edia Matters. And allegedly they have some screenshots to suggest that Media Matters made up the story and that they did not have examples of bad content put next to advertising. And that the examples they found were so trivial compared to the total traffic on X that if you look at the data it actually proves that X is better than the rest in getting rid of that stuff. In other words it's not just…
← Previous segment →ers. Yep. I think that's getting interesting. And whatever Musk does to Media Matters and probably Soros by extension is going to get really interesting. It's going to get really interesting.
All right. So according to Musk, who agreed with a post that said this, there were 50 impressions on X served against the content in the article. In other words bad stuff that was on X paired with somebody's advertisement. There were 50 impressions of that and 5.5 billion served the whole day. Which is more of a proof that it's not happening than a proof that it is. So Media Matters is an opposite reality kind of entity, as many of them are.
This was interesting. On Bill Maher's show, Donna Brazile was there and she kept mispronouncing Vivek's name as VC I think and mangled his last name. And she actually said he needs to go home. Vivek. He needs to go home. His home is America. Donna. He lives in America. He's an American. Go home. Now of course if this story were reversed, what would everybody be saying? If Trump had said that a person of color needs to go home? Oh we don't have to wonder because that's exactly what he did once and they said he's a racist for assuming that. Wasn't it Ilhan Omar that acted like she should go home to some other country or something? Well it sounds a lot like that. But of course it won't play that way.
And but here's what Bill Maher said after Donna kept saying Vivek's name wrong. So Bill Maher is just sort of becoming a delight, you know. So here's what he said to Donna, quote, I just feel there's something wrong and everybody's refusing to say his name. I think there's a little racism there. And then he says, Bill says, I know we don't like him but just say his name right. Thank you Bill Maher. Thank you. That is the first time I've seen somebody who is a Democrat speak honestly to what we're observing about how Vivek is being treated. Absolutely from the start I've said really no Democrat can pronounce his name right. It's not like some big freaking mystery. He's in the news all the time. He tells you it rhymes with cake. It took me a while to get it too, you know. I'll give you that. It takes you a while to tune into it. But if it's your job to talk about the major candidates, maybe put a little effort into it, huh? Bill Maher's totally right. Now I don't think that makes everybody involved a racist, but this would be called out if it happened the other way. It would be called out exactly like Bill Maher called it out. And I agree with him totally. It rings of racism. Which doesn't mean that the people who are doing it are racists. Like I'll make that distinction that they wouldn't make, right? That's a distinction the other side won't make for me, but I'll make that distinction. You could be doing things that are insensitively sounding racist, but that doesn't really mean that's what's in your soul. You know it may have nothing to do with that. She lives her life. By the way I like Donna Brazile. She's a very likable person. So you know I'm not going to call her a racist. I'm going to say that the way she talks about it would be talked about as racist if it came the other way.
All right, here's my theme now, pulling it all together. Would you agree that the left, Democrats, have an architecture of deceit? An architecture of deceit. Now we've seen all the elements of it come into view. So you have first of all Trump called out the fake news. Does the public understand now that the news is often fake? Yes they do. Yeah, it used to be before Trump, I actually thought there was one side of the news. I actually thought this was my own opinion. I thought the left-leaning news, the CNNs, were usually right. But you know nobody's right all the time, but usually right. And I thought that Fox News was kind of the crazy network with they'd go a little too far on the right. That's what I thought before I was involved in even paying attention to any politics. But with Trump and with paying more attention it became obvious that none of the networks are right all the time. But the left is really just making it up, right? Fox News is going to have hitty moments as well. I'm not defending anybody. But there is a difference. The left seems to be an organized attempt to fool the public. And it appears that the news and the Democrats are tightly connected. It's obvious that when CNN brings on their experts like Clapper and Brennan, once you understand all the players you understand that the intelligence community is pretty tight with the Democrats, is pretty tight with CNN and other entities in the news. And that they can push things like the Russia collusion hoax and the laptop doesn't belong to Hunter hoax. So the things that we know for sure is that there's a tight connection between in some cases FBI, other cases intelligence sources and Democrats and the news. So that's a structure, like an infrastructure.
