"To be completely honest, we were all in a state of shock."

"Because why?"

"Because it just -- One, I think the actual physical feasibility of doing it.

And then also, we all knew what that implicated and what that meant. That this was no longer a rally, that this was going to move to something else if he physically walked to the Capitol.

I don't know if you want to use the word insurrection, coup, whatever. We all knew that this would move from a normal, democratic, you know, public event into something else.

I was one of the over 1 million Americans involved with that conspiracy and nobody squealed.

6. Even The Soviet Union must have been in on it, or else they'd have spilled the beans on NASA.

I mean...

There used to be this big, giant, skeery, (some say Evil) Empire called the Soviet Union see. Maybe a couple others have heard of it. Whupped the Nazis, beat us to orbit, had a damn good hockey team, fantastic spies. USSR. CCCP. Not to be trifled with.

They versed us in the Cold War. And they versed us in the Space Race.

Now this Soviet Union, we was against them, and they was against us see. And the Soviets knew damn well iff'n we did or iff'n we didn't land men on the Moon.

One would think if it was all a fake then they would have ratted us out.

But what the Soviets actually did do is to give NASA sincere, loud, and heart felt congratulations for landing men on the Moon, and returning them safely to Earth.

Next time some loud-mouth dimwit starts hollering about the moon landing being fake, ask them how come the Soviets never told on us.

That shuts a lot of pie-holes.
