In the wake of his viral podcast appearance with Joe Reynolds, Bennett finds himself caught in increasingly disturbing parallels between his TV show and reality. As "Course Correction" rallies spread organically across the nation, Pantheon News Channel subtly shifts its coverage to highlight Bennett's popularity over President Stillman's administration. When Bennett discovers military vehicles bearing Pantheon logos preparing for the upcoming Army celebration parade, he must decide whether to continue playing along with what he increasingly suspects is more than just marketing. Meanwhile, Garrett Fisher's podcast explores the uncanny similarities between the latest episode of "The Insurgent" and real-world events, leaving listeners wondering where entertainment ends and reality begins.

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:15.560
Calarougus Shark Media Welcome to Acting President, Episode four parallels.
2
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:35.159
Bennett stared at Harding's text, it's starting. Then back at
3
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:39.560
the television, where news helicopters tracked military vehicles moving along
4
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:43.079
the Capitol Beltway. His first instinct was to call Emma,
5
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:46.799
but he stopped himself. What would he say that he
6
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:50.880
feared a conspiracy was unfolding, that he might somehow be implicated,
7
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:55.640
He'd sound paranoid. He called Harding instead, no answer. The
8
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.640
news anchor was emphasizing that the Pentagon had confirmed these
9
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:02.479
were scheduled exercises, part of a homeland security drill announced
10
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:07.439
months ago. Nothing unusual yet social media was erupting with speculation,
11
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.439
some users posting side by side comparisons with scenes from
12
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:17.159
The Insurgent, where military vehicles appeared in similar formations. Bennett's
13
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:21.280
phone rang Melissa from Pantheon Plus Marketing, Jimmy, have you
14
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:25.079
seen what's happening online? The military convoy thing is driving
15
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:28.519
our numbers through the roof. People are rewatching episode two
16
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:34.159
where your character meets with the General. It's incredible synchronicity. Synchronicity,
17
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:39.120
Bennett repeated, hollowly. Is that what we're calling it whatever
18
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:42.719
it is, it's working. Listen, we need you in Austin tomorrow.
19
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.840
We've booked you on Joe Reynolds. Bennett knew the show immediately.
20
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.799
One of the most popular podcasts in America, hosted by
21
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:56.480
a provocative, politically unclassifiable figure known for marathon conversations with
22
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:00.920
everyone from scientists to conspiracy theorists. Post had a massive,
23
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:05.120
devoted following that hung on his every word. Reynolds, is
24
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:10.319
that a good idea? He's not exactly predictable. That's why
25
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:14.080
it's perfect, Melissa insisted. His audience is exactly who we
26
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.479
want watching the show. Three hours of conversation that will
27
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.120
circulate everywhere. Pantheon has a jet standing by to take
28
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:25.120
you tomorrow morning. Bennett wanted to refuse, but his contract
29
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:29.879
obligated him to publicity appearances, and perhaps more importantly, he
30
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:33.680
needed to understand what was happening. The lines between promotion
31
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:43.759
and something more sinister were becoming increasingly blurred. The following morning,
32
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.240
Bennett's driver took him to a private airfield where a
33
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.520
sleek Pantheon plus corporate jet waited. To his surprise, Victor
34
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.159
Harding was standing at the foot of the stairs. What
35
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.400
are you doing here, Bennett demanded, thought i'd join you
36
00:02:56.479 --> 00:03:00.680
for the trip. Harding replied smoothly, we have things to discuss.
37
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:04.919
I have nothing to discuss with you, especially not after
38
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:09.960
your cryptic text about military convoys. Harding's expression remained neutral.
39
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:15.000
The Pentagon explained those just a routine exercise unless you
40
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.919
know something I don't. Bennett studied his former chief of staff,
41
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.960
trying to read his intentions. You said it's starting, did I,
42
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:28.960
Harding raised an eyebrow. I meant the publicity wave, the
43
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:33.120
show's momentum. I've been consulting with Pantheon's PR team on
44
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:37.000
the political angles. Bennett couldn't tell if Harding was lying.
