Civil War. So that's our history.

So do you believe that the history of why the Civil War was fought and why slavery was ended, given that you're observing in real time that the real modern things you can see with your own eyes are being reported as completely fictional stories while you watch, do you believe that the story of the Civil War and slavery are accurately told even in a directional sense even sort of a general direction? I would say no. I would say there's nothing I believe about the telling of the Civil War.

Now let me give you another one. Let's say someday the Ukraine Russia war is in the history books and then somebody reads about it 20 years from now. What will that history book tell you about the cause of the war? Well I've got a feeling it's going to say something like Putin was a monster and he likes to take over his neighbors. Does that match the history that you understand while you're living in it? We're living in it right now. Does that sound like what the right history is? Not even close.

Do you think the history books will say that NATO and the United States miscalculated tragically in trying to expand NATO which was a known provocation that would almost certainly start a tragic war and we walked right into the most obvious and known trap in the world and we just sprung the trap because we're all idiots or incompetent or stupid or we're trying to fund the military industrial complex? Do you think the history book will say that? Because that's what I see. I'm alive right now. I read the news every day. What is it that the historians are going to read that I don't have access to? I feel like I'm looking at enough right.

But if you can live through today knowing that all of the important stories, well take Trump himself. How are history books going to talk about January 6 as an attempted insurrection? It wasn't but they'll probably say that. If you know that all of the things that are happening right around you today are going to be written in history books as fiction you know that don't you? Is that too far? Have I made my case or is it just obvious to all of you that the history that will be written of our current moment will all be fake and obviously so? It will all be obviously fake from our perspective yeah. So why would you believe anything about the Civil War and its causes? I don't. I don't believe Tom Cotton. I don't believe he knows. I mean it's a good guess and well I'll give Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz both credit because their interpretation of it is one that's positive for Republicans and positive for America. So they're kind of putting a patriotic spin on it which I don't mind because they're in that job. They're sort of in the job of making sure America feels good about itself. So I'm going to give them a pass for not being historic. You know they're in Congress so that's good. I don't mind that they handle it that way.

Here's what Haley, Nikki Haley said when somebody asked a follow-up question you know as she got why the Civil War was fought and she didn't mention slavery right away. So she's sort of trying to fix that. But first thing she said was she thought that the person who asked her the question was a Democrat plant. How many o
