tonight on a special holiday edition of "the reidout" -- >> the next trump administration, if there is one, will be more extreme and have fewer guardrails than anything we saw in the first trump administration. >> donald trump is not hiding his iron fisted authoritarian plans, believe him. my conversation with abc news correspondent jonathan karl on his very revealing new book. also tonight -- >> as one source said to me, his arrogance destroyed him. tucker's arrogance destroyed him. one producer on the show said to me, we were burning too bright. we knew it wasn't going to last, and it didn't. >> brian stelter joins me on his book about fox, network of lies. if you think the worst was over when tucker was fired, think again. >> plus -- >> hitler thought that lynching, what he called popular justice in the united states, was another important thing for the nazis to study in terms of how these things can be -- look good

on paper but still work out in practice the way they wanted them to. >> my conversation with my friend and colleague rachel maddow on her fascinating new book, prequel, an american fight against fascism. also tonight -- >> picked up my phone and my daughter was video calling me at that moment. soon as i picked up my phone. so i said, let me get myself together. wipe my eyes, and the grime, the pepper spray remnants were on my coat. i wiped the pepper spray in my eyes. and it smeared it, it was so painful. >> officer harry dunn recounts the horror of january 6th. he joins me to talk about why accountability is so critically important for those responsible for the insurrection. welcome to a special holiday edition of "the reidout." we know that readers love to read, so we're bringing you some of my recent interviews with the authors of compelling new books beginning with abc news chief

washington correspondent jonathan karl. in his book, tired of winning, karl lays out in disturbing detail elements about trump's presidency with interesting new insights into the last few months in office. and how that period tells us so much about what we should expect from trump if he returns to the white house. in the book, we learn how disconnected from reality trump is, and how he is constantly looking for affirmation, allegiance, and vegance. one particular character plays a key role in enabling trump's worst instincts. john mcintee, who karl describes as trump's essential man, in that role, mcintee forged a presidential directive about the withdrawal from afghanistan, with zero oversight. mcintee, who has no legal expertise, also found justification for vice president pence to reject the 2022 election results via a half-hour google search, and delivered it to trump even though he knew it

was apples to oranges. he was also tasked with removing all so-called infidels from the trump white house, and would lead the charge in a second trump administration because he's been tasked with a lead role in the trump project 2025. the book also tells us just how far trump is willing to go to win. at one point during the 2022 election, he urged georgia senate candidate herschel walker to falsely accuse his opponent, raphael warnock, of pedophilia. most telling, though, is this quote karl got from a high level individual who served in the white house who has not publicly commented on the president. he told karl trump lacks any shred of human decency, humility or caring. he's morally bankrupt, breathtakingly dishonest, lethally incompetent and stunning ignorant of anything

related to governing, history, or world events. he's a traitor and a malignancy in our nation and represents a clear and present danger to our democracy and the rule of law. i began our conversation by asking karl to tul us more about trump's right-hand man, mcintee. >> he is somebody who was there at the very beginning of the trump campaign in 2016. in fact, way back the very first book i wrote, front row at the trump show, i talked about walking into an empty trump campaign headquarters in trump tower because they only had a handful of people working there, and the first person i met was john mcintee, who very earnest, young, he had just left a job on the desk at fox news. and so he was there at the inception. and he was a former quarterback at the university of connecticut and somebody trump liked for a lot of reasons, i think partly because he looked the part. good looking young guy, a little taller than most of the other staffers. by the end of the trump presidency, he was actually

appointed to the head of presidential personnel, barely 30 years old. he was in charge with the hiring and firing and vetting of all political appointees throughout the executive branch. and he used that position to root out trump appointees, republicans, people working for trump who were deemed insufficiently loyal. well, now john mcintee is working for project 2025 out of the heritage foundation, which is there to set up the next trump administration. and first and foremost, it's about finding people that will be completely and totally loyal to donald trump. and you know, i think this is a very important thing to understand that the next trump administration, if there is one, will be more extreme and have fewer guardrails than anything we saw in the first trump administration. >> and what did you learn about what it is they want to do? because there's some of the

