welcome to the mickey pass show.

00:00:07.530 --> 00:00:28.984
I'm mick and I'm pat I'm kind of sick yeah, you got the, got the crud, unknown, unknown virus, maybe the the the vid vid rona you never know these days it's not even worth testing, you know, because you're sick enough that you're just like I don't want to go out and do anything.

00:00:28.984 --> 00:00:35.383
And if it is the corona it's not like the, it's not going to kill you.

00:00:35.383 --> 00:00:43.985
It really just feels like a summer cold, yeah, but I mean, you sounded like well, I was listening to recording.

00:00:43.985 --> 00:00:45.570
You sounded like you had it not too long ago.

00:00:45.570 --> 00:00:52.530
Billie Jean just got over it the week before last and I just started feeling it.

00:00:52.661 --> 00:00:58.387
I remember last week when we were recording, I was like driving home I'm like I'm sick, I can feel it.

00:00:58.387 --> 00:01:10.644
I can feel it like boiling up into my brain but anyways, excuse me, I sound nasally or snotty, um, and not at my best.

00:01:10.644 --> 00:01:13.349
But I'm feeling pretty good now, pretty much over it.

00:01:13.349 --> 00:01:15.206
Just the congestion over the hump.

00:01:15.527 --> 00:01:15.828
Yeah.

00:01:16.670 --> 00:01:18.364
Um, thanks for joining us folk.

00:01:18.364 --> 00:01:23.304
Uh, we appreciate you taking time, as always, to check in every week.

00:01:23.304 --> 00:01:30.129
Um, this week, you know, as always, to check in every week.

00:01:30.129 --> 00:01:48.248
This week, you know, we both listened to the RFK Jr dropout and endorsement of Orange man, and you know, it's one of those things of like I'm bummed about it.

00:01:48.248 --> 00:02:12.741
But he's only dropping out in battleground states, so he's suspending his campaign in states that are swing states because he thinks it's hurting Orange man too much, man too much.

00:02:12.741 --> 00:02:14.424
That, without a doubt, um, what will you?

00:02:14.424 --> 00:02:14.925
What do we call her?

00:02:14.925 --> 00:02:15.284
Smiley lady?

00:02:15.284 --> 00:02:17.068
Yeah, uh, smiley lady will win the cackler.

00:02:17.068 --> 00:02:17.649
Yeah, cackling lady.

00:02:17.649 --> 00:02:37.318
Um, and so, uh, he is uh, suspending his campaign in order to not pull more votes away from orange man and endorsed voting for orange man in battleground states, but he's still running his campaign in non-battleground states, so that way, if you want to vote for him, you can vote for him without it affecting either party, right?

00:02:37.338 --> 00:02:38.241
you can vote for him.

00:02:38.241 --> 00:02:57.343
It's probably not going to really swing california away from cackley lady or, you know, colorado from cackley lady, or texas from orange man or uh, what's another big red one you know, like wyoming wyoming from red man, I mean from orange man.

00:02:57.343 --> 00:03:00.772
So all that said, um he.

00:03:00.772 --> 00:03:06.909
The reason we really want to kind of listen to speech and react to it is because he said things.

00:03:06.909 --> 00:03:08.173
It was funny.

00:03:08.173 --> 00:03:15.211
I was watching some other person react to it while it was live and he was like bro, this is the stuff that got his uncle and dad shot.

00:03:15.621 --> 00:03:31.641
Like, talking like this, like he was saying things about, you know, the government and its failures, that was seriously accusatory, just like JFK and RFK senior did, right.

00:03:31.641 --> 00:03:34.949
So so I was like all right, I got to listen to this.

00:03:34.949 --> 00:03:37.081
Then I listened to the whole thing.

00:03:37.081 --> 00:03:39.912
I was like dang, that was nuts.

00:03:39.912 --> 00:03:43.841
And then I've been telling people about it and people like no, no way, that's not real.

00:03:43.841 --> 00:03:44.942
Like, no, seriously.

00:03:44.942 --> 00:03:47.524
Like we got to look into this, these things he talked about.

00:03:47.563 --> 00:04:24.528
And sure enough, I've been looking so much more into, you know, autism diagnosis, obesity rates, ag, company that owns Monsanto and produces it, and I've been looking more and more into like pesticide and its correlation and all that, and so like there's just so much that he talks about and points blame on that, I was like dude, this guy's like he's making some heavy statements Like you gotta be able to back it up and like you can back it up Everything he's saying.

00:04:24.528 --> 00:04:31.012
You can read the you know reports and papers that have come out about it and the studies and like you know fact, check them on it.

00:04:31.012 --> 00:04:33.245
And he's he's nailing it all in the head.

00:04:33.245 --> 00:04:40.101
So I also just think, like I, if anything, this is solidified, that I'm going to vote for him.

00:04:41.023 --> 00:04:46.706
Um, just because, like he has taken, he's recognized.

00:04:46.706 --> 00:04:55.273
Okay, the worst thing is not me losing, the worst thing is this person winning.

00:04:55.273 --> 00:05:09.064
And even though I'm not as big of a fan as this guy, as a classical liberal, him and I have more in common policy wise than I do with her you what I mean.

00:05:09.064 --> 00:05:11.850
And so he's now just like all right, like I gotta, we gotta, make some progress here.

00:05:11.850 --> 00:05:17.117
And I guess, like you know, I remember he got interviewed right before orange guy picked his vp.

00:05:17.117 --> 00:05:25.291
It was a couple weeks before he picked his vp and they're like, hey, would you like say yes to being orange guy's vp?

00:05:25.291 --> 00:05:27.454
And he's like no, no, like I wouldn't.

00:05:27.454 --> 00:05:28.824
And they're like, would you serve on his county?

00:05:28.824 --> 00:05:30.208
He's like no, and he like dismissed it.

00:05:31.211 --> 00:05:35.178
And then, I guess, right after the you know, the assassination, I think, put everything in perspective.

00:05:35.178 --> 00:05:55.680
Because the assassination is when really they started like that was like within that week they flipped from sleepy man to smiley lady and like it was because like shit, we can't win right now, dude, um, and it was just one of those things where, um, I think that put it in perspective for him.

00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:15.367
And now he's like you know, it's actually not the worst thing if I was on this dude's cabinet, because at least he's got, he's open to hearing, he's open to me fixing things and like letting me go in and clean house and actually do stuff without being like you know, step, get in my way of doing it right.

00:06:15.387 --> 00:06:15.949
So it's kind of.

00:06:15.949 --> 00:06:25.773
And also, I think honestly rfk is still young enough and healthy enough that you know if he was on orange Man's ticket, they went to the White House.

