And basically it was written about and Teddy Roosevelt caught wind of it because it was very popular.

And he called it like bullshit basically.

And he said like he called up to the Sinclair crackpot.

And he said, I have an utter, I have utter contempt for him.

He's a, I'm doing the old timey voice.

This is also in black and white for anyone keeping track. I have an utter contempt for him. I'm doing the old-timey voice. This is also in black and white for anyone keeping track.

I have an out of contempt for him.

He is hysterical, unbalanced, and untruthful.

Three-fourths of the things he said were absolute falsehoods.

For some of the remainder, there was only a basis of truth.

Which I thought it was like a really weird accusation for

Teddy Roosevelt to make about a novel because he's like three-fourths of those things

aren't even true. And it's like, well, it's very exact. Three-fourths is like, why three-fourths?

It's weird that he would say three-fourths. It's also weird that he would say some of these

things aren't true because it's a novel. It's all not true. say three-fourths. It's also weird that he would say some of these things aren't true because it's a novel.

It's all not true.

Yeah.

Right.

But I guess he's saying like, you know, in the way that a novel is true and that its spirit is true.

He's like only three-fourths of those things are only one-fourth of those things is true.

Which is like, yeah weird um like half response to it uh not even you don't even have the guts to flat out deny it right so he assigns this labor

commissioner this guy charles p ne, and the social worker named James