things you report that are truly disturbing. i mean, donald trump not taking it negatively when it seemed that angela merkel, the former chancellor of germany, who really apparently despises him, i think we can see that, that he tried to convince himself or others that she really liked him and took as a compliment her comparison of him to hitler. what is it they want to do? >> that's a remarkable scene where trump to a very senior republican ally of trump is describing how, you know, merkel, she's told me, she says your crowds, your crowds are so incredible. there's only one person in all of history that's gotten crowds like yours. only one. and it's the chancellor of germany. we know exactly who he's talking about. it's retribution, plain and simple. donald trump himself has said the same. joy, i know you have focused on this, on your show, but i think there's been far too little focus into what donald trump is saying as a presidential

candidate right now in his own words about what he wants to do. it is about retribution. he says, point blank, i am your retribution. if you come after me, he says, i'm coming after you. he's talked about using the powers of the presidency, if he has an opportunity do it again, to go after his enemies. and by the way, he's not just talking about his political enemies. in the democratic party. he's talking about republicans who have been insufficiently faithful and loyal to him. he's talking about republicans who have dared to stand up to him on things as basic as whether or not the 2020 election was a legitimate election. >> you write about, the reason i ask this, you have covered donald trump a long time. talk about his mental state. you write about the fact that mike pompeo, steve mnuchin, betsy devos, at some point

discussed the 25th amendment. that mitch mcconnell spearheaded a move to ban trump from the inauguration. he threatened to run as an independent third party candidate and had to be threatened by the rnc not to do it. the 25th amendment piece stands out to me. as your reporting would suggest, is donald trump fully there mentally? >> well, i can't really make that judgment, but what i can tell you is people who have raised questions about whether or not he's fully there mentally have been the people closest to him. the people who have raised the alarms about what it could be if he comes back are the people closest to him. and yes, in those hours after the january 6th attack, as they watched what he did and what he didn't do, while the united states capitol was under assault by his own supporters, it was the people that were closest to him that were talking about whether or not they needed to remove him from office because he was mentally unstable, mentally unable to carry out the

duties of the president. that's pompeo and mnuchin. they have both denied it. there is sworn testimony acknowledging those conversations did happen. they didn't go varfar, didn't have time to go very far. frankly, as you started to have people resign from the cabinet, there were fewer people that would have voted for it. they were talking about it. it's not just those 25th amendment conversations. you read that statement from an anonymous staffer. it's a very important statement. this was something that was given to me by the person who wrote it, he wrote it right after all the details came out about the classified documents. this is a very senior official who spent day in and day out with donald trump for over a year in the west wing. i can't get any further details to who it was, but there was a lot of attention about anonymous, and we later learned it was yles taylor. this is somebody who is more senior and spent a lot more time around donald trump who said those words about him because he

saw first-hand how he had operated and was conveying this to me, didn't want to go public, worried about the retribution we just talked about. this the not somebody out there publicly taking on the president, worried about retribution against their family, but deeply concerned about what a second trump white house would look like. >> jonathan, you know, the subtitle of your book is donald trump and the end of the grand old party, which suggests there's more to this than donald trump, whether he's noncorpas mentis or not or wants to use a presidency for personal retribution, but also the people around him who would enable him. is there a republican party left that would stop him if he attempted to turn our government into something that looks more like putin or viktor orban? is there anyone left in the party willing to try to stop him? >> i spent a fair amount of time talking about republicans who did try to rein him in. and did try to stand up for basic norms of american

democracy, and the constitution. some of the names are obvious, people like mitt romney and liz cheney. there are people if you go early into his presidency, like senator flake, senator corker. there are others in the house that are less well known, people within his own administration. even some of the most hard core trump supporters and people like bill barr, who stood up to him at the end when it came to standing up for the integrity of our election system. so there are republicans who have stood up to him, the issue is every name i mentioned to you is essentially gone from the scene. the members of congress who voted to impeach him, by the next congress y believe we're going to see one of them left, just one. and the senators that voted to convict him in the trial are largely gone. lisa murkowski is still around, but they're largely gone. mitt romney announced he's not

running. i think it's a real question. >> this is the book, called tired of winning, donald trump and the end of the grand old party. the book is out today. it's scary stuff, but jonathan, thank you for doing this excellent and very necessary reporting. much appreciated. >> thank you, joy. up next on "the reidout," an explosive new book takes us inside fox's network of lies. exposing the dark heart of deception that drives their propaganda. author brian stelter joins me next. next and is crushed by a baby grand piano. are you replacing me? with this guy? customize and save with liberty bibberty. he doesn't even have a mustache! oh, look! a bibu.