00:06:25.773 --> 00:06:40.786
He could easily change from being the head of FDA to running for president four years later and easily swing it out once enough people get the confidence of like oh, he's doing a lot of stuff in there.

00:06:40.786 --> 00:06:41.788
I don't know.

00:06:41.788 --> 00:06:46.105
I want to do the reaction to his speech.

00:06:46.105 --> 00:06:47.163
It's 48 minutes.

00:06:47.163 --> 00:06:59.024
We'll pause it and like just comment on stuff that we find interesting and we're gonna run it on like a 2x not 2x but one and a half x just to kind of make sure we push through it and there's time to talk about it.

00:06:59.024 --> 00:07:14.350
But I think it's important our listeners get to hear what he has to say, because so many people I think just what's sad was like I was watching the guy reacting and so many of the people who were tuning into a stream reacting to it like all they were like oh, dude, I can't I can't stand his voice.

00:07:14.492 --> 00:07:17.485
Oh dude, how could someone with that voice be our president?

00:07:17.485 --> 00:07:21.901
I'm like, just listen to what he is saying.

00:07:21.901 --> 00:07:24.869
Like, just like, what does it matter what he sounds like.

00:07:24.869 --> 00:07:37.504
Like it was so superficial, that was like that was pretty much everyone who wasn't, you know, of course, conservative or independent leaning that was all of their opinion was like, haha, you really want this guy who can't even get a sentence out, to be president.

00:07:37.504 --> 00:07:40.639
Like I'd rather have biden again and it's just like.

00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:47.074
No, you're just gonna vote for whoever they tell you to vote for One's a physical disability.

00:07:50.704 --> 00:07:53.750
Other one's a mental disability.

00:07:53.750 --> 00:07:55.574
Well, actually it's a mental disability.

00:07:55.574 --> 00:08:10.829
It's neurological, but it doesn't have to do with his brain debilitating, know, brain debilitating, right, um, but what I realized after listening to that speech was like I actually have a hard time listening to orange man talk now.

00:08:10.829 --> 00:08:20.274
Oh yeah, because I'm just like I I feel like rfk spoiled us with like a very presidential speaker you know, what I mean.

00:08:20.500 --> 00:08:25.011
It's so like the cadence of anyone else talking is kind of hard for me to listen to.

00:08:25.011 --> 00:08:33.613
On either side of it I'm like, oh my gosh, neither of them can communicate it very clearly and concisely.

00:08:34.134 --> 00:08:34.294
Yeah.

00:08:36.226 --> 00:08:36.889
So have you seen this yet?

00:08:36.889 --> 00:08:37.572
Have you watched it yet?

00:08:37.631 --> 00:08:40.690
Pat, I haven't seen it all the way through, but I've seen a lot of clips from it.

00:08:40.690 --> 00:08:49.166
I've seen the big key points takeaways from it and seen, like the you know, the big point key points takeaways from it, and I think that I've been on.

00:08:49.166 --> 00:08:54.020
Yeah, for rfk has been interesting to me this whole time because he's just to your point.

00:08:54.020 --> 00:09:10.726
What you're getting at is he seems like someone who can put together coherent sentences but also from the heart, like he's not just he's not just babbling out talking points of what he's supposed to say, he's actually addressing issues and things.

00:09:10.726 --> 00:09:33.567
So and I think that, um, from what I have heard from him, I think that, yeah, he's carries himself in a as a much stronger presence or like potential leader in that, in the way that he he talks, he's not just, for whatever reason, like almost every big time politician, just they don't say anything.

00:09:33.567 --> 00:09:36.385
No, it's just lip service.

00:09:36.687 --> 00:09:40.448
Yeah, I think I think Vance and Waltz.

00:09:40.448 --> 00:09:45.791
I think both of them are very noisy about the things they stand for.

00:09:45.791 --> 00:09:48.261
They actually are both pretty decent speakers.

00:09:48.261 --> 00:09:57.163
Yeah, um, it's unfortunate that, like on that ticket, they're better at speaking than you know.

00:09:57.163 --> 00:10:01.870
The actual like president runners, like what is it?

00:10:01.870 --> 00:10:09.422
Candidates, candidates, yeah, um, so anyways, but here here we'll go, we'll hop right into it.

00:10:09.422 --> 00:10:19.605
Um, and I can, uh, I can, skip through um need be, but there's just a lot that he says that I think's again important for people to hear.

00:10:19.605 --> 00:10:27.729
Um, just because this guy could have been our president, man, he could be our president still next time.

00:10:27.729 --> 00:10:30.889
There is a chance he explains it in the speech.

00:10:30.889 --> 00:10:41.905
There is a chance that in a runoff of 269 and 269 for both Orange man and Smiley Lady, that he could be an incumbent president.

00:10:41.905 --> 00:10:44.846
Right, with like the remaining votes.

00:10:44.846 --> 00:10:46.907
Right, well, not the remaining votes, but with like.

00:10:46.907 --> 00:10:48.780
Then it goes into them voting Like.

00:10:48.780 --> 00:10:50.788
Everyone just gets to vote for who they think is most fit.

00:10:51.580 --> 00:10:56.211
And it doesn't have to be in accordance to the electoral college.

00:10:56.211 --> 00:10:59.386
So I just thought that was interesting.

00:10:59.548 --> 00:11:07.484
Here we go 16 months ago, in April of 2023, I launched my campaign for president United States.

00:11:07.484 --> 00:11:15.792
I began this journey as a Democrat, the party my father, my uncle, a party which I pledged my own allegiance to long before I was old enough to vote.

00:11:15.792 --> 00:11:22.158
I attended my first Democratic convention at the age of six in 1960.

00:11:22.158 --> 00:11:30.746
And back then, the Democrats were the champions of the Constitution of civil rights.

00:11:30.746 --> 00:11:33.296
The Democrats stood against authoritarianism, against censorship, against colonialism, imperialism and unjust wars.

00:11:33.296 --> 00:11:35.767
We were the party of labor, of the working class.

00:11:35.767 --> 00:11:40.327
The Democrats were the party of government transparency and the champion of the environment.

00:11:40.327 --> 00:11:43.863
Our party was the bulwark against big money interests and corporate power.

00:11:43.863 --> 00:11:46.350
True to its name, it was the party of democracy.

00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:52.913
As you know, I left that party in October because it had departed so dramatically from the core values that I grew up with.

00:11:52.913 --> 00:12:00.414
It had become the party of war, censorship, corruption, big pharma, big tech, big ag and big money.

