Summary

Who is actually running the country? This is a question that Graham Stephen asked me on Iced Coffee Hour not long ago. It is a great question, and the answer is complicated, but people need to understand it. Because while it isn't the conspiracy theory fever dream that some seem to think it is, it's certainly not the schoolhouse rock version people believe. Today, we are going to answer the question of who wields absolute power in America and hopefully answer the even more critical question, which is, what can you do about it?

0:00.0	Who is actually running the country?
0:03.6	Right.
0:03.9	In fact, you could even expand that on who is kind of running the international order that we find ourselves a part of.
0:11.2	And I don't mean this from like a conspiratorial standpoint.
0:14.4	This actually comes from a question that I got asked recently as a guest on iced coffee hour.
0:18.6	And I want to thank Graham and Jack for being very
0:21.1	gracious host. It was wonderful to be on. But he looked at me and just very bluntly in the
0:24.3	middle of our conversation goes, who's really run in the country? And I gave my answer there,
0:30.2	but I actually wanted to elaborate on it because I wanted to think a little bit more about what

0:43.0	bandied about right now. Some of it based on this idea that everything you've been told is a lie.
0:49.8	Some of it based off of actually trying to uplift and protect the kind of international order
0:54.7	that we see right now. We're actually going to define what we mean by that. And some of it
0:59.3	suggesting some sort of middle road. And what we're going to do today is we're going to answer
1:05.5	the question on who we think is actually running the country. And again, I say this as someone that has served in
1:13.2	government for quite some time now at the state level, but has also been fairly active within
1:16.9	DC politics as well. And I've seen some stuff. And it's led me to some conclusions. And that's
1:22.7	what we're going to share with you today, because I believe that there's actually three entities
1:26.4	which are actually running things. And I believe that there's actually three entities which are actually
1:28.7	running things.
1:30.2	And I believe that there's actually some kind of, there's some actually fairly important
1:34.1	reasons that have to do with very, very unique conditions that took place within the 20th
