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

1:40.9	movement around that idea, please email us at unregistered podcast at gmail.com.
1:48.3	My guest this week has become nationally well known for offering an alternative to college-age
1:53.3	students through his work with his company Praxis. But what I also found out in this interview
1:57.9	is that he is fearless, fearless not just about talking about
2:01.8	politics and higher education, but about himself, his life, and the people around him. He is
2:08.7	willing to say what very few people are. In short, he's the perfect unregistered guest. This is my
2:16.6	interview with Isaac Morehouse.
2:25.8	So about five or six years ago, I gave a talk to a group of libertarian students at Tulane