00:12:00.414 --> 00:12:09.000
When it abandoned democracy by canceling the primary to conceal the cognitive decline of the sitting president, I left the party to run as an independent.

00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:13.581
The mainstream of American politics and journalism derided my decision.

00:12:13.581 --> 00:12:22.494
Conventional wisdom said that it would be impossible even to get on the ballot as an independent because each state poses an insurmountable tangle of arbitrary rules for collecting signatures.

00:12:22.494 --> 00:12:32.769
I would need over a million signatures, something no presidential candidate in history had ever achieved, and then I'd need a team of attorneys and millions of dollars to handle all the legal challenges from the DNC.

00:12:32.769 --> 00:12:36.249
The naysayers told us that we were climbing a glass.

00:12:36.904 --> 00:12:46.845
First thing, right there, my reaction when I was hearing that is like this is just also absolute bullshit.

00:12:46.845 --> 00:13:01.711
This is just also absolute bullshit, like the fact that, like this is the hoops that all of these candidates have to jump through to be able to even remotely like stand a chance to get on the ballot, let alone get into like debates.

00:13:01.711 --> 00:13:11.515
Like bro, there's no way any of these other electorates on the republican or democratic tickets could have achieved this, gotten remotely close to those things.

00:13:11.515 --> 00:13:18.004
Right, jeb bush, there's no way he would have ever gotten a million signatures but yet he was still allowed to participate in party debates.

00:13:18.004 --> 00:13:24.929
Right, you know, I mean it was just like the fact that, like we really ask yourself if you listen to this.

00:13:24.990 --> 00:13:48.317
I really challenge people ask themselves Is there anywhere in you know our state of mind of a free, you know, independent, self-governing nation, that this guy shouldn't be allowed to debate either side?

00:13:48.317 --> 00:13:59.285
Like it makes no sense to me that here we are in August and that for the last year and a half he's been invited, he hasn't been allowed in any debates.

00:13:59.285 --> 00:14:01.571
That is ludicrous.

00:14:01.571 --> 00:14:05.168
Like that is absolutely asinine, in my opinion.

00:14:05.509 --> 00:14:26.453
Definitely, and there has to be ways that you I mean you can't just let everybody off the street- come into the thing, right, but the, like you said, the amounts of signatures, everything you need to jump through the hoops to even get involved, is pretty astronomical, which would like almost put you at.

00:14:26.453 --> 00:14:29.105
If any of those other candidates could do that.

00:14:29.326 --> 00:14:36.412
That would almost save for the fact that they were going to win you know and like the fact that, like I know, orange man said like he was.

00:14:36.412 --> 00:14:55.003
He was like I'd be totally up to like debating him, but due to laws, regulatory laws, it was said like oh no, it's actually illegal for you, as a presidential candidate, to debate with someone who's not another presidential candidate and I was like this is insane.

00:14:55.725 --> 00:15:20.106
Like anyone can debate him when it's an interview, right, but like the fact that they'd be on stage and taking questions it's somehow illegal at a federal level and I like I was trying to understand the laws wrapped around it and I'm just like what purpose does any of this serve, other than to like make it harder for the american people to hear other opinions on how the country should be run?

00:15:20.106 --> 00:15:31.605
You know what I mean anyways, but that was like the first thing that I was just like I can't believe I'm seeing this guy drop out of the race and I never got to like see him once debate someone live, yeah, and he comes out swinging.

00:15:31.706 --> 00:15:34.721
You know mentioned comparing him to just like the party of war.

00:15:34.721 --> 00:15:36.746
You know like that's the truth coming out.

00:15:36.746 --> 00:15:38.871
Yeah, it's like the conservative party.

00:15:39.421 --> 00:15:41.083
The gop didn't block him anywhere.

00:15:41.083 --> 00:15:43.590
The gop didn't run them out of any states.

00:15:43.590 --> 00:15:49.710
It was in all of the dnc states, like all the primarily blue states that were running them out.

00:15:49.710 --> 00:15:50.432
You know what I mean.

00:15:50.432 --> 00:16:01.351
And making it impossible, throwing legal loopholes at them constantly to keep them gummed up and from being able to be on any uh ballots to vote for oh yeah past version of mountain impossible.

00:16:01.952 --> 00:16:04.105
So the first thing I want to tell you is that we proved them wrong.

00:16:04.105 --> 00:16:10.128
We did it because, beneath the radar of mainstream media organs, we inspired a massive independent political movement.

00:16:10.128 --> 00:16:14.961
More than a hundred thousand volunteers sprang into action, hopeful that they could reverse our nation's decline.

00:16:14.961 --> 00:16:18.230
Many work 10-hour days, sometimes in blizzards and blazing heat.

00:16:18.230 --> 00:16:21.809
They sacrifice family time, personal commitments and sleep.

00:16:21.809 --> 00:16:28.841
Month after month, energized by a shared vision of a nation healed of its divisions, they set up tables at churches and farmers markets.

00:16:28.841 --> 00:16:32.418
They canvassed toward a tour In Utah and in New Hampshire.

00:16:32.418 --> 00:16:39.613
Volunteers collected signatures in snowstorms, convincing each supporter to stop in the frigid cold, take off their gloves and to sign legibly.

00:16:39.613 --> 00:16:48.110
During a heat wave in Nevada, I met a tall athletic volunteer who cheerfully told me that he had lost 25 pounds collecting signatures in 117 degree heat.

00:16:48.110 --> 00:16:55.333
To finance this effort, young Americans donated their lunch money and senior citizens gave up part of their Social Security checks.

00:16:55.333 --> 00:16:58.669
Our 50-state organization collected those millions of signatures and more.

00:16:58.669 --> 00:17:01.889
No presidential campaign in American political history has ever done that.

00:17:02.048 --> 00:17:03.673
That's crazy American political history has ever done.

00:17:03.673 --> 00:17:03.774
That.

00:17:03.774 --> 00:17:10.730
That's crazy, and so I want to thank all of those dedicated volunteers and congratulate the campaign staff who coordinated this enormous logistical feat.

00:17:10.730 --> 00:17:14.109
Your accomplishments were regarded as impossible.

00:17:14.109 --> 00:17:15.944
You carried me up that glass mountain.

00:17:15.944 --> 00:17:17.128
You pulled off a miracle.

00:17:17.128 --> 00:17:19.667
You achieved what all the pundits said could never be done.

00:17:19.667 --> 00:17:28.631
You have my deepest gratitude, and I'm never going to forget that, not just for what you did for my campaign, but for the sacrifices you made because you love our country.

00:17:28.631 --> 00:17:31.509
You showed everyone that democracy is still possible here.

