0:00.0 | Welcome to this episode of Making the Argument. I've got my coffee mug that my wife got me for my |
0:04.4 | birthday, Nick's ugly mug. Yes, today we're going to do something a little bit different. |
0:08.4 | We got invited to go and speak to students at the University of Virginia Charlottesville, |
0:13.8 | and we had some time to talk about conservative philosophy, how we should defend that philosophy, |
0:19.1 | but we spent most of the time answering |
0:21.2 | questions from students. |
