. And then they're mocking Trump. The news is just mocking him for saying it. And then Trump saying he thinks it's less than 1% based on what? His hunch. Just based on a hunch, right, when all the experts. And then of course the punchline is that the experts changed to half of 1% and lower I think now. So Trump was 100% right from the get-go. Why? Probably because he didn't trust big organizations…

ut Pizzagate? To which I said that didn't come first. And you know maybe you get some pod conspiracy that comes from usually is there something bubbling up from the bottom and maybe there's some politician who grabs onto it and is willing to say it in public. But it's nothing like any kind of organized RICO criminal operation. It's just a bunch of things that people claimed. Some of them were true and some of them weren't. That's just sort of normal business.

But if you look at the Democrat operation they've got the FBI, Department of Justice. They've corrupted the platforms, the news media. This is all known. The CIA operating, various intelligence agency people involved in the laptop cover-up. So you can see it's all the same characters and they're organized. And so that was a picture I was painting a few days ago and most of you heard it.

Right now here's the update. Two stories. New York Post says the White House counsel's office met with top aide to special counsel Jack Smith just weeks before he brought charges against President Trump for allegedly mishandling classified documents, raising serious concerns about coordinated legal efforts aimed at President Biden's likely opponent. So here's the story in the New York Post suggesting a RICO-like coordination that would be inappropriate in this context.

Here's another story. House Judiciary chairman Jim Jordan, so he's investigating the Fulton County DA Fani Willis, charges that she coordinated with federal officials including special counsel Jack Smith. This is a separate case which the timing of the announcement of the indictments seemed to be very politically advantageous for Democrats and it didn't look like a coincidence. So here would be two examples that are in the news today. The today part is important to this. That as soon as you see the RICO frame on it everything fits.

So what I imagine is you're going to see a whole bunch of stories about people coordinating in various elements of the Democrat machine so that the RICO case becomes clearer and clearer over time. For the people who follow politics I'd say it's completely clear. Would you agree? Most of you I would say are in the top 2% of people who follow the news in any detail. Would you agree that for those of you who are following it in detail the case for a RICO criminal organization is not just possible, it's just obvious? This is the most obvious thing I've ever seen in my life. I mean I don't even know how you could possibly talk

me out of it. It's just really, really obvious. Now you know I don't know that there's like a head like a mafia head but I also don't know if that's necessary if they're all operating with sort of a common understanding. So it doesn't seem like you need a boss per se but it's very organized. It's obvious. And when you see the new Russia hoax that Vivek is a Russian asset it's just more of that. M…
