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 everybody tom woods here it's episode 2745 of the Tom Wood Show. I got a two-parter for you today.

First part is just me talking. And the second part, I want to bring on a guest. And the first part,

I want to sit and think about what strategy has the best chance of working. I mean, here we are,

those of you who listen to this program or the sort of person who

for the revolution. But also he was asking what is to be done because the problem was, in effect,

what is to be done with these dumb workers who, if you leave them to their own devices,
