Great show. + I think you answered (indirectly) a question I wanted to ask about Harvona. He was a coconspirator against Mordechai at first, but then was the one who said about Haman's gallows to the King. At the end of the Megillah we (at least Sefardim), say blessed in Mordechai and cursed is Haman, etc. and at the end also say "VeGam Harvone Zecher Letov". I was thinking about this answered when Chaim spoke about Jesse James who was anti-Semitic at first but then became and is a friend to the Jews.

I think you meant Jesse Helms, not Jesse James. Jesse James was a famous gun-fighter.

Jesse Alexander Helms, Jr. (October 18, 1921 – July 4, 2008) was a five-term Republican United States Senator from North Carolina who served as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 1995 to 2001. A leading conservative, he helped organize and fund the conservative resurgence in the 1970s, aiding Ronald Reagan's quest for the White House and helping many local and regional candidates.

December 26, 1985
WASHINGTON (Dec. 25)
One of the most interesting developments of 1985 in Washington was the transformation of Sen. Jesse Helms (R. N. C.) from someone considered unfriendly to Israel to a strong supporter of the Jewish State. In fact, Helms, like several other conservative Senators and many in the Christian Right, believes Israel should maintain control of the West Bank.

Helms explains his new position in an article in the upcoming winter issue of “Policy Review,” the quarterly published by the Heritage Foundation, the Washington-based conservative think tank. Entitled “A Baptist Deacon Reflects on American Policy Toward Israel,” Helms notes that when his wife, Dorothy, visited Israel in 1972, at the time he was first running for the Senate, she slipped a prayer on a piece of paper into the Western Wall that he should win. He won the election and the next two.

I heard once on Arutz 7 that Jesse James was actually Jewish.
