Tanner Talks About Stuff that Happened

In September of 1788, a great battle took place south of Austria, with the Austrian army fighting gallantly against... itself? Don't mix alcohol with war, kids.

In 1962, an official document signed by the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff found its way onto the desk of President John F. Kennedy, proposing the most audacious plans to justify an attack on Cuba. It was one of the most sinister moments in U.S. History... one you've probably never heard of. This is the story of Operation Northwoods.

On April 13th and 14th, Iran launched an audacious attack on the nation of Israel that could lead to World War III. Tanner discusses why this happened, and if we should start preparing to get shipped over to fight in the Middle East.

Strange that he did it without any formal education in reading or writing the English language, never owned any books, didn't know how to spell his own name, and never left England. What if Shakespeare didn't actually write Shakespeare? And if he didn't, who did?

According to Genesis, God became so upset with humanity that he flooded the planet to destroy them all, save for Noah and his family. Noah is supposed to save two of every animal, male and female, to keep them from going extinct. It's a crazy story. You know what's crazier?
