>> i think i should say, as i said about tupelo, the sort of basis of a book is that i kind of joined the super fans and that ended up hanging out about 170 hours in parking lots and with these guys here i was the sixth and in light in tupelo ad then from then on i was buddies with these people, with rick snowden who has been at more trump rallies than anyone else in history of the world. and i in pennsylvania is his 68th rally. use first in line or i think second in line with rick frazier was first, his 23rd rally. once i sort of joined these guys, they texted me and we say my placement line, i would save theirs. that's what i did. that's all this came about. i think, the thing is that people don't read the news. i mean, i don't know what -- it's hard to pin point chicken and egg, people live in this -- the sum total of my book is upside down world and people live in this, you know, in a bubble, and this upside down world through which everything is a conspiracy theory and then don't read the news and they say to you, if you say where do you get your news? they say they do their own