00:17:31.509 --> 00:17:40.535
It continues to survive in the press and in the idealistic human energies that still thrive beneath a canvas of neglect and of official and institutional corruption.

00:17:41.380 --> 00:17:45.471
Today, I'm here to tell you that I will not allow your efforts to go to waste corruption.

00:17:45.471 --> 00:17:47.497
Today, I'm here to tell you that I will not allow your efforts to go to waste.

00:17:47.497 --> 00:17:55.821
I'm here to tell you that I will leverage your tremendous accomplishments to serve the ideals that we share the ideals of peace, of prosperity, of freedom, of health, all the ideals that motivated my campaign.

00:17:55.821 --> 00:18:01.104
I'm here today to describe the path forward that you've opened with your commitment and with your hard labors.

00:18:01.104 --> 00:18:19.728
Now, in an honest system, I believe that I would have won the election In a system that my father and my uncles thrived in, a system with open debates, with fair primaries, with regularly scheduled debates, with fair primaries and with a truly independent media untainted by government propaganda and censorship.

00:18:19.728 --> 00:18:24.297
In a system of nonpartisan courts and election boards, everything would be different.

00:18:24.679 --> 00:18:40.864
It's one thing when, like you know, you have the conservative party being like the media is unfair and paints us and like is like manipulating things, and then, like you know, democrat party never says it, but like they might be.

00:18:40.864 --> 00:19:10.758
Like well, fox is always like totally unfair and biased, right, right, and he goes on here, but like it's just like it's one thing to be like you both point at each other, accusing each other for the same thing you're doing, but then when the dude who's independent picks aside and he's like no, you, you guys, are like real ones corrupting that Like it's also just like okay, all right, so maybe, kind of like, maybe there's no denying it now.

00:19:10.897 --> 00:19:11.339
You know what I mean.

00:19:11.339 --> 00:19:14.567
Right, right, just admit it, yep.

00:19:16.080 --> 00:19:22.128
After all, the polls consistently showed me beating each of the other candidates both in favorability and also in head-to-head matchups.

00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:34.208
But I'm sorry to say that, while democracy may still be alive at the grassroots, it has become a little more than a slogan for our political institutions, for our media and for our government and, most sadly at all for me, the Democratic Party.

00:19:34.208 --> 00:19:43.731
In the name of saving democracy, the Democratic Party set itself to dismantling it, Lacking confidence in its candidate, that its candidate could win in a fair election.

00:19:43.731 --> 00:19:48.791
At the voting booth, the DNC waged continual legal warfare against both President Trump and myself.

00:19:48.791 --> 00:20:01.931
Each time that our volunteers turned in those towering boxes of signatures needed to get on the ballot, the DNC dragged us into court, state after state, attempting to erase their work and to subvert the will of the voters who had signed those petitions.

00:20:01.931 --> 00:20:08.321
It deployed DNC-aligned judges to throw me and other candidates off the ballot and to throw President Trump in jail.

00:20:08.321 --> 00:20:13.306
It ran a sham primary that was rigged to prevent any serious challenge to President Biden.

00:20:13.306 --> 00:20:24.067
Then, when a predictably debatable debate performance precipitated the palace coup against President Biden, the same shadowy DNC operatives appointed his successor, also without an election.

00:20:24.709 --> 00:20:29.689
They installed a candidate just I mean he's just your eyebrows jumped at that one.

00:20:29.689 --> 00:20:37.404
Well, I mean, because he's just, yeah, just he's throwing it out there, like yeah, just like I mean, and calling it for what it is and what it was and nobody accepted, you know.

00:20:37.404 --> 00:20:43.303
Like, yeah, biden didn't, uh, didn't, pull himself out of the race necessarily.

00:20:43.303 --> 00:21:01.989
And like, yeah, at least willingly, and and then just shadowy operatives, I mean dnc appointed judges is what he's saying you know, yeah and like and is dnc, that's democratic national convention yeah judges yeah, why is that?

00:21:02.869 --> 00:21:12.740
why is that a title like yeah, it feels like it's a um conflict of interest interest?

00:21:12.961 --> 00:21:14.285
you should be an american judge.

00:21:14.285 --> 00:21:17.792
Federal judge is that a position I don't understand.

00:21:17.792 --> 00:21:26.454
No, I think it's literally like the dnc appointing judges over the cases of whether or not he's allowed to be on a ballot in a state.

00:21:26.539 --> 00:21:35.468
Yep, it's just it's a sounds a little uh mobstery to me well, and it's one of those things too, like at this point, a lot of people are like how much money did trump pay him?

00:21:35.468 --> 00:21:37.882
Like, oh man, like he's really sucking the trump off.

00:21:37.882 --> 00:21:55.326
And it's just like do you really think a guy who's made a career taking the trillion dollar companies to court over poisoning the environment, do you really think that guy can be paid off?

00:21:55.326 --> 00:21:56.210
Right?

00:21:56.210 --> 00:21:59.008
Do you think Trump has enough money to pay him off?

00:21:59.008 --> 00:22:01.005
No, no, not anywhere.

00:22:01.005 --> 00:22:02.189
And also, what is it?

00:22:02.189 --> 00:22:03.073
Does Trump have any money or not?

00:22:03.073 --> 00:22:03.193
Right?

00:22:03.193 --> 00:22:03.344
You know what I mean.

00:22:03.344 --> 00:22:03.963
But cause like here's, my thing is like not anywhere.

00:22:03.924 --> 00:22:04.133
And also, what is it?

00:22:04.133 --> 00:22:04.508
Does trump have any money or not?

00:22:04.469 --> 00:22:18.933
right, you know, like, but because like here's, my thing is like this guy has taken company after company to court and the government to court and sued the hell out of them for poisoning rivers, poisoning soil, poisoning people.

00:22:19.800 --> 00:22:22.025
You can look up any of his kind of like big court cases.

00:22:22.025 --> 00:22:26.632
The one against monsanto and roundup is like the biggest one, of course, um, in recent years.

00:22:26.632 --> 00:22:38.160
But if you don't think for a moment those companies didn't try to grease his wheels with the big ass paycheck, then like I don't know what fantasy you're living in.

00:22:38.160 --> 00:23:12.814
And if you think that he said no to that and was like, no, I'll see you in court and yeah, it's gonna be hell, and it's gonna be hell and it's gonna be miserable and it's gonna be a knockout, drag out fight, but like we're gonna do it because we're gonna win and eventually we'll we'll dry you out and you're gonna owe, you're gonna owe damages for what you've done, right, do you think like trump can come to be like, hey, flip, flip on that dnc, like you know, say all these bad things about the democratic party and Kamala Harris is a candidate, and then join me on my side for $1 billion?

