When you post on social media, you're no longer.

00:00:01.945 --> 00:00:08.547
You're basically considered the press and the press is held to a different standard, so libel and slander are like a thing.

00:00:08.547 --> 00:00:20.850
Welcome back to the United she Stands podcast, the show that brings kindness and women into politics.

00:00:20.850 --> 00:00:21.731
I'm Ashley.

00:00:22.152 --> 00:00:31.660
And I'm Sarah, and we're two women from Ohio who are here to become more educated about American politics and build a community so we can all get involved and make an impact together.

00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:34.521
We hope we'll inspire and empower you along the way.

00:00:34.521 --> 00:00:49.465
Hello and welcome back to another episode of the United she Stands podcast.

00:00:49.465 --> 00:01:00.347
This week we're back at you with a co-host the co-host, aka me and Sarah, testing our knowledge on the episodes we have done so far this year in 2024.

00:01:00.347 --> 00:01:04.509
So, if you haven't been around for one of these before, my husband, Nick, plays host.

00:01:04.509 --> 00:01:16.811
We hand him the reins and give up the power and he goes through our past episode scripts and prepares questions and then quizzes me and Sarah on any of the episodes that are of an education nature.

00:01:16.811 --> 00:01:23.493
So things like our First Amendment episodes or 14th Amendment Not so much interviews and other stuff like that, but there's, I think, what did we pick?

00:01:23.493 --> 00:01:26.234
Six episodes, yeah, and other stuff like that, but there's, I think, what did we pick Six episodes.

00:01:26.275 --> 00:01:27.254
Yeah, I think something like that.

00:01:27.275 --> 00:01:35.197
There's six episodes from this year that Nick has pulled questions from that me and Sarah will play a little friendly competition and try to answer them and test our knowledge.

00:01:35.197 --> 00:01:37.138
So, Nick welcome.

00:01:37.558 --> 00:01:38.418
Thanks for having me.

00:01:38.418 --> 00:01:40.477
I know I'm your favorite guest emcee.

00:01:40.498 --> 00:01:43.159
You're our favorite host, I think, besides me and Sarah, obviously.

00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:45.462
Yeah, obviously I mean our only host.

00:01:45.462 --> 00:01:47.927
But it's fine, Go ahead, Take us off, Nick.

00:01:48.388 --> 00:01:48.688
All right.

00:01:48.688 --> 00:01:50.933
So here we go.

00:01:50.933 --> 00:01:59.343
We'll just kind of get started from the top, and again I'm going off the semi-honor system of whoever touches their head first and buzzing in to answer any questions.

00:02:00.183 --> 00:02:03.287
And let me just say Ashley and Nick are in the same room.

00:02:03.287 --> 00:02:08.633
We're doing this over Zoom, so there may be a slight lag.

00:02:09.373 --> 00:02:10.275
Oh, is that true?

00:02:10.715 --> 00:02:12.356
There might be, I don't know.

00:02:14.961 --> 00:02:15.705
We could find it out.

00:02:15.705 --> 00:02:18.120
If we think it's, I'll count down to three and we'll see how bad it is yeah.

00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:23.671
I don't know how we'd ever prove it out scientifically, but I'll see how close you guys are.

00:02:23.671 --> 00:02:30.885
All right, ready Three, two typically, but I'll see how.

00:02:30.885 --> 00:02:33.275
In how close you guys are, ready three, two, one, actually what?

00:02:33.314 --> 00:02:35.819
was that all right?

00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:36.923
whatever it'll be fine, it'll be fine.

00:02:36.923 --> 00:02:37.563
Yeah, we'll figure out.

00:02:37.563 --> 00:02:38.466
Look at the screen, not at me in person.

00:02:38.486 --> 00:02:39.609
Yeah, the points are all made up anyways?

00:02:39.628 --> 00:02:40.009
yeah, true, all right.

00:02:40.009 --> 00:02:52.368
So first question during this type of events, participants gather in a meeting-style format to discuss the issues at hand and debate among their own political parties.

00:02:52.368 --> 00:02:55.765
You're not going to let me finish the definitions, are you?

00:02:56.046 --> 00:02:56.508
Caucus.

00:02:57.069 --> 00:03:02.406
Yeah, Okay, I feel like we definitely hit our head at the same time and I was also going to say that.

00:03:02.406 --> 00:03:05.372
But Ashley, just spit it out.

00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:14.326
We should award the points, the points, to sarah on protest, maybe.

00:03:14.326 --> 00:03:22.973
Yes, yes, I think, yeah, I think that the key concept is here is people meeting among their own political parties and figuring out which candidates they want to put forward for uh, for presidential elections, right, yep, cool.

00:03:22.973 --> 00:03:24.836
Hopefully you guys didn't just read through all the show notes ahead of this.

00:03:24.836 --> 00:03:25.016
I didn't.

00:03:25.016 --> 00:03:26.219
I thought for presidential elections, right, yep, cool.

00:03:26.219 --> 00:03:28.776
Hopefully you guys didn't just read through all the show notes ahead of this?

00:03:28.798 --> 00:03:29.060
I didn't.

00:03:29.060 --> 00:03:31.087
I thought about it, but then I didn't.

00:03:32.223 --> 00:03:34.710
I thought about jumbling some of these, but we'll see.

