On this episode I give insight on the very fact that Americans are not aware of the rules of play within their own country. I destroy the adage that the system is rigged by detailing that the system isn’t rigged, people are simply unaware of how to use the system to their advantage. I also bring up some news stories that should have Americans outraged at how incompetent and disrespectful government is towards them.
