Right. You know what also was an interesting factor too is the Royal Guard, and I don't want to mess up the exact name. It has a particular name. They were saying how they essentially worked on bribes and they were fat and untrained. And in modern movies, they like to make them seem like an elite fighting guard, but they were rather unimpressive bribes. individuals.

But yet, because of their ability and the widespread corruption, they were still deadly, not because they were stronger or swifter, but simply because there was no roadblock, no judicial process that could get in the way. And I sat there and I listened to Mike Benz and I'm like, That's literally what we have. We have a lack of checks and balances with this elite three-letter agency ruling class.

And they really can get away with what they want while we are held to the highest degrees of accountability. Like on January 6th, for minor misdemeanors, you find yourself in jail without trial for a year because you voted for the wrong guy. Do you think we could roll this back?

That's a good question because I want to be careful whenever I'm talking about the potential for violence in the fact that this kind of stuff would probably result in people getting killed because I don't think these people would give up power. I don't think these people would give up their bureaucratic positioning because we're not talking about a $100,000 raise.

We're talking about people who have the power to control the largest empire in the world's history without even having to go through elections. I mean, this is power that we've never heard of or that's ever been seen.

Well, I think that they are. Like, I mean, when you go down to it, I mean, when you see right now these senators that are in these, you know, red zones, we kind of have a lot of these people we call rhinos, people that might not know. They're Republican in name only. You know, they're in these deep red districts just like we get Nancy Pelosi or these queer politicians in blue districts.

They kind of just allow themselves to stay in office forever. Well, how does that happen? Well, obviously, because the primaries are what are mainly rigged. People choose two candidates, a Republican and a Democrat that basically agree on the same critical issues. And in the end, you know, in a red district, the red guy will win. In a blue district, the blue guy will win.

You always have a fail safe. But what are they looking for? They're looking for people that are going to be loyal to this sort of bureaucratic state and an elite class that are going to allow them to do what they want overseas when it comes to war.

when it comes to surveillance, and they continually, even as Trump is elected, they're trying to put roadblocks in the way of his cabinet picks, meaning they don't really care what the president wants, they don't really care what we want, they care about what they want.
