Attention. You're listening to the top huff radio show, America's home for conservative
not bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been
documented to prevent and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean
to the right. Here's your conservative but not Bitter host, Todd Huff.
Oh, my friend, I don't know if you have seen this, but
according to the most recent odds out there, this is a headline in the
Washington Examiner, which is on our Stack of Stuff page on the website tot
huffshow dot com, written by Paul Bedard. Here headline says Trump's odds of
winning hit a new high. He's nineteen points over Biden. That's not nineteen
points ahead in the polls. That means that according to a political odds maker,
which is called an online political odds maker called sports Handle. Sports Handle
has found, according to their odds making capabilities, that Trump has a fifty
eight point six, yes, point six percent chance of winning the upcoming election.
And he's had this lead, not by this many points, but he's
maintained a lead since last October. That would be October of twenty twenty three.
Biden, by the way, his odds of winning re election, according
to this site, are thirty nine percent. So if you take the fifty
eight point six percent and you subtract the thirty nine percent and you ran,
you got to accommodate a little bit of a rounding here. I know,
it's a lot of math. If I got a socialist tuned in here this
morning, that shows that Trump is up nineteen percent, He's He's got a
nineteen percentage point lead regarding the odds of winning the upcoming election. So that's
a big deal. I mean, it's it's look, it's it's odds makers
and all that, but it's still an important indication. And when I read
these things to you or when I share this, I you know, always
on the other side of the of the good news of this, always the
risk is that people become complacent, which I know you're not going to,
but you know that's that's the threat. That's the risk here is that you
look at all these indicators and some people will say, I just I'm not
going to go vote I need to, I'm just going to stay home.
Trump's got this in the bag. We can't look at it that way.
So I want to talk about this today. There's other stuff, plenty of
stuff in the stack of stuff today, and we will get to that in
due course. But my friends, before we get rocket and rolling here,
let me remind you MyPillow dot com slash todd My Pillow is having their twenty
five dollars extravaganza. That means that they've got they've got a whole list of
products, a whole bunch of products on their website that are on sale as
part of this twenty five dollars extravaganza. They've done this sale, no correction,
this extravaganza. They've done this extravaganza because they are going through this process.
Well, they've this is the in the wake of being canceled. They've
realized that, Hey, instead of fighting this fight and losing these battles,
losing these battles, having our products pulled from box stores and everything else,
We're just gonna put all of our efforts into selling directly to people on our
website, make our products available there. They've always done this, but you
know, now they're having to to revamp their business model because of the Ansel
culture that's out there. People hate Mike Lindell, people hate My Pillow.
They hate what he stands for, what his company stands for. But it's
a good product, my friends. We'll use it. Here in the Huff
household. They've got pillows, of course, they've got sheets, they've got
towels. The towels are fantastic, very soft, and they actually dry you,
which is a phenomenon with some towels. They don't actually dry these towels
do. They've got dog beds and Echo and Tango here in the Huff Household.
Both there's a bunch of paws. What's that four paws? Four paws
up approval on the dogbed. I've seen both of these dogs. I'm not
kidding you laying on the dogbed. It's a big dog bed, but still
it's a little cozy. And we've got a Tango's a chunky butt, and
Echo prefers to lay right in the middle anyway, whatever the case may be.

The odds that Trump is going to win, according to odds makers,
are fifty eight percent. Fifty eight percent, actually almost fifty nine. But
what I tell you, it was fifty eight point six approaching fifty nine percent.
So they didn't even when they did the math, they didn't even round
up and then say that's a twenty point advantage. They they gave Biden the
benefit of the down and so that's nineteen point advantage over over Biden's odds.
I still think that this is way too close. I mean, that's that's
My first take is that there's no way in a sane world, in a
sane world, which I know we don't have, so please don't mist understand.
But in a sane world, the odds that Trump should win should not
be capped. Well it's not capped, but they shouldn't right now have a
ceiling of fifty eight percent. That's the first thing. The second thing is,
of course, I think about what we have to do to ensure that
this is actually the result, because the left is never going to throw in
the towel. The left is never going to give up. The left eats
and breathes this stuff. This is their life. I've said that to the
left, to the radical left, government is religion. It is government is
a worship of God. You know, worship I've shared this on here before.
