Annie AndrewsGUEST
But yes, I mean, here, as a woman in South Carolina, there's example after example after example of the government trying to get involved in parts of our lives that they have no business being involved in, while they're ignoring the very basic functions of government like fixing our roads.
Annie AndrewsGUEST
So, you know, we've all witnessed this sort of drag to the right, the extremist right that we've seen in our South Carolina State House, which is really, you know, a result of partisan gerrymandering, which you certainly can trace back to our issues with the Supreme Court.
Jumelle BrooksHOST
Yeah.
Annie AndrewsGUEST
All of this is at the root of the rot of our government and true representative democracy in this country.

Mallory DittmerGUEST
And so it's about going and fighting for funding for this district, for this state to get ahead of these problems before they happen.
Mallory DittmerGUEST

Jumelle BrooksHOST
Jessica Beasley for South Carolina State House, District 11.
Bill KimlerHOST
You talked about the wealthy should pay their fair share.
Gavin JacksonHOST
Really quickly at the Statehouse on Thursday, October 15th, the Public Utilities Review Committee, or PERC, is holding a meeting at 1230 to discuss the merger of Dominion and NextEra Energy.
Gavin JacksonHOST
You can watch that on scstatehouse.gov. Something tells me we'll be talking about that a lot in the months ahead.
Gavin JacksonHOST
So stay tuned for that.
A.T. ShireHOST
Up in Congress, Congress is out, of course.
Tim GalsworthyGUEST
I also think perhaps it speaks to the fact that kind of a Obama government was a very kind of softly, softly approach to controversial issues, but effectively from 2015 and the Charleston mass massacre of black worshipers.
Tim GalsworthyGUEST
And then the subsequent taking down of the Confederate battle flag on the South Carolina Statehouse grounds, which had been moved from the top of the dome to elsewhere on the ground in 2000 because of NAACP activism over decades.
Tim GalsworthyGUEST
But 2015 onwards, it really becomes this flashpoint.
Tim GalsworthyGUEST
I think Civil War, you know, you can go through the litany of events, you know, Charlottesville in 2017, the taking down of Confederate monuments in 2020 after the murder of George Floyd.

I wanna see Paris-
Bill KimlerHOST

We really want to know what you think.
Bill KimlerHOST
Your reviews help others find us and spread the word about this show.
Bill KimlerHOST
If you do, we will receive from the South Carolina State House a special recognition for the many accomplishments of this show-
Jumelle BrooksHOST

Nick ReynoldsGUEST
Oh, sure.
Nick ReynoldsGUEST
So, um, my full-time job is I cover the South Carolina State House here.
Nick ReynoldsGUEST
Um, I do, you know, go foot back and forth to the low country, but I'm actually based in the state capital of Columbia.
Nick ReynoldsGUEST
And uh, I generally cover, on top of the State House, campaigns, everything from like, you know, the low state level s- uh, seats, uh, up to State House, up to when we have presidential candidates here, I cover those, to US Senate, to governor.
16 MINS LATER
Nick ReynoldsGUEST
Uh, you know, I, I think they kind of, you know, look at him in a vacuum to some degree.
Nick ReynoldsGUEST
But, um, you know, he, like he's, he just has this level of endurance that I don't really think, um, anyone really fully appreciates.
Nick ReynoldsGUEST
I mean, you know, if you, if-- This is a, a real throwback here, but, um, when he launched his, uh, re-election bid, h- or his election bid heading into 2024, um, he did it at the South Carolina State House just a couple blocks away from where I'm sitting right now, and I remember standing in that line.
Nick ReynoldsGUEST
Um, and it felt very, very low energy.
speaker_9HOST
Nothing.
speaker_9HOST
The South Carolina State Capitol, located in Columbia, South Carolina, 1907.
speaker_9HOST
For the 32nd time in a row, no documentation on a United States Capitol building held by the National Archives in their architectural master list.
speaker_9HOST
Their list contains thousands of structures, yet they haven't put a single Capitol building in here.
Michael MurrayHOST
And this is also inspired, you know, and Ann Powers talks about this.
Michael MurrayHOST
This is inspired by the Civil Rights Activists' successful campaign to remove the Confederate flag from the South Carolina Statehouse.
Michael MurrayHOST
So we have one song about the flag not coming down and one song inspired by the fact,
Mike CooleySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
you know,
Bobby CapucciHOST
Look, you wanna support your dad, I get that, but your mother and your brother are laying dead because of your father.
Bobby CapucciHOST
How the hell does anyone support their father in a situation like that? The press conference is set to be held at the South Carolina State House grounds near the Court of Appeals, where Murdaugh's attorneys filed their retrial request just over six months after they lost his murder case.
Bobby CapucciHOST
You can file as many retrial requests as you want, and even if you were to get a retrial, does anyone think that the result would be any different on the back end? A jury convicted Murdaugh on March 2nd for the fatal shooting of Maggie and Alex at their family hunting lodge in June of 2021.
Bobby CapucciHOST
He was sentenced to two life sentences the day after his guilty verdict, and he has reportedly spent his time behind bars enjoying his celebrity status as he responds to fan mail, plays video games, and watches television.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Specifically, Herman points to the 1865 law making it a federal crime to send armed troops to an American polling place.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Where Shulkitus worries about the quiet misuse of lawful authority, Herman points to the loud, chaotic history of militarized elections, like the armed troops who barricaded the South Carolina State House in 1876.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Read side by side, you see two very different ways a republic can break.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Shulgatis wants officers to document their quiet doubts about legal orders, hoping someone higher up notices a pattern.
Vincent LloydGUEST
The nation itself, like Roof, had been blind to the ongoing presence of racism in its midst and, uh, blind to racism's symbols.
Vincent LloydGUEST
First among them, uh, the Confederate flag flying at the South Carolina State Capitol.
Vincent LloydGUEST
But because of Pinckney's witness and the witness represented, uh, by victims' families, um, uh, o-- families' offers of forgiveness, the nation was now beginning to notice and to transform.
Vincent LloydGUEST
Grace has practical political consequences.

Vincent LloydGUEST
As Stefano Harney and Fred Moten put it, quote, "The hold's terrible gift was to gather dispossessed feelings in common to create a new feel in the undercommons." Even as contemporary Black activists are weary of Christianity, it is hard not to see the Christian theological imagination at work in accounts of Blackness that the Instagram vernacular would label with the hashtag extra.
Vincent LloydGUEST
Uh, the morning after Obama's eulogy, a thirty-year-old activist named Brittany Ray Newsum put on another performance of grace and Blackness that echoed and transformed Obama's words.
Vincent LloydGUEST
Um, Newsum used the back of her white co-collaborator, James Jimmy Tyson, to step over a fence protecting a flagpole in front of the South Carolina State Capitol.
Vincent LloydGUEST
Flying from that pole was the Confederate flag, long a symbol of white supremacy.
