    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.

The Counterfeit Compassion Fueling Lindsay Clancy’s Cult Of Personality
Q: How does the concept of empathy relate to real moral accountability in cases like Lindsay Clancy's, where a mother killed her children?
Empathy should be bounded by moral agency and truth; acknowledging real distress does not erase personal responsibility, and society must avoid using emotional narratives to excuse grave crimes.
The Counterfeit Compassion Fueling Lindsay Clancy’s Cult Of Personality
Q: Let me ask you this, how much of what you describe as 'indocrination' in our schools feeds into this intense empathy and victimhood narrative?
Education systems have played a significant role by teaching narratives that emphasize victimhood and systemic oppression, which primes students to adopt compassionate positions that can override critical scrutiny of individual actions.
The Truth About Americans’ Blue State Exodus
Q: But what is driving this migration, and why do policy factors seem to matter more than climate or cost of living?
The guest argues that policy variables—labor flexibility, right-to-work status, housing permits, and occupational licensing—have stronger positive correlations with inbound migration than climate or housing costs. In other words, people move where the regulatory and business climate is friendlier, not just where wages are high or the weather is nicer.
Blue Cities’ Lawlessness And Disorder Problem
Q: What are the practical implications of the Penny case for future self-defense claims in crowded urban settings?
Kenniff emphasizes that in high-density environments, the line between protecting others and triggering legal liability is delicate; the law must balance reasonable force to prevent imminent harm with the duty to preserve due process, while recognizing how media and public opinion can influence outcomes.
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.
