We're not making you do it.

And if you break the rules and regulations, you're out.

So that's a big part of it, right?

Then you bring in the new bench, the new team.

Then you're going to have to keep fighting the media.

And I think we're slowly, over the years, have started to win that fight.

Because the more and more, that's the one thing I learned when I started Russiagate, my name was outed for the first time, that the media is attacking you, the more you're over the target.

I don't think there's one person or one group.

I think it's people who know they're going to benefit from each other if they sign up for the program, let's call it, right?

And so, again, not a Republican or Democrat thing.

In the glossary of this book, in alphabetical order, I think there's like 65 people I name by title and name just to show people how expansive the deep state is.

And so there is no like one chain of command they report to.

Instead, what I believe they do is they bring in people that they can control.

The Obamas still have heavy sway in that entire operation.

And so do people that have been around for 10, 20, 30 years in Washington.

It's atrocious.

And I'll give you an example from sort of the other end of the spectrum.

When Tucker was on Fox, and this is not an attack on the reporting, it's just the way the pendulum has swung away from mainstream media in general.

When Tucker was on Fox and he was at the peak of his show's viewership, he was still one-third less than Bill O'Reilly when Bill O'Reilly was on Fox in terms of viewership.

Wow.