. if the thought of donald trump returning to the white house isn't terrifying enough, trump recently poured out more nightmare fuel when asked about his potential picks for vice president. >> would you consider tucker though? based on -- >> i like tucker a lot. i guess i would. i think i say i would because he's got great common sense. >> that would be former fox host tucker carlson, whose common sense from his days bloviating at fox sounded like this. >> our leaders demand you shut up and accept this. we have a moral obligation to admit the world's poor, they tell us, even if it makes our own country poorer and dirtier and more divided. >> white supremacy, that's the problem. that's a hoax. a conspiracy theory used to divide the country. >> the left becomes unhinged when you point out voters are

being replaced by loyalists from other countries. >> what is this really about? why do i hate putin so much? has putin ever called me a racist? has he threatened to get me fired for disagreeing with him? >> a trump/carlson ticket might be awkward since we learned this year in 2021, tucker was texting about how he hated him passionately. we know that little insight into tucker's feelings from private texts revealed during pretrial discovery in dominion voting system's massive defamation lawsuit against fox. thethetwork settled that suit in april to the tune of $787.5 million. carlson was unceremoniously canned by fox less than a week later without much explanation from tucker or fox. a new book from journalist brian stelter digs into the circumstances of carlson's firing and much more about fox, including the network's role in radicalizing its viewers, promoting the big lie, january

6th, and new insights about donald trump's indictments for efforts to overthrow the 2020 election, just to start. in network of lies, stelter writes, with or without carlson, fox is the black widow at the center of the web of lies that perverts american politics. i spoke to brian stelter and asked him why tucker carlson was fired from fox, was it the racism, his gross behavior to others, or something else. >> a list of 10 or 20 reasons he was eventually canned. i devote many chapters of the book because it's a mystery, and tucker has been promoting conspiracy theories why he was fired, blaming dominion for it. i think the reality is this was a bad breakup, like a relationship that goes sour when one side has 20 reasons to dump the other side and the other side doesn't see it coming. this was building for a long time. lachlan and rupert murdoch decided it wasn't worth it

anymore. someone described to me, tucker's arrogance destroyed him. one producer said we were burning too light, we knew it wasn't going to last. and it didn't. >> talk about the insight you get into about how they think about why they wanted to put people like sidney powell on, why they wanted to put on the january 6th stuff and this outrageous lies they they wound up getting sued for. >> wanting to believe the lies, wanting to give hope, in this case, false hope to millions of viewers. it was driven largely by profits and ratings. a desire to keep the audience hooked at all costs. there's examples in the dominion filings, i had to write this book because there was so many details in there. the examples of the producers and hosts obsessed over the minute by minute ratings. when we talk about voting fraud, the ratings tick up. i was at cnn nearly a decade. i didn't study the minute by minute ratings to figure out which of the guests were the best, that is next level

engineering to keep the audience addicted. and ultimately, thet is what drove so many of these falsehoods. >> you talk about the black widow at the heart of our democracy. lachlan murdoch versus rupert murdoch, is there any difference, any directional change? >> rupert is much more of a newspaper man. he believes he's a journalist at heart, and he detests donald trump. as a murdoch family friend said to me, he can't believe we're going to end up with trump as the nominee again. then again, he doesn't seem to be doing much to stop it. lachlan cares a lot less about politics. i'm told he's personally not a fan of trump. he holds his nose like a lot of republican establishment party types but he's not doing anything to stop the trump train. he cares about campaign ad spending than he cares about polling and things like that. so ultimately, you're not going to see lachlan or rupert do anything really to stop this coronation of trump, even though, by the way, trump complains about fox all the time. he says fox is out to get him,

but that couldn't be further from the truth. >> let me play a montage about the way fox sounds now post tucker. >> what does that leave you with? it leaves you with you need to make war to bring peace, because you have a side that cannot change because then that means an admission their beliefs have been corrupt all the time. so in a way, you have to force them to surrender. >> or we could make love not war. >> i tried that once. >> or we have an election. >> i had to go to a doctor. >> elections don't work. we know that. we know they don't work. >> i want to say something about arab americans and about the muslim world. we, i mean the west and western technology, have created the middle east. we made them rich. we got that oil out of the ground. our military protects all of these oil shipments, flying around the world, making them rich. we fund their military. we respect their kings. we kill their terrorists.

