This is the third episode of the Right Minds Podcast, hosted by Dieuwe de Boer and Origen, recorded on the evening of Tuesday 30th April, 2019\. Your usual co-host Jesse Anderson was ill, but he sends his regards to his dozens of doting fans. Topics covered are:

- Simon’s fixation on prison slushy machines. Was this really the right slush fund to focus on when there are so many more important issues?
- Brian Tamaki’s “prison warfare” with the cabinet over the recognition of his Man Up programme.
- Massive embarrassment for the police after guns were stolen from a Palmerston North station.
- More embarrassment for the police as their “secret list” of 100 people under surveillance was leaked to Stuff.
- A lengthy discussion around the context of the Crusades, and why they weren’t half as bad as Marxist professors make them out to be.

> Next week we should be joined by Elliot Ikilei, deputy leader of the New Conservative Party, for what is bound to be a very interesting interview.

I asked our guest to provide us with a piece of classical music to close the podcast with, which means it’s not Bach this time. We are jumping forward a few centuries, shifting genres and countries: Verdi was a 19th century Italian opera composer. Origen requested that we end with a sample of Il Lacerato Spirito from the opera Simon Boccanegra. Do listen to the whole aria on Youtube if you can.