45
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:43.080
You're working with Pantheon now in an unofficial capacity. My
46
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:47.159
background in political communication makes me valuable to them. This
47
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:51.879
show is blurring lines in fascinating ways. During the flight
48
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:56.360
to Austin, Harding briefed Bennett on Joe Reynolds, his interview style,
49
00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:00.840
his triggers, his audience demographics. It's going to ask if
50
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.479
you're really planning to run for president, Harding predicted, don't
51
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:08.639
give a flat no. Keep the possibility alive. It drives
52
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.599
interest in the show. I'm not using the show to
53
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.800
position for a political run. Bennett insisted, of course not
54
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.120
Harding agreed with a smile that suggested the opposite. It's
55
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:23.759
all about the ratings. When they landed, a production assistant
56
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:27.279
whisked Bennett to a converted warehouse where Reynolds recorded. The
57
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:32.839
space was industrial chic, exposed brick, leather furniture, shelves lined
58
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:36.480
with books and curiosities. Reynolds himself greeted Bennett with a
59
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.120
bear hug, as if they were old friends, though they'd
60
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:44.399
never met. Governor Man. This is awesome. Huge fan of
61
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:48.120
the show, Huge fan of your politics too. Back when
62
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.199
you were running California, you didn't get captured by the
63
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:55.040
system like most of these guys. Reynolds was exactly as
64
00:04:55.079 --> 00:05:00.000
Bennett had seen in clips, athletic build, intense energy, curious
65
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.240
that missed nothing. As they settled into comfortable chairs across
66
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:08.319
from each other, technicians adjusted microphones and lighting. We go
67
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:12.680
three hours, Reynolds explained, no cuts, no edits just conversation.
68
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:17.879
You good with that? Bennett nodded, suddenly nervous. Three unstructured
69
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:21.360
hours with an unpredictable interviewer known for getting his guests
70
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:25.160
to reveal more than they intended. Harding took a seat
71
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:29.279
behind the cameras, watching intently. Reynolds launched in without hesitation.
72
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:33.399
Today we've got former California governor and current star of
73
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:36.839
The Insurgent, James Bennett. If you haven't seen this show,
74
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:40.319
you're missing out. It's about a former governor played by
75
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.519
an actual former governor who gets pulled into a conspiracy
76
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.639
to take over the government. Wild premise, but the way
77
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:51.199
things are going maybe not so wild right. The first
78
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:55.600
hour covered Bennett's acting career, his transition to politics, and
79
00:05:55.639 --> 00:06:00.720
his return to entertainment. Reynolds was a skilled interviewer rapport
80
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:06.319
while gradually steering toward more substantive territory. So these coarse
81
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:11.120
correction rallies, Reynolds said, leaning forward, they're popping up everywhere.
82
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.120
I saw one here in Austin thousand people easy signs
83
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.439
with your face on them. Some of them look like
84
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.480
fans of a TV show, but others look dead serious
85
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:26.319
about political change. What's that feel like? It's surreal, Bennett admitted.
86
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:29.639
The show seems to have tapped into something in the zeitgeist.
87
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:34.000
People are frustrated with the system. Are you frustrated with
88
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:38.759
the system? With President Stillman, Bennett hesitated, aware of harding
89
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:42.120
watching him. I think there are legitimate concerns about the
90
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.480
direction of the country. The tariffs, for instance, Oh man,
91
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:50.000
the tariffs are killing us. Reynolds interrupted. My buddy runs
92
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.480
a manufacturing business, says he's about six months from bankruptcy
93
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:57.959
because of that policy exactly. Bennett found himself warming to
94
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.800
the topic. When I was governor, we saw firsthand how
95
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:06.519
protectionist policies ultimately hurt the very industries they claim to help.
96
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:12.759
There are better approaches. Reynolds nodded enthusiastically. See this is
97
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:16.519
what I'm talking about. You know your stuff, You've actually governed.
98
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:19.360
Does that make you want to run? I feel like
99
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:25.079
you'd win easily. You're what fifty four? Fifty two? Bennett corrected,
100
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.920
fifty two. Yeah, I think we're sick of these old guys.
101
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:33.040
You look good on TV. You should run. Bennett gave
102
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:37.800
the diplomatic answer he'd prepared. Acting President was just renewed
103
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:40.920
for season two, so I don't think Pantheon would like
104
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:44.639
me running. I'm enjoying acting again. I'd love to do
105
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.720
one of the Yellowstone shows after this, or maybe play
106
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:52.560
Felix Lighter in a James Bond. Reynolds laughed, nice Dodge,
107
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.800
but seriously, these tariffs are ridiculous. You must have thoughts.
108
00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:00.600
As a former governor, Bennett found himself speaking rankly about
109
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:06.000
his economic philosophy, drawing on his gubernatorial experience. The conversation
110
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:10.680
flowed naturally into foreign policy, constitutional questions, and the role
111
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:15.240
of government, all areas where the insurgent had planted seeds
112
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.720
of discourse. By the third hour, Reynolds had circled back
113
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.240
to the show's premise, let me ask you something wild.
