0:00.0	The Tom Woods Show, episode 853.
0:03.5	Prepare to set fire to the index card of allowable opinion.
0:08.3	Your daily dose of liberty education starts here, the Tom Woods Show.
0:14.7	Hey everybody, Tom Woods here.
0:16.2	I have just returned from a weekend away with my five children. Just me. Their mom is out of town for the weekend. So I thought, what the heck? We'll go on a little vacation together. And I have a feeling there could be parents out there who have five or fewer children who think taking them all by myself somewhere is just the last thing in the world I'd ever want to do.
0:40.8	And all I can say to my five girls is thank you for the fact that I've never felt that way.
0:46.7	That this was not like some prison I was in.
0:49.2	We made wonderful memories and had a wonderful time out of town over the weekend.
0:53.6	If you are on Facebook

1:32.0	Let me first remind everybody that I offer a free course on the presidents.
1:37.9	How about that? It's Brian McClanahan's course. You know, Brian, he's been a guest on the show, host of his own podcast, I might add,
1:45.1	and Brian has a course for Liberty Classroom.com on the presidents. Well, we give this course away
1:50.8	as a freebie, and it's a full, you know, full-fledged course. You can listen to it while you're
1:57.2	driving. We've got a full bibliography there of reliable books on the presidents.
2:03.1	We've got videos. If you prefer videos, we got MP3s, if you'd like that. It's 22 lessons,
2:10.1	and it costs you nothing. How do you get this miracle of 2017 answer over at freehistorycourse.com. So this being President's Day, I wanted
2:21.1	to remind you, I've got this free course on the Presidents, and it's at FreehistoryCourse.com.