00:23:12.854 --> 00:23:14.336
You know what I mean Join the dark side.

00:23:15.020 --> 00:23:31.645
He doesn't have more money than those companies and so, like, I think really what we're seeing is just like a dude who went into the race initially to like, hey, I'm gonna do my best to run independent here, since the democratic party ticket won't let me run.

00:23:31.645 --> 00:23:36.539
And then it was like, and he wasn't a fan of either.

00:23:36.539 --> 00:23:37.602
And then now he's at the end.

00:23:37.602 --> 00:23:38.403
He's like you know what?

00:23:38.403 --> 00:23:42.520
They've burned me so hard with the butt of cigarettes.

00:23:42.520 --> 00:23:43.242
You know what I mean?

00:23:43.242 --> 00:23:53.021
Like that I'm just I'm burnt against them, like and I'm flipping on my own volition here, like you know, and like he's still, because he would still describe himself as a classical liberal.

00:23:53.021 --> 00:23:56.069
Right, are you?

00:23:56.069 --> 00:23:58.095
Are you pulling up the video to watch as well, or?

00:23:58.536 --> 00:24:02.290
um, no, okay I just didn't know if you wanted me to tell you the time we're at.

00:24:02.531 --> 00:24:07.287
No it's fine so unpopular with voters that she dropped out in 2020 without winning a single delegate.

00:24:07.287 --> 00:24:09.913
My uncle and my father owe the relish to debate.

00:24:09.913 --> 00:24:15.108
They prided themselves on their capacity to go toe-to-toe with any opponent in the battle over ideas.

00:24:15.108 --> 00:24:25.750
They would be astonished to learn of a Democratic Party presidential nominee who, like Vice President Harris, has not appeared in a single interview or an unscripted encounter with voters for 35 days.

00:24:25.750 --> 00:24:27.522
This is profoundly undemocratic.

00:24:27.522 --> 00:24:33.227
How are people to choose when they don't know whom they are choosing, and how can this look to the rest of the world?

00:24:33.227 --> 00:24:43.105
My father and my uncle were always conscious of America's image abroad because of our nation's role as the template for democracy, the role model for democratic processes and the leader of the free world.

00:24:43.960 --> 00:25:00.945
Instead of showing us her substance and character, the DNC and its media organs engineered a surge of popularity for Vice President Harris based upon well, nothing no policies, no interviews, no debates, only smoke and mirrors and balloons in a highly reduced Chicago circus.

00:25:00.945 --> 00:25:07.855
There in Chicago, a string of Democratic speakers mentioned Donald Trump 147 times just on the first day.

00:25:07.855 --> 00:25:10.443
Who needs a policy when you have Trump to hate?

00:25:10.443 --> 00:25:15.084
In contrast, at the RNC convention, president Biden was mentioned only twice in four days.

00:25:15.084 --> 00:25:16.907
I do interviews every day.

00:25:16.907 --> 00:25:18.633
Many of you have interviewed me.

00:25:18.633 --> 00:25:20.405
Anybody who asks gets to interview me.

00:25:20.405 --> 00:25:22.393
Some days, I do as many as 10.

00:25:22.393 --> 00:25:27.604
President Trump, who actually was nominated and won an election, also does interviews daily.

00:25:27.604 --> 00:25:33.189
How did the Democratic Party choose a candidate that has never done an interview or debate during the entire election cycle?

00:25:33.650 --> 00:25:34.250
We know the answers.

00:25:34.651 --> 00:25:36.353
They did it by weaponizing the government agencies.

00:25:36.353 --> 00:25:38.394
They did it by abandoning democracy.

00:25:38.394 --> 00:25:39.715
They did it by suing the opposition.

00:25:39.736 --> 00:25:40.537
It is just crazy.

00:25:40.921 --> 00:25:42.807
And by disenfranchising American voters.

00:25:42.807 --> 00:25:47.930
What most alarms me isn't how the Democratic Party conducts its internal affairs or runs its candidates.

00:25:48.551 --> 00:25:59.006
What alarms me is will you look up when the last time that's happened, when someone for the Democratic Party was made presidential nominee without there?

00:25:59.026 --> 00:25:59.567
being a vote?

00:25:59.567 --> 00:26:01.448
I think never.

00:26:01.448 --> 00:26:02.986
That's what I'm thinking, too like.

00:26:03.046 --> 00:26:05.801
I don't think like I don't think anyone is really caring.

00:26:05.801 --> 00:26:06.463
You know what I mean.

00:26:06.463 --> 00:26:08.309
Like everyone's like oh yeah, I guess that just happens.

00:26:08.309 --> 00:26:18.769
It's like I think it's never happened before and they're just like, and no one realizes an insane abuse of power just occurred in our nation.

00:26:19.692 --> 00:26:24.828
Yeah, resort to censorship and media control and the weaponization of the federal agencies.

00:26:24.828 --> 00:26:37.050
When a US president colludes with or outright coerces media companies to censor political speech, it's an attack on our most sacred right of free expression and that's the very right upon which all of our other constitutional rights rest.

00:26:37.050 --> 00:26:49.108
President Biden mocked Vladimir Putin's 88% landslide in the Russian elections, observing that Putin and his party controlled the Russian press and that Putin prevented serious opponents from appearing on the ballot.

00:26:49.108 --> 00:26:56.693
But here in America, the DNC also prevented opponents from appearing on the ballot and our television networks expose themselves as Democratic Party organs.

00:26:56.693 --> 00:27:03.663
Over the course of more than a year, in a campaign where my poll numbers reached at times in the high 20s, the DNC lied.

00:27:03.663 --> 00:27:07.813
Mainstream media networks maintain a near-perfect embargo on interviews with me.

00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:15.250
During his 10-month presidential campaign in 1992, ross Perot gave 34 interviews on mainstream networks.

00:27:15.250 --> 00:27:25.568
In contrast, during the 16 months since I declared, abc, nbc, cbs, msnbc and CNN combined gave only two live interviews from me.

00:27:25.568 --> 00:27:32.842
Those networks instead ran a continuous deluge of hit pieces with inaccurate, often vile, pejoratives and defamatory smears.

00:27:32.842 --> 00:27:37.284
Some of those same networks colluded with the DNC to keep me off the debate stage.

00:27:37.284 --> 00:27:51.769
Representatives of those networks are in this room right now and I'll just take a moment to ask you to consider the many ways that your institutions have abdicated this really sacred responsibility, duty of a free press to safeguard democracy and to challenge, always, the party in power.