00:03:34.710 --> 00:03:43.664
All right, this is the how Presidential Candidates Come to Be episode, the process of primaries, caucuses and national conventions.

00:03:44.205 --> 00:03:45.049
All right, let's do it.

00:03:45.389 --> 00:03:53.050
Next question this event known as the election before the election are how states decide who will be on their state's primary ballots.

00:03:53.050 --> 00:03:56.324
I'm just going to give it to Sarah, this time For President of the US.

00:03:56.784 --> 00:03:57.587
Primary election.

00:03:57.848 --> 00:04:00.306
Okay, sarah, bonus question for you.

00:04:00.306 --> 00:04:04.467
Uh-oh, how long does this process typically take?

00:04:04.888 --> 00:04:06.491
Oh, it usually takes about like two years.

00:04:13.020 --> 00:04:13.361
Yeah, nailed it.

00:04:13.361 --> 00:04:15.992
Oh, I should have made that an official question.

00:04:15.992 --> 00:04:22.646
Okay, so in relation to primaries, everyone kind of knows the most famous ones.

00:04:22.646 --> 00:04:26.757
There's open and closed primaries, but can you name two out of the other five types that there are?

00:04:27.100 --> 00:04:38.634
probably, if I think about it you guys can work collaboratively okay yeah, um there's like semi open will you take, I'm gonna say like a semi-open primary, because that's ohio, I think.

00:04:38.634 --> 00:04:45.793
Yeah, basically, like once you you can take either, but once you vote you're affiliated with that party.

00:04:45.793 --> 00:05:01.228
There's like the top I forget what they're called, but where you go and it doesn't matter the political party, just the top two candidates go to the I think that's called top two, and then there's top four, four, I think yep, yep, yep okay three.

00:05:01.490 --> 00:05:04.767
Well, technically you guys kind of hit four because you had the semi-open partially closed and partially open.

00:05:04.767 --> 00:05:07.379
Oh, okay you guys kind of hit four because you had the partially closed and partially open.

00:05:07.379 --> 00:05:10.428
They're kind of like similar concepts.

00:05:10.428 --> 00:05:11.745
There's one other one.

00:05:13.682 --> 00:05:16.091
Is it a combination of words you've already said?

00:05:17.100 --> 00:05:18.005
It's kind of a weird one.

00:05:18.005 --> 00:05:20.067
It's open to unaffiliated.

00:05:20.067 --> 00:05:31.315
I guess it's where unaffiliated voters may choose which party primary they want to vote in, but then voters affiliated with other parties can't cross over okay.

00:05:31.336 --> 00:05:44.627
So if you're, if you're not like yeah, if you haven't declared a political party, like if you're independent, you can pick which one you want to vote for gotcha yeah cool go team yeah okay, guys, um, believe it or not, that's kind of the end of the content on that one.

00:05:44.627 --> 00:05:51.745
Episode one, I feel like we get a green star, green checkmark, gold star, green star, yes, green checkmark, gold star.

00:05:54.007 --> 00:06:00.730
Hold on to that feeling of accomplishment because we're starting to get into the bulk of the detailed episodes.

00:06:01.370 --> 00:06:01.572
Yikes.

00:06:01.891 --> 00:06:06.721
All right, so the next one is next set of questions are going to be around the 14th Amendment.

00:06:06.721 --> 00:06:42.783
So while, yeah, hope you brought your thinking cap, while the 14th Amendment is better known for aspects relating to racial equality, such as the Equal Protections Clause and repealing the Three-Fifths Clause of the original Constitution and its involvement in subsequent famous litigation, such as brown versus the board of education, there is a lesser known section that has recently been in the news as it gives congress the authority to bar public officials who took an oath of allegiance to the us constitution from holding an office and if they engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the constitution.

00:06:42.783 --> 00:06:45.509
Do you guys know which section it was?

00:06:45.509 --> 00:06:52.651
There are five sections section four sarah section three section three.

00:06:53.252 --> 00:07:01.968
That was a bit picky one, but it's really hard to uh yeah well, I know, when you read all the stuff you read, I was like I feel like he's giving us all the answers to anything I would have asked in this.

00:07:01.988 --> 00:07:12.382
I think that highlights the point of this is most of the 14th amendment that you know about has nothing to do with the, the insurrection piece, until very recently yes, and what?

00:07:12.584 --> 00:07:12.843
what is?

00:07:12.843 --> 00:07:15.290
What are you talking about, nick, very recently, for why?

00:07:15.850 --> 00:07:28.353
I think we'll get into some of this um so, as it relates to section three, we kind of went through the definition, but what was the real intent behind this section when it was put into the the constitution?

00:07:28.834 --> 00:07:30.074
it was to.

00:07:30.074 --> 00:07:53.725
There's got the most flummoxed look on her face and actually bringing in to the intention behind it was basically to stop like confederate people who had been from the confederate and you know like tried to overthrow the government during the civil war from like getting back into power yes, even after obtaining a pardon from the the president.

00:07:53.745 --> 00:07:57.494
Yeah, um, it can be overridden.

00:07:57.494 --> 00:08:07.173
You guys know how that, uh, someone who has been convicted of insurrection or rebellion can get back into government.

00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:10.588
I would guess two-thirds vote in Congress, but I don't know.

00:08:11.009 --> 00:08:15.630
Yes, so two-thirds vote in Congress will still get them there there was nothing else.

