Cue: Theme music Narrator: “Welcome to another exciting episode to Those Who Don’t Know their History are Doomed to Repeat it. And here is your host with the most… Blink Stormangale. Blink: Thanks Johnny, we have an exciting show for you tonight folks. We have Adolph Hitler, Uncle Joe Stalin, and everybody’s favorite maniac Napoleon Bonaparte on our panel. Crowd boos Blink: Ok, let’s get right into it, the first question I have is for Uncle Joe, you know a little about border walls, what do you think about the plan to build a border wall with Mexico? Uncle Joe; Well Blink, the reason mine worked so well was because I had gotten rid of anyone opposing it 20 years earlier through purges or sending them to the gulag. When I told them to chill out they went to Siberia. Blink: Yeah I bet that cut down on complaints quite a bit. Adolph, your question is what do you think of “fake news?” Adolph: Good qvestion Blink. I zink I had a handle on dat vun. My man Goebbels handled all of the news und ve neffer haff problems. Reporters knew vat qvestions to ask beforehand, und if dey vent off script I sent them to der showers. Blink: Oy vey! Adolph: Vas is das? Blink: Oh nothing just a figure of speech. Nappy baby, how did you deal with protesters in your day? Napoleon: First I’d like to clear up something Blink. There has been a lot written about my small anatomy, and for the record I just want to say my hands are normal sized and they’re beautiful and work just as they should. Blink: I’m sure they do Nappy, now how did you handle protesters? Napoleon:  Let them eat cake, of course! Everyone knows an army runs on it’s stomach! Blink: But Nappy baby these protesters aren’t in the Army. Napoleon: That’s why I didn’t have protesters, they were all in my Army when we rolled into Russia. Uncle Joe: They didn’t stay long once they met Generals January and February. Napoleon: That’s absurd, we stayed as long as we wanted to, so’d this guy (Napoleon gestures to Hitler) Uncle Joe: We sent him packing faster than you. Adolph: Fake News!!! Vhere ist Goebbels? Blink: Settle down fellows, I have a question for the entire panel. What do you think of Donald Trump being compared to you guys? Uncle Joe? Uncle Joe: It’s an insult! He hasn’t had one political enemy put away for speaking out against him. Where are the purges? The gulags? Bah, he’s a hack. Blink: Adolph? Same question. Adolph: He’s an amateur. People claim he’s killed 200,000 with this virus, I could do that number in my sleep. Blink: Yeah I guess you’re the league leader in killing your enemies off. Nappy Baby, talk to me. Napoleon: I don’t get how you’re comparing this guy to us. He hasn’t invaded anybody, all his political enemies are still talking, and there’s a good chance he’ll be voted out in November, he’s just not in our league. Blink: Aaaghhh, but history is written by the winners, that’s why you’re all losers. But even losers walk away from here winners, Johnny tell’em what they won. Narrator: Well Blink each panelist will walk away with their very own version of Those Who Don’t Know their History are Doomed to Repeat it home game and of course, a years supply of Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco treat. Blink: Ok folks, that’ll do it for this episode be sure to join us next week for our special Georgie Porgie episode where my guests will be George III, George Armstrong Custer, and George S. Patton.
