🚨 FACTS: The US Government Turned Ticks into BIOLOGICAL BOMBS – Lyme Disease Was Created In Lab 257 On Plum Island. --Dr Marty Makary, MD 1,300 new daily sufferers deserve truth...the Gov't bioengineered weapons of war thru ticks, mosquitoes, fleas & the ever famous 'rat deer.' Only 1% of Doctors are honest about Lyme Disease as a created bio-weapon & would rather gaslight & ignore their patients suffering. 1,300 Americans get Lyme every single day – a “mystery” illness that exploded right after secret WWII bug-weapon labs. Ticks, fleas & mosquitoes loaded with pathogens. Declassified proof & whistleblower timeline: • 1325 BC – Hittites use tularemia-infected animals/insects as first recorded bioweapon (Medical Hypotheses) • 1939-42 – Japan’s Unit 731 drops plague-flea bombs on China, killing 400K+ (US intel files) • 1944-45 – Nazis test typhus lice on prisoners at Buchenwald (Nuremberg evidence) • 1949 – US Army releases 3M pathogen-tested mosquitoes in Canada – 20% of Eskimo villages wiped out • 1950 – Operation Big Itch: plague-infected fleas dropped over Utah (Dugway reports) • 1954-56 – Operations Big Buzz & Drop Kick: millions of mosquitoes over GA/FL, yellow fever strains prepped nearby (CIA files) • 1962 – CIA drops Q-fever & tularemia ticks on Cuban workers (Church Committee) • 1966-69 – 100K+ radioactive ticks released across US flyways (USDA/DOE docs) • 1968 – First Lyme outbreak, CT – Willy Burgdorfer later admits Plum Island tick experiment released • 1970s – Fort Detrick/Plum Island engineer “stealth” tick weapons (GAO & UN treaty violation reports) 500K+ Lyme cases yearly today are the fallout. They ignored the 1972 Bioweapons Treaty. We’re still living in the fallout. Proven therapies & protocols are slowly healing Lyme sufferers...but it never should have been allowed to happen. Our Government has created & caused endless suffering. #LymeBioweapon #PlumIsland #BiologicalWarfare #alphagal

Speaker 0 discusses Lyme disease origins, asserting it came from lab 257 on Plum Island just outside of Connecticut, 25 miles from Lyme, Connecticut, where the first case was described. He says this with a high degree of probability and points to the book Bitten as a source. He claims that when Nazi war criminal doctors were executed in Nuremberg, at least one was spared and brought to the United States so his mind could be used by the US military for so-called biodefense, and that he was put on Plum Island. He states that this individual openly believed that an incredible form of biowarfare was infecting ticks, and that Lyme disease is what resulted. He then notes that Lyme disease shows up 25 miles away, and adds that this is not the only thing that showed up close by. He claims they found half rat, half deer carcasses in the Hamptons, in the last town Montauk, and that it washed up in Montauk in the nineties. He describes this as evidence of “a bunch of mad scientists” doing things, and asserts that all these people have Lyme disease. Regarding awareness, he asks how many physicians know that it came from lab 257, answering “Approximately one percent.” He comments that people are not honest with themselves, that just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should do it, and that sometimes we can cause more harm than we can good by messing with mother nature.

Speaker 0: How many people have Lyme disease, including people we know? Mhmm. Where does where did Lyme disease come from? I can tell you with a high degree of probability. It came from lab two fifty seven on Plum Island just outside of Connecticut, 25 miles from Lyme, Connecticut, where the first case was described. How how do we know that? First of all, you can read the book Bitten, and it's a great book. When the Nazi war criminal doctors were executed in Nuremberg, at least one of them was spared and brought to The United States so that he could, you know his mind could be used by the US military for so called biodefense. And they put him on Plum Island, and he had said very openly that he believed an incredible form of biowarfare was infecting ticks. That's what Lyme disease is. Then it shows up 25 miles away. And by the way, that's not the only thing that showed up close by. They found half rat, half deer carcasses on in the Hamptons, the last town. Montauk. Montauk. Yeah. It showed washed up in Montauk. This is like in the nineties. What the hell is going on there? Again, a bunch of mad scientists doing things, and we and all these people have Lyme disease. How many physicians know that it came from lab two fifty seven, that Lyme disease came from? Approximately one percent. Right? Because these are things we are we are never honest with ourselves that just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it. And sometimes we can cause more harm than we can good by messing with mother nature.

