Welcome to the Reason Roundtable, your source of reliably a libertarian news and analysis commentary,

brought to you by the magazine of Free Minds and Free Markets.

I'm Matt Welch, joined as per the ancient ritual by Nicholas B. Peter Sudutterbin and Catherine Mangue War.

Happy Veterans Day, everyone, and thank you for all for serving.

Did you just call her Catherine Mangue War?

Yeah, because it's Veterans Day?

I think that is what happened.

The D was just a little silent.

It wasn't that.

I was just kind of going Cuban with it all.

Howdy, Matt.

Hi. Hi, Matt. Hi.

Hi, Matt. Happy Veterans Day. So we're going to get to last week's earthquake of a presidential election here in a moment. But first, a word from our sponsors over at St. John's College. Friends,

do you know who is welcome at St. John's College? All are welcome at St. John's College. Friends, do you know who is welcome at St. John's College?

All are welcome at St. John's College. That's who. From America's founding fathers to the Greek

James Baldwin, and Virginia Woolf,

Here, there are no secondary sources,

no experts, and no one telling you what to believe.

Instead, it's original sources.
