Of the things that the Trump administration has done, which one has stuck out to you?

Just give us a few examples.

Clint, I'm curious to put this in some kind of context.

What the Trump administration is doing now, which you described as having a certain degree of intensity, versus previous eras in American history, versus Trump won, because there's always a push and pull.

I mean, I imagine countries rarely do just clean memorialization of their sins, you know?

Oh, that is so important.

I get that.

So what you're saying is mostly the pushback is cultural, like it's cultural.

It comes from state governments.

But this is completely top down.

After the break, is it time to start practicing Black History Month differently?

So given everything you both have said, which is we're in this unusual position where the federal government is the major actor in, what do we want to call it, distorting, whitewashing history?

Both.

Pritifying history?

Any of those?

It's Black History Month, which is this month, in this year, in this moment.

Is there an argument for thinking of or practicing Black History Month differently?

Happy Fat Tuesday.

And why is it important to remember history and its difficulty?

Like, you know, even within families, people keep secrets for decades and decades and they don't like to talk about the bad things that happen.
