| 0:13.9 | Hello, everyone. I'm very pleased today to be talking with Mr. Christopher Rufo, |
| 0:19.6 | who's emerged as a national and international class troublemaker. |
| 0:24.6 | I would say, and policy advisor on the Culture War front, especially in relationship to issues |

| 1:47.1 | substantiate the feeling that many people had that our institutions had been captured by |
