. 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…

ongressman from Grand Rapids called Gerald Ford. Oh, what was Ford's qualification for the job? Yeah, what was it? Well he had served on the Warren Commission which absolved the CIA of responsibility for President Kennedy's murder.

Nixon was strong-armed into accepting Gerald Ford by Democrats in Congress. Quote, "We gave Nixon no choice but Ford," Speaker of the House Carl Albert later boasted. Eight months later Gerald Ford of the Warren Commission was the president of the United States. See how that works? See how that works? Any questions?

Remember the part where you said we're in good shape because Trump's got a good lead in the polls? Do you know who else had a real good lead in the polls? Richard Nixon. You know who else had a real good chance of reelection? JFK. Do you know what two groups were suspicious of the CIA and wanted less of them? Nixon. JFK. Yep. That's the world you live in folks.

Would you like to hear an update from RFK Jr. talking about the assassination of his father? Not JFK Jr. That's his uncle. By his father, Bobby. His version is this. Sirhan Sirhan was waiting in one part of the building where he got shot and that wasn't the place that he normally would leave the building. But for some reason unexplained, the person who was sort of guiding him by the elbow took him to an unusual, non-regular exit where Sirhan Sirhan was waiting. Huh. Kind of a big coincidence that he was guided to the place where the killer was, which wasn't even the normal place.

And then what followed was Sirhan Sirhan shooting all of the bullets in his gun that were eight. All eight bullets. Now most of them were fired when people had already grabbed his gun hand so they weren't fired at RFK. They were fired at the ceiling and maybe hit some other people, whatever. But there were eight of them. I mean they know the gun has room for eight bullets. Fourteen bullets were shot. This is RFK Jr.'s take on it. We know from the recording that 14 bullets were shot from the eight bullet gun. It would seem that the person who took him by the elbow blew his head off in the commotion.

So that's the suggestion, is that the CIA made sure that Sirhan got it done because they had a second shooter to finish the job. And the second shooter was probably the guy who held him by the elbow. And as soon as the gun started shooting and everybody started looking at the shooter, it looks like he just took a gun out of his pocket and blew Kennedy's head off or something like it.

Now you say to yourself how in the world could you be hearing this story now if it's true with all those witnesses and all that? Well that's a good question. Seemed like there were a lot of people there. Somebody would have seen something different. But just think about the other things that you know are true. It's not that unusual unfortunately. It's not outside the realm of normal ordinary government entity that they would have murdered them right in front of a group of people and you wouldn't know it. I don't think that's unusual. Don't think so at all.

So it does seem clear that the CIA has been running the operation at least since then. You know, at least since the 60s, maybe before. And on paper there's no way it could go any other way because it's an entity that's trained to take over countries. Of course they're going to do it. It just does a matter of time. But apparently it happened a long time ago.

Now that doesn't mean that it's such a clean ownership of the country that they can just get everything they want right away. You know, they have to go through the pretending and the acting like the process is working. And then when the time is right they'll just give the nudge. Now you know, you probably said to yourself how in the world did we get to this point where Biden was ever president in the first place? Do you think that the CIA was unaware of Biden's dementia? Of course they knew. Of course they knew. It's the CIA.

Do you think there was any doubt in their minds that they had a demented president? Of course not. If they wanted to change that, how hard would it be? Simple. They just go to the Washington Post, the New York Times. They say all right, we're anonymous sources and we're telling you from the intelligence community that the president has dementia and he's got to go. It'd be the easiest thing in the world because those entities would say all right, you're our normal source, we trust you, you got some details, all right we'll write that story. But that story never got written, did it?

And I think Mike Benz is correct. The only reasonable explanation is that the intelligence community is using Biden as an empty vessel for whatever they need to do. They apparently are getting what they need to do done so they didn't need a change. I also think that 99% of the presidency is the staff tells him what to do and he says yes. So we did. I think we proved that you don't really need a president. Not that much anyway. You do need the president during the emergencies but that's the same stuff the CIA handles, right?

If the president gets awakened at 3:00 a.m., somebody from the CIA is going to be in the room and tell them what to think, tell them what's true and probably tell them what to do. So I think that's our government. That the intelligence people have control of the things that intelligence people control. Not everything in the world but you know wars and geopolitical stuff and who gets elected. I think that's all just the CIA.

Tucker said it directly on the All-In pod that we're not a democracy or even in the ballpark. We're a group where there's a small group of unelected people who decide who can be in the primary and who's going to get elected. And it's been that for a long time. So we're not a republic. We're not a democracy. Haven't been for a long time.

Now how much is true about the stories about Nixon and the stories about Kennedy and the stories about the other Kennedy? Well if only half of it's true it's the same story. I

f only half of it's true. Now some of us have said for a while that we would know immediately when the CIA decided to turn on Biden and they needed to make a change. And do you remember me saying that as soon as you saw Rob Reiner and Stephen King turn on him that that was the signal? Rob Reiner and Stephen King just turned on him. So almost like it was coordinated. They both said we're out. Now…
