You just have so many sources.
You look here, there.
The information is out there in galaxy-level amounts.
So that becomes the most difficult problem, and you have to apply the law of significance.
How many people does this affect over how much time?
That's what makes it significant.
Walk me back.
Let's go back to the โ because the Patriots' history โ when I was in Danbury, I was teaching civics.
And, you know, they have a library there.
It's actually a pretty good library.
Most of the books are, in fact, all the books are by prisoners or prisoners' families.
But they've got, it's a pretty, you know, I'm a voracious reader, and it's a really great library.
So when I was tapped to be a lecturer there or teacher of civics,
One of the first things I did is go to the library, and they didn't have a copy of the Patriot's History, so I think I ordered three.
I kept one for myself, and I put two into the library right away, of which people just devoured.
But I needed the book because you give such good overviews.
So as I was getting into details about the Constitution, the Declaration, and the structure of the government, and
uh issue these things that most of the prisoners had never really been taught or never had access to because they were quick learners and i will tell you larry they were absolutely fascinated by it i could tell right then that the education system in this country has failed so much because most of the prisoners and most of the prisoners that took my course were african-american or hispanic and uh they had they had a real thirst they had a thirst they want to understand the system um
As you and Alan โ and I started thinking about the book a lot because I've read Patriot's History a couple of times when it first came out and then another time before I got into the Trump campaign.
It just happened getting caught up to speed.