114
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:25.079
In the show, your character believes the system is so
115
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:29.120
broken that extraordinary measures are justified. Do you think we're
116
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.480
approaching that point in real life? Are we at a
117
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:37.440
coarse correction moment? Bennett chose his words carefully. Democracy is resilient,
118
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.639
but not invulnerable. The Founders created a system of checks
119
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:45.840
and balances because they understood the dangers of concentrated power.
120
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.159
When those checks and balances fail. He trailed off where
121
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:53.120
he was echoing lines from the show. When they fail.
122
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:57.919
Reynolds pressed, that's the question the show is exploring. Bennett deflected,
123
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.679
where's the line between civic beauty and something more extreme?
124
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:06.159
It's a thought experiment. A thought experiment that's got people
125
00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:10.120
organizing in the streets. Reynolds noted, after your Time Square
126
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:15.399
appearance course correction rallies happened in twenty cities. That's wild Man.
127
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:22.799
After the podcast ended, Reynolds insisted Bennett's stay for dinner.
128
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:27.879
Just a few friends coming over, nothing fancy. Those few
129
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:32.519
friends turned out to include a billionaire, two prominent political commentators,
130
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:36.360
and a retired Navy admiral, a gathering that felt eerily
131
00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:39.559
similar to scenes from the show where Bennett's character built
132
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:46.240
his coalition. Throughout the evening, conversation drifted between entertainment and politics,
133
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.320
with Bennett's show as the nexus point. The admiral expressed
134
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:55.240
concerns about military readiness. The billionaire complained about government interference
135
00:09:55.240 --> 00:10:00.159
and innovation. The commentators discussed public appetite for systemic change.
136
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:05.360
No one explicitly mentioned anything illegal or unconstitutional. Yet Bennett
137
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.120
couldn't shake the feeling that he was being assessed, evaluated
138
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.519
for something beyond his role as an actor. When he
139
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:17.279
finally returned to his hotel, Emma called with news the
140
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:21.840
Reynolds podcast is already viral. Clips are everywhere. Bennett for
141
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:26.440
President is trending that's not what I was promoting. Bennett protested,
142
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:30.440
doesn't matter. People are reading into everything you said, and
143
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:35.080
Pantheon is thrilled. Viewership is up another forty percent. They're
144
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:40.759
expanding the course correction marketing campaign. After hanging up, Bennett
145
00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:43.679
turned on the news. Coverage of the Pope's funeral showed
146
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:47.240
President Stillman among world leaders in Rome, but the domestic
147
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:51.080
news focused on growing economic troubles and the spreading course
148
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:55.840
correction phenomenon. One report showed footage of a rally in
149
00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:59.840
Chicago where thousands had gathered. Some carried signs with be
150
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.559
It's face in quotes from the show. Others had more
151
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:08.759
explicit political messages. Stillman must go in time for real leadership.
152
00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:15.080
His phone buzzed with a text from Harding, impressive performance today.
153
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:17.679
They're convinced you're the right man for the job.
154
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:20.399
What job?
155
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.879
Bennett texted back, I'm an actor, are you? Seems like
156
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.039
you're playing many roles lately. The lines are blurring. Jimmy
157
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:29.039
talk soon.
158
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.519
Welcome to Insurgent Theory. I'm Garrett Fisher, and we need
159
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.080
to talk about this week's episode of The Insurgent and
160
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:53.919
James Bennett's appearance with the Joe Reynolds Podcast because the
161
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:58.799
parallels are getting impossible to ignore. Let me catch everyone
162
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:02.039
up on episode four of the show. First, Bennett's character
163
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:05.159
has now fully assembled his team and they're moving from
164
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.519
talk to action. The episode centers around a betrayal. One
165
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:12.639
of the conspirators gets cold feet and threatens to expose
166
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:15.679
the plot. The team has to decide how to handle
167
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:20.080
this threat, with options ranging from blackmail to something more permanent.
168
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:26.840
The moral tension is masterfully done. Bennett's character argues against violence,
169
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:29.919
insisting there trying to save the republic not become the
170
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.320
very thing they're fighting against, but he's also shown making
171
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.159
compromises he wouldn't have made earlier. The slippery slope of
172
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:42.039
justification is the central theme. Now, let's talk about Bennett's
173
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:45.519
real world appearance on Reynolds three hours of conversation and
174
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:49.960
I counted seventeen moments where Bennett's comments directly echoed lines
175
00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:54.759
from the show. Seventeen when Reynolds asked about the tariffs,
176
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.000
Bennett gave almost word for word the same critique his
177
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:04.279
character delivers in episode three. Was that intentional? Is Bennett's
178
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:07.360
staying in character for publicity purposes or is the show
179
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:12.679
actually written around Bennett's genuine political beliefs. The line has
180
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:15.840
become so blurred that even I can't tell anymore, and
181
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:20.320
I analyze this stuff for a living. The Course Correction
182
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:23.879
rallies have now spread to over fifty cities. Some are
183
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:28.840
small gatherings, others are drawing thousands. What started as promotion
184
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.159
for a TV show has morphed into something that looks
185
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:35.759
remarkably like a political movement. Signs with Bennett's face chance
186
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.720
drawn from the show explicit calls for President Stillman to resign.
