com forward slash support. There's a few ways you can support me there.

One there's a direct link to my website, two, there's

subscribe star, three, there's Patreon, four, there's substack, and now I've

introduced Gumb Road, because I know that a lot of our guys are on Gum Road, and they are against censorship.

So if you head over to Gum Road and you subscribe through there, you'll get the episodes early and ad free, and you'll get the episodes early and add free and you'll get an invite

into the telegram group. So I really appreciate all the support everyone's

giving me and I hope to expand the show even more than it already has. Thank you so much.

I want to welcome everyone back to part two of John C. Calhoun's disposition on government.

We ended yesterday talking about how he saw suffrage
