  • Non emotional conversation!

    This is my kind of dorky, detailed discussion. Not the “hot topics” but important ones. Not one side of the aisle but both. Sure the production value could go up a notch but hard to get attention when you are rage bait. Host does a good job. Interesting and I learn

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Nicole Gelinas & Diana Furchtgott-Roth: Should Congestion Pricing Be the Future of City Travel?
Q: Do you have a blanket opposition to the idea of congestion pricing?
I have no objection to congestion pricing. Congestion pricing is the right way to charge for roads.
Henry Olsen & Alex Muresianu: Should University Endowments Be Taxed?
Q: If someone were to desire to tax endowments, is one reason better than the other?
No particular reason stands out; lengthy discussions indicate that university endowments should not be taxed as they lack profits and their financial structures are not suitable for such taxes.
Henry Olsen & Alex Muresianu: Should University Endowments Be Taxed?
Q: What reason would we want to pursue taxing university endowments?
We need the revenue for addressing multi-trillion dollar deficits and it's a matter of fairness as wealthy institutions should not receive tax benefits they do not need.
John Yoo & Charles C. W. Cooke: Who Decides When America Goes to War?
Q: What is your standard? When is Congressional approval required for US military action?
Charles C. W. Cooke states that Congress should authorize changes in foreign policy, implying that military actions should generally require Congressional approval.
John Yoo & Charles C. W. Cooke: Who Decides When America Goes to War?
Q: When does the president of the United States need Congress' approval to engage in foreign conflicts?
John Yoo argues that historically, the president does not need Congress's approval before using military force abroad, highlighting the power of the purse as a check on the executive.
