| 0:00.0 | From the historic campus of Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan, where the good, the true, and the beautiful are taught, nurtured, and honored, this is the Radio Free Hillsdale Hour, bringing the activity and education of the college to listeners across the country. |
| 0:25.4 | EC Police continue to leave out countless numbers of felonies from the crime stats and purposely covering it up. |
| 0:32.8 | And as I looked at the stats, I thought, I'm going to look for my stat. |
| 0:36.3 | And I didn't see mine. |
| 0:37.7 | This is your host, Scott Bertram. Welcome to the radio-free Hillsdale Hour. That was Anna |
| 0:43.7 | Giratelli. She's the author of the new book, Under Assault, a crime reporter's true story |
| 0:48.3 | of overcoming sexual trauma and exposing injustice. We go in-depth with Anna about that book a little bit later on in |
| 0:55.6 | today's program. Plus, we hear excerpts from a recent lecture by Scott Jennings at a Hillsdale |

| 1:39.5 | It's a lot of fun. That's not meaning to cast aspersions and other documentaries, |
| 1:43.9 | but we've taken |
| 1:45.5 | great pains to make it feel like a story. Our professors do an excellent job telling the story. |
| 1:51.6 | It's Hillsdale, so you know it's factually correct. It's well researched. The politics and the |
| 1:55.6 | history are done properly. But we've arranged this so that it feels like you're sitting around, you know, |
| 2:02.6 | a campfire hearing the story of the founding of our nation. So it's a lot of fun on top of being |