00:27:51.769 --> 00:28:01.670
Instead of maintaining that posture of fear, skepticism toward authority, your institutions have made themselves government mouthpieces and stenographers for the organs of power.

00:28:01.670 --> 00:28:06.288
You didn't alone cause the devolution of American democracy, but you could have prevented it.

00:28:06.288 --> 00:28:12.553
The Democratic Party's censorship of social media was even more of a naked exercise of executive power.

00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:23.790
This week, a federal judge, terry Doty, upheld my injunction against President Biden, calling the White House's censorship project quote the most egregious violation of the First Amendment in the history of the United States of America.

00:28:23.790 --> 00:28:32.165
Doty's previous 155-page decision details how, just 37 hours after he took the oath of office, swearing to uphold the Constitution.

00:28:32.165 --> 00:28:48.621
President Biden and his White House opened up a portal and then invited the CIA, the FBI, cisa, which is a censorship agency it's the center of the censorship industrial complex DHS, the IRS and other agencies to censor me and other political dissidents on social media.

00:28:48.621 --> 00:28:54.685
Even today, users who try to post my campaign videos to Facebook or YouTube get messages that this content violates community standards.

00:28:54.685 --> 00:29:04.231
Two days after Judge Doty rendered his decision this week, facebook was still attaching warning labels to an online petition calling on ABC to include me in the upcoming debate.

00:29:04.231 --> 00:29:07.048
They said that violates community standards.

00:29:07.048 --> 00:29:14.788
The mainstream media was once the guardian of the First Amendment and democratic principles, and it's joined this systemic attack on democracy.

00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:25.131
It also the media justifies their censorship on the grounds of combating misinformation, but governments and oppressors don't censor lies.

00:29:25.131 --> 00:29:28.767
They don't fear lies, they fear the truth, and that's what they censor.

00:29:28.767 --> 00:29:34.842
And I don't want any of this to sound like a personal complaint, because it's not For me.

00:29:34.842 --> 00:29:38.506
It's all part of a journey and it's a journey that I signed up with.

00:29:38.506 --> 00:29:51.762
But I need to make these observations because I think they're critical for us doing the thing that we need to do as citizens of democracy to assess where we are in this country and what our democracy still looks like, and the assumptions about US leadership around the globe.

00:29:51.762 --> 00:29:53.542
And are we living up?

00:29:53.542 --> 00:29:59.788
Are we really still a role model for democracy in this country, or have we made it a kind of a joke?

00:29:59.788 --> 00:30:10.584
Here's the good news While mainstream outlets denied me a critical platform, they didn't shut down my ideas, which have especially flourished among young voters and independent voters thanks to the alternative media.

00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:14.826
Many months ago, I promised the American people that I would withdraw from the race and I became a spoiler.

00:30:14.826 --> 00:30:18.465
A spoiler is someone who will alter the outcome of the election but has no chance of winning.

00:30:18.465 --> 00:30:26.205
In my heart, I no longer believe that I have a realistic, passive electoral victory in the face of this relentless, systematic censorship and media control.

00:30:26.205 --> 00:30:35.771
So I cannot in good conscience ask my staff and volunteers to keep working their long hours, or ask my donors to keep giving when I cannot honestly tell them that I have a real path to the white house.

00:30:35.771 --> 00:30:51.063
Furthermore, our polling consistently showed that by staying on the ballot in the battleground states, I would likely hand the election over to the democrats, with whom I disagree on the most existential issues censorship, war and chronic disease again, dude.

00:30:52.105 --> 00:31:06.403
That's crazy that this guy is like a classic liberal and he has more in common with modern day conservatives than he does the democratic party well, and I think that's because it's that party has changed so much.

00:31:06.542 --> 00:31:17.722
And what I do like about his thing is like him and Trump disagree about probably just about like most policies, right or?

00:31:17.722 --> 00:31:21.766
Like, like but I'd say I mean he'll talk about it here He'll talk about things he does agree with.

00:31:21.766 --> 00:31:25.729
But but his thing is he's not in the weeds on.

00:31:25.729 --> 00:31:28.541
He's not in the weeds on this policy, that policy.

00:31:28.541 --> 00:31:30.028
He's up higher going.

00:31:30.028 --> 00:31:34.513
No, the whole system is not like he's like.

00:31:34.513 --> 00:31:35.377
Does that function?

00:31:35.397 --> 00:31:35.819
Yeah, he's like.

00:31:36.362 --> 00:31:37.746
I don't want to be a part of this system.

00:31:37.746 --> 00:31:44.327
I don't want to be a part of that and like, and what it has become is just become so, um, corrupt.

00:31:44.327 --> 00:31:46.845
He's like you know, he's like I would.

00:31:46.845 --> 00:31:52.281
It makes more sense to side with the side of democracy.

00:31:52.342 --> 00:32:09.972
In his view, this is the side that's actually going to like, maintain and uphold the, the baseline values, like the fact where, if you see the just most basic thing being you go on a college campus, let one guy start a debate, another guy started a debate, um, one guy's going to be really respectful while people yell and scream at him.

00:32:09.972 --> 00:32:21.652
You know, like, yeah, and it's like well, rfk is like well, I don't like the guy or I don't agree with what the calm guy's saying, but he's not disparaging you and screaming and losing his mind.

00:32:21.652 --> 00:32:24.964
He's having a logical conversation with you and I'd rather be with that guy.

00:32:24.964 --> 00:32:30.505
Sure, even though maybe I agree a little bit with, like, these policies and that's what he's like.

00:32:30.505 --> 00:32:45.616
No, I want to be a part of the group that can think and talk and work stuff out and like, not censor, not be warmongers it's ironic that you use that example in trump maybe not the loudest, but he he does definitely has the best of disses.

00:32:46.378 --> 00:32:47.624
Oh yeah, you know what I mean.

00:32:47.664 --> 00:33:02.509
But, um, no, I agree like it because what it boils down to is like he's a classic liberal and that, like you know, a lot of a lot of people today I don't think remember because they were too young, like a lot of millennials gen z's, unfortunately, I don't think.

00:33:02.588 --> 00:33:23.307
I don't think gen zers know classic liberals like that we knew in our parents or our friends parents, but like I remember my mom growing up and like all my mom's friends and all of her partners, um, they were all like anti, be at war forever.

00:33:23.307 --> 00:33:35.809
They were anti big corporation and they were anti like big corporation foods and like highly processed stuff, you know, and they were.

00:33:35.809 --> 00:33:45.869
They were also like, not necessarily anti-welfare, but they were anti like permanently on welfare right and it was there.