00:08:16.521 --> 00:08:19.370
It seems like that was maybe one option, but that's the only option.

00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:23.110
That's the only option in here, got it Nice, Good job Ash.

00:08:23.110 --> 00:08:31.033
Which is all important when you think about it, because this has all come about because of former president donald trump's uh current situation.

00:08:31.033 --> 00:08:50.711
So, yes, um, there are states who are trying to actively keep him off the ballots and it would take two thirds of a very uh segregated congress to actually allow him back in if he were to be convicted of that well, sorry, real quick just yeah, if you're clear on that, check me that was true when we recorded that episode.

00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.307
The Supreme Court has since ruled he can be on the ballot.

00:08:54.307 --> 00:09:04.268
So, yeah, no matter what the states were trying to do, yes, on the ballot, he could be president of the United States, even after trying to have an instruction in the capital you what's funny.

00:09:04.307 --> 00:09:17.289
I kind of forgot that all of the stuff with the 14th Amendment even though we did a whole episode on it with states trying to get him off the ballot was a thing because of all of the more recent happenings.

00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.528
Yeah, he's been convicted, felon and all the other things, so yeah.

00:09:21.181 --> 00:09:23.448
Oh yeah, that also happened somewhat recently.

00:09:23.708 --> 00:09:24.208
Yeah, well time.

00:09:24.208 --> 00:09:25.769
So yes, I'm like oh yeah, that also happened somewhat recently.

00:09:25.769 --> 00:09:26.071
Yeah, well time.

00:09:26.071 --> 00:09:29.251
Walk it back, just to kind of put a bow on this kind of fond memory.

00:09:29.251 --> 00:09:35.817
Um, can you guys name the first two states that actually barred donald trump from their state ballots?

00:09:36.057 --> 00:09:44.804
I can do one same colorado the other one is like it's a northeast state, it's like maine or new hampshire.

00:09:44.804 --> 00:09:45.988
I want to say new hampshire feels right, maybe what is.

00:09:46.008 --> 00:09:46.710
It's a northeast state.

00:09:46.710 --> 00:09:47.692
It's like Maine or New Hampshire.

00:09:47.712 --> 00:09:49.116
I want to say New Hampshire feels right.

00:09:49.116 --> 00:09:49.337
Maybe.

00:09:49.337 --> 00:09:49.578
What is it?

00:09:49.578 --> 00:09:49.818
It's Maine.

00:09:49.818 --> 00:09:57.133
Oh, but I knew it was like one of those northeast states where the secretary of state from one of those states was yeah.

00:09:57.332 --> 00:10:01.340
Yes, and Ash.

00:10:01.340 --> 00:10:02.383
As you alluded to, the Supreme Court has stepped in.

00:10:02.383 --> 00:10:02.903
Do you know what the name?

00:10:02.903 --> 00:10:05.490
This is one of the few court names I'm going to ask you for court rulings.

00:10:05.490 --> 00:10:19.195
You know what the name of that case was, since it seems maybe good trump v colorado, you know 50 trump v not a state I don't remember it's trump anderson.

00:10:19.554 --> 00:10:35.605
Yes, trump v anderson she's got the show notes up I do, do not we cannot see her screen, so we don't know what's going on over there, but I don't have anything open that's kind of the gist of that episode and, ash, you kind of.

00:10:35.820 --> 00:10:37.888
I did prep that one, so it came back a bit.

00:10:38.822 --> 00:10:45.503
I was going to say you kind of tied in nicely where things currently stand with that, but yes, you also killed it well I remember it.

00:10:45.524 --> 00:10:49.903
I did not think I would remember anything, to be honest, about that episode, but you also didn't ask us for things.

00:10:49.903 --> 00:11:00.884
I thought you're going to be like name three court cases that the equal protection clause has been litigated against and I was like which you said brown, the board of education's one, I know just to go off the script here.

00:11:00.884 --> 00:11:12.832
I don't know the names of them, but I know, like the right to birth control was one, the Roe v Wade, I'm pretty sure was upheld, but the 14th amendment, so it's like those, like the right to same-sex marriage, those are the cases.

00:11:12.832 --> 00:11:13.537
I don't know their names.

00:11:13.537 --> 00:11:17.802
Besides Roe v Wade, that those are the cases, so that, like the 14th amendment has impacted.

00:11:17.802 --> 00:11:19.024
So it's a big deal.

00:11:19.323 --> 00:11:24.988
Yeah, and I didn't in kind of two thoughts with that, I didn't specifically cite it in kind of some of the future episodes.

00:11:24.988 --> 00:11:36.456
But you know, my takeaway is there's other amendments, other clauses throughout the Constitution that the 14th Amendment was then able to kind of retroactively allow the government to enforce at a state level.

00:11:36.596 --> 00:11:37.378
Yeah, that's the other.

00:11:37.539 --> 00:11:38.465
Had not done before.

00:11:38.524 --> 00:11:43.390
That's true, that's the other big thing was like the 14th Amendment, which actually we talked about in a lot of the first one episodes.

00:11:43.390 --> 00:11:45.535
Like the 14th Amendment, which actually we talked about in a lot of the first of them episodes.

00:11:45.535 --> 00:11:46.398
The 14th Amendment was what made.

00:11:46.398 --> 00:11:50.043
Basically it said like hey, the Constitution and its amendments apply to your states.