On top of that we've learned lately, and Mike Benz has been a big helper here, we've learned that the Democrats have this architecture where they create these fake cutouts. And they may be CIA run or just Democrat run. But like Media Matters and the ADL and probably 25 other entities are fake fact checkers, fake watchdogs, and basically fake everything. And they're just there to make Republicans look bad and to support whatever Democrats say is true. Now we're watching the SPLC, etc. So we're watching. We're watching now. We're understanding the architecture.
Now here's where it's all falling apart. Once you understand it, now you can start to see it as a system. And systems are sensitive to failure in any part of the system, right? If it's a system, it's a complex system. You could imagine that if one part of it crumbles, that the structure falls down if it's the right part that crumbles. But look at all the parts that are crumbling right now.
RFK Jr., one of the most famous Democrats of all Democrats, you know the Kennedy family, says directly that he believes the CIA killed JFK. To me that's new. I mean we always suspected it, but this is coming from a prominent Democrat who is saying directly that the CIA is not on the side of America and they may have killed the president. And there's no reason to think that they're better today. That's the important part. Nothing has changed that would make you think they're better today. And this is coming from a very credible source, right? That's just one thing that's out there.
At the same time even the Bill Mahers of the Democrat world have seen that the intelligence people and the news did collude, Democrats, intelligence people and the news, for the Hunter laptop disinformation. So we know that that's just a matter of record now. We know that they also colluded on the Russia collusion. So now we see a pattern where the same entities keep repeating. The pattern is forming. It's intelligence fakes, intelligence people lying, Democrats lying, and the news lying. And it's all coordinated. Yes, that's exactly what it is.
The Democrats have a president whose job it is to hold everything together. You could imagine the president as being like the keystone. Is that what it's called? A keystone. The one at the top of an arch that makes the arch not fall apart. Yes, it's the keystone. So the president is kind of the keystone in this architecture. And he's failing. The keystone is now somewhat obviously a criminal in my opinion. It's now obvious that he's part of a criminal enterprise. Now if it isn't technically criminal, it's certainly the opposite of what you want your president to be involved in. So as a keystone he's falling apart. Not just physically but mentally, but also narrative-wise. Like he doesn't even have respect as an honest broker. So the person holding together the whole architecture is failing as fast as anything can fail right in front of us. And we can see that he was a criminal all along. It seems to me obvious that he's staying in office to keep his son and his family out of jail and himself. Does everybody agree there's no other reason for him to stay in office? He has nothing. By the measurement of his own standards he had a successful first term, right? And he'd always said he was always thought to be a placeholder president, just somebody to beat Trump. But he's no longer that person. He's no longer the beat Trump person. So if you were somebody who was a Democrat who put a lot of credibility in your president, the keystone of the entire architecture, even you can see that the keystone failed. The keystone showed that your side looks like criminal and that you're protecting criminals.
Now the fact that what was his name, the Menendez, who got indicted for having the same job that Biden used to have. And it turns out he was allegedly taking bribes. Menendez. Right, so Menendez. So once you see that Menendez had the same job that Biden had and it's the obvious best job to take bribes and it's exactly the type of stuff that you can see Biden was involved in. And then you watch the Comer committee meticulously day by day finding a bank account, finding a check, tying the entire allegations together into a tight little package. So that's happening. So that part of their architecture is falling apart.