00:33:45.869 --> 00:33:53.567
Like they were, it was all about like very much like enabling the individual to be a part of a, like bettering society.

00:33:53.567 --> 00:34:19.302
Um, and it's crazy to see now like every liberal or democrat I talked to is like super pro us being in everything and at war all the time defending every big major company in anything they do, as long as they have, like you know, a rainbow trans flag on june or a plan for, or green.

00:34:19.322 --> 00:34:29.367
You know if they're green, if they're in the sg company, um, and they're always super pro, uh, like I mean they're.

00:34:29.367 --> 00:34:31.992
They're, they're like going to speak out against like big pharma.

00:34:31.992 --> 00:34:32.914
You know what I mean.

00:34:32.914 --> 00:34:42.920
They're like, oh yeah, you got to take it, you got to get the latest thing, and it's just insane to me, like that's where that party went and like here's someone who's just talking about.

00:34:43.000 --> 00:35:05.273
And like every person I remember being on the Democratic Party as a kid every Democrat, I knew everyone who, I'll say this, I don't even know if they were Democrats, but I'll say everyone who didn't agree with Bush, because that's the first president I remember like consciously, everyone who didn't agree with Bush was like RFK Jr here, right, you know what I mean.

00:35:05.273 --> 00:35:17.987
And now it's like those people are now lumped in with the far right you know what I mean.

00:35:17.987 --> 00:35:19.371
Like they're not democrat.

00:35:19.371 --> 00:35:21.215
It's just crazy to me, um, but yeah, the, the I'm just gonna rewind it five seconds.

00:35:21.215 --> 00:35:35.989
But like the warmongering, the like not being like, uh, like the big pro-corporation pharma, pro-big farming, big manufacturing, like it's crazy that that's what that party is now.

00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:40.505
Disagree on the most existential issues Censorship, war and crime.

00:35:40.525 --> 00:35:41.027
Censorship.

00:35:42.061 --> 00:35:44.409
I want everyone to know that I am not terminating my campaign.

00:35:44.409 --> 00:35:49.331
I am simply suspending it and not ending it.

00:35:49.331 --> 00:35:53.768
My name will remain on the ballot in most states.

00:35:53.768 --> 00:35:59.708
If you live in a blue state, you can vote for me without harming or helping President Trump or Vice President Harris.

00:35:59.708 --> 00:36:01.585
In red states, the same will apply.

00:36:01.585 --> 00:36:27.228
I encourage you to vote for me and if enough of you do vote for me and neither of the major party candidates win 270 votes which is quite possible, in fact, today our polling shows them tying at 269 to 269, and I could conceivably still end up in the White House in a contingent election but in about 10 battleground states where my presence would be a spoiler, I'm going to remove my name and I've already started that process and urge voters not to vote for me.

00:36:28.090 --> 00:36:32.380
It's with a sense of victory and not defeat that I'm suspending my campaign activities.

00:36:32.380 --> 00:36:38.083
Not only did we do the impossible by collecting a million signatures, we changed the national political conversation forever.

00:36:38.083 --> 00:36:43.806
Chronic disease, free speech, government corruption, breaking our addiction to war have moved to the center of politics.

00:36:43.806 --> 00:36:47.331
I can say all of it worked so hard the last year and a half.

00:36:47.331 --> 00:36:49.081
Thank you for a job well done.

00:36:49.081 --> 00:36:52.650
Three great causes drove me to enter this race in the first place.

00:36:52.650 --> 00:37:02.889
Primarily and these are the principal causes that persuaded me to leave the Democratic Party and run as an independent and now to throw my support to President Trump.

00:37:03.891 --> 00:37:07.840
The causes were free speech, war in Ukraine and the war on our children.

00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:13.472
I've already described some of my personal experiences and struggles with the government's censorship industrial complex.

00:37:14.041 --> 00:37:29.173
I want to say a word about the Ukraine war the military industrial complex has provided us with a familiar comic book justification, like they do on every war that this one is a noble effort to stop the supervillain Vladimir Putin from invading the Ukraine and then to thwart his Hitler-like march across Europe.

00:37:29.173 --> 00:37:38.068
In fact, tiny Ukraine is a proxy in a geopolitical struggle initiated by the ambitions of the US, neocons or American global hegemony.

00:37:38.068 --> 00:37:40.407
I'm not excusing Putin for invading Ukraine.

00:37:40.407 --> 00:37:41.088
He had other options.

00:37:41.088 --> 00:37:48.952
The war is Russia's predictable response to the reckless neocon project of extending NATO to encircle Russia a hostile act.

00:37:48.952 --> 00:37:59.311
The credulous media rarely explained to Americans that we unilaterally walked away from two intermediate nuclear weapons treaties with Russia and then put nuclear-ready Aegis missile systems in Romania and Poland.

00:37:59.311 --> 00:38:01.467
This is a hostile, hostile act.

00:38:02.260 --> 00:38:03.164
That's crazy, bro.

00:38:03.164 --> 00:38:06.289
That's crazy that that's like the first time I'm hearing this.

00:38:06.289 --> 00:38:07.643
You know what I mean, bro.

00:38:07.643 --> 00:38:09.889
That's crazy that that's like, sometimes, the first time I'm hearing this, you know.

00:38:09.889 --> 00:38:11.735
I mean like when I watched the speech and I was like wait, what, what, what?

00:38:11.735 --> 00:38:19.454
America declined two nuclear agreements with russia to, america declined two peace agreements between russia and ukraine.

00:38:19.454 --> 00:38:29.831
Wait a second, I didn't, I wasn't aware of that and like, just going through that and then this, like he just named, uh, algeria, and what was the other one, nuclear-ready Aegis missile systems in Romania and Poland.

00:38:29.952 --> 00:38:30.934
Oh, romania and Poland.

00:38:30.934 --> 00:38:33.228
And I was like, did we really put those there?

00:38:33.228 --> 00:38:35.507
I mean, that's closer than Cuba is to the US.

00:38:35.507 --> 00:38:40.445
And I looked it up and I was like, holy shit, everything he's saying is right.

00:38:40.445 --> 00:38:44.992
We were taking insanely aggressive actions as NATO.

00:38:45.460 --> 00:38:49.490
Yeah, like what would we do if someone put, you know, put something in alberta.

00:38:49.490 --> 00:38:59.755
You know if the russians, you know if the if russians are trying to put nuka, yeah, nukes in alberta and like nato was like don't you do anything.

00:39:00.036 --> 00:39:01.239
We'd be like all right, we're coming.

00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:06.375
We're annexing canada in like 60 days, and again I agree with what he's saying.