Worship is to consider something ultimately worthy. And to the radical left,
there is no greater thing in life as we know it than government. It's
their tool to be able to force the rest of us to comply with their
nonsensical, radical nonsense. I said, nonsensical and nonsense, how about nonsensical
radical gibberish? So we have, of course, it's not the intent of
government, but that's what it's being used for today. In fact, if
you look at the founding documents, you look at the Constitution, that the
government's not supposed to be able to manipulate and coerce us like that. But
they do, and we know that they do. We're quite aware of what's
going on. But this is why they like it. They think that they're
smarter than the rest of us, that they are worthy of having this power
and authority. The rest of us need to sit down and shut up and
let them take control of things. That's what they think, and that's what
they do, and that's why they love it, and that's why they fall
at the feet of government and just worship this. Now you can understand that
government is important while also understanding that it is not worthy of our worship.
It's not worthy of our worship. In fact, that's why I'm a conservative
Christian. I think it's important the way that we live this side of heaven.
I think it's important that the type of government that we have, the
types of laws that are passed. I also think culture is important, So
I think that people who are influencing culture, people that are in entertainment,
I think that's important. I think that the way that we live our day
to day lives, which includes where we work. I think that the woke
business culture is a major problem that needs to be addressed. I think there's
lots of things that are important, lots of areas that we need to be
involved as limited government conservatives, as people who understand that you know, there
is there is a best way of doing everything. There is good and bad,
there is good and evil, right and wrong. Not everything falls on
that continuum. Some things are a matter of preference, of course, but
there are things that are objectively right or objectively wrong. And having the things
that are objectively wrong crammed down the throats of the American people by force,
using government as force is an atrocity. It's an it's an abject evil that
has to be stopped, that has to be stopped. And so, my
friends, it's why it's important that we win this upcoming election. Trump again
fifty eight percent chance of winning. That should be higher. I remember on
the morning of the election twenty sixteen. I remember waking up and people asking
me, what do you think our chances are todd and I said fifty to
fifty. That's what I thought back in the day, I thought fifty to
fifty this could be, this could end for Trump. You know, it
was. It's a couple of states. You know, if Trump doesn't get
Pennsylvania and Michigan states like that, then Wisconsin he's not gonna win. Hillary's
the president of the United States. And as I talked about last hour,
Merrick Garland, I don't know if she would have continued that nomination that Barack
Obama made. She might have made someone else Supreme Court Justice of the United
States. I'm not sure. I do know that things would be dramatically worse
if Trump wasn't president of the United States in twenty sixteen. Hillary would probably
still be president. Think about that, and some ways we could say we
avoided the Bidenomics disaster, but we know that Hillary would have done similar things.
This is who these people are. It's what they believe. They're willing
to burn this country metaphorically to the ground, to have this country remade into
something that they prefer, which is something that is molded in a radical leftist
worldview, and so the elections are important. It's in a way it's staggering
to me that Trump's odds aren't even higher than this now I don't know if
this takes into account election integrity. I don't know if this takes into account
some shenanigans that could take place at any given moment in time after election day.
But nonetheless, Trump has a fifty eight percent chance of winning, according
to odds makers at sportshandle dot com, which again's in the stack of stuff
now, talking about being having things thrust upon us, forced upon US government,
being the boss of us. These are all anti American concepts and ideas,
but it's what's happened, and it is what happened during COVID. Make
no mistake, that's not what happened during COVID was not an American response.
And so there's an article I stumbled across. This is at the Federalist dot
com. The headline here, the contrarians were right about COVID hysteria. The
contrarians, So those of us who opposed the COVID nonsense can be called contrarians.
I would say, I remember saying this back during COVID, the dust,
when the dust settles, when the dust subtles, those of us who
had questions and criticisms about what happened, how they manage the situation, the
things that they forced us to do, the things that they try to do
to intimidate us, all these things. We are going to find out once
the dust settles, that we were right and that is absolutely what happened.
And I want to take a little bit of a quick look here at this
piece again as we think about Trump being the person that's statistically the front runner
in the election, most likely at this point in time to be president,
these sorts of things are what is hanging hanging in the balance more of this
type of behavior, these policies and reactions to COVID, These things are embraced
by people who love government, and by the way, they're in both parties,
they flock to the left. None of them are conservatives. Some of
them are still Republicans because well, for a myriad of reasons I want to
I don't want to get to at the moment, but they're not conservatives.