okay. but we have had it. we have had it with them. >> so that's first greg gutfeld and then jesse waters. what did you learn in doing the research for this book? is it a bottom up thing? is this the audience craves this and so fox serves it, or are they engineering this kind of sort of necrophilic attitude toward american culture and divisiveness? are they engineering it or taking in what their audience wants? >> in the roger ailes era, it was top down. now, as you said, it is bottom up. it's driven by the audience. the audience is charge which is a scary prospect sometimes. i love our viewers, i agree with your banter. jesse waters has taken over as the fox primetime extremist. they think they're, quote, respecting the audience. that's the quote that comes up time and time again. they think they're respecting the audience by giving the audience what they want, but that's disrespectful and it hurt the gop. look at what happened to the

off-year elections on tuesday. fox is sometimes hurting the republican party that it thinks it's helping. that's an interesting dynamic going into 2024. >> the book, network of lies, the epic story of fox news. we love looks so we're going to sell it and hold it up here. please, everyone, read it. brian stelter, you're one of the best out there doing the thing. up next, rachel maddow joins me on her fascinating new book, prequel, which traces the fight to preserve democracy back to world war ii. stay with us. ♪♪ we come from a long line of cowboys. ♪♪ when i see all of us out here on this ranch,

. we're going to make america great again. >> we're going to take back our culture, and we're going to make america great again. >> next november, we're going to make america great again. >> we have heard it a million times. donald trump's signature slogan, make america great again. and i always wondered when the again is. because whether he knows it or not, the trump era sure looks a lot like the 1930s or '40s. a period marked by world war, the great depression, and a fair amount of political demagoguery. we're often told america came together in that era, was united against fascism, and swooped in right away to join forces with the good guys to help stop the nazis and save the day. except that's not exactly how it

went down. in her new book, prequel, an american fight against fascism, rachel maddow details the story of what really happened and how the u.s. actually faced its own home-grown threat to overthrow democracy and install a tler-like dictatorship. shewrites, the great american fight against fascism that we have inherited as a cornerstone in our country's moral foundation is a fight that didn't happen only overseas in the 1940s. americans fought on both sides of that divide here at home, too, and their stories will curl your hair. i asked rachel about that decades-long fight. >> democracy is the end, the thing we're trying to preserve, but it's also the means by which we obtain political outcomes in this country. if you're standing up for democracy, that means you have to want to do everything by democratic means. you have to triple down on it. one of the good news stories about what happened in the '40s is that these guys in congress,

in the senate, who were hooked up with this nazi operation in the united states that were using the congressional offices with a nazi agent to propagandize the american people, they got caught for it. and we have to reckon with the fact that they never got put on trial for it, but they did get exposed for what they had done. the legal prosecution of people who were involved in that effort to allegedly overthrow the government, the activism, the journalism of that time that regular americans who got involved in trying to stop them, they exposed it. when voters had a choice about what to do, they kicked them out. so after they lost their jobs in congress and their jobs in the senate, they became losers. and we forgot about them. even though they had been among the most powerful people in congress. they had been household names, some of them. so a gerald nye was going to be presidential timber at some point. we don't remember him at all, because he lost his seat in

disgrace because of his ties to this plot. >> there's another thing that i think people understand naziism as a foreign thing. and they often forget the american components of it. there's a fascinating piece of your book. i'm going to read you to you. hinrich krieger was sent to the american south to take notes for the furor. he was quick to see how the united states could provide a sort of conceptual prototype for new german law. jim crow laws were one of the many wulworts in american law constructed for the protection of white people from the, quote, lower races. he was able to conduct a comprehensive study of more than 30 states whose laws and courts forced black americans into second clascitizenship. the nazis learned from us. >> they sent a lawyer to the university of arkansas law school, and he did a survey of american race law, because the nazis were absolutely enamored of this idea that you can have a large minority or set of

minorities in this country, and a constitution that says everybody is equal, but those minorities, those disfavored minorities, don't get equal citizenship rights. so how can you -- they wanted to know, how can the united states be looked on as a beacon around the world that's not seen as a rogue state or some human rights offender, who do not have the benefits of citizenship. they love that idea. and they used hinrich krieger's research to infoyer the nuremberg laws which stripped jewish germans of their citizenship. hitler thought that lynching, what he called popular justice in the united states, was another important thing for the nazis to study in terms of how these things can be -- look good on paper but still work out in practice the way they wanted them to. they studied us. >> it's terrifying to think how much of the ideas that we know are loathsome that were happening in germany originated

