Shane Smith sits down with Peter Dale Scott—the guy who literally came up with the term “DEEP STATE” decades ago—to break down how this hidden network of government agencies, military power, and organized crime actually works. Trump assassination stuff to wild historical moments like the Bay of Pigs, the CIA and the Mafia trying to kill Castro, JFK’s assassination, Watergate—you name it. It’s intense, it’s eye-opening—and surprisingly, it’s also pretty funny. Definitely not your typical history lesson. #vicenews #news #ShaneSmithHasQuestions #shanesmith #sshq #donaldtrumpnews #PeterDaleScott #trumpassassinationattempt #JFKAssassination #DrugTradeExposed #deepstate Get Peter Dale Scott's book "The American Deep State: Big Money, Big Oil, and the Struggle for U.S. Democracy" here: http://bit.ly/4gYVOwl Subscribe to VICE News here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News Check out VICE News for more: http://vicenews.com Follow VICE News here: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@vicenews?lang=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vicenews Twitter: https://twitter.com/vicenews Instagram: http://instagram.com/vicenews More videos from the VICE network: https://www.fb.com/vicevideo ============================= 0:00 Welcome Back – Here's What You Need to Know 0:50 What Is the Deep State? – Gerald Posner 2:05 Behind the Scenes with Trump’s Former Security Chief 3:20 Learn from the Expert – Peter Dale Scott on State Secrets 6:50 The Deep State's Structure and Influence 9:00 Unseen Connection – Intelligence, Billionaires, and Criminal Empires 14:00 The Heroin Connection – Afghanistan’s Drug Trade & US Occupation 22:10 Oligarchy or Democracy? – The Battle for America’s Future 26:30 Deep State Connection – Was the Trump Assassination Part of a Bigger Plan? 33:48 Watergate Connection – Deep State Cover-Ups 44:31 The Birth of the Patriot Act – How Emergency Powers Changed America 46:10 Deep State Decoded – Shocking Insights by Peter Dale Scott 50:48 A Nation Awakening – Rising Beyond the Deep State Grip 51:38 Stay Tuned – We’re Just Getting Started! ============================= Who Really Runs AMERICA?