We now have the X platform, which is the only place that the news has a chance of showing both sides. For the first time, and this did not exist in prior elections, just didn't exist, we have for the first time an entity that's a major platform that could tell you the truth. You might have to work at it but it's there. Yeah, because it shows both sides. That's never existed before. And Musk is going after Media Matters, the other big entity that's part of their fake architecture. Also a number of us including me are going after the ADL because the ADL has proven, and partly because of the Hamas situation it sort of brings it into focus, that the ADL has certainly done a bunch of good stuff in their history, defending Jewish Americans and Jewish people everywhere I assume from abuse of all kinds. So that's good. But now they've clearly become an anti-white person entity whether they want it to or not. And so their credibility is just garbage at this point. And their power should be diminishing. So that's part. So they and other parts of what I'll call the fake Democrat architecture, their story is falling apart. And Musk is a big part of that.
Also the January 6 narrative is falling apart. Now here I'm going to say this has more to do with impression than fact. I don't know that a lot of facts have changed, but our impression of the facts is definitely changing at least on the right. Because the new video that's being released is as misleading as all the other video being released. You know the initial video from the January 6 committee focused on all the violent stuff that was happening mostly outside the doorways. And they were truly violent and we should know about that. The new video being released shows the opposite narrative. You know the people being let in by the security guards, there's fist bumps. It looks and there's video of people saying that they're undercover agents. Like basically 100% supporting the Republican version of events. But just assume that those are out of context just like the other side is out of context. However just their very existence is making people think that they were lied to about January 6. Which of course they were. January 6 was an OP. That's all it was. It was obvious that our intelligence people, FBI, it's very obvious that everything from the courts to the Democrats to the news, it was just an OP. None of that was legitimate.
So now that's obvious. But of course it's only obvious to the right. Will the left come to understand that January 6 was always an OP? I doubt it. And I would watch Bill Maher to see if he changes because he's sort of the canary in the coal mine. If Bill Maher can't be changed on January 6, and I doubt he can because that's full-on TDS situation there, then the left won't move. But you can see that the architecture of that story has changed immensely since day one. You know on day one it really kind of looked like at least on the left Trump did some bad stuff. But the longer you go the more obvious it is that that was just so. Time is helping Trump there.
So what else is falling apart? All the lawfare against Trump. Maybe it will succeed but I think the immensity of it and even the people on the left are saying that looks like just lawfare. Even the Democrats are noticing this is not the way they want a country to run because no Democrat would want their president to be treated this way, certainly not. So I think that the lawfare has backfired. So I would say that these DAs are all part of the infrastructure of deceit because they're not real DAs with real cases. They're political cases obviously. Like I'm going to say that with certainty. There are very few things you can say with certainty about politics but with certainty the legal cases against Trump are political, banana republic. And I think even Democrats can see it. I think so. I mean I think that Bill Maher is the right canary in the coal mine.
How about election integrity? Well I don't want to get too far over my skis because I know my feed on X is now algorithmically tuned to give me more of the stuff I look at. But man am I seeing a lot of election fraud claims that look new. And look, they look kind of convincing. But remember 95% of election claims no matter how convincing they look at day one will not turn out to be true. And 95 is a low figure. It could be 100. It could be 100% of it is not true. But it's going to look true when it happens. And I'll tell you that there does seem to be a shift in the quality and type of claims that are being made at the moment. And I can't tell how much I'm being influenced by one set of claims coming to me and I'm not seeing the counterpoints. So keep in mind that I'm being hypnotized by one view. I don't see the counterpoints. They're just not my feed. But wow are they convincing. Yeah, based on just the stuff I've seen that probably many of you have not seen because you're not clicking on that content as much as I am. But oh my God there's some out there that looks real. I don't know if it is. I don't know if it'll prove out. But wow there's some stuff. Well and here's the interesting part. The claims are things you could check. They are things you could check. So and people are trying to check. So one of the claims, and I'm not going to put any credibility on the claim, remember 95% of these will be fake, but one of them is really interesting. That there's a special kind of machine you need to create ballots and there may have been a lot of ballots that got printed that we didn't know about. So there's a lot of claims in the extra ballot, fake ballot, too many sent to the wrong house kind of domain. There are claims about the inauditability of the machines and whether they're connected to the internet. So there's a lot happening in that domain. I don't yet know how important it'll be.
