and. In fact no woman should ever write an article about porn because they don't get it. Only men understand what the whole thing is about because it's a male thing.

't go march anywhere. That seems like a lot of trouble. But they did. They traveled. They marched. They took the risk. They were real patriots. They really really loved their country. They really really loved their country so much so it was probably an identity. I'll bet you they own flags. I'll bet you they act patriotically and it becomes part of their character.

Now suppose that you had made your entire personality around the goodness of America. That you were trying to defend the goodness of America. You were trying to keep that goodness. That's why you were there. And then that country that you were fighting for decided to prosecute you maliciously in a way that you believe is absolutely a miscarriage of justice. And then worse, you want to make it worse, and then their fellow citizens, that's us, we let it happen. We let it happen. So here are people who believed in their country. They believed in their fellow citizens. And we betrayed them. We didn't just ignore them. We betrayed them. We absolutely, you and I, we betrayed them. Because you know what we should have been? We should have all left our jobs and circled the Capitol and said it's time, you got to let these guys go. Like if we had been the patriots that they were we would have helped them. But we weren't.

Don't let yourself have a pass. There's no pass. You're a citizen of this country. You let that happen right in front of you and you're still letting it happen right now. You can maybe fix it on Election Day but this is on you and me. And me more than you by the way. Me far more than you because I'm a public figure so I should be doing more than you should be doing. But I didn't. I didn't. It's on me and I feel it. I actually feel the weight of that. Yep. The country failed them and so did you and so did I. So let's fix it. Anybody up for fixing it?

Well here's what you got to do. You got to make sure that the architecture of deceit is dismantled. Elon Musk is going to apparently be the shock force for doing that. Maybe you can get in behind him and let him take the heat but maybe you can help. We saw that Tim Pool and the Babylon Bee both of them individually said they'd put up a quarter million dollars of extra advertising on X as a show of support. More than replacing what Apple and IBM and those are doing. But they're doing it right. They put their money where their mouths are because that's their money, right? I don't think either of those organizations had a spare quarter million dollars sitting around. That was a real act. That is so. So maybe you could find your way to help as well. If you let anybody who's unhappy with the country no

t vote while you're failing, you're failing the people who died. You're failing January 6. So your job is to get the January 6ers out of jail, the ones that are still alive. So you're not just voting. It's your job. Because if you were in jail it would be their job to get you out. That's how this works, right? That's the whole country situation. It's your job to get them out because you know your…
