because we make decisions based on ridiculous thinking. But my point is this. What do we know about how well, let's say, a different leader would have been in the United States? Let's say if we picked the leader of Germany, the leader of New Zealand, pick anybody who you think did a good job on the coronavirus, and tell me that you know for sure if that other leader had just been born American and…
← Previous segment →t would be my guess. I think he's going to push hard on how that will destroy the country and we're all in trouble.
The Democrats are also doing a better job lying, as it turns out. They're telling people that they're going to lose their health care if Trump gets reelected, that you'll lose pre-existing conditions. There's no evidence that any of this is true, and there's evidence that it is false. But because the country is in such information poverty, you can make any claim on the left and it will never be fact-checked because they don't fact-check themselves. And the people watching the news from the left just will never see the other argument. So the Democrats can literally just say anything. Just anything. So they can push the fine people hoax, as you know. They can tell you that Trump's taking your health care, that he's going to cut Social Security. None of this is true. None of this is based on anything. But they can just say it. Just put it out there.
Now I'm not saying that the president isn't also making wild claims, but I think his wild claims get fact-checked. But they don't get fact-checked on the left. I would go for starvation as the fear that the Republicans can push.
So Joe Biden gave this speech at Gettysburg, the scene of the Gettysburg, I'm going to talk about Sweden in a little bit, I see your comment there. And I would say that I listened to a little bit of Biden's speech and I'd have to say high marks. I give it high marks. I would say that Biden, in terms of going to Gettysburg because it's a place famous for civil war, national unrest, so image-wise pretty good. Speech-wise pretty good. If I'm being objective, he did a solid job there. I would say just a really good job. And I thought the content of his speech was strong as well. But as Joel Pollak pointed out in his article in Breitbart, he was doing a unity speech in which he led off with the most divisive lie in American history, the fine people hoax. So he goes to give a speech on national reconciliation and he leads off with his own bad behavior, the worst thing that's happening in the country. And that's, I don't think that's an exaggeration. His lie about the fine people hoax is the alpha problem in the country, if not even more than coronavirus in my opinion. Because to the extent that people believe the fine people hoax, and apparently people on the left do, that makes everything that they do okay. It's the approval to be dangerous. It's the approval to be extreme because they think they're fighting something extreme which, as it turns out, just didn't happen. Doesn't exist.
But he can get away with that because again there will be no fact-checking of his false claims.
There's a big story of course which will only be shown in the right-leaning media. So maybe what would be normally the biggest story in the country will be nonexistent on CNN and MSNBC. It just won't exist. Now I've told you in the past that that's usually an indication of fake news. Fake news is usually when either only the left or only the right report it as even happening and the other one just doesn't act like it happened. That usually means it didn't happen. If both of them report it happened, it probably did. They might have a different spin on what it means, but if they both at least report it happened, it probably happened.
So right now we've got this story that only exists on the right and may only exist there and it may never be covered by the left. That the president has now ordered declassification of all of the Russia collusion stuff. Now I don't know what that means, but does it really mean it's all declassified? Really all of it? Because most of the stuff we've seen had redactions like crazy. Is he really getting rid of all the redactions? So first of all I don't believe it. It seems like too much of a claim. I feel like there have to be redactions somewhere. But that's not the big story.
The big story is that what's already released shows that John Brennan was aware and must have briefed, I think he briefed Obama. He must have been aware that Hillary Clinton had a scheme to distract from her own email problem by creating a fake scandal about Trump and Russia, which she did, and with the help of her helpers in the Department of Justice and the FBI or whatever, CIA, and with her helpers almost succeeded in overthrowing the country. Almost succeeded. And you know what? She's almost there again. We're at the brink of Hillary Clinton succeeding in the coup that she attempted in 2016.
Now when I say she's on the brink of succeeding, if you look at the polls it would suggest that the collective lies coming out of the left would have done their job and that those lies collectively might get Biden elected, which puts the Hillary-Obama crowd back in charge. We don't know exactly who, but it's starting to look like Hillary's coup attempt, which is now clearly documented in 2016, is actually going to work like right now. Because this election will be completely fraudulent because none of the information the voters have to vote on is real. All of our information is just made up, which is fake. Now of course the Russia collusion thing was fake news. That was an attempt to overthrow the country. This is just more of that. It's just more fake news. The fine people hoax being the prime example. It's just a whole bunch of fake news that collectively the left gets together and promotes that is so strong when you put it all together it might actually cost Trump the election. I'm still predicting he'll win, but at the moment that's what it looks like.
So that should be the biggest story in the world, right? Not just the biggest story in the country. It should be the biggest story in the world. Won't even be covered on CNN. Won't even be covered.
Now there's a race to the finish line that's really interesting because Brennan and maybe some others in the government might be in a whole lot of legal trouble, but only if Trump gets reelected. Because otherwise they can stall until Biden gets in office and then everybody's home free. So it looks like we have documented evidence of an actual coup in 2016. We have an actual coup that's in progress right now, a fake news coup. The fake news creates the coup basically. And the people that we know are involved are on a path, if things go the way the polls are indicating, they're on a path to completely get away with it. Not only get away with it, but it might be your next head of the CIA. Brennan could be that next head of the CIA. That's completely possible at this point. I can't think of a worse outcome, but we're certainly on the precipice of that being possible.
Let's see wha

t else we got going on here. The stimulus is off. And this is another example of how the fake news can overthrow a government. The accurate news would be like this. Nancy Pelosi put a bunch of things in the stimulus bill that anybody would have known would make it impossible for Republicans to pass it. Anybody would know that. So it's quite obvious that Nancy Pelosi knew that that bill was impossi…