Thank you for the support. After 19 months on the campaign trail, I feel a strong connection with everyone here, united by our love for this country and our freedom. I left the Democratic Party because it no longer represents the values I grew up with, such as civil rights and skepticism toward corporate power. Instead, it has become a party of division and war. I met with President Trump, who shares a vision to end the chronic disease epidemic affecting our children and restore health to America. We need to root out corruption in our regulatory agencies and ensure informed consent regarding medical treatments. It’s time to reclaim our values, protect our children, and make America healthy and great again. Please vote on Tuesday to support this vision.

Speaker 0: Andrew. Andrew. Thank you. I smell a landslide on Tuesday. I've been on the road for 19 months now, and A little over a little a little over. Thank you. Thank you, MAGA. I lost a lot of friends and a lot of family, but, I have a much bigger family now. And we're all held together by blood, by DNA, and that is our basic relationships in our lives. But the most important relationships come from shared values. And everybody in this auditorium shares the value. They love this country and they love freedom. And they love our bill of rights and our constitution. And I saw those things in danger in a very acute way during the COVID pandemic. And that is one of the principal reasons that I made the decision 19 months ago to run for president of the United States. And then a little over a year ago, I left the Democratic Party. That was that was a difficult decision for me because the democratic party was a home for me that it was incomprehensible to me that I would ever leave it. My my great great grandparents came over here, all of them in 18/48 during the height of the potato famine. They landed on the docks of Boston penniless and they were met there by the Democratic party. And the party took care of them. It found them homes. It found them jobs. It located them in communities. It was where their churches were, and it gave them a sense of value and community and a love for this country. And my great grandfather, Honey Fitz, was the first Irish Catholic mayor of Boston. His contemporary Patrick Kennedy was the was a state senator and a political boss in Boston. My uncle John Kennedy was the first Irish Catholic president. My uncle Ted Kennedy was the longest 2nd longest serving member of the United States Senate. My father was a US Senator and attorney general and died running for president of the United States. And it was inconceivable to me that I would ever leave the democratic party. But I didn't leave the democratic party. The democratic party left me. The Democratic party that I grew up with was the party of peace. It was the party of civil rights and constitutional rights and particularly freedom of speech. It was the party that had skepticism toward the CIA and the national security state. It was the party that was also skeptical of Wall Street and the corporate domination of American democracy. It was the party of women's rights. My uncle Ted Kennedy wrote title 9. Make sure that women could play sports in college. And it was the party of democracy. It was the party that fought hard to make sure that every American had the right to vote for the candidate that they chose to vote for. Today's democratic party is the party of war. It's the party of Dick Cheney. It's the party it's the party of John Bolton. He these were the people who lied us into the Iraq war. The greatest foreign policy cataclysm in American history. It was these are the men who wrote the Patriot Act that introduced the surveillance state. And gave the CIA permission to spy on Americans, to propagandize Americans. Thank you. It's the party that is trying to dismantle title 9 and let and let men play women's sports. The party I grew up with was the party of cops and firefighters and working people. And now that's the Republican Party. The Democratic Party today is no longer the party that is skeptical of the CIA. The CIA and the neocons wrote Kamala Harris's speech at the democratic convention. The most bellicose pugnacious speech that we've ever seen at a democratic convention. Before she went on, she was immediately preceded by a former CIA director. This is would be unthinkable in the democratic party I grew up in. They've become the party of the swamp. They've become Freedom. The party of Wall Street, a big tech, a big data, A big pharma. A big ag. Big chemical. And the military industrial complex. And their party not of civil rights but of division that is tearing our country apart. And so, I made a decision to run for president in 19 months ago. A little over a year ago, I left the Democratic party for all of those reasons. And then in August of the of August of this year, President Trump called me on August 23rd immediately after his shooting at Butler. He called me 3 hours later on the telephone and he asked me to meet with him the next day in Milwaukee. And we had a 2 and a half hour meeting then and a number of subsequent meetings. And during those meetings, he urged me to unify our parties and to work with him To to reclaim the values that Robert Kennedy stood for, that John Kennedy stood for. He said he he wanted to end the forever wars and bring that 200,000,000,000 that we've sent to the Ukraine home to rebuild America. He told me that he wanted to end the censorship and end the surveillance and the propaganda and that he wanted to end put an end to the weaponization of law enforcement agencies against the American political system. And that he wanted to end this corrupt merger of state and corporate power that has turned our regulatory agencies predatory against the American public. And he said they wanted to make America healthy again And end the chronic disease epidemic that is destroying our children