d of the most important thing happening in the world.

Yeah, Glenn will talk about the octopus in a second. Then he says blah blah blah about Glenn Greenwald's claims about the CIA. Tucker says I mean it's confirmed. It's not like a fever dream. That's what I keep saying. We know it's true. And he goes it's real. They played it in the last election domestically. And I guess it shows how dumb I am because they've been doing that for many years. The guy who took out Mossadegh lived on my street. I'm one of the results. CIA officer. What? I don't know what that means. So I mean again I grew up around this stuff but I never really thought, I never reached the obvious conclusion which is that, wait for it, here comes the obvious conclusion and see if this sounds familiar to you. The obvious conclusion which is that if the US government subverts democracy in other countries in the name of democracy it will over time subvert democracy in my country. Why wouldn't it?

Does that sound familiar? That's why I've been for a while now, if you create an entity who become really good at overthrowing countries and they do it 80 times in a row successfully, I don't know how many in a row but 80 times successfully, they're going to overthrow your country because they can and they will come up with a justification because they can. They came up with justifications for all the other countries. You know they don't do it without some kind of cover story. So all they need is a cover story. That's the easiest thing in the world. Oh the other one's a dictator. Better overthrow the country. Save democracy.

Yeah. So do you remember when you first realized that we didn't live in a republic and maybe we hadn't for a long time? How many of you remember like the moment you said oh this was never even real in my lifetime? I don't know if it was ever real. Maybe when I was two. Maybe during Eisenhower. Maybe. I don't know. But I don't feel that I live in anything like a republic or a democratic republic. How many of you feel like you're living in a republic like it's actually the will of the people and you know it's imperfect but it's basically good? Yeah. Now I wonder if any Republicans feel they're living in a republic anymore. I don't know. Yeah it's weird that that could change.

Well I started watching, I haven't finished yet, the Netflix series, a new series called The Octopus Murders. And I can't entirely summarize it for you because it's so complicated. There are a lot of names involved but that's part of the story. The Octopus is all the names involved. So the basic idea is that there was some guy that they think was CIA connected who was doing all these ops around the world. And one of them was he sort of took over an Indian reservation and then he used it for illegal selling of drugs and gambling to make some illegal money. And then started inviting in the US, I guess some arms dealers that were working with the CIA so they could do illegal arms stuff to get, I don't know, they were going to give the arms to the Contras or something. So they used the Indian reservation because it's not America per se to do illegal things that you couldn't do or you wouldn't want to get caught if he did somewhere else.

What's that sound like? That's Ukraine. It's just creating a place where the CIA can operate with impunity to do all the dirty stuff they need to do and it's not in the United States. And so they're alleged that there are many murders that are associated with the CIA and they're a murderous bunch of drug dealing people. But here are the things which if this stuff is true, of course who knows. I believe there was a suggestion that they wanted to use the Indian reservation for a bioweapons lab. Did I hear that right? I was sort of half falling asleep. So they're going to use, does this sound familiar? It's basically the Ukraine play. And then you can see that they've already tested it so it must be common operation to find the most lawless place, partner with the most dangerous people, sell drugs to make dirty money that you can use for whatever you're doing. It's all there.

So basically everything you assumed about the CIA, everything you ever assumed about Ukraine, it's all there modeled. I'm not going to say that they practiced there to do it in Ukraine. What I'm saying is it must be part of the toolbox of the trade to do exactly what Ukraine is. So it doesn't surprise you at all. Yeah it's all there.

All right. So when you see that the cartels seem to have freedom to bring drugs into this country and you say to yourself I'm sure we could have done more to stop it, it's because we're not stopping it. You know I don't believe that the border patrol is working with the CIA to let drugs in the country. That's not happening. There's no evidence that I think the border patrol is trying to stop it and wondering why they don't have the right tools and why nobody's helping them. That's because somebody's probably making money on it.

So you got that. Another story: the University of Florida terminated all of its DEI people and now that's going to be illegal. It is illegal in Florida to teach DEI in their schools. Now that still leaves the corporations so it's not like a gigantic win but at least you got it out of the schools. Now here's my question. Imagine if you had taken up a cubicle job to be a DEI professional and then you hear that Florida decided that you, the person in that job, is too dangerous to even be allowed to operate in the state schools. That's what happened. They didn't say let's get rid of DEI because it's not giving us benefit for the money. They didn't say that. They said it's dangerous. That it makes things worse.

Imagine that's your job, your job as DEI, and you just found out one of our biggest states had a vote and decided it's just really bad for the state. We got to make it illegal. How many other things are illegal that basically are talking and teaching? You know DEI is a lot of talkin
