e worked on trades connected to BCCI which were clearing billions of dollars for intel agencies like the CIA and MI6 and Saudi-led Safari Club, whatever that is. All right. So now we know Epstein was definitely CIA. There's no doubt about it. And we know that his connections were with a senior Barr who was a coverup guy and also junior Barr who was a CIA coverup guy. So he has a strong connection…

of him, I always think of the Marvel universe, and there's a famous line in the Marvel movies where whoever says it, I don't know. Somebody says, "We have a Hulk." Who says that? Is it Tony Stark? Who's the person in the superhero movies who says we have a Hulk? Well, whoever says it, it makes me think of Benz because we have a Benz. They don't really have one of those. And without him, we would not have been able to penetrate the NGO stuff or the Epstein stuff. Two of the biggest things going.

So and we have a Victor Davis Hanson and we have a we have a me. We have, I don't want to say we have a Joe Rogan because I prefer to think of him as an independent, but he's definitely not anti-Trump and we have an Elon Musk. But think about it. Yeah, we have a Cernovich. Yeah, I could go down the line, come up with another 10 names, but we seem to have people who are just way better at stuff. Things you didn't even know needed to happen. But yeah, we have a data Republican. They don't have that.

But really if you watch any of the left-leaning content, which I've started to do as much as possible, like the Bulwark, etc., it's mostly just gossipers. Like what makes you famous or successful on the left is that you're good at insulting Republicans. You're good at the gossip. So that seems to me what they value. Oh, you did a really good job of insulting Trump. So we'll watch your show. But on the right, there's some kind of competence thing that people are valuing. The people on the right can tell the difference between what is really useful and what is just a bunch of insults.

Now I would suggest that I've trained an entire Republican party about persuasion and also reframing. So if you take just those two contributions that just I did, persuasion and reframing, who did that on their side? Who taught the Democrats how to do that? Nobody. They don't have a me. So they don't have a Mike Benz. They don't have a me. They don't have an Elon Musk. They always complain that they don't have a Joe Rogan, but again, he's I call him an independent, but he's super useful. Yeah, they have a Rob Reiner. Their best guy was Rob Reiner and Stephen King, the Avengers. Yes, thank you. Yep.

Again, I hate to say that we have an Elon Musk because I also think of him as an independent, but I get it. I know why you're saying it. And when you look at their historians, their historians are basically just insulters that they just use history to insult Trump. Well, obviously he's a fascist. But you go to Victor Davis Hanson and he's giving you this incredible context that really puts everything in order. Completely different. Completely different. Yeah, we have one of them. They don't. We have a Dennis Miller. I don't hear much from him. Yep. They have a James Carville and Joy Reid. You're right. Some of their most notable people are just idiots. So what it takes to be notable on the left is to be wildly lying like the designated liars and to be good at insulting or if you're Rachel Maddow to be good at faceless while you insult.

Have you ever watched her face while she thinks she has something? I'm so happy because I've got something bad to say about a Republican, about Trump. Oh my god, I can't get this smile, this smug smile off my face. Whoa. Whoa. And oh my god, it's so cringe. Yeah, her face screams mental illness. And I mean that seriously, not as an insult. It screams mental illness. Yeah, they have a Tim Walz. Oh my god. They have a Governor Cuomo. Are you kidding me? We have a Ron DeSantis and they have a Tim Walz. Come on. Come on. Are you going to put them in the same bag? No. No. We have a Trump and they had a Kamala Harris. Right. Right. We had a Trump and they had a Kamala Harris. These are not competitive, you know, because the way the system is set up, she can still come within striking distance, but there's no way that they have any kind of equal talent set. You know, Trump's talent stack is extraordinary, and she didn't have any. She had no

talent at all. They have an Eric Swalwell and we've got something. I'm running out of names. Yeah, they have a Jasmine Crockett. So but even if you didn't like Ted Cruz, you're smarter than most of them, right? We've got a Ted Cruz and they've got some lying weasels. They have most of the fraud. Now I will give them Mark Cuban because I think he has a real brain. But he doesn't, he's not really u…