These are people who are rhino Republicans or Democrats, and the leftists are the
ones that are running the show. Again. They think that they're better than
you, smarter than you, and should be ruling over you. So I
want to kind of touch on this article because in a way, these two
diametrically opposed worldviews, which are embodied by our candidates Biden and Trump, we
can go in two absolutely different directions. One is, we can go more
towards some of the nonsense we saw with COVID policies and everything else, or
we can see a nation that moves more towards freedom and liberty and opportunity.
Trump of course representing the left, Biden of course, completely embodying the former.
So but before we do that, let me remind you, my friends,
that in the past two years, seven hundred thousand Americans have passed away.
In each of those two years, it's almost one and a half million
people passed away from heart disease. That's why we've partnered with Salty Soltea Salty

do not necessarily agree with the views, ideas, and opinions expressed on this
program, but they absolutely should. So you look here, you look here
at this article at the federalis dot com. The contrarians were right about COVID
hysteria, and they were people who had questions, people who said, this
is crazy, people who said, what is going on? Where did all
of the reasonable people go? What the world happened to my country? Why
are we looking at people not as human beings but rather as people who can
transmit germs and disease? What happened? Why are we standing six feet apart?
Why are we washing our groceries? Why are we doing all sorts of
things? Why are we wearing masks? We've been proven to be right on
all of those things. The questions that we had about the safety of the
vaccines, all of these things we've been proven right about, been proven right
about. I'm not saying that, you know, these are personal decisions,
but the way this was handled, the way this was forced on people,
the way that the government lost all regard for anything besides besides public health.
Of course, the government has an interest in public health, but that does
not mean they get to burn down your personal liberties and destroy the economy and
the process. I remember, in the days of COVID, talking about this
was like a kind of like a three legged stool. You've got constitution,
you've got our liberties, you've got the economy, and you've got public health.
You have to be mindful of all those things. And the government wasn't.
The government was not worried about any of these things. State governments,
federal government. I mean, there was a lot of pressure and Trump was
still president at the time. Most of the craziness. Of course, it
was recommendations being made by doctor Anthony Fauci, although he acts like he didn't
make these recommendations now, but it was the states. The federal government,
to Trump's credit here, never got involved on a federal level doing some national
lockdown. They left it up to the states. But man, the states
were unbelievable in what they did. We, of course, here in this
state, we had a Republican governor, Eric Holcomb who just told us to
hunker down. Hoos yours, you hunker down. Meanwhile, he was out
living it up, going to Brown County, out there hugging people, making
his pizza while telling the rest of us to socially distanced. I mean,
it's pathetic what we had to deal with and endure. None of it made
any sense. These folks were never held to accounts. It's like they're saying,
for those who looked at this and were just duped into believing this nonsense,
it's as though they've looked at it and said, Oops, we're sorry,
let's move on. I don't think they said they're sorry. Woops.
Maybe we'll be better next time. But there's other people that absolutely use this
to weaponize this fear against the American people. And it's a sad, sad
thing. So I'm going to read a part of this article and this author
here, David Harsani, I believe he wrote this, and here's what it
says. If you have if you head over to the Federalist entry on Wikipedia,
you will find, among other smears of our little operation, a COVID
nineteen pandemic misinformation section. It's a sad reminder of how authoritarians misused the idea
of quote misinformation to quash debate and control the conversation during the COVID nineteen pandemic.
Wikipedia contends the Federalist published many pieces that contained false information, pseudoscience,
and contradictions are misrepresentations of the recommendations of public health authorities. According to Media
Matters for America, Oh Boy, The entry goes on the Federalist published articles
on calling on the government to quickly end social distancing directions into open businesses.
Again to begin with the author rights here. Even if Federalist writers had turned
out to be completely wrong about lockdowns and social distancing, calculating the trade offs
of public policy in forming opinions that conflict with public health officials isn't any kind
of quote misinformation. It's the way we debate in an open society. Boy,
isn't that the truth? Isn't that the truth? That's something that we've
lost as well. And you know, you could combine COVID misinformation, all
that, all that nonsense. You could also say the same thing is true
with the way that you're allowed to talk about election integrity, elections, outcomes
of elections, and so forth. So I'm looking at the clock here,
I've got about a minute left before I've got it. Got a heart break
here. So that's not how you Well, what he's describing is how debates
should work. What happened during COVID is absolutely not how public discourse should happen.