and that is an existential threat to our nation. When my uncle was president and I was a 10 year old boy, the rate of chronic disease in this country was 6%. Today, it's 60%. When my uncle was president, we spent 0 on chronic disease in this country. There were no drugs to treat it. Today, we spend $4,300,000,000,000. We need you, baby. 4.3 trillion. That's 5 times our military budget. It's the largest cost to our nation and it is bankrupting us. And it is destroying us morally. Because we are betraying our children by letting these industries poison them. The rate the rate of obesity at that time was 3%. Today, it's 50% in our children. And it's 7074 percent of Americans are obese or overweight. We didn't suddenly become lazy and gluttonous, we are being mass poisoned by corrupt industry. In Japan, where they don't have this kind of corruption, the obesity rate is 3%. That's what it's supposed to be, 3%. It's not supposed to be 50 percent and this is a national security threat. 77% of American kids are no longer qualified for military service because of chronic disease diagnosis. And what are these diseases? They're obesity, they're neurodevelopment disorders and I'm gonna list some of them because I'm a 70 year old man. And when I was a boy, I never heard of any of these diseases because nobody had them. I had 11 siblings. I had about 70 first cousins and I didn't know anybody with ADD, ADHD, speech delay, language delay, sleep disorders, Tourette syndrome, narcolepsy, ASD or autism. The autism rate in my generation today in 70 year old man is 1 in 10,000. The autism rate in our children is 1 in 34. In California, as Cali just said, it's 1 in 24. And the rate in boys is much higher. We also saw this explosion of autoimmune disease like rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease and lupus and juvenile diabetes. All of these exotic diseases that we never heard of as a kid. The diabetes rate when I was a kid was effectively 0. A typical pediatrician when I was a young boy would see one case of diabetes in his lifetime, in his career, a 40 or 50 year career. Today, one out of every 3 children who walks through his office door is diabetic or pre diabetic. And, nobody is talking about it. Nobody is saying anything. Nobody is recognizing that we are being mass poisoned by big pharma and big food. And all these allergic diseases that suddenly appeared. I never knew a kid anywhere in any of the schools that I went to that had a peanut allergy or food allergies or eczema. My brother had asthma and he was told by his doctor there will never be a cure for asthma because it's so rare that nobody will ever study it. Today, one out of every 8 black children in America's cities has asthma. What is happening to our children? And I saw this happening and I began writing about it and the media rose up and silenced me in 2,005. And nobody would talk about it. The doctors wouldn't talk about it. The pediatricians wouldn't talk about it. The scientists, the government officials. And people warned me, if you keep talking about this, you're going to destroy your career. And I was stunned by this. And for 19 years since 2005, I spent 30 minutes praying every day when I get out of bed And I And my prayer is this, I asked God for 19 years to put me in a position where I could end the chronic disease epidemic and bring health back to our children. And in August, god sent me Donald Trump. Now we're 5 days out from an election and it's an election that we are certain to win. If every vote is counted, if all the votes are counted, we are gonna win this election. Oh, now the medical industrial complex. And I wanna remind you of this. I've been told to go on a little longer because because president Trump is not yet in the building. Oh, you know? Oh, so I gotta tell you this. When I when I was when I was 7 years old, my I went to the inauguration of my uncle as president in Washington, D. C. And 3 days before that, President Eisenhower, the outgoing president, made what today we have to regard as the most important speech in American history. And it was the speech where he told Americans that they should be in fear of the emergence of a military industrial complex that would erode our democracy, that would subvert our democratic institutions, that would steal our money and steal our resources and bankrupt the middle class in this country and make us weak in the long run. And I urge you to go look at that speech because after he talks about the military industrial complex, he says, and by the way, just as bad is the medical industrial complex, which will prefer science, which will lie to the public, which will turn science to serve industrial and corporate interest, the mercantile ambitions of big corporations. Oh. Oh. As soon as Donald Trump started talking about giving me the power. He asked me to do three things. He asked me to root out the corruption. And end the conflicts of interest in our regulatory agencies. And end this corporate capture that has turned our regulatory agencies into sock puppets, the industries they're supposed to regulate. And, he asked me to restore the tradition of gold standard, empirically based, evidence based science in medicine in our regulatory agencies. And to restore the transparency So that these agencies have to must stop hiding science from us when it clashes with the commercial ambitions of the of the pharmaceutical industry. And he doesn't want me to take vaccines away from people. If you wanna take a vaccine, you ought to be able to take it. We believe in free choice in this country. Well, you ought to know the risks and benefits of everything you take. And we need good science for that. And we need informed consent. And he asked me to do that, and then he asked me to end the chronic disease epidemic in this country. And he said and he said, I wanna see results, measurable results, in the diminishment of chronic disease