He also said this, a well-informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny. If that's the case, we in trouble. What country is the Queen of England from originally? Um, I definitely don't know. No, give me give me your best guess. I guess a country. What is a country again? Give me a guess. This is embarrassing. Um, what is a country? What is a country? What is a country? Canada. Yes. Canada. Now, look, these are very entertaining kinds of things. You find some dummy and somebody says something stupid and you put it all together. I don't know how many people he talked to who already automatically knew who the Queen of England was, where she was from, but that anybody, any person with an IQ two points above plant life can't answer that question.

Now, this is kind of interesting because it could be answered a couple ways. One could say 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was done, or one could talk about when the Constitution was actually ratified, which would be 1787. But people aren't even coming close to this. I'm going to say B.C. I'm going to keep it at B.C. I'm going to keep it at B.C. So, the U.S. was founded before the common era.

I wouldn't say 50 because that's half. I wouldn't say that because that's half. He didn't ask what half was. He asked what was 15% of 100. So at least you wouldn't say 50. We appreciate that. We do.