Bad things happen, absolutely horrific things happen when you're not allowed to engage
in these sorts of debates or even ask questions. I can't tell you the
number of things I had taken down from social media because I simply asked questions
about things, whether it was COVID or whether it's about election results. Asking
a question is not a bad It's not a bad thing. Should we not
allow people to get information? Let's say, let's say that they ask a
question about something that's quote unquote settled science, just for the sake of using
their own terminology. Should we not at least try to help them understand the
answer. Should people not try to help someone understand the answer more fully so
that they have more confidence in the fact that it is quote unquote settled science.
I don't understand. I don't shy away when people ask me questions about,
say my belief in God, or my faith in God, about the
Bible. Have all the answers, but I don't say you can't ask me
that you need to be locked away in prison because you had the question,
what in the world you should be silenced on Facebook because you have this question
in this day. Maybe they don't have a doubt, Maybe they just want
to understand. It's a remarkable thing that happened, and those of us who
had the questions, those of us who bucked the system, those of us
who said, you're out of control. I mean yeah, for the first
few weeks, I think by and large most everybody complied with stuff. But
when we realize this is not fifteen days to stop the spread. This is
an absolute, heavy handed, out of control, never ending answer to whatever's
going on here, the rest of us decided, or many of us decided,
that we were going to start asking questions. Too. Many people just
went along to get along, but it cost them. Some of them were
forced to get the shot. It's remarkable what happened here. Timeouts in order,
though, my friends, more on this on the other side of the
break. You're listening to conservative not bitter talking. I'm your host, Tod
Huff Back in just a minute. Welcome back to my friends. So continue
talking about this article of The Federalist. You can see it on the stack
of stuff. But I want to review again just how wrong the experts were,
Just how wrong and misleading the wizards of Smart To steal a phrase used
by the late great Rush Limbaugh, how wrong the wizards of Smart were in
the pillar of propaganda currently being well, we currently know a science. They
use propaganda to push us to believe leftist nonsense, and they did that during
COVID. I'm going to go through this article and talk about some of the
ways that we that we were right the contrarians, as the author says here,
but also so you know, just identified the risks that this is.
This is why limited government is a good thing and it's why big government is
a very very bad thing. So, before my friends, we get into
that continue that, let me let me take a moment to tell you that
Oz and I recently started shopping at my USA shop club dot com. We're
glad we did this, and we realize that it's no wonder after shopping here
that more than two million American households choose to shop with them each and every
month. We love that this is a patriot owned and operated manufacturer that supports
American families, American values, and it feels good, my friends, to
ditch the need for the big conglomerates every chance that we can, because they
often support these radical left wing agendas. That's something that we as Americans need
to be more mindful of the dollars that we spend for things that we need,
ending up supporting causes or candidates that we are vehemently fighting against each and
every day. On top of all that, though, my friends, we're
getting a better, non toxic brand that saves us money. And of course,
who couldn't use a little bit more money in Biden's economy. We are
all busy, so having the order shipped directly to our door is a big
plus. Men out there listening to me. If you are like me,
you're not the shopper in your household, but you still use these products.
So would advise you to take a moment to pass along this information to the
shopper in your household. MYUSA shop club dot com you can visit there,
put in your request to get started today. And my friends, I didn't
mention this, but my USA shop Club also has beef grass fed, no
hormone, no mRNA, no antibiotics. My USA shop club dot com.
That's the website. You'll go there, put in your request to get started
with them today. Again, that's my USA shop club dot com. Interested

than you may think. Visit Toddhuffshow dot com slash speak for more information.
So we're going through just some of the ways some of the ways that science
quote unquote science, government failed us, media failed us. All these people
who were using these these seven pillars of society to pressure us into doing things,
behaving in ways that were inconsistent with logic. They wouldn't answer our questions,
They tried to bully us. They forced people to get vaccinated. Some
people have dealing with things in the in the wake of that, it was
get vaccinated or get you lose your job. I mean, it got out
of control. We got to that point and as the dust has settled,
which it inevitably we knew it was going to settle. But as the dust
is coming to find, you know, to finally settle, we realized that
those of us who had questions, those of us who had concerns, those
of us who were quote unquote the contrarians on this stuff were proven to be
correct. So going back to the article article here just some of the things
that we found in the wake of the dust settling, or in the process
of the dust settling, social distancing rules we rule. We figured out this
was an interview that Fauci had with the House Select Committee earlier this year,
social social distancing was total nonsense. Fauci told the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus
pandemic that the social distancing guidelines just sort of aared that six feet is going
to be the distance. They just picked a number. Let's just say six
feet. That's what happened. That is what science told you. That is
what we built this entire nonsense on. Where you got x is on the
floors in supermarkets, you got circles when you're standing in line, don't get
this close to people. You remember it was an election here twenty twenty.
