| 0:31.3 | Hey everybody, Tom Woods here. I recently appeared on a new podcast called the Ron Paul homeschooling podcast. |
| 0:39.4 | And they wanted to know all about the courses that I produced. |
| 0:42.5 | And they did a whole episode just on my course on government. |
| 0:46.9 | And I think this discussion that I had with them is of general interest. |
| 0:50.4 | It's not just for people who are interested in homeschooling or whatever, but the more general question of how you would teach government to people and make sure that the libertarian |

| 1:59.3 | which is where, of course, I give you $140 worth of free bonuses if you decide to join the Ron Paul curriculum. So please bear that in mind. |