00:11:50.043 --> 00:11:52.504
Like your state can't overrule the Constitution.

00:11:52.504 --> 00:11:53.727
Yes, basically.

00:11:54.068 --> 00:11:56.817
Look at you, nick, you're learning stuff from our episodes.

00:11:56.837 --> 00:12:09.385
Thank you so much for hosting for us and I tried to be nice and not ask for like specific case names and stuff, except for earlier in there.

00:12:09.385 --> 00:12:10.346
That's really nice, nick.

00:12:10.346 --> 00:12:10.746
Very appreciated.

00:12:10.768 --> 00:12:13.091
All right, we're going to move on to our next episode Boss Ass.

00:12:13.110 --> 00:12:13.831
First Ladies, let's go, yeah.

00:12:13.831 --> 00:12:21.350
So I'm going to read you, we're going to go through all of them that you had, I'm going to give you kind of highlights of their accomplishments and I'm going to see if you can name them.

00:12:21.350 --> 00:12:22.451
But I'm going to see if you can name them.

00:12:22.451 --> 00:12:26.133
But before we do that, let's start with kind of a basic question.

00:12:26.133 --> 00:12:32.514
And can you guys list what some of the responsibilities are that the US Constitution defines for the First Lady?

00:12:32.914 --> 00:12:34.634
Trick question yeah.

00:12:35.395 --> 00:12:36.035
Correct.

00:12:36.395 --> 00:12:36.895
Nice.

00:12:37.436 --> 00:12:42.197
Ash has a little bit of advantage because she's sitting in the room and can read my poker face, which is not very good.

00:12:42.577 --> 00:12:44.778
Well, no, I didn't really.

00:12:44.778 --> 00:12:45.739
I just knew.

00:12:45.739 --> 00:12:47.922
I was like wait, that's like, not a Like.

00:12:47.922 --> 00:12:49.027
How many times do I talk about the Constitution?

00:12:49.027 --> 00:12:54.125
The first seven pieces outline government responsibilities and the First Lady ain't in there.

00:12:54.860 --> 00:12:55.684
Ain't in there.

00:12:56.779 --> 00:12:59.587
So it's kind of been up to them to forge their own paths.

00:12:59.587 --> 00:13:07.254
All right, so this one I got to scroll a little bit because I put them in sequential order and I don't want to read them in sequential order because that's cheating Fair.

00:13:07.254 --> 00:13:15.927
This first lady was a lifelong advocate for mental health, sarah, I should know let's give her her full credit, but Sarah can answer it.

00:13:15.927 --> 00:13:16.549
Okay.

00:13:16.549 --> 00:13:22.784
Established the modern office of the first lady and set up her office in the East Wing, which is that president for future.

00:13:22.784 --> 00:13:31.087
First ladies Worked for Habitat for Humanity, was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for advocacy work and wrote five books, sarah.

00:13:32.211 --> 00:13:33.192
Rosalind Carter.

00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:41.748
Rosalind Carter, according to all of your phonetic spellings throughout your show notes I forget that Nick sees our show notes.

00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:44.908
Yeah, he sees all our little notes and our show notes.

00:13:45.500 --> 00:13:45.900
Our episode scripts.

00:13:45.900 --> 00:13:46.422
That's our show notes.

00:13:46.422 --> 00:13:48.086
Yeah, he sees all our little notes, all our show notes, our episode scripts.

00:13:48.105 --> 00:13:48.586
That's what he sees.

00:13:48.807 --> 00:13:50.471
Yes, yes, rosalyn.

00:13:50.812 --> 00:13:51.513
Rosalyn.

00:13:51.513 --> 00:13:52.875
Yes, yes, my girl.

00:13:53.256 --> 00:13:55.684
Okay, okay, let's do this one.

00:13:55.684 --> 00:14:02.365
This first lady earned degrees from Princeton and Harvard Law School, so she's already buzzing in.

00:14:02.365 --> 00:14:03.308
She's destroying it.

00:14:03.308 --> 00:14:10.567
Once in the White House, she started multiple programs and initiatives, including the let's.

00:14:10.567 --> 00:14:13.013
Move program, which aims to reduce childhood obesity.

00:14:13.013 --> 00:14:19.042
The Joining Forces initiative, which aims to support service members, veterans and their families.

00:14:19.042 --> 00:14:23.201
The Reach Higher initiative, which focused on higher education and career support for students.

00:14:23.201 --> 00:14:28.312
The Let Girls Learn initiative, which promoted education for adolescent girls around the globe.

00:14:28.312 --> 00:14:32.048
So, very yeah started a lot of different initiatives and programs.

00:14:32.610 --> 00:14:37.168
Let's say it together Three, two, one, michelle Obama.

00:14:37.488 --> 00:14:38.691
Yep Bessie Lady.

00:14:39.091 --> 00:14:39.613
That's so funny.

00:14:39.613 --> 00:14:44.799
From my Zoom I just saw Ashley's mouth move.

00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:46.385
I didn't actually hear her say it.

00:14:46.385 --> 00:14:52.206
I know how that's going to come through on the recording, but can confirm Ashley and I did say it at the same time.

00:14:52.989 --> 00:14:55.293
Fair enough, you guys are doing good, all right.

00:14:55.293 --> 00:15:00.950
Next one this first lady was First Lady during the Great Depression in World War II.