You remember Biden had campaign quote unquote rallies, and none of his things are
rallies. People put up with that stuff because that's they hate Trump so bad.
But they would sit in circles, remember this, sitting in circles.
They had some rallies quote unquote rallies where they would sit in their cars listening
to Biden's speak, occasionally honking the horn. I'm you'll never convince me that
the horn honking was anything more than people dozing off and their heads hitting those
horns. There's no way that Biden's speeches could have gotten one authentic horn honk
let alone the hundreds that they got, I think it was people dozing off.
You'll never convince me otherwise. So all of this stuff was a result
of to some degree, this concept of social distancing. And now we find
out it just sort of happened. I'm reading from the article here. Now
it just sort of happened. Doesn't sound like the vigorous inquiry we were promised
by the self ordained pontiff of silence of science. Yet anyone who dared to
tread within say, five feet of another person was accused of being in a
death cult and often censored on social media. That's the truth, right,
You just want grandma to die. No, I don't want grandma to die.
Specifically, don't want anybody to die or to get this. But it
has nothing to do with me getting within six feet of them. And now
we know that article continues here. One of the problems was that Falci could
never admit to being unsure of anything. Remember what he told Americans, quote,
there's no reason to be walking around with the mask. What he said
at the beginning, there's no reason. But then months later it's forgotten about
this he wanted us wearing two of them at the same time. I'd forgotten
that, and goggles and gloves, by the way, I still see this
I personally, if you want to wear a mask, it's your prerogative.
Go for it. And look, there are some things that maybe people need
that stuff. I'm not a medical doctor. Again, I'm skeptical of all
this. But be that as it may your life. Do what you want
to do. But I got to tell you to see people today here and
where I am in central Indiana, which is not like the hotbed of craziness
in this country, although we certainly have pockets maybe Bloomington is. But to
see people driving down the road, and I've seen this in multiple occasions by
themselves in a car, by themselves on the highway or driving through town and
people who have masks on in the car with no one else in there.
I truly I find myself thinking to myself, the government has done a number
on these people. They have done a number on these people. Again,
if you want to wear it in public, whatever I saw, I saw
somebody went when when Oz and I went down to southern Indiana helped me out.
Oz, what was it to Madison? I saw some young kid,
I say, a teenage kid, maybe young adult in eighteen twenty something like
that, walking the streets of Madison wearing a mask and there weren't many people.
I mean, fine, fine, his prerogative. But folks have been
scared out of their minds into this. And you know what, it's not
just with COVID. It's scared out of their minds about Trump. It's scared
out of their minds about capitalism. It's being scared out of their minds regarding
I mean religious people actually running for office because they're going to establish some sort
of a theocracy. I mean, it happens at every turn. It's blown
so far out of proportion, and people live in this perpetual state of ridiculous
fear. And how quickly people were willing to throw away everything they knew.
That's one of the things I learned from this. How in the world can
you convince a group of people, especially medical doctors, who had been taught
about viruses and disease, They'd studied these things for all, you know,
and since they went to med school, maybe even before that, And to
convince folks that knew otherwise that this new disease at the time. This new
virus, this coronavirus that caused COVID nineteen, basically violated everything that we knew
about science, everything we knew trans how easily it was to transmit the disease,
hurt immunity. We needed much more, many more people to get it
than than before than what we were told initially. We were all these things
we were told about about COVID that flew directly in the face of science,
and how quickly people were willing to abandon everything. Intelligent, educated people,
in some cases abandon everything to follow what some bureaucrat in our federal government or
in our state governments were telling us. It's preposterous and it's scary. I
think they took note of this. I think they realized they took notes.
This is how easy it is to convince thirty percent of the American people to
do anything. If we just have someone with some credential that says they're from
the government and they're here to help, people will believe anything. And that's
what happened during COVID. More to say on this quick time out is in
order, though my friends sit tight back in just a minute. Come back.
My friends just going through going through and doing a little bit of inventory
on what happened during the COVID crisis, how wrong the bureaucrats, how wrong
doctor Fauci was, folks, I jokingly on here sometimes will say things just
a little bit for dramatic effect, a little bit because I know it fires
up the people on the left when they just don't understand people like me or
like us. And sometimes I'll say, you know, we need we need
a you know, we sorry, there was a actually the phone rang in
my ear there that we you know, to you know, I'll say,
to write with adoration and praise. I hope you know that I'm teasing about
that. I mean, I'm I don't want you to be hateful to me.