187
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:44.960
Pantheon Plus claims they're just capitalizing on a marketing opportunity.
188
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:49.480
But they're printing thousands of course Correction shirts and distributing
189
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:53.399
them for free. They're organizing public screenings that function like
190
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:57.679
political rallies, and most tellingly, they're not doing anything to
191
00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:02.240
distinguish between the show and real war politics. I've covered
192
00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:05.879
entertainment for fifteen years, and I've never seen anything like this.
193
00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:09.639
It's like we're watching a new form of political mobilization
194
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.679
being born, using fiction as its vehicle, blurring entertainment and
195
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:18.840
activism until they become indistinguishable. And here's the most unsettling
196
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:23.840
parallel In episode four of The Insurgent, Bennett's character appears
197
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:28.039
on a podcast very similar to Reynolds. The fictional host
198
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:32.519
asks almost identical questions to what Reynolds asked the real Bennett.
199
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:36.879
The conversation covers the same topics the show was filmed
200
00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:40.639
months ago. How is this possible? Is life imitating art?
201
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.120
Or was art designed to prepare us for what's coming?
202
00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:47.559
Next week's episode promises to be pivotal. The trailer shows
203
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:51.159
Bennett's character making what appears to be his first overt
204
00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:54.919
move against the administration. With the way patterns are holding,
205
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:58.559
I'd expect something similar to unfold in the real world.
206
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:03.240

208
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:11.279
I'm Garrett Fisher warning you that when fiction and reality
209
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:14.240
start to mirror each other this closely, we might want
210
00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:16.840
to pay very close attention to what happens next in
211
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:17.360
the show.
212
00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:23.279
The day after the podcast, Pantheon Plus organized another public
213
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:26.000
screening in Austin. The crowd was even larger than in
214
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:30.519
Times Square and the political energy more explicit. Bennett watched
215
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.840
from backstage as local organizers led chance that had nothing
216
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.120
to do with television and everything to do with political grievances.
217
00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:41.799
Emma stood beside him, concern etched on her face. This
218
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:45.000
is getting out of hand. The network is playing with fire.
219
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:50.240
They don't seem worried. Bennett observed watching Melissa from Marketing
220
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:56.200
enthusiastically directing staff distributing more coarse correction shirts. They don't
221
00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:59.799
understand what they're creating, Emma said. Or maybe they do,
222
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:04.879
and that's worse. As Bennett took the stage, the roar
223
00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:08.279
from the crowd was deafening. Signs waved above the sea
224
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:11.919
of people, some about the show, many more about real
225
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:16.480
political issues. He kept his remarks brief, focusing exclusively on
226
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:19.200
the show as entertainment, but the crowd seemed to hear
227
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:23.120
political subtext in every word. Afterward, as he was leaving
228
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:26.080
through a back entrance, a man in a suit approached
229
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:30.519
Governor Bennett. Agent Mills would like a word in a
230
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:34.519
secure room at the venue. Catherine Mills waited, her expression grave,
231
00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:38.639
mister Bennett, we need to talk about what's happening. It's
232
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:43.320
just a TV show getting popular. Bennett said reflexively, No,
233
00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:47.240
it's not. Mills laid photographs on the table. These were
234
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:52.320
taken at various course correction rallies across the country. These individuals,
235
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:55.639
she pointed to several faces circled and read, are known
236
00:16:55.679 --> 00:17:00.639
members of militia groups. These, she indicated, others are military
237
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:04.680
with connections to extremist organizations, and these a final group
238
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:09.279
are foreign nationals with ties to intelligence services. Bennett stared
239
00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:13.960
at the images, what are you saying. I'm saying that
240
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:17.119
what presents itself as a fan movement for a television
241
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:22.759
show is being infiltrated or possibly orchestrated by individuals with
242
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:28.079
anti government agendas, and you, wittingly or unwittingly, have become
1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:15.560
2
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:35.159

00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:21.280

00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:25.079
