Bongino and Patel demonstrate that THE SWAMP can NEVER be reformed
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
I want to thank Dan Bongino and Kash Patel for demonstrating, yet again, that you can't reform the swamp.
That even when good people join the swamp, they get chewed up and they get spat back out as compromised people.
And I would put Dan Bongino and Kash Patel in the category of overall good people.
They have good hearts.
They're trying to do the right thing, or at least they came into this.
I mean, they had the courage to call out the corruption of the FBI, you know, before they joined it.
Dan Bongino spent many, many years as a podcaster talking about Epstein, the Epstein files, demanding investigations into Epstein's death, demanding investigations into the failures of the Secret Service, surrounding the assassination attempts of Trump, and so many other issues.
And now, when Kosh Patel and Dan Bongino are made, The heads of the FBI, what happens?
Oh, Epstein did kill himself after all.
Yeah, we've seen the files.
It's all open and shut case.
Don't ask any more questions.
It's all good.
So it took less than 100 days before Dan Bongino and Kash Patel became the swamp.
Kash Patel, for his part, and I interviewed Kash, and like I said, I overall found that he was a very bright guy.
And also has a heart for America.
He's a patriot.
He's a law and order guy.
He famously said that if he were made head of the FBI, he would shut it down on day one.
He would fire them all.
He would engage in investigations of corruption inside the FBI.
So he got his wish.
He was made director of the FBI.
And then what happened?
Oh, nothing.
Nothing.
The FBI.
He's asking for a bigger budget, moving into a bigger building now.
He's going to have more power.
He needs more power because of more terrorism.
So, Kash Patel wasn't a reformer.
He didn't do anything different than anybody else.
He just got subsumed by the swamp and is now actually advocating for a bigger, bigger centralized swamp.
And that's what happens.
And I'm not even...
It's not even about the people and their ethics or their morality or their passion.
It's about how the system is so broken that almost nobody can resist the corruption of the system.
You know, the CIA runs around blackmailing everybody, like, you have to say this or we'll kill your family or whatever, whatever they do.
And, you know, there's also the corruption of AIPAC and Israel.
All of that going on at the same time.
You have to say it's Israel first, which both of those guys have become like pro-Israel people.
Israel first, America last, sadly.
But even when people like Elon Musk enter the picture, Doge, and Elon, I even feel sorry for him a little bit at this point, because Elon, he was sitting on top of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
To really radically reform government waste and fraud.
And he was doing it.
He actually had the plan and the technology and the personnel, and they were doing it.
They shut down USAID, USAID.
That was just a cesspool of fraud and waste, no question about it.
So that's one thing that Elon got done.
And then Elon Musk was talking about, hey, we're going to audit the Pentagon now.
Oh, and then what happened?
Because that's a trillion dollar vortex of total waste and fraud.
What happened after that?
He got shut down.
He got shut down.
Because those powerful forces found a way to attack Elon, get him out of the picture, suppress him, and they shut him down.
So this once in a lifetime opportunity has been...
Shattered.
And this is why I've said there is no reforming of a totally corrupt swamp system.
There are no reforms that are possible.
And I've also said collapse is the only real reform.
In other words, the only way this ever changes is through a collapse of the financial system, collapse of the currency, collapse of the debt, etc.
And interestingly, even Trump is...
Of course, still printing trillions of dollars.
That's not going to change under anybody.
Every president, every politician is going to print and print and print until they blow out the whole system or blow up the whole system.
It's going to detonate, and we're going to have a total collapse of the financial system, which will collapse the U.S. government, the federal government.
It will collapse the whole system, the IRS, the FBI, the FDA.
You name it.
And that is the only reform that will ever happen.
And at that point, the United States of America, as we know it, will come to an end.
But I'm here to tell you that this is a necessary step in the much bigger reform to actually create a constitutional republic.
You're not going to be able to nibble around the edges of this monstrosity that has been created.
You know, with all the dollar printing and all the bureaucracy and the total authoritarianism and attacks on freedom of speech organized by the government itself.
And that even hasn't ended under Trump.
It's just shifted to attack people who criticize Israel now.
So, you know, we still don't have freedom of speech, of course.
There will be no meaningful reforms until the system craters.
Followed by a rebirth is the only way that we will ever get reform.
And Dan Bongino and Kash Patel just underscore that.
And to some extent, even RFK Jr. underscores that.
Not that it's his fault.
It's just that what he's showing is that within his system, within HHS, even a well-meaning guy like Bobby is so constricted, so limited.
He had to make so many Secret deals with U.S. Senators.
