08 20 24 1908 talk lets play turn back the clock to 1908 and how two Harvard law school grads want to make America great again by curbing immigration or how there literally were lynching parties and the average worker made 222 cents an hour ($7.51 today which would be more than the present minimum wage). And was Take Me Out to the Ball Game really about baseball?

08 18 24 1909 talk let's see lynching's, Yiddish speaking Lower East Side women, teenagers, upend the garment industry, Taft is President, the Yale law school grad says women are too emotional to vote. Yep, another Yale lawyer, where do they come up with their thoughts at Frank Pepe's pizza in the Have? Oil is discovered in Persia and boy would that change America's relationship with Persia/Iran. NAACP is founded. Guess 1909 was a consequential year.
