Since we see current events distorted in the media every day, why wouldn't we think events from the past were equally distorted?

Most people assume that the way things are is the way they must be, and the best possible way they can be. So even if you live in neither Oregon nor Idaho, you will want to hear my guest, Matt McCaw, discuss the Greater Idaho movement. Here is a case in which one simple change would make virtually everybody involved better off, and the only thing standing in the way is status quo bias.

Melinda Cooper, who teaches "gender, sexuality, and culture" at Australian National University, tries to take on Murray Rothbard in an academic journal. As usual for a progressive, even though she finds him far more principled, antiwar, and pro-civil liberties than his neoconservative and establishment counterparts, she'll take Mitt Romney any day.

Language can evolve organically, or it can change from the top down to serve a political agenda. We've had plenty of the latter in our day. Jeff Deist joins us to discuss it and explain why it matters.