00:15:00.950 --> 00:15:22.111
Ash is already ringing in, but again we'll read through the accomplishments she became the first First Lady to have her own press conference for women reporters, had her own daily newspaper column, was the first First Lady to travel to an active war zone, served as the chair of the Human Rights Commission and was appointed to the National Advisory Committee of the Peace Corps.

00:15:23.082 --> 00:15:26.018
Okay, I felt so confident when I buzzed in Eleanor Roosevelt.

00:15:26.018 --> 00:15:27.789
Yes, okay, I was like second guessing.

00:15:27.789 --> 00:15:29.038
I was like oh, okay.

00:15:29.481 --> 00:15:32.177
But as a bonus question, can you give me her actual full name?

00:15:32.197 --> 00:15:36.431
Anne Anne Eleanor Roosevelt, anna.

00:15:36.813 --> 00:15:37.779
Eleanor Roosevelt so close?

00:15:37.779 --> 00:15:38.873
Well, I did not know.

00:15:39.763 --> 00:15:40.974
And she married her fifth cousin.

00:15:40.974 --> 00:15:42.644
Yes, back Sarah remembers.

00:15:49.520 --> 00:15:51.142
I believe it was hashtag cute in the notes.

00:15:51.142 --> 00:15:52.123
Hashtag cute Okay, all right.

00:15:52.123 --> 00:15:57.806
Next, this first lady was a graduate of Yale Law School Guys, you guys are killing me.

00:15:57.806 --> 00:16:09.812
Chaired the task force on national health care reform, led the fight to pass the Children's Health Insurance Program, worked to increase funding for research and treatment of cancer, aids, osteoporosis and juvenile diabetes.

00:16:09.812 --> 00:16:17.475
And then, after her time as First Lady, she became the first First Lady elected to the US Senate and served as Secretary of State.

00:16:17.995 --> 00:16:21.977
Three, two, one Hillary Clinton.

00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:25.345
Glad you guys are doing good on this one.

00:16:25.345 --> 00:16:26.128
And then also shot.

00:16:26.128 --> 00:16:38.905
I didn't put this in here because I felt it was too obvious, but she became the first woman in american history to receive a presidential nomination of a major political party yeah, hello about a boss yep, all right.

00:16:39.647 --> 00:16:41.629
next one right.

00:16:41.629 --> 00:17:01.785
This first lady created the Fine Arts Committee for the White House, established the White House Historical Association, spearheaded efforts to make the White House a museum that was protected by Congress, won an Emmy when she provided the first televised tour of the White House and also famously said she didn't like the word lady in First Lady, and that sounded like a prized resource.

00:17:02.327 --> 00:17:02.788
Go ahead, sarah.

00:17:02.788 --> 00:17:09.710
I wouldn't have done it, unless I know because- of the process of elimination Jackie Kennedy.

00:17:10.372 --> 00:17:12.685
Yes, Five out of five guys.

00:17:14.060 --> 00:17:16.632
Boss-ass First Ladies.

00:17:17.201 --> 00:17:18.446
You guys did them proud.

00:17:18.700 --> 00:17:19.945
Okay, well, now's the bad news.

00:17:19.945 --> 00:17:21.866
The next three episodes are all on the First.

00:17:21.946 --> 00:17:25.900
Amendment yeah, it's about to go straight downhill, so we'll see how it goes from here.

00:17:26.140 --> 00:17:27.306
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yep.

00:17:27.306 --> 00:17:30.551
So I'll mask all case names, all the hard stuff.

00:17:30.551 --> 00:17:32.137
No, I'm just kidding.

00:17:32.137 --> 00:17:35.080
I tried to keep this conceptual, conceptual, all right.

00:17:35.080 --> 00:17:38.208
So, yeah, we're going to go onto the First Amendment.

00:17:38.208 --> 00:17:44.984
Specifically I don't think this is giving anything away specifically the freedom of religion.

00:17:44.984 --> 00:17:47.771
All right, so the religion clause of the first amendment is made up of two clauses.

00:17:47.771 --> 00:17:55.269
The first stops the government from telling you what to believe, but only in places where they hold power, such as public schools and government buildings.

00:17:55.269 --> 00:17:57.576
What is this clause known as?

00:17:58.078 --> 00:17:59.144
okay, there's two clauses.

00:17:59.144 --> 00:18:01.676
It's the free exercise in the establishment class.

00:18:01.676 --> 00:18:02.219
I just don't know.

00:18:02.219 --> 00:18:03.806
Hold on, I have to think about which one's which.

00:18:04.166 --> 00:18:05.763
Oh, okay, with that, can you repeat?

00:18:05.763 --> 00:18:06.949
Yeah, can you repeat it.

00:18:07.339 --> 00:18:11.284
Yeah, so this one stops the government from telling you what to believe.

00:18:11.345 --> 00:18:12.166
Free exercise.

00:18:12.166 --> 00:18:13.510
It's actually establishment.

00:18:13.510 --> 00:18:14.746
It's actually establishment.

00:18:15.099 --> 00:18:16.300
You're making me doubt myself.

00:18:16.300 --> 00:18:19.684
No, it's right, I was thinking free though too.

00:18:20.184 --> 00:18:20.465
Right.

00:18:20.465 --> 00:18:26.872
But yeah, it's established because it's basically saying, like the government, like on government property, they won't establish a religion.

00:18:26.872 --> 00:18:29.035
So it makes sense.

