all right what do people who succeed do? Okay, okay, all right you're doing all right. What if I just do all that? And then he does all that and then he's really successful. Maybe it's that. Just figure out what everybody does and do it. I would describe my own path to, if you can call this success, that I just studied all the successful people from my earliest age. You know from 11 years old if…

ng up a building. You know if they were worried about drone attacks the best drone attack would get a few people. But they seem to be worried about something that would take out a whole building full of Congress people, right? Because it's not like they're all going to be all over the country and then die at the same time unless it's a pandemic I suppose. Maybe it's a pandemic but it does sound like they know something we don't know and I'd sure like to know what that is. Or maybe I wouldn't.

Well in your weird news that you did not expect, I'll put this at the top of the list. Former CDC director Robert Redfield, you remembered him from the pandemic and you probably said to yourself, oh former CDC director, he got a bunch of things wrong, he's a bad actor, he's a bad character. Why did he do so many bad things? I didn't like him during the pandemic. And you might know that RFK Jr. really was a critic of his and was kind of savage even in his book. He was a critic of him. And then this happened. According to RFK Jr. he says Robert Redfield, who I really go after in my Fauci book, wrote an editorial in Newsweek magazine today saying that he was endorsing President Trump because Trump was going to restore American health. And that quote, a lot of people might be surprised to hear me say this but he has chosen exactly the right person who can do this, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And he says this was breathtaking to me. This is the guy who was head of the CDC who had been criticizing for years. And then separately they had lunch. So Redfield and RFK Jr., his biggest critic, and according to RFK Jr. when he met him in person the first thing Redfield said to RFK Jr. was, you were right about everything. Wow. Wow. You were right about everything.

And then RFK Jr. talks about how Redfield agrees, vigorously agrees, that our agencies are all captured. In other words they're not operating on your behalf, they're operating on behalf of companies that have some kind of control over the directors. So this is just mind-blowing. Like you have to know the players to be impressed by this but most of you do. I think you're in the top 5% of people who watch the news if you're watching this. This is mind-blowing. You know it's hard to even imagine that somebody, this is beyond my imagination. He's just completely endorsed patriotism. To me this is Redfield just becoming a pure patriot from whatever he was. I mean I think he probably tried to do the best job he could but it looks like he's admitting the forces were stronger than he was. And this is wild. It's just crazy.

It's not as crazy as a video, I think this is not new but I just was watching it again, Patrick Byrne. You might know him. He was the ex-CEO of Overstock.com. And according to him he was part of an operation to bribe Hillary Clinton on behalf of the FBI in 2016. And he successfully had a foreign company, country, foreign country bribe her with I don't know 18 or 20 million. And separately some Turkish entity bribed her with a similar amount. And the FBI got this all on tape and they got all the evidence and they were ready. They had everything they needed to put Hillary Clinton in jail in 2016. And then Byrne says they told him to drop the whole thing and forget it ever happened because they expected her to win the election in 2016 and then all the FBI people would be in trouble because she would have too much power by then and she could just fire them all.

Now that's the story they told him. Patrick believes the closer real story is that the FBI people were in the pocket of Obama, meaning they were Obama within the FBI, and that the real play was not to find any crimes done by a politician but rather to get blackmail so that Obama could control Hillary Clinton. Does that sound real? Now keep in mind he's not saying I heard this happen. He was in the op. He was like the central person who arranged the bribe. He didn't give the bribe or offer it but he arranged the person to bribe her to be in the same room and off the schedule I guess. Now do you think Patrick Byrne would make up that story? Does that sound like the kind of story that somebody would just make up? It doesn't to me. Yeah you know I feel like I'm pretty good at spotting BS. This doesn't look like BS.

Now if you take it further to what he speculates, you know people are thinking maybe then it could get a little more interesting. But he literally knows for sure because he was part of the op that Hillary Clinton took a gigantic bribe and the FBI was completely aware of it. That part I completely believe. So that would suggest that if you're keeping score, let's see, the media, the DOJ and the Democrats would be all crooked. The Secret Service would be crooked if Bongino's story is what we think it is. Every single entity in the government should be regulating things according to Robert Redfield and RFK Jr. are actually working against our interests not for us. And the FBI is completely compromised and owned by Obama's team if that's true. So how do you feel so far?

And of course Mike Benz tells us about the deep state and the blob and how the CIA may be more partners with the cartels than enemies. So if you're keeping score that would be a corrupt media, Department of Justice, Democrats, FBI, Secret Service, CIA. But I mean that's not bad. There's still a lot more parts of the country so don't start feeling like everything's corrupt.

Michael Shellenberger has an article in which he says that Gates, Soros, Biden, Harris, Walz, Clinton, Obama, the legacy media, the FBI, DHS and EU and Brazil and the Five Eyes nations are desperate to censor the internet. They're not hiding it. Look at them. They're trying to normalize it. So Michael Shellenberger talks about how all these various entities are coordinating to end your free speech and censor you in ways that they can get away with without constitutional problems. So if you're keeping track that would be a corrupt media, Department of Justice, Democrats, Secret Service, FBI, CIA, CDC, every regulating government, Gates, Soros, Biden, Harris, Walz, Clinton, Obama, the legacy media, Department of Homeland Security, the European Union, Brazil, and Five Eyes. But everything else is working perfectly. That's the important part. I don't want you to lose hope because they're the only ones that are corrupt. Everything else is kind of going along fine.

By the way a lot of people won't see this presentation because no matter what my content is YouTube caps it at 31,000 views. Okay so I mean you could add that one to the list. Sure, sure, maybe you've got a little corruption in the Department of Justice, the Democrats, the CIA, the FBI, the Secret Service, every regulating entity. Yeah I think you know where this is going. But thank goodness even if Google and others are trying to censor me, thank goodness I have free speech on X. No I don't. I don't know what's going on with X. I'm willing to believe it's just the algorithm is feeding me people who agree with

me but the effect is that I can yell all day long things that Democrats don't like, they'll never hear them. So if the only speech I have, because the algorithm kind of connects me with people who already agree with me, if the only speech I have is to say things that people agree with that's exactly not free speech. That's the opposite of free speech. Free speech is only useful to say things that…
