Hello, ho, ho! Here's an important message from Network Rail for anyone who's travelling by train this Christmas and New Year.

We'll be working over the festive period to make improvements to the railway. Most of the network remains open, but some train services will be affected from Sunday the 25th of December until Monday the 2nd of January.

So, to keep your festive plans on track, please check before you travel at nationalrail.co.uk slash Christmas.

Whenever one in the audience is paid by you, the enthusiasm is really...

Thanks everybody for being here. We haven't done one of these in a little bit. In fact, it's been four months since the last time that we were together.

And a lot has changed in that period of time, not just in the company, but in the country too. So, it's good that we get together.

The purpose of our town halls, as you know, is both to celebrate and inform. The company's gotten so big. One of the kind of unfortunate consequences of that growth is that people who are working really hard in one part of the company don't know what people who are working really hard in another part of the company are actually doing.

And so, it's good that every now and then we get together so we can sync up, so that we can reorient ourselves, so that we can all be pointed at the same North Star. And that North Star is working toward a future for conservatives and a future for our country.

Also, since we started doing these events back in the beginning of the year, we've made it a practice to always invite in the audience.

So, I've streamed them. The reason is because, well, as much as we're working hard every day, to create that future for conservatives, as much as we're working hard every day, our audience is also a part of this journey. And in particular, our daily wire plus members, they're working alongside us every day. And they deserve some transparency.

So, they can see what we're doing, so they can keep track, so they can make sure that we're still aligned with them.

So, the last time we were together, it was at the Rhyman Auditorium, and we were refreshed on the heels of the most successful launch in the history of the company, Matt Walsh's Masterpiece documentary, What Is A Woman.

That night, we launched Daily Wire Plus. We announced that we were expanding our partnership with Prager U, and we kicked off our collaboration with the premier public intellectual of our time, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson.

It was a huge night. We set incredibly ambitious goals, and we made a lot of promises to the audience regarding new premium content.

And so, the first question that we have to ask today is, have we made good on that promise? How have we fared? I think people are going to be pleased.

That expanded partnership with Prager U that we announced in June is only two weeks away from launching. Beginning in December, we'll be premiering the first of three episodes of the Prager U Masters program with Dennis Prager, and it is exceptional.

The core idea that animates Prager U is this, give us five minutes, we'll give you a semester. Today, with 500 five minute videos, and more than 1.4 billion views just this year, you can only conclude that Prager U is made good on that mission.

With the Prager U Masters program, we're offering daily wire plus members the exclusive opportunity to dive even deeper. Dennis Prager will guide us through extended explorations of some of the most important topics in the world. Many people in this room have been involved in the effort.

Others of us haven't even had the chance to see any part of this powerful new work. Happily today, it's my honor to present for the first time the first glimpse of the first episode of the Prager U Masters program.

You can learn wisdom. I'll give you a few examples of stuff that I learned when I was about eight years old.

So here's an example. There's a very famous aphorism in Hebrew, and it is from the Talmud, the second holiest work in Judaism after the Bible.

Aza Huhagi-Bor, who is the strong man, Hakovesh Etidsko? The man who conquers his own urge. I learned that at eight, that the strongest I could be is to conquer my own appetites and urges and instincts.
