## Resource

Notre Dame's Tocqueville professor of political science, Vincent Phillip Munoz (Phil to his freinds and colleagues), joins this special episode which finds all three of your regular bartenders in the same room for once while on the road in Austin, Texas. Phil is one of the leading scholars of religious liberty in the U.S., and after a progress report on the Iran War (we're still winning), and a prolonged look at the Supreme Court oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara , the birthright citizenship case heard this week, we pick Phil's brain about the status of school prayer, and whether a restoration of organized prayer in public schools has a prayer of happening, taking as our cue Gerry Bradley's recent and provocative First Things article, " How To Bring Back School Prayer ." From there we briefly (but alas because we were out of sufficient time) but inadequately treat Phil's terrifically concise CRB essay " Ancient and Modern: How Straussians Interpret the Founding ," mostly to annoy John Yoo—and we succeeded!