00:18:29.035 --> 00:18:30.836
Well, I just mix them up.

00:18:31.096 --> 00:18:31.596
Yeah.

00:18:31.596 --> 00:18:37.540
So yeah, I mean yes, you already.

00:18:37.540 --> 00:18:38.603
I mean like spoiled kind of the second question here.

00:18:38.603 --> 00:18:51.634
The second clause makes it so you can practice your religion however you see fit, as long as it does not impede on other people's rights, aka you can pray in school or in public to whichever God you believe in, or if you don't believe in any, that's also protected Free exercise.

00:18:51.634 --> 00:18:54.304
And that is yes, that is the free exercise clause.

00:18:54.663 --> 00:18:54.964
Amen.

00:18:57.048 --> 00:18:58.770
Funny, funny, nailed it.

00:19:01.940 --> 00:19:03.064
All right, style points for sarah.

00:19:03.064 --> 00:19:07.801
Okay, so just this one's going to kind of be a little bit of a throwback.

00:19:07.801 --> 00:19:12.382
So the first amendment gives us five freedoms, which we just talked about, the freedom of religion.

00:19:12.382 --> 00:19:14.487
Can you guys name the other ones?

00:19:15.087 --> 00:19:19.061
we sure can yeah all right, all right, so you do two, then I'll do two.

00:19:19.643 --> 00:19:20.484
Okay, I'm gonna go.

00:19:20.484 --> 00:19:25.114
I'm to use your thing, ray Stein's pour a beer Religion.

00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:27.484
Is that the next question?

00:19:27.484 --> 00:19:31.946
You're fine, you can tell you no, I would have gotten there.

00:19:34.320 --> 00:19:35.184
Freedom starts with a, b.

00:19:35.681 --> 00:19:37.627
She would have figured out, because she knows there's none that start with B.

00:19:38.220 --> 00:19:39.546
Yes, and I know there's two with P.

00:19:39.546 --> 00:19:41.404
I just you know.

00:19:42.300 --> 00:19:54.124
Okay, anyways, stein's religion speech for a pint press assembly petition nailed it nailed it all right, I guess that mnemonic device of yours actually works.

00:19:54.124 --> 00:19:59.885
I was very curious to see if you'd remember your own mnemonic device it is really good.

00:19:59.986 --> 00:20:01.609
I mean ash says it's hers.

00:20:01.609 --> 00:20:03.212
It was created by AI.

00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:08.463
I had to ask the right questions to AI to get that, because you should have seen what it first spit me out.

00:20:08.463 --> 00:20:09.567
It was not good.

00:20:10.951 --> 00:20:11.592
No, that's fair.

00:20:11.592 --> 00:20:14.106
You do have to craft your verbiage.

00:20:14.548 --> 00:20:19.799
Yes, okay, all right, we're going down the funnel of complexity here in detail.

00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:31.984
Can you name the three court cases that are represented by one word each, whose decisions have created the test commonly applied to subsequent court cases to see if the establishment clause has been violated?

00:20:31.984 --> 00:20:38.326
So these are so commonly used that there's just one word given to each of them.

00:20:38.787 --> 00:20:40.711
Okay, all I can think of Sarah.

00:20:40.711 --> 00:20:41.272
Do you have an idea?

00:20:41.272 --> 00:20:43.741
Nope, I'm tapping out, it's the test.

00:20:43.961 --> 00:20:45.448
It's the test it is the tests.

00:20:45.749 --> 00:20:48.720
I just keep it okay because I immediately thought lemon test.

00:20:48.740 --> 00:20:52.289
Yeah, yeah, yeah okay, I could think of lemon test is the first.

00:20:52.411 --> 00:20:53.453
Yes, okay lemon.

00:20:53.694 --> 00:20:54.056
Hold on.

00:20:54.978 --> 00:21:11.873
Is it the one word that we couldn't say yes, I'm staring at the way you spelled it in the notes and it drives me insane looking at it corrosion, corrosion I mean yes, coercion coercion, coercion, coercion.

00:21:11.913 --> 00:21:19.429
Someone coercion that is a hard word lemon coercion and I actually knew more than I thought.

00:21:19.469 --> 00:21:20.190
I got the first two.

00:21:20.190 --> 00:21:30.005
I the third one for sure, don't have yeah it's the endorsement.

00:21:29.916 --> 00:21:31.557
Ah, okay, these are three tests that are now.

00:21:31.557 --> 00:21:37.292
It's fair, because I feel like we didn't talk a lot about that one in the episode, like we definitely talked more about the other two well, yeah, oh, I know, because I had to say the word coercion.

00:21:38.314 --> 00:21:42.445
You did a billion and ten times yeah I mean well, we're gonna.

00:21:42.465 --> 00:21:48.027
We're gonna test your guys's knowledge of which ones are which, and we're gonna start with this one.

00:21:48.027 --> 00:21:55.931
So this test asks whether government's actual purpose is to endorse or disapprove a religion that uses.

00:21:55.931 --> 00:21:58.481
Okay, you guys want to go ahead the endorsement.

00:21:58.481 --> 00:22:01.486
Endorsement no, what the lemon test?

00:22:01.486 --> 00:22:05.953
It uses a three-pronged approach to determine if a statute is constitutional.