But we've seen that the Washington Post is fake news. We saw the Phil Bump interview that kind of revealed that the Washington Post isn't trying to be real news. I mean Phil Bump kind of gave up the whole game in my opinion. He confirmed accidentally that they're not trying to do serious news, that it's a narrative farm. And then we hear that newspapers are failing. And newspapers of course are part of the old guard. And the fewer of them the better.
And then I just saw a story that one of the debunkers of Pizzagate who is a friend of Podesta got arrested for some kind of underage sex thing. Now I don't know anything about this story or whether it's true. But it feels as if every part of the narrative on the left is falling apart. And we might even learn that Pizzagate was, you know except for the actual pizza parlor that part seemed to not be true, but we might find out that Pizzagate was directionally true. And we might find out before the next election. It might be exactly what it looks like. Epstein told us that in effect that there was an organized blackmail operation. Would you agree? Would you agree that the Epstein story tells us for sure that Epstein was like a lead person to make sure there was blackmail against important people? Now do you think he was the only person involved in that? Of course not. Of course not. Which suggests that our intelligence people probably have more blackmail on people than we know. Which would explain a lot. You know there's a lot of people in politics who act in a way that doesn't make any sense unless they're being blackmailed. So maybe it's a bigger thing than we know.
And as Mike Benz showed, even Rob Reiner has some connection to the intelligence people. So he's doing a documentary to show that he has new information about JFK's killing. And as Mike Benz says, how much you want to bet he says that Russia did it? That's a good bet, right?
All right. There's a report released last week that a former UN assistant secretary general who worked for the UN for 34 years and some retired German general say they have the same story. That one month after the start of the war in Ukraine there was nearly a deal to end the war really quickly. And the deal would have been NATO stops expanding. That's what Russia wants. And then Russia would keep Crimea because you know they were going to fight to the death to keep it anyway. But Ukraine would not have lost any extra territory, which they now have, right? And the reason it was turned down, why do you think that peace deal was rejected? Do you think Putin said no? No, Putin did not say no. It sounds like he was ready to take the deal. Was it because Zelensky said no? Nope. It was because NATO and the US said no. That's what's being reported. And that it was the US and NATO, but probably more the US and our neocons, really wanted to use that as an excuse to take out Putin. And that this war was never about Ukraine. It was an opportunity to not only goose the military industrial complex but it looked like a way to take down Putin, which had been a longtime goal. And maybe they need to take down Putin because they want to get Russia out of the energy business so that our energy people can compete better.
So just imagine that Biden or whoever the Democrat is is going to have to defend the United States not only funding this war to the greatest amount but that they didn't tell us the real reason for the war. Although later they did say publicly oh this is how we degrade Putin. But they always said that was like a side benefit, didn't they? Oh we mostly defending Ukraine but as a side benefit degrading Russia for years. That's good too. So I would say that the Democrats and their buddies in the military industrial complex and the intel organizations got America into a war that was optional and destroyed Ukraine and got nothing in return. Got nothing in return. Do you think it matters to us that the Russian military is degraded for the next 10 years? How in the world could that matter to us? What were they going to attack America? I can't see any way it matters. They just want to sell energy and be presumably they want to be safe and maybe they want to expand to some places they used to own. But mostly they want to sell their energy and be the little gas station that Putin owns. So that looks like maybe one of the worst government set of decisions in the history of America. It's not just bad. It's bad on a scale we can't even imagine. This will go down as one of the worst blunders in A

merican history by far. In my opinion, by far. Yeah, follow the money. Wall Street Journal has a story about how bad it is that we have smartphones and porn and that a lot of kids in particular are using their smartphones to look at porn. And the article was written by a woman, Mary Harrington. And I just want to call out how an article gets written by a woman. And I want you to just imagine if i…
