  • Who produces the Iran War episode?

    Hey maybe the 9 year old who intersperses annoying commercials in the middle of the back and forth between Molly and David should have the controls taken away?

  • Iran USA MOU

    I am with you David. Trump should hold out for Iran to hand over uranium and do something about genocide of the poor Iranian people who are tired of their conditions for past 48 years. They’ve suffered enough. Also, we need to protect Israel and the rest of Middle East who are at risk of continued conflict and continued Strait of Hormuz conflict.

  • Talking about late night shows….

    No mention of Craig Ferguson? Sure, he was on after the late shows but he was funny and never got into politics. You can find reruns on YouTube, very entertaining.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How To Save America's Kids From A Failing Education System
Q: What is the potential impact of expanding the Federal Education Freedom Tax Credit across states?
The guest believes it could become a bedrock program that unlocks scholarships for private, public, and charter schools, enabling more families to choose the best fit for their children and potentially accelerating long-term educational improvements.
How To Save America's Kids From A Failing Education System
Q: How much do teachers unions influence the education policy landscape and school choice movements today?
The guest argues that unions often resist pro-child policies like vouchers because they view education as a zero-sum game, but Teach Coalition emphasizes that a strong public system alongside non-public options can create a healthier overall ecosystem for students.
Hayden's History Hour Ep. 8: Answering All Of Your Burning History Questions
Q: Why didn't Jewish people resist the Nazis more forcefully during the Holocaust?
Denial, fear, and systemic persecution made resistance perilous and often impossible; many were in ghettos or camps, faced starvation and brutal control, while some participated in sabotage or joined resistance movements where feasible; civic leaders often acted as intermediaries trying to smooth transitions into confinement.
Hayden's History Hour Ep. 8: Answering All Of Your Burning History Questions
Q: How common were non-white slave owners, and who were some notable examples?
Non-white slave owners were extremely rare but did exist, including Anthony Johnson, who began as an indentured servant and later became a slave owner; other notable examples include William Ellison and Antoine Dubuclet, with higher concentrations in Louisiana due to different racial laws. These cases illustrate a complex and constrained history of slaveholding.
Hayden's History Hour Ep. 8: Answering All Of Your Burning History Questions
Q: What was the catalyst that set the women's movement into motion? (second entry)
Reiterated details about Seneca Falls and the expansion of advocacy into voting rights, with emphasis on education and property rights as foundational goals that catalyzed the movement's evolution.
