- TriviaWhile the topic was sensitive to his guest, Miller and Heston seemed to get along well during the discussion. However, it would prove to be the only guest Miller ever had on the show whom he would later start despising for his beliefs on the subject matter.
- GoofsCharlton Heston brought up a recent change to gun purchase laws in California when his liberal friends wanted to borrow a gun from him because of the waiting period that was part of that. This is true, and there were stories of people who were suddenly shocked they couldn't get a firearm immediately to protect themselves when the LA riot started. However, someone like Charlton Heston should know that there have been waiting periods for gun purchases in California since the 1950s.
- Quotes
Charlton Heston: I've got some liberal friends, and when the riots started, they came to me asking if they could borrow one of my guns. I said, "Why don't you go out and get one of your own?" They told me, "Well, I would, but there's this waiting period." and I go, "I believe you guys voted that in."