00:22:05.953 --> 00:22:22.086
Specifically, if it has a primarily secular purpose, its principal effect neither aids nor inhibits religion, and government and religion are not excessively entangled, then something's considered constitutional as long as those three pieces hold up.

00:22:22.401 --> 00:22:24.990
I should have let you finish, because once you said three-pronged, I probably would have known.

00:22:24.990 --> 00:22:31.041
But I heard you say the word endorse and I was like I'm like oh nice, yeah, I was like the one I don't know.

00:22:31.041 --> 00:22:31.943
Yeah, let's do that one.

00:22:32.105 --> 00:22:34.832
Yeah, so this one is technically a lemon test.

00:22:34.832 --> 00:22:36.142
Okay, all right.

00:22:36.142 --> 00:22:41.431
This test is used particularly in the context of government-sponsored prayer practices.

00:22:41.431 --> 00:22:51.390
The Supreme Court has said that, at a minimum, the Constitution guarantees that government may not force anyone to support or participate in religion or its exercise.

00:22:51.851 --> 00:22:52.332
Coercion.

00:22:52.779 --> 00:22:56.465
This one is coercion, I guess by process of elimination.

00:22:56.465 --> 00:23:10.708
This third one, this test, which was suggested as a clarification to the Lemon Test, asks whether, irrespective of a government's actual purpose, the practice or law under review in fact conveys a message of approval or disapproval.

00:23:11.068 --> 00:23:11.510
Endorsement.

00:23:12.381 --> 00:23:20.689
And then later Justice O'Connor stated that this should be judged by whether a reasonable observer would think the government is promoting or approving a specific religion.

00:23:21.060 --> 00:23:22.068
Okay, we didn't do that bad.

00:23:22.068 --> 00:23:24.344
Yeah, that's Pretty solid.

00:23:24.625 --> 00:23:26.904
Okay, Well, we will keep moving down.

00:23:26.904 --> 00:23:28.810
The First Amendment to the freedom of speech.

00:23:28.810 --> 00:23:38.674
What is the right to speak, to be heard and to share opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship or legal action or legal sanction, called.

00:23:38.674 --> 00:23:44.950
This is what most people probably think of when they think about the First Amendment protecting free speech.

00:23:45.289 --> 00:23:45.951
Do you have a guess, Sarah?

00:23:45.951 --> 00:23:48.234
No Freedom of expression.

00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:48.943
Yes.

00:23:49.165 --> 00:23:49.386
Oh nice.

00:23:49.386 --> 00:23:50.818
Freedom of expression yes, oh nice.

00:23:51.180 --> 00:23:52.262
Freedom of expression.

00:23:52.262 --> 00:23:55.510
Okay, so yeah again, these are going to get a little nitty gritty.

00:23:55.510 --> 00:24:02.582
So in deciding cases involving artistic freedom of expression, the Supreme Court leans on what principle?

00:24:02.582 --> 00:24:09.826
That means the government can't censor or restrict expression just because some segment of the population finds its content offensive.

00:24:10.008 --> 00:24:10.509
You know, Sarah.

00:24:11.010 --> 00:24:11.191
Nope.

00:24:12.261 --> 00:24:18.534
Laws related to this regulate only the time, place and manner of speech and are usually found constitutional.

00:24:18.534 --> 00:24:28.152
They must regulate speech without reference to that speech's substance, be narrowly tailored and leave open alternative avenues of expression.

00:24:28.372 --> 00:24:29.354
Content neutrality.

00:24:29.894 --> 00:24:30.315
Correct.

00:24:30.734 --> 00:24:31.777
Nice.

00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:43.640
So I think content neutrality these laws, effectively they don't look at the content of the message, they just kind of restrict where, the time and place and manner of how that message can be delivered.

00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:47.905
Because they're not looking at the contents, they're considered content neutral.

00:24:49.381 --> 00:24:49.622
Gotcha.

00:24:49.622 --> 00:24:50.285
Well, this is good.

00:24:50.285 --> 00:24:51.450
You know'm really learning this.

00:24:51.509 --> 00:24:59.345
It's needed well, it's like anything remember like I think I don't remember what they say, but you have to like read or consume something so many times before you really like remember it.

00:24:59.345 --> 00:25:01.108
So I feel like that's like part of this.

00:25:01.108 --> 00:25:03.320
Yeah, yeah, for sure all right.

00:25:03.780 --> 00:25:12.795
Next one these types of laws are typically struck down by courts, who often say the government has no power to restrict expression because of its message.

00:25:12.795 --> 00:25:16.029
Many of these laws are struck down by the courts.

00:25:16.820 --> 00:25:18.205
It's the opposite content-based.

00:25:18.205 --> 00:25:19.490
Yeah, Nice.

00:25:30.059 --> 00:25:34.338
Amendment cases because courts hold these laws to very strict scrutiny, the content-based laws, while holding the content-neutral ones to only intermediate or mid-level scrutiny.

00:25:34.338 --> 00:25:42.824
So they evaluate a lot harder when laws come in front of them that are trying to restrict speech based on content.

00:25:43.104 --> 00:25:46.142
Yeah, yeah, I kind of remember more than I thought I did, yep.

00:25:46.282 --> 00:25:46.826
Look at you.

00:25:46.826 --> 00:25:53.316
All right, the supreme court has taken a categorical approach to what is not protected by the first amendment.

00:25:53.316 --> 00:25:57.144
This means, based on the category of speech, it may not be protected.

