everywhere. You just have to have them in the key places. So this is part of a theme of everything seems to be going Trump's way at the moment. We'll get into more Trump stuff but now that we know what could have happened it looks like the censorship machine is at least being wounded if not dismantled. It looks like the people who are going to watch the elections are going to watch it a lot more carefully. And by the way we still don't have an answer of why we use electronic counting machines. Nobody's even offered an explanation. How far do you think we can go into the election cycle without anybody anywhere offering a counterargument like oh yeah the machines are good? Because it's going to get more and more embarrassing the longer we go with nobody even trying to answer the question. And suppose somebody does answer the question even that's bad because why didn't the public know about any of that? Why is it we don't know why you're doing it? We should know that. Should be kind of transparent. We're doing it because maybe it's a good reason. Maybe.

Anyway you know if you ever heard that saying those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Sounded pretty smart when the first time you heard it. If I ignore history I'll fall into those same traps of the people in history so I better understand my history so I know what works and what doesn't work. Well that would make sense if history were real but we know that history is completely made up because we know that the current news is completely made up. What will the news say about the January 6 protest? They're already calling it an insurrection. No insurrection happened but that will be the news. And someday people will look at the history books and say hm that was a terrible insurrection back there in January 6. And it won't be real but it'll be history. So I'm updating that to those who ignore history are less misinformed. The more you know about history the dumber you get. So when I hear the historians especially the presidential historians weighing in as experts I think to myself your entire industry is built around you're actually analyzing the entrails of people who lied to you. You're not even looking at the history. You're looking at the entrails of the liars and telling me what you think will happen in the future. The dumbest thing ever.

So I wondered how many other old sayings were complete. So the whole thing about learning from history is ridiculous. Be yourself. Worst advice ever. Don't be yourself. That's a terrible idea. Figure out what would be a better version of yourself and try to work toward that. You're not done. You're not so good that being yourself is a good idea. You know what if you'd done that when you were 12 would you still be acting like a 12-year-old if you just thought that's how you were naturally? No. Don't act like yourself. Act like something useful. Act like something better than you. Maybe you'll become that person. How about follow your passion? We don't have to talk about that but we used to hear about that and now that's obviously. How about this big question about the Saudis not going to I don't know trade in US dollars and then our petrodollar domination will go away and the country will collapse. And I thought to myself I don't think anybody even knows what's going to happen. And as of today that's my current view looking at some expert opinions. Well it's probably not a big deal. So how many of you thought it was the end of the world and today you read the news and the experts like you know actually probably not that big a deal. How long have we been worrying about this being the collapse of the United States and then when it happens people go you know that's not the most important thing. So my current view is that there will just be adjustments and everything will work out.

You'd be surprised to find out that the Department of Justice who reports to Garland doesn't want to prosecute their boss for contempt. Huh. Bannon got prosecuted for contempt of Congress. Peter Navarro is still in jail for contempt of Congress. But when Garland is in contempt of Congress, no they're not going to prosecute it. Now the Republicans did a good job of forcing the hypocrites to out themselves so now we don't have to wonder. We don't have to wonder if there's two forms of justice, one for Republicans and one for Democrats. There it is. So your questions have been answered. There is a separate form of punishment for Republicans.

Well you heard a story that the House of Representatives passed some measure that would automatically register young men for the draft. Now the clarification is this. It was already the law that young men had to register for the draft. So this change is just doing it automatically. Is that bad news or good news? Well I'm pretty sure if a draft became necessary whether or not you registered would be less important than whether or not they had a way to find you. And they could always find you. So some number of people will not register for the draft because they didn't know they were supposed to. Just won't do it. They just didn't know it was important. Should they be in jail? Apparently it's jailable. Did you know that it's a felony to not register for the draft? How many of you didn't know that? So it could be a quarter of a million dollar fines, could be felony. But it's even more than that. Eventually when you age out of it and the statute of limitations wears off at that point you can't be jailed and you can't be fined. But apparently you are forever banned from working for the government or getting government financial help in a lot of things. And a lot of states have their own laws
