Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the rapid series of events which unfolded in Austin, Texas to begin the year and how what took place there is going to affect the ongoing battle to get a TEXIT vote and various other state sovereignty initiatives through the legislature. Could the defeat of David Cook have long-term positive ratifications for the Texit cause just as the 2020 elections did for MAGA? How many of these renewed state sovereignty measures will get through? What is the key mindset change which seems to have emerged both in the Texas legislature and among the populace in general which is a very good sign for the Texit cause?

Professor Wall and the Jester discuss a recent piece laying out what is driving the growing popularity of the Greater Idaho movement in spite of determined efforts by the elites to stymie any political advancement of their cause. What is the root problem in the governing structures which US states are forced to implement? How is this contributing to the issues which drive the popularity of Greater Idaho? Why is the success of Greater Idaho inevitable if these serious structural problems are left unaddressed beforehand?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel welcome back Dr. Bernard Way to Secession Speakeasy to talk about an aspect of American History which has largely been censored from public knowledge: namely that America had a long history dealing with secession prior to 1860/1861 and the reasons why.
Due to the length of this episode we have created “parts” for those who wish to watch only certain sections or in stages over a longer period:

Professor Wall welcomes Dr Per Bylund, a senior fellow at the Mises Institute, to "From Steal to Secession AM" for a discussion on efforts ongoing in two distinctly different corners of the world to revoke local peoples' freedoms. What is the free city of Próspera and why are efforts being made to shut it down by the government of Honduras? What can Próspera teach the rest of Honduras and indeed the world? What is the hidden danger inherent in Donald Trump's obsession with acquiring Greenland? What is a better approach which America should take towards Greenland which would not violate their peoples' rights? What are the bigger lessons which can be deduced from these conflicts between government and the market?
Professor Wall welcomes Kerry George, the VP of Communications for “A Better Calgary Party” in the city of Calgary in Alberta, Canada, to “From Steal to Secession AM” to discuss this new concept of a “municipal political party.” How did this idea come about in the Canadian city of Calgary? How do they look to ensure that different sections of the city are adequately represented in their city councils? Why is it imperative for people to organize politically for their local government? What can people in other parts of the world learn from this party’s example for their own areas?

Professor Wall welcomes David McHutchon, the leader of the Scottish Sovereignty Party, to “From Steal to Secession AM” to discuss the developments on the Scottish Nationalism front. Why has the sentiment for Scottish Nationalism continued to grow in popularity despite the disastrous rule of the Scottish Nationalist Party? What aspects of Scotland’s history help contribute to this sentiment? What is developing electorally which could overcome the SNP’s reticence to move on the independence front? How does the Sovereignty party look to avoid the problems which have plagued the other major parties in Scotland when it comes to representing the people’s wishes? What is the major trend unfolding within the larger British Isles themselves which seems to make the end result of Scottish Independence inevitable?
