| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Breakpoint podcast. I'm John Stone Street and I'm going to have a conversation |
| 0:05.0 | today with Dr. Ryan Anderson. Ryan's been on the program before. At that point, he was with |
| 0:10.5 | the Heritage Foundation. And I guess I got to launch in here, Ryan, by saying congrats on the new |
| 0:15.1 | gig as president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center. Tell us a little bit just quickly about |
| 0:20.3 | EPPC and what that |
| 0:21.4 | new role is for you. Sure. So EPPC was started in 1976, so the bicentennial year of our nation. |

| 1:09.9 | things haven't developed in a good direction, |

| 1:18.4 | And then applying it to all of the issues of the day, right? So we've been active the past |
| 1:22.2 | two weeks on the Bacera nomination at HHS. We've been active on the Equality Act. |
| 1:30.0 | We're going to have to increasingly get more active on some of the big tech stuff. There's just a lot of work to do. |
