Are You Racist for Hating Pitbulls?
Description
ARE YOU RACIST FOR NOT LIKING PIT BULLS?
Actor Jon Bernthal says being afraid of pit bulls is “dog racism”—the same as judging someone by race or sexual orientation. Austin breaks down why that comparison collapses, what the attack data shows and why parents should not be shamed for recognizing breed-specific risk. Then we examine a quieter national crisis: Americans are speaking thousands fewer words than they did two decades ago as smartphones, self-checkout lanes, remote work and app-based life replace ordinary human contact. Camellia Peterson joins us ahead of Missouri’s August 4 vote on Amendment Five, a proposal to phase out the state income tax and prevent future lawmakers from restoring it. We debate the “everything tax” argument, its impact on seniors and working families, and what voters need to know before heading to the polls. Finally, United States Cattlemen’s Association President Justin Tupper explains why the American cattle herd has fallen to its lowest level since 1951 and what that means for ranchers and beef prices.
