| 0:00.0 | Trump makes his case on the economy and how much has anti-white discrimination hurt young white males? We'll discuss all this and more on this edition of the editors. I'm Rich Lauery and I'm joined, as always, by the right, Honorable Charles C.W. Cook and the Grillmaster. Phil Klein, you are, of course, listening to a Nashville podcast, our sponsors. This episode are the University of Austin, Vair, do no harm and the fraternity forward coalition, more about all of them. |
| 0:39.2 | In due course, if for some reason you're not already following us on a streaming service, by the way, |
| 0:42.3 | can find us everywhere from Spotify to Apple Podcasts. |
| 0:44.6 | And if you like what you hear here, please consider giving us a glowing five-star reviewer. |
| 0:48.8 | If you don't like what you hear here, please forget. |
| 0:53.7 | I said anything. So before we start in earnest, let's hear a message from our friends at the University of Austin. You know college is broken, activist professors, seminars that feel like struggle sessions, $80,000 a year to hear Hamas chance on the quad while being told America's evil in class. |
| 1:11.5 | So what's the alternative? There's a new university in Texas that's doing the opposite. |

| 1:24.1 | They build actual companies on campus with mentorship from a vast network of top |
| 1:28.5 | entrepreneurs and investors. You can be openly Christian or Jewish without apology. And when you |
| 1:32.9 | walk into the main atrium, there's a giant American flag. UATX admits students based purely on |
| 1:39.2 | test scores, so the application takes just five minutes. And thanks to patriotic donors, tuition at UATX is completely |
| 1:45.7 | free forever to apply to the University of Austin. Visit u-Austin.org. That's u-Austin.org, |
| 1:53.7 | u-a-u-s-t-t-I-N.org. Please check it out. So phil trump gave a white house address not an oval office address |
| 2:06.5 | he was standing there with a lot of christmas stuff behind him there had been some speculation |
| 2:11.2 | that this would be announcing war against venezuela i don't think he actually he didn't mention |
| 2:16.6 | venezuela at all. The more |
| 2:18.9 | responsible reporting all along said this is going to be touting his record, which he did. Very |
| 2:24.5 | Trumpy speech, wild exaggerations about Joe Biden's faults, although it's a little hard to exaggerate |
| 2:31.7 | there, but Trump managed to. And then wild exaggerations about what he's done. |
| 2:36.2 | And he did show charts and tables to try to make his case that things are getting better |
| 2:40.5 | on the economy. |
