Synopsis
In this episode, breaking news hits Coastal Carolina University: a taxpayer-funded employee who praised the murder of Charlie Kirk and suggested Congresswoman Nancy Mace should be next is no longer employed. Tara dives into the bigger issue of tenure in higher education, asking whether state-funded professors should be shielded from accountability no matter what they say or do. Joining the conversation is Pam Evette, South Carolina’s Lieutenant Governor and candidate for governor, who makes the case for ending tenure at state schools, empowering students to push back against bias in the classroom, and using financial leverage to drive change. The discussion also turns to illegal immigration enforcement, comparing South Carolina’s approach to Florida’s “all officers deputized” model, and whether similar steps could soon come to the Palmetto State. This fast-moving episode unpacks how colleges, politics, and law enforcement intersect — and what accountability should look like for those in positions of power.
