| 0:00.0 | Ben Shapiro Unleashed and Mass Resignations at the Heritage Foundation. |
| 0:20.3 | We'll discuss all this more on this edition of the editors. I'm Rich Lowry, and I'm joined, as always, by the right, Honorable Charles, C.W. Cook, the good neighbor, Noah Rothman, and the sage of authenticity, Woods, Jim Garrity. You are, of course, listening to an Ashley U. Podcast. Our sponsors this episode are the University of Austin made-in in unprecedented assault, a new book, and |
| 0:38.0 | there. More about all of them a due course. So for some reason you're not already following us |
| 0:42.0 | on a streaming service, by the way, can find us everywhere from Spotify to Apple Podcasts. |
| 0:46.0 | If you like what you hear here, please consider giving us a glowing five-star review wherever |
| 0:49.6 | you listen to your podcast. If you don't like what you hear here, please forget. I said anything. So before we |
| 0:56.5 | get into it in earnest, here's a message from our friends at the University of Austin. You know college |
| 1:01.0 | is broken. Activist professors, seminars that feel like struggle sessions, $80,000 a year to hear |
| 1:07.6 | Hamas chance on the quad while being told America's evil in class. |
| 1:11.3 | So what's the alternative? There's a new university in Texas that's doing the opposite. |

| 1:20.9 | civilization to learn from them, not tear them down. They build actual companies on campus |
| 1:25.6 | with mentorship from a vast network of top |
| 1:28.2 | entrepreneurs and investors. You can be openly Christian or Jewish without apology, and when you |
| 1:33.1 | walk into the main atrium, there's a giant American flag. UATX emits students based purely on |
| 1:39.9 | test scores, so the application takes just five minutes. And thanks to patriotic donors, tuition at |
| 1:45.2 | UATX is completely free forever. To apply to the University of Austin, visit u-Austin.org. That's |
| 1:51.5 | u-A-U-S-T-I-N.org.U-A-U-ST-I-N.org, please check it out. So Jim Garrity, |
| 1:59.0 | we're recording a little earlier than usual because of the holiday |
| 2:02.7 | schedule. This is our pre-Christmas podcast. We're going Monday morning here and everyone's still |
| 2:08.5 | buzzing after the big weekend at TPUSA. Ben Shapiro has been on a tear. Gave a speech earlier |
| 2:17.3 | last week at the Heritage Foundation. |
