy.

Josh and David continue their ongoing conversation about the challenges facing the Democratic party in Alabama and the potential Republican candidates for governor, specifically analyzing the political landscape and the strategic considerations for the upcoming election cycle. Plus, this week's Rightwing Nut of the Week.

Josh and David analyze the Trump administration's contentious decision to cancel a DOJ agreement addressing Lowndes County's severe sewage issues, linking it to the anti-DEI agenda and its harmful real-world consequences. They also scrutinize State Representative Corey Harbison's prolonged absence from the Legislature while still drawing a salary, sparking a debate on accountability and the problematic practice of voting by proxy.

Then, immigration attorney Ruby Adams provides insight into the pervasive fear within immigrant communities, the challenges of navigating the legal system under the current administration, and the alarming implications of disregarding due process exemplified by cases like Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. She touches on the chilling effect on reporting crimes and accessing education due to this environment of fear.

Finally, David offers a "hot take" connecting the past handling of Osama Bin Laden to present-day concerns about due process erosion. This leads into this week's Rightwing Nut of the Week, focusing on Republican politicians engaging in performative and dehumanizing photo opportunities at a notorious El Salvadorian prison, highlighting a disturbing lack of empathy.
