Welcome to the Advisory Opinions Podcast. This is David French with Sarah Isker. We've got a lot to cover.

We're going to talk about school curriculum law, political speech and churches, self-defense and the Kyle Rittenhouse case,

which caused a kerfuffle online. And then thanks to Sarah bringing up a delightful New York time story,

we're going to have a little bit of a tri-generational snark where a gin exer and a millennial talk about Gen Z in the workplace.

So can I just can I I want to tease that with this one quote,

dude, we sell tomato sauce. We don't sell politics. These are political tomatoes. This is political tomato sauce.

That Oh, I almost want to skip to the end. I really do. I almost want to skip straight to the end and start there. But we can't do that.

We can't do that. We have to we have to leave you on the line.

Before we dive into law, Sarah, I wanted to mention two things. One, if you're not a subscriber to the dispatch,

today's a great day to join for two reasons. Reason number one is if you've been really confused about this dispute between Anthony Fauci and Rand Paul about gain of function research that sort of seems to burn up the internet.

Literally this we just published the best single explainer of that whole thing that I have read ever.

And if you're not a subscriber, you can't get the whole thing. So subscribe, read it. You will be a hit at cocktail parties whenever the gain of function research controversy comes up as it always does now.

And the other one is I'm trying a inaugural ask me anything tonight at seven o'clock Eastern for members only.

So one of the things that we're trying to do different things and we're going to be doing different things to engage more with our members.

And one of those things we're trying is hey, if you read my newsletters, if you listen to this marvelous podcast, log on and ask me whatever you want to ask me.

So those are two things for members only that I wanted to highlight. But Sarah, we're going to wade into the school curriculum wars right now again, again.

And so what I want to do, I thought what we do is we're actually going to repeat some stuff we said months and months and months ago.

But just keeps being salient. And one of the reasons why it was salient is there were some pretty spiced there were some pretty spicy exchanges on Capitol Hill yesterday, including some stuff about a Nazi salute.

So I guess should we just like get that out of the way before we dive into the school curriculum law.

Always start with the Nazi salute is a real rule of mine. You know, it's funny. I was teaching my undergrads yesterday and it was press conference day where I teach them sort of the rules of the road of press conferences and part of that is showing a whole bunch of press conference failures.

Most of which are atmospheric or you know that I start with the Sarah Palin Turkey Thanksgiving one where the Turkey is being slaughtered in the background.

It's so great. It's awesome. And it's it's a very memorable way to think about what's behind you in any press conference.