here. you talk about everything from book bans, things we're seeing now, book bans, saying there's dirty things in the books. we have to root out the wickedness in the books corrupting the minds of children. that happened then, as now. politicians using their power in order to foment a revolution against the government. the idea of overthrowing roosevelt, the idea of -- it's all -- it all happened before. >> political pressure on the justice department to stop investigations and prosecutions of people involved in that kind of violence. yes, i mean, there's -- i mean, one of these dixiecrat anti-semite pro-fascist members of congress, a senator from north carolina, wanted to build a wall to keep out jewish refugees. he said we're going to build a wall that nobody can scale. >> thank you, rachel maddow, author of prequel, an american fight against fascism. coming up, harry dunn joins me to discuss the chaos on capitol hill and his new book, which recounts his work as a

capitol police officer and details the traumatic day of january 6th, 2021.

hi, i'm tali and i lost 85 pounds on golo. (upbeat music) i started golo because i was unhealthy due to my weight. the minute i started taking the golo release, i knew it was working. i was not hungry, and i did not have any cravings. since losing weight with golo, i'm healthier now than i've ever been, and my doctor is thrilled. golo is so much more than weight loss, it's gonna give you your life back. hey, you should try new robitussin honey medi-soothers

with all that is going on in the world, the january 6th insurrection feels like a lifetime ago. but to those who were there, to those who witnessed it, the trauma is always present. it was one of the darkest days in modern american history, with thousands of trump supporters laying siege to the capitol, and assaulting law enforcement

officers. for officer harry dunn, the experience was a painful gut punch. >> until then, i had never seen anyone physically assault capitol police or mpd, let alone witness mass assaults being perpetrated on law enforcement officers. one woman in a pink maga shirt yelled, you hear that, guys? this [ bleep ] voted for joe biden. and the crowd, perhaps around 20 people, joined in screaming, boo [ bleep ]. no one had ever, ever called me a [ bleep ] while wearing the uniform of a capitol police officer. >> that was a direct result of donald trump and the republican party rejecting the results of the 2020 election. today, the new speaker of the house, mike johnson, embodies that ethos. johnson was the most important architect of the electoral college objections and helped

corral republican votes against certifying the elections in multiple swing states. not his own. in today's republican party, election denialism is a badge of honor and not a mark of shame. in fact, it's now a requirement and a central tenant of republicanism. their denialism is also a daily insult to people like officer dunn. in his new book, standing my ground, a capitol hill officer's fight for accountability and good trouble, he writes, i speak out notecause i want something for me, but because i want accountability. i want the people responsible for that day, including trump and anybody else who conspired to breach the capitol and tie to halt our democracy, to pay a price. just like we paid a price. i recently spoke to harry dunn. i began by asking him about house republicans choosing one of the top election deniers, mike johnson, as speaker.

>> one thing i have to point out, the we in the book, i don't want people to think that's necessarily the capitol police officers. we meaning american citizens. i write this book as an american citizen. that's where my viewpoint is coming from. i care for this country, i care about the way it functions. i want it to work well for all of us. that's the we i talk about. as far as the new speaker, i don't really have an opinion about it. one of the reasons i did write the book is to give a factual representation, account of what happened that day. i want the voters to be educated, the voters are the people who hold the representatives accountable, not me. my job is to protect those members that the american people send. so while i can have an opinion, i want their opinion to be an educated one and to be reflected at the ballot box because those american people are the people that hold the elected officials accountable. >> i will note that he did not deny his own election. he validated that particular election.

