Dissident Mama, episode 30 - Dave Benner

Dave Benner speaks and writes on topics related to the United States Constitution, founding principles, and the early republic. Dave is also the author of “Compact of the Republic: The League of States and the Constitution” and “The 14th Amendment and the Incorporation Doctrine.” He writes articles for The Tenth Amendment Center, the Mises Institute, the Abbeville Institute, and Intellectual Takeout.

We chat about Wisconsin, Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill, fire-eaters, history as a weapon, and Lincoln cultism, liberty tattoos, and more. Relevant to our conversation are Thomas DiLorenzo’s “The Real Lincoln: A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and an Unnecessary War,” my essay “We’re All Secessionists Now,” and Brad Birzer’s “In Defense of Andrew Jackson,” as well as Benner’s book review of it. My dog, Jade, even makes her official Dissident Mama debut. Episode #30 is a good one, folks. Enjoy!