00:39:06.375 --> 00:39:09.704
Here too, though, like putin had other options, you didn't need to invade.

00:39:09.704 --> 00:39:14.320
But what do you think russia is going to do when you put nukes on its doorstep?

00:39:14.661 --> 00:39:24.063
well, what do you and with to the peace agreements part would be the uh, how do you claim billions of dollars?

00:39:24.063 --> 00:39:29.563
Yeah, no, kidding, you don't have a have a war to push it through well, and he's gonna say something here too.

00:39:29.603 --> 00:39:45.326
That's pretty insane, um, but that the whole point of this is that nato and the us neocons are essentially just a set trying to drain russia of its war assets so that way it can't go to war elsewhere.

00:39:45.326 --> 00:39:47.148
We'll still have its nukes.

00:39:47.148 --> 00:39:48.851
Yeah, that's true.

00:39:49.132 --> 00:39:49.552
Which is like.

00:39:49.574 --> 00:39:54.614
The scary thing is like what do you think Russia's going to do if all of its young men die in a proxy war?

00:39:54.614 --> 00:39:57.929
You back them all in against the wall and you continue pushing them against the wall.

00:39:57.929 --> 00:39:59.639
Do you think like they're going to be like?

00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:03.902
Well, we don't have any young men left to send, I guess we'll start sending bombs.

00:40:05.768 --> 00:40:14.300
It is a hostile, hostile act and that the Biden White House repeatedly spurned Russia's offer to settle this war peacefully.

00:40:15.081 --> 00:40:25.907
The Ukraine war began in 2014, when US agencies overthrew the democratically elected government of Ukraine and installed a hand-picked pro-Western government that launched a deadly civil war against ethnic Russians in Ukraine.

00:40:25.907 --> 00:40:35.728
In 2019, america walked away from a peace treaty the Minsk Agreement that had been negotiated between Russia and Ukraine by European nations, and then, in April of 2022, we wanted the war.

00:40:35.728 --> 00:40:46.989
In April of 2022, president Biden sent Boris Johnson to Ukraine to force President Zelensky to tear up a peace agreement that he and the Russians had already signed, and the Russians were withdrawing troops from Kiev and.

00:40:47.009 --> 00:40:53.717
Donbass and Lugansk, and that peace agreement would have brought peace to the region and would have allowed Donbass and Lugansk to remain part of Ukraine.

00:40:53.717 --> 00:40:57.188
President Biden stated that month that his objective in the war was regime.

00:40:58.460 --> 00:41:00.981
Absolutely insane if you look that up Straight up.

00:41:00.981 --> 00:41:18.780
Boris Johnson did go there and he straight up ripped up the peace treaty after it was signed, which also just makes you think like what, how big is biden's dick to make the prime minister of uk be like hey man, I'm busy this weekend.

00:41:18.780 --> 00:41:22.570
Can you go to russia and rip up that document before they like goes into effect?

00:41:22.570 --> 00:41:24.907
Thanks, that's insane.

00:41:24.907 --> 00:41:29.603
That's some serious strings to be pulling on a prime minister change in russia.

00:41:30.445 --> 00:41:38.543
His defense secretary lloyd austin simultaneously explained that america's purpose in the war was to exhaust the russian army, to degrade its capacity to fight anywhere else in the world.

00:41:38.543 --> 00:41:44.833
These objectives, of course, have nothing to do with what they were telling americans about protecting ukraine's sovereignty.

00:41:44.833 --> 00:41:47.523
Ukraine is a victim in this war and it's a victim of of the west.

00:41:47.523 --> 00:41:51.050
Since then we end of russia, and both Russia and the West.

00:41:51.471 --> 00:42:07.449
Since then we have, since tearing up that agreement, forcing Zelensky to tear up the agreement, we've squandered the flower of Ukrainian youth as many as 600,000 Ukrainian kids and over a hundred thousand Russian kids, none of whom all of whom we should be mourning have died, and Ukraine's infrastructure is destroyed.

00:42:07.449 --> 00:42:09.905
War has been a disaster for our country as well.

00:42:09.905 --> 00:42:16.606
We squandered nearly $200 billion already, and these are badly needed dollars in our communities, suffering communities all over our country.

00:42:16.606 --> 00:42:23.768
The Nord Stream pipeline sabotage and the sanctions have destroyed Europe's industrial base, which formed the bulwark of US national security.

00:42:23.768 --> 00:42:33.960
A strong Germany with a strong industry is a much, much stronger deterrent to Russia and a Germany that is deindustrialized and turned into just an extension of US military base.

00:42:34.641 --> 00:42:37.849
We've pushed Russia into a disastrous alliance with China and Iran.

00:42:37.849 --> 00:42:42.735
We're closer to the brink of nuclear exchange than at any time since 1962.

00:42:42.735 --> 00:42:44.880
And the neocons in the White House don't seem to care at all.

00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:52.668
Our moral authority and our economy are in shambles, and the war gave rise to the emergence of BRICS, which now threatens to replace the dollar as a global reserve currency.

00:42:52.668 --> 00:42:55.592
This is a first-class calamity for our country.

00:42:55.592 --> 00:43:06.570
Judging by her bellicose, belligerent speech last night in Chicago, we can assume that President Harris will be an enthusiastic advocate for this and other neocon military adventures.

00:43:06.570 --> 00:43:12.586
And President Trump says that he will reopen negotiations with President Putin and end the war overnight as soon as he becomes president.

00:43:12.586 --> 00:43:15.590
This alone would justify my support for his campaign.

00:43:16.561 --> 00:43:29.909
Last summer it looked like no candidate was willing to negotiate a quick end to the Ukraine war, to tackle chronic disease epidemic, to protect free speech, our constitutional freedoms, to clean corporate influence out of our government or to defy the neocons and their agenda of endless military adventurism.

00:43:29.909 --> 00:43:37.349
But now one of the two candidates has adopted these issues as his own, to the point where he has asked to enlist me in his administration.

00:43:37.349 --> 00:43:39.407
I'm speaking, of course, of Donald Trump.

00:43:39.407 --> 00:43:46.552
Less than two hours after President Trump narrowly escaped assassination, callie Means called me on my cell phone.

00:43:46.552 --> 00:43:47.454
I was in Las Vegas.

00:43:47.454 --> 00:43:56.030
Callie is arguably the leading advocate for food safety, for soil regeneration and for ending the chronic disease epidemic that is destroying America's health and ruining our economy.

00:43:56.030 --> 00:44:02.963
Gally has exposed the insidious corruption at the FDA, the NIH, the HHS and the USDA that has caused the epidemic.

00:44:02.963 --> 00:44:11.288
