. That's his goal.

I don't think he can win without it because the brainwashing is so strong. How strong is the brainwashing? How much power is on the other side? I don't know. Let's see what Tucker Carlson says about that if I can make this work. We'll just listen to Tucker.

So if you want to understand, if you really want to understand how the American government actually works at the highest levels and if you want to know why they don't teach history anymore, one thing you should know is that the most popular president in American history was Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon. Yet somehow without a single vote being cast by a single American voter, Richard Nixon was kicked out of office and replaced by the only unelected president in American history. So he went from the most popular president to a president nobody voted for. Huh. Wait a minute, you may ask. Why didn't I know that? Wasn't he a criminal? Wasn't he despised by all decent people? Yeah, no he wasn't.

What in fact if any president could claim to be the people's choice it was Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon was reelected in 1972 by the largest margin of the popular vote ever recorded before or since. Ever. Nixon got 17 million more votes than his opponent. Less than two years later he was gone. He was forced to resign. And in his place an obedient servant of the federal agencies called Gerald Ford took over the White House.

How did that happen? How did that happen? Well it's a long story but here are the highlights and they tell you a lot. Richard Nixon believed that elements in the federal bureaucracy were working to undermine the American system of government, had been doing that for a long time. What elements? He often said that he was absolutely right.

On June 23rd, 1972, Nixon met with the then CIA director Richard Helms at the White House. During the conversation, which thankfully was tap recorded, Nixon suggested he knew, quote, "who shot John," meaning President John F. Kennedy. What Nixon further implied, that the CIA was directly involved in Kennedy's assassination, which we now know it was. What Helms' telling response? Total silence.

But for Nixon it didn't matter because it was already over. Four days before, on June 19th, The Washington Post had published the first of many stories about a break-in at the Watergate office building. Unbeknownst to Nixon and unreported by The Washington Post, four of the five burglars worked for the CIA. The first of many dishonest Watergate stories was written by a 29-year-old Metro reporter called Bob Woodward.

Who exactly was Bob Woodward? Yeah, who was he? Well he wasn't a journalist. Bob Woodward had no background whatsoever in the news business. None. Instead Bob Woodward came directly from the classified areas of the federal government. Uh oh. Shortly before Watergate, Woodward was a naval officer at the Pentagon. He had a top secret clearance. He worked regularly with the intel agencies. At times Woodward was even detailed to the Nixon White House where he interacted with Richard Nixon's top aides.

Did he? Soon after leaving the Navy, for reasons that have never been clear, Woodward was hired by the most powerful news outlet in Washington and assigned the biggest story in the country. He's a good interviewer. Just to make it crystal clear what was actually happening, Woodward's main source for his Watergate series was the deputy director of the FBI, Mark Felt. And Mark Felt ran, and we're not making this up, the FBI's COINTELPRO program, which was designed to secretly discredit political actors the federal agencies wanted to destroy. What people like Richard Nixon.

And at the same time those same agencies were also working to take down Nixon's elected vice president, Spiro Agnew. Uh huh. In the fall of 1973 Agnew was indicted for tax evasion and forced to resign. His replacement was a colorless c