you describe in your book getting on a video call with your daughter after the insurrection and talk about that a little bit. >> you know, we had a moment, there was a little i'll call it a lull in activity, and talking with a group of other officers. i said, hey, y'all, call, text your loved ones. i'm sure everybody is worried about us. send them a message, i'm okay, and i wasn't to grab my phone. i realized i didn't have it with me. when i retraced my steps, i went up to grab it. i was emotional, i was crying, throughout the day, and i wanted to get myself together. picked up my phone. and my daughter was video calling me at that moment, as soon as i picked up my phone. so i was like, let me get myself together. i wiped my eyes and the grime, the pepper spray remnants were on my coat. i wrieped the pepper spray in my eyes. it smeared it, and it was so painful. and i didn't want to scare her,

so i'm holding it together, like dad voice, hi, baby. my eyes open. she's going on telling me about her day. you know, on the inside, i'm like, i have to go, this is killing me. i said, tell your mother i'm okay. i got off the phone. i let out a scream or a yell, just tried to get my eyes together. it was even in the middle of an insurrection, you're not too busy to be a dad. >> absolutely. some of the experiences you describe in the book, i mean, these insurrectionists ripping up a picture of john lewis. your testimony about having the n-word hurled at you, something that first of all, you're not a little dude. so they took a lot of chances messing with you. but they were bold enough to feel like they could call you the n-word, rip up pictures of john lewis. talk about how, like, how did you control yourself? we know that i have covered a lot of issues with police and the question is how do you control your emotions in that moment? >> so, one, i work with an incredible group of men and

women. and they showed the absolute most professionalism. >> indeed. >> it speaks to the caliber of the men and women i work with. individually, just do what i think is right. i don't really know how i was able to keep my composure, i guess. you know, when all else fails and everything hits the wall, you rely on your straining. you rely on your instincts. i guess i attribute the way i respond to the way i was raised, my temperament. i was furious and screaming and yelling at individuals. i wasn't officer friendly that day, but it was about making it home to my loved ones while maintaining keeping the members of congress and everybody inside that building safe. >> is it hard for you to do this job knowing that some of the people that you're protecting were a part of it or at least agreed with what happened that day? >> you know, i had to reshape my whole narrative.

what are we doing? like, what do we do? the public service element of it, i have to look at what did that seat represent, the seat that a member of a congress, though i may disagree with, what does that seat represent? it represents the american people, itrupts democracy, and no matter who occupies that seat, i have to realize that seat existed hundreds of years before that person existed, and by us continuing to do our job, it will exist hundreds of years after they no longer exist. so we may not enjoy or agree with the individual who occupies that seat at the moment, but future generations count on us to maintain it. that's why defending democracy is so important. so it's difficult, but kind of like bigger picture kind of thinking. >> yeah, absolutely. officer harry dunn, you are a hero, and all of the people who were with you on that day and taking those beatings are heroic. i hope you know that and you take that in because it is true.

thank you, my friend. >> thank you. >> always good to talk to you. author of standing my ground, harry dunn. tonight, you have heard from the authors of several great books and now i'm really excited to tell you about my own book, which comes out after the holidays. by way of background, just after new year's day in 1963, james baldwin arrived in mississippi, as he embarked on a lecture tour through the american south for the congress on racial equality. the tour was launched in response to the violent riots that accompanied integration of the university of mississippi month before. meredith's push to enterrole miss had been backed by medgar evers who had himself been rejected pie the college simply because he was black. baldwin didn't just dine with medgar and myrlie evers at their home in jackson's lone one-block black middle class subdivision. he also rode with medgar into the delta, where medgar spent long days investigating the everyday indignities and vicious

crimes perpetrated against black mississippians. as the planter class fought to keep them tied to the cotton plantations where black families had been trapped during slavery. baldwin saw with his own eyes the fear and terror in those men, women, and children, some of whom medgar had to smuggle out of mississippi to escape the threat of lynchings, financial and sexual abuse. decades later, he recalled medgar as a great man, a beautiful man, and a troublemaker in the way baldwin respected. recalling that as he sped through the delta at top speed in his blue oldsmobile designed to help him outrun the klan, he possessed the calm of someone who knows they're going to die before their time. medgar evers did die before his time. he was shot dead by a white supremacist in his own driveway at just 37 years old that june. as myrlie and their children paid agonizing witness. before that awful moment in the

wee hours after president john f. kennedy publicly committed to introducing a civil rights act medgar had fought for, medgar and myrlie lived a love story for the ages. they met in college, when he was a 25-year-old world war ii veteran, and she was a naive 17-year-old freshman, a singer with a knack for the piano who performed with a segregated girls group. it became a reluctant civil rights partnership. when medgar was assassinated, it launched myrlie on a decades-long quest for justice and a civil rights legacy of her own. this is and i am very excited to share with my readout fandom, because i love history, and i think it needs to be shared. if you want to check it out,
