    May 25 at 8pm (in the USA)the History channel is debuting its massive Second World War 20-part series "WW2 with Tom Hanks". It's a colossal endeavor with lots of new insights. Includes a FABULOUS group of contributors. I was honored to be a part of it. aegm.app.box.com/s/4i0xqazknkp2…

    For all its evil,war sometimes has a tiny silver lining. It can clarify the mind and reboot our ethical compass. It puts less serious things in perspective. It nudges us towards our neighbor and reminds us that our needs and interests are intertwined. It reignites our compassion.

    How weird that this should be a somewhat novel thing to say.

    I don’t expect people to agree with me on everything- that would be odd. My main hope is that people trust that I’m trying to solve problems and I’m open to different approaches - particularly if the data drives in a particular direction. Changing one’s mind is not a bad thing.

    The @elonmusk Hardcore History Addendum show isn't out yet... we will probably get it out Sunday or Monday. Just FYI.

    Palestinian leadership has once again made a decision that will IN NO WAY improve the lives of their people. There is NO POSITIVE outcome for them here (except to personally bolster their chances to stay in power). They have hurt their cause(s) and increased the suffering in Gaza

    "Engineering Victory with Elon" is now out on the HHAddendum feed. Elon Musk, Bill Riley (SpaceX) and I discuss military tech, war planes and other such historical subjects. Hope it's enjoyable! dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/t…

    If I told you that the most pro-American, patriotic thing you could do for the USA was to find common ground with your countrymen over politics could you do it? How patriotic do you consider yourself to be? How deep does your love of country go?

    When we Americans talk about Canada it would be only right and correct to note that we have fought and died with them in a couple of World Wars and their valor is every bit as legendary as our own. Good luck finding a better friend.

    I wonder how many Americans who consider themselves politically aware could pass a civics test about how our government is supposed to function. I wonder how many Americans who ostensibly talk about politics as part of how they make a living could. Our

    Well, unless I am mistaken it looks like we won the iHeart podcast award for "best history podcast". I know who I have to thank for that! (thanks to ALL OF YOU!). I am grateful and fortunate and you all make this possible for me.

    I want to get out in front of future criticism that the show we're soon to release is too long by saying that it probably should have been 2 shows instead of 1,but: 1. I didn't want to drag this subject out another 6 months 2. It wasn't designed that way. Use the pause button.