00:25:57.144 --> 00:25:58.689
Can you guys name?

00:25:58.689 --> 00:26:08.465
I won't ask for all of them, but some of them you want to do, like three or four out of the one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight sarah, do like three, I'll try to do three.

00:26:08.846 --> 00:26:10.131
Can you repeat the question?

00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:15.265
The type of speech that is not protected by the person.

00:26:15.265 --> 00:26:17.792
So the Supreme Court kind of has different categories for types of speech.

00:26:17.792 --> 00:26:19.807
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:26:19.807 --> 00:26:37.505
Like these categories are not protected and you can be well, you can't claim first amendment freedom of speech if this is the type of speech you're using I think I for sure know one okay fighting words, you're gonna say that I love that

00:26:37.545 --> 00:26:47.688
one favorite one, fighting words defamation, including libel and slander, child pornography, obscenity, um like.

00:26:47.688 --> 00:27:00.902
I forget what it's called, but basically like to incite violence incitement incitement nailed it I think you're about to get all eight no, I already kind of forget the rest of them.

00:27:00.922 --> 00:27:05.190
Close, close six uh, so, yeah, the last two are true threats.

00:27:05.190 --> 00:27:09.267
And then speech that's integral to criminal conduct.

00:27:09.267 --> 00:27:14.532
Uh, so it's aka speech that's inciting illegal actions or soliciting others to commit crimes.

00:27:14.835 --> 00:27:16.681
Yeah, okay not protected folks.

00:27:16.681 --> 00:27:18.285
Yeah, don't do it all right.

00:27:18.325 --> 00:27:24.090
so which of the doctrines above or which of the categories above is one of the rare content-based exceptions?

00:27:24.090 --> 00:27:31.246
Remember we talked about the court is, you know, very I don't know very, very detailed in terms of the content based up.

00:27:31.246 --> 00:27:39.119
This is one of the rare content-based exceptions to the court's general rule of content neutrality, along with libel and obscenity, so that rules it out.

00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:43.570
It constitutes a category of punishable speech outside of the first amendment.

00:27:43.570 --> 00:27:50.952
So one of these things is kind of the exception that you can actually be punished for this type of speech.

00:27:51.393 --> 00:27:51.933
Fighting words.

00:27:52.621 --> 00:27:53.525
It is fighting words.

00:27:54.161 --> 00:27:58.412
Oh, I was going to say the violence, one inciting violence or whatever you said.

00:27:59.762 --> 00:28:08.993
But this one specifically was called out and the court ruled that such words, by their very utterance, inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of peace.

00:28:08.993 --> 00:28:21.170
Moreover, they play no essential part of any exposition of ideas and are of such slight social value that they may be permissibly restricted in the greater interest of morality and public decency.

00:28:21.170 --> 00:28:23.227
So this is the one that came about.

00:28:23.227 --> 00:28:35.409
I believe there was a gentleman that was selling some sort of you know kind of anti-government news piece or whatever, and there was a crowd that was very angry with him.

00:28:35.409 --> 00:28:48.480
The police showed up and removed him for his own protection and while being removed he called the police officers fascists and racketeers, and the whole state government was fascists and racketeers, and the whole state government was fascists and racketeer.

00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:56.685
And then he was prosecuted for making those claims and the Supreme Court did not side with him Fighting words you know.

00:28:58.222 --> 00:28:59.107
Those be fighting words.

00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:01.426
Those be fighting words.

00:29:01.961 --> 00:29:06.887
Not protected, all right, so bonus question here.

00:29:06.887 --> 00:29:13.611
So why are people incorrect when they claim that their social media posts are protected under the First Amendment?

00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:18.471
Apparently people thought this was fighting words because we made a reel about.

00:29:18.471 --> 00:29:21.429
Well, ash made a reel about this and it blew up.

00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:25.790
Then we got some angry, angry people in our comment section on this one.

00:29:25.790 --> 00:29:27.407
A couple reasons.

00:29:27.407 --> 00:29:35.442
Number one one when you post on social media, you're no longer it's, you're basically considered the press, and the press is held to a different standard.

00:29:35.462 --> 00:29:59.295
So libel and slander are like a thing but that was not in your notes well, that's because I think I learned in the next one when we do press freedom but anyway so, yeah, like you, when you publish that you're held to like libel or slander basically standards and if you truly publish something that is like not true or qualifies as slander or libel, then you're, you could be basically charged for it.

00:29:59.295 --> 00:30:04.984
But as a member of the press, yeah, as a member of the press, but also for, like, celebrities or public figures.

00:30:04.984 --> 00:30:08.349
That's like a harder thing to prove to do you like.

00:30:08.349 --> 00:30:09.010
Basically they're.

00:30:09.010 --> 00:30:12.516
You're kind of like allowed, not like allowed allowed, but you're more allowed.

00:30:16.059 --> 00:30:18.750
You're going to have to walk this one back if you want me to have any questions for the next episode.

00:30:18.770 --> 00:30:20.196
Okay, I'm going to hold off, but basically also.

00:30:20.196 --> 00:30:21.380
Second, we didn't even really talk about this.

00:30:21.380 --> 00:30:23.020
But second, it's a private platform.

00:30:23.020 --> 00:30:25.663
Yes, social media is a private platform the government.

00:30:25.663 --> 00:30:27.744
