0:00.0	G'day, g'day everybody. Hello and welcome to this special episode of Pints with Aquinas,
0:05.1	in which we will be interviewing, chatting with Michael Nulls from the Daily Wire.
0:09.8	I plan on throwing at Michael Nulls objections that Catholics sometimes have for voting for Trump.
0:17.0	Now both Michael and myself are practicing Catholics, and so in today's episode,
0:22.3	we'll try to see if we can respond to these objections. You might be on the fence,
0:25.8	not sure who you should be voting for. Maybe you've decided you're not going to vote at all.
0:29.3	Maybe you're a Biden supporter, but are open to voting for Trump. Wherever you're at,
0:33.8	thanks for being here. We plan on chatting for about 30 minutes or so and then taking questions
0:39.2	in the live stream. So again, thanks for being here. I think two, it's probably worth recognizing

0:48.2	Living in Australia, we didn't have the same emphasis on politics as you all do here. And I'm a

1:03.8	wrote a document called Day Ragnot in which he discussed the merits of different political systems.
1:09.3	So that's what we'll be doing today. Before I bring Michael on, though, I want to let you know
1:16.3	that this, let's have a look here. This two weeks from now, I will be hosting the largest Catholic
1:24.2	apologetics conference that has ever taken place in the history of mankind. You're welcome.
1:28.8	We have well over 60 presenters like Dr William Lane Craig, who's not even a Catholic, but he'll
1:33.2	be there giving a talk. Very Catholic friendly. Dr. Ed Faser, Dr. Scott Hahn, Dr. Peter Craved,
1:39.2	the list goes on and on. It's from October 23rd through 25th. It's 100% free and it's 100% virtual.
1:45.6	So no matter where you are, you can participate. I've put a link in the description below. Be
1:50.4	sure to register because we're going to have a ton of talks. We're looking at having about 60,000
