New Episode: Answering Your Questions + More!
This week on The Preamble Podcast
It’s not something you’ll read about in most history books — the remarkable story of Florence Hall and her Women’s Land Army — the women who took over the farming jobs American men left behind when they went off to fight World War II. These women weren’t just fill-ins, in many cases, the farms they worked on were even more successful than when the men were doing the work.
Plus, I’m joined again by Akhil Reed Amar, one of the nation’s foremost constitutional scholars, to talk about his newest book, Born Equal, and the battle over who had the right to call themselves American citizens after the Civil War. If you’ve been wanting to learn more about birthright citizenship, this conversation is for you.
I also answer your questions!
Will we all be getting $2,000 checks because of President Trump’s tariffs?
Could 50 year mortgages be coming?
Can Chuck Schumer be replaced as the Senate Minority Leader?