You can. I just don't read it if it gets that way.
But you know, a little bit of things for fun and dramatic effect.
And also it's like holding a mirror up to the left. The left really
thinks these things there were left really thinks. I'm telling you, they think
they're smarter than you. They think they're smarter than me. They really do.
The arrogance and condescension. You could cut it, cut it with the
knife. I mean, it is it is palpable. But I really mean
this. I'm a guy with the microphone, and I was more right on
COVID than doctor Fauci. And I don't mean that in some arrogant I don't
think anything that we concluded here was anything that was outside of just what I
would call common sense and independent thinking. And many of you would say the
same thing, right, I mean, I'm not just I'm not saying I
might say it at some point. I might at some point say I was
the you know, the only person who could see through the nonsense. But
that's again for fun and dramatic effect. But the truth is, we all,
many of us saw this, and this was not hard. And man,
if we could only get people to me this is you know, you
got all these things vying for our attention right now. This is where this
is one of the most important things to me. Now, lean in as
I'm telling you this. If we could get more people to realize that the
people in authority do not know anything. I'm telling you, they don't and
that may be terrifying for other reasons. Maybe they know some things, right,
I mean, we have people, I know, there's people in the
military who know their stuff, right, I know that, But when we've
got these people who were called before Congress. Remember we had a Supreme Court
candidate who's now a Supreme Court justice who couldn't define, who couldn't tell Congress
or the Senate. I guess what a woman was because she wasn't a biologist.
See, the truth is, the truth is a lot of these people
that go to school to be taught by these radical leftists running our university,
who now have the credentials, are telling us right. These are the people
who are telling us that sex has nothing to do biological, sex has nothing
to do with with your say, your DNA. These things are much more
complicated than that. No, no they're not. Actually it's actually it's actually
precisely the reason. But see, people, I think sometimes people are afraid
people think that they're stupid. They think that someone who has a bunch of
initials after their name, PhD, NBA, whatever else is naturally smarter.
Folks, I want to tell you, and this is not Please don't misunderstand.
There are smart people in both groups. But if I had to list
out in my mind the smartest people that I knew, the percentage of them
that are not formally educated would I think, Sir Patt, I think a
higher percentage would be in that group. And again, it doesn't mean that
there's not smart people who are educated. Sometimes sometimes people go into to be
educated and they checked their own brain at the door and they say, I'm
just going to be programmed. Whatever they download to me to my brain,
that's what I'm gonna believe. And that is frightening, that is absolutely terrifying.
Don't do that. I remember in college. I've shared stories about when
I was a student at American University in Washington, d C. It was
really the first time in college I became vocal in the classroom. I was
the only vocal conservative Christian in our class of I don't know, maybe they're
twenty five of us roughly give or take something like that. And I remember,
I remember it was me versus the class many days, and I say
that it was me versus four to six students, and these were typically liberal
students, sometimes even left as students. I mean, we all got along,
but it would get intense and it would often be me versus the class.
And I loved it, by the way, I did. I loved
it. I absolutely loved it. But I remember one day walking to lunch
after class with a friend named Chris, and we were just talking about something
that inevitably just happened five minutes before in class, and Chris came up to
me and he's like, Todd, you know, you just have so much
common sense, and to which I said, well, Chris, then why
aren't you standing up and agreeing with me more often? Which really was the
beginning of my understanding that a lot of people, you know, when you're
someone who just gets into the mix and starts saying what you believe, I
think sometimes it's easy to think that everybody does that, But that's not what
was happening. People didn't want to have to deal with the drama. They
didn't want to have to be, you know, run the risk of upsetting
people in the class. That wasn't my purpose. But if that was what
happened, by me sharing what I thought, I couldn't, it didn't matter
to me. And you know, it was a compliment for him to say
that, certainly, but it's also prerequisite. It's a prerequisite to deal with
education to not check your brain at the door. If they can't explain it
to me in ways that I understand, if they can't answer my questions.
The fault isn't with me, my friends. The faults are with the people
who are teaching the garbage and the nonsense and the driven. And I've got
to get folks. I enjoy this, I love this. Thank you for
being here with me today. But I've got to run. Stig
