Welcome to the Eric Metaxis show with your host, Eric Metaxis.

Hey, folks, welcome to hour two of the Eric Metaxus show.

I'm playing the role of Eric Metaxus.

I'm doing the best I can.

I'm his understudy, but I've watched him do his thing, and I think I can do it.

We have a guest right now, Nick Freitas.

He is a former Green Beret.

He did a couple of combat tours in Iraq. He is a former Green Beret, did a couple of combat tours in Iraq.

He is now a member of the Virginia House of Delegates.

But the reason he's on this program is he's creating these fabulous videos called the Y Minutes, W-H-Y Minutes.

Nick, welcome.

Oh, thank you very much for having me on, Eric. How did you get this idea

to create these videos? Well, I've got to give the credit to Afraida Levy. She started this

program a while back, and we relaunched it in February. But the whole idea was to make an attempt

to really engage with the culture, because I think we have so many times where people think that politics is the primary way that you engage.

When really when you look at the overall cultural battle of ideas that we're experiencing right now,

that battle is being fought everywhere from the halls of Congress to our classrooms,

our college universities, Hollywood, and around the kitchen table.

And we want to do engage in that battle of ideas, essentially, and to advocate for a free

society and for free markets and really for combination of individual liberty and personal

responsibility. And we just wanted to do it in a way that we thought would be catchy

and easily shareable.
