Get ready to take a flamethrower to the official narrative and learn what the elites don't want you to know.

You're listening to the Tom Woods Show.

Hey, everybody, it's Tom Woods. It's episode 2669 of the Tom Woods show. And we got our old friend

Aaron McIntyre here, who let me just say he has an extra virtue today. The extra virtue is,

at the very last minute I had somebody back out, and I thought who else could have this exact

conversation with me who won't, like, throw me away as a friend if I ask him at the very last minute. And all Aaron McIntyre of the Orrin McIntyre show, author of The Total State, the book I've been badgering you all to read, stepped up to the plate, and here he is. So welcome back. Thanks for at me.

But what I really want to say about it is not, I don't want to reconstruct what Pam Bondi said. And then this one's, I think most people have that story in their heads. It's more, there are a couple of different stories being told on the right,

and one of them is, this is going to go away. It's only our people who really care about this that much. This will dissipate and forget about it. And there are other people saying this

will not go away. This has taken a huge amount of the wind out of the sails, wind that they

needed for the midterms of this
