Shownotes Transcript

Hi everyone, I'm Hilary Barsky and it's time to take the quiz. This is the quiz. History, pop culture, science, sports, civics. How much do you know? Let's find out.

Five days a week, it's five questions in less than five minutes. We ask people on the streets of New York City to play along, but let's see how you do. Question one. For Elise, Moonlight Sonata and Fidelio are all works by what famous composer? Johann Bach. Beethoven.

That's right, Ludwig von Beethoven. All right, here we go with question two. The construction of the Hoover Dam began under President Herbert Hoover, but which president defeated Hoover in the subsequent election? Truman? McKinley? That would be Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Okay, not bad so far, right? Well, they get a little tougher from here, so let's keep going. Okay, here we go with question number three. Who is the author of the Hunger Games series?

Shakespeare. Is it J.P. Rowling's? Suzanne Collins. If you guessed Suzanne Collins, you would be correct. Question four. A sphygmomanometer is a medical instrument that checks what function. I'm going to guess and say it measures earthquakes. Reflexes. Earthquakes. It checks your blood pressure. Play, share, and listen. Question five is next.

Pull up a chair and join me, Rachel Campos Duffy. And me, former U.S. Congressman Sean Duffy, as we share our perspective on the discussions happening at kitchen tables across America.
