Three senators and a quorum vote on December 23rd, 1913. Everybody else was gone for recess for Christmas. They were roasting chestnuts by the fire and having a nice cup of coffee and tea. Is that you? Did you just walk in here? Mama was in there cooking the turkey. Is that a little Wayne Paul? And they were all back pushing this thing through that gave a private group of central banks total control over the currency, over the interest rates, over all of it.

No, it takes us back to at least, like, January 1912. There were bills introduced that were very similar, and then there was a process of refinement and all that. December 22, 1913, the House voted on it. It was 298 yeas to 60 nays, with 76 not voting. But again, as we discussed... There were 34 announced pairs. So that accounts for 68 of the 76 people who didn't vote. They were paired up as one yay and one nay. We're going to vote no. You're going to vote yay. So let's all get out of here. So 298 to 60 is very close to what the vote would have been if everyone showed up. Right. Or at least is representative. Right. So that was on the 22nd. On the 23rd, it went to the Senate. Same bill. It was voted in. 43 yays, 25 nays, 27 not voting, with 13 announced pairs, which accounts for 26 of the 27 non-voters. Right. This idea that three people is utter bullshit.
