    Tried to listen to the item on cancel culture but the ads broke my concentration. Enough!

    May, 2026 : Did I hear someone advocating for public hangings? I must have misheard.

    My only critique is Hayden constantly drinking and or chewing during his history hour. 😆

  • NOT the Federalist Society

    Stridently anti-federalist, pro-Trump (and therefore anti-conservative) dreck. Nationalistic reactionary populism devoid of any interesting thought or commentary.

    They are definitely against the left, which is fine, but they stand for nothing except Trumpism and pandering to those people; committed to confirming the biases of the most honking and arousing the passions of the unthinking.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

‘The Kylee Cast’ feat. Kristan Hawkins, Ep. 44: GOP, Tell Planned Parenthood To Go Fund Itself
Q: What concrete actions can be taken now to move the defunding effort forward?
Potential actions discussed include applying debarment through the Small Business Administration, scoring congressional members for defunding votes, and mobilizing grassroots campaigns to push leadership and the President.
‘The Kylee Cast’ feat. Kristan Hawkins, Ep. 44: GOP, Tell Planned Parenthood To Go Fund Itself
Q: What is going on on Capitol Hill as it relates to funding for Planned Parenthood?
Kristan Hawkins outlines how past reconciliations limited funding, the political obstacles in the Senate, and the potential paths forward, including longer-term defunding strategies and leveraging public pressure.
The Secret To Making College Affordable Again
Q: How does Cornerstone connect education to employability and real-world value?
They established an Office of Career and Calling with mandatory internships, continuous employer engagement through a President's Industry Council, and an AI advisory board to keep curricula aligned with market needs and technological advances.
The Secret To Making College Affordable Again
Q: What makes Cornerstone University different in its approach to affordability?
The university restructured its operations and pricing, removed nonessential programs, and focused on mission-driven growth, resulting in tuition kept at about 22,000 dollars for traditional students and the development of a low-cost mobile degree platform.
‘The Kylee Cast’ feat. Devon Kurtz, Ep. 42: Helping Homeless People Is The New ‘Jim Crow’
Q: Specifically, what would the Louisiana bill actually do, and why do critics call it Jim Crow?
The bill regulates street camping with penalties akin to littering and creates a diversionary path toward treatment courts rather than immediate jail time, while allowing for community service; critics label this as Jim Crow due to concerns about forced labor and punishment for homelessness, whereas the guest argues the provisions are about moving people toward services and accountability rather than punishment alone.
