0:00.0	This is the Unregistered Podcast, and I'm Thaddeus Russell.
0:07.2	This is a show about ideas, people, and behaviors that are considered inappropriate, out of bounds, or beyond the pale.
0:15.5	The things you're not supposed to talk about if you're a schoolteacher, a college professor, a businessman, a politician, a parent, a neighbor, or even a podcast host. These are the things you're not supposed to say or even think if you're a good liberal, a good conservative, or a good citizen. Each week, I'll interview a person who has something bad to say.
0:40.2	They might be a journalist or a professor, they might be a porn star or a drug dealer.
0:45.3	They might just be an ordinary person with an ordinary job who doesn't care about the rules of
0:50.7	polite society. I'm not interested in breaking the rules just to be a troublemaker.
0:56.1	I'm interested in people who break the rules of conventional thought and to expand the scope of
1:01.4	what is possible to say in our society. I'm interested in people who make me think.
1:08.3	In two weeks, we will have our first meeting of Renegade University in the nation's capital.

1:21.8	guest, Camille Foster of unregistered fame, also, of course, of the fifth column podcast, and the lead producer

1:34.4	weekend. For more information and to buy tickets for the Renegade University weekend in Washington,
1:39.9	D.C., with me and Camille Foster, go to Thaddeus Russell.com slash courses.
1:48.0	Politics is about power. Control, punishment, prisons, armies, war, and death. People who do politics,
1:59.9	in my experience, tend to be quite miserable because of this.
2:03.0	But politics can also be about making people happy.
2:09.2	Politics can even be about making oneself happy.
2:15.1	This is my interview with John Gabriel.
2:25.0	I have run across this very strange creature. I don't think I've ever found one in captivity
2:30.1	or in the wild. It's a person who has devoted their lives to politics but seems to be happy.
