This episode is presented by Create A Video – Younger people who think history began when they became politically aware about ten minutes ago might not know this, but Iran's terrorism and aggression has been a fixture of international life for half-a-century. And their tactic of dropping mines in the Strait of Hormuz is not a new tactic. How was it handled the last time in 1987? It looked a lot like what's happening now, actually.

Tolls and taxes (03-11-2026--Hour3)

This episode is presented by Create A Video – As opposition builds against the I-77 expansion project, one idea that we apparently missed out on: a free mile of tunnel. The offer was made by The Boring Company in an open contest soliciting proposals. The Boring Company is owned by Elon Musk... whose role in the early Trump administration prompted the Democrats on Charlotte City Council to ban any purchases of Teslas. So... we probably never had a chance at winning.
