He doesn't like this.

And he just bear hugs him so that he can't leave.

And from that point on, Goebbels was totally committed.

At the end of this bear hug, after Hitler has brought him in, given him the tour, given him the private conversation, told him he believes in him and allowed him to speak.

Hitler gets up and confirms how much he loves Goebbels.

And Goebbels, who is notoriously emotional, reportedly starts weeping.

It means so much to him.

And from that point on, Goebbels was fanatically devoted, arguably more so than anyone else in the inner circle, and would eventually serve as the Reich Minister of Propaganda and was very important to Hitler's operations from then on.

Now, the 25-point plan, why was that so important?

It's deliberately kept vague.

It's never updated, even as the National Socialist ideology kind of moves in different directions.

But it's just sort of the importance of a founding document.

You can think of the United States Constitution.

Do we have a constitutional government?

Well, I can tell you that if you brought George Washington, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton into 2026, and you showed them the operations of our government, and you said, is this what you guys set up?

They would go, no.

Like, this is completely unrecognizable to us.

Only in like a few years.

few sort of ceremonials and pretenses is our government any way related to the Constitution of the United States, right?

We have a completely unconstitutional government in the US.
