Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The only successful coup in American history: how white supremacists 'stole a city,' and the 1898 Wilmington massacre
Q: Has justice ever come from what happened in 1898?
Collins suggests that justice has not been fully achieved; she argues reparations are a very appropriate remedy and emphasizes the need to repair the harm and acknowledge the full scope of the injustice.
NC News Roundup: Sen. Thom Tillis' message to Blanche; major decisions on mail-in voting
Q: What's the state of NC election administration and potential reforms being discussed?
There is tension between local boards and state oversight, with debates about provisional ballots, amplification near polling places, and the role of party appointments in coordinating election logistics.
NC News Roundup: Sen. Thom Tillis' message to Blanche; major decisions on mail-in voting
Q: How is Tillis navigating the Blanche confirmation amid Epstein victim discussions?

Watermelon salad, anyone? Summer dishes to keep you cool. Plus, a NC legislative wrap-up
Q: Harold in Durham asks what makes a lobbyist powerful and how influence legislation compared to other lobbyists.
Influence often comes from former lawmakers who know the real players and have ongoing relationships, plus the ability to deploy campaign cash; entities with broad donor networks can slow or stop bills through organized campaign contributions, making access and leverage a decisive factor.
Due South's storytelling hour
Q: What advice would you give to someone starting to tell their own story, especially when they fear public speaking?
Ray and Milbre stress talking from personal experience, keeping it natural and vulnerable, starting with what you've actually lived, and using audiences and objects to ease nerves while acknowledging that some may not like your story—yet that is part of the entry point into sharing.