He had to basically agree to be strangled.
And that's not a smear on his moral character.
That's a confirmation of the fact that the swamp will allow no reforms, no matter who gets in there.
And even Trump himself.
Regardless of Trump's intentions, and I do think that Trump has positive intentions for the country, but regardless of his intentions, The system will push back and threaten and coerce everywhere that they need to in order to achieve the survival of the cancer which is big government.
This is why the libertarians are correct or the anarcho-capitalists are actually correct on this very point.
And this is why I have become more and more in the camp of saying that we don't need government at all.
Because government...
Never serves its purpose.
Instead, it always becomes a system of abuse, of coercion, and of corruption.
And it never serves the people.
It only exists to serve itself.
And it only exists like a cancer tumor to attract more resources to itself and to function as a parasite on the actual American workers and savers and innovators.
So we don't need an FDA at all.
I've even said this after Bobby was confirmed for HHS.
I said, you know, half jokingly, but not really, that if they made me secretary of HHS, my job would be over in one day.
It would be like, yeah, you're all fired.
All of you.
FDA, CDC, NIH, HHS, NIAID, all of it.
You're all fired.
Goodbye.
We don't need any of it.
None of it helps America in any describable way whatsoever.
And anything that the FDA does that might be useful could be done by the states in a much more compassionate way at the local level.
Primarily, the FDA and the CDC just function as promotional branches of big pharma.
And the NIH is the funding branch for big pharma and climate change narratives and all kinds of garbage like that.
Every other agency, the NIAID was just building bioweapons to be deployed against the American people.
That's what the DOD does.
That's what DARPA does.
They build biological weapons.
They created Lyme disease.
They built electromagnetic weapons.
They use the American people for medical experiments.
This is what governments do, no matter who runs them.
So it also proves that elections don't really matter at all.
I mean, they matter around the edges.
You can say, well, at least we're not getting all the LGBT garbage right now in government.
So that's merciful.
So we can bring back motherhood now.
So that's one thing.
But, you know, have the mass abortions stopped?
No.
Has the mass bombing and starvation of Palestinian children ended?
Nope.
Do we have peace with Russia?
Nope.
Not a chance.
Even though Trump promised peace, even before he was sworn in, he would achieve peace before he was sworn in.
He was going to get us out of wars.
He was going to bring our soldiers home.
And what has actually happened instead?
More money sent for more wars, more bombs, more soldiers, more expansion of a military stance.
It's just the same script over and over again.
It's exactly the same.
They just change the faces of the people that abuse power and that always become authoritarians and that always stand for larger and larger government and the destruction of basic human rights.
And there is literally no way to change the system with elections or with reforms from the inside.
The only way this system changes is when it actually sets itself on fire.
And I'm not even saying that any of us have to...
We don't have to accelerate.
We're not accelerationists, that kind of thing.
We're just observers.
We're sitting in the bleachers like, wow, this system is going to set itself on fire.
That's pretty wild.
Hey, maybe we should stack some gold and silver as an insurance policy.
Maybe we should learn to grow food.
Maybe we should become more self-reliant because this system is going to destroy itself.
We're watching the system just literally Print so much currency that it's going to implode.
It's going to be a total wipeout of pensions, a wipeout of the banking system, a wipeout of treasuries.
You know, we're watching this as observers, again, not accelerating it, but saying, oh, yeah, I've read about this.
I've seen this before.
This has happened.
This is history repeating itself.
This is, you know, fourth turning, or maybe it's just Every currency collapse that's ever happened, from Yugoslavia to Argentina to Venezuela to Chile to, you know, whatever, to Ecuador, it's the same thing over and over again.
And nobody learns from history because government always makes the same mistake.
They print and print and print until it all collapses.
The people learn nothing.
They get wiped out, you know, and then the government blames some foreign enemy.
Oh, it was...
It was China's fault, or whatever.
And the people are totally wiped out, and then they go back to electing a new government, which repeats the exact same mistake, all the same abuses, over and over again, and the people are just beating themselves on the heads with hammers and saying, why does it still hurt?
So the honest answer in all of this is that unless we have a revolution of consciousness and a change in the way that People understand the relationship with government and where power actually comes from.
If we don't actually change this consciousness, then nothing will ever change in the way government operates and the way people act and the way people vote for their own enslavement.
So the answer here is not elections.
The answer is not reforms.
The answer is consciousness.
And that's what I teach.
It's really a consciousness revolution, which is based in peace, but an uplifting in the understanding of who we are and how we are children of God and why we should never consent to authoritarians.