within 2 years. And I said, mister president, I will do that. Oh. Oh, this has caused a lot of aggravation and apoplexy among a certain class of the medical elites. And today, the Washington Post, and NBC, and the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal, all did articles Talking about what a catastrophe it's gonna be if I get anywhere near the medical establishment. And I read the articles because I wanted to see the names of the people who were denouncing me. And every one of them is on the form of payroll. These are what the media calls experts. But these are the same experts that made us the sickest country in the history of the world. Whatever they're doing is not working. We had during this country, these are the guys who gave us the COVID countermeasures, which shut down our schools, which closed our churches, Which shut down 3,300,000 businesses in this country. All the little businesses and they left open the Walmarts and Facebook and all of the big people who were cashing in on the pandemic. And, these are the people who are treating disease for them, for these people. The most valuable asset in America is a sick child. They don't want your child dead. They want him sick for life. Then, he's depend on their products. And every and the more statins they prescribe for heart disease, the more heart disease goes up. The more metaphor they prescribe for diabetes, the more diabetes we have. The more antidepressants they prescribe, more people we have who are depressed. The more ambient they describe, the more insomnia there is. The more opioids they they prescribe, the more pain there is. The more viagra they prescribe, a higher e d goes. And, so, these drugs, their formula, this pharmaceutical paradigm is not working and president Trump wants to do something different. And somebody called me one of the anchors of ABC today. And I had an off the record discussion with him. And he said, there's so much division in this country. And I said, that's because you're causing it. My nephew who's traveled with me for 19 months. He's my wife Cheryl's nephew. And he's been working for me for 19 months and traveled everywhere with me. And he's met president Trump many times now. And he said to me today, he said, everybody who's met president Trump loves president Trump. He said, you can't help but love him. So why does half of America hate him? They haven't met him and the media is telling them to hate him. And I said this, I said, you're demonizing him, you're vilifying him, you're calling us garbage, you're calling him Hitler, you're calling him a fascist and of course people are gonna hate him. And I said, and by the way, you're writing all these articles condemning me coming into washing and dismantling the pharmaceutical paradigm. Where are you getting your salary? From pharma. And he said, We tell both sides of the story. And I said, No, you don't. And, he said, well, president Trump is saying radical things. I said, like what? He said, he's gonna pull he said, he's gonna pull CBS's license. And I said he ought to pull CBS's license. CBS doesn't own the airwaves, we do. The people of the United States own the airwaves. CBS is licensed to use the airwaves but only for a public purpose to advance the public benefit. We have a doctrine in this country called the fairness doctrine that says, if you if you're running if you're licensed to own a network, you gotta tell the news at least once a day and you gotta be fair to both sides. And I I said to this guy, I said, you know, I was running for 19 months. When when Ross Perot ran in 1992 for for 10 months, He did 34 live interviews on on the airwaves, on on the national networks. And I said, I did 4 in 19 months and your network never let me on a single time. You're only telling one side of the story. And you are you're The only thing you'll report about Donald Trump is propaganda to make people despise him. And you know, one of the things I'm gonna advise, Donald Trump to do in order to correct the chronic disease epidemic is to ban pharmaceutical advertising on TV. There's only there's only 2 countries in the world that allow pharmaceutical advertising on the airwaves. One of them is New Zealand and the other is us. And we have the highest disease rate and we buy more drugs and they're more expensive than anywhere in the world. Italy spends about 1 sixth that we spend on on healthcare and they and Italians live 7 years longer. So, whatever they're doing does not work. And don't you want a president who is gonna fix this country? Don't you want a president who's gonna end the addiction to foreign wars? And and don't you want a president who's gonna end their censorship and surveillance and return freedom of speech to our country? And don't you want a president who's gonna clean out the corruption and drain the swamp at the regulatory aid? And get the chemicals out of our food and protect our children and restore their health and make America the healthiest country in the world, which it was when I was a kid. Don't you want a president who's gonna make America healthy again? And don't we deserve a president who will make America great again? And will you go to the polls on Tuesday and make sure that we all ride that big garbage truck to Washington DC.

The Biden administration's influence led Ukraine to abandon a peace deal with Russia, resulting in significant loss of territory and lives. The U.S. has prioritized control over Ukraine's resources and financial gains for hedge funds over genuine support for the Ukrainian people. There's a growing concern about the lack of a clear endgame in ongoing conflicts, leading to rising debt and civilian casualties. The conversation highlights the troubling intersection of foreign policy and domestic implications, including censorship and the erosion of democratic principles. The discussion emphasizes the urgent need for accountability and a reevaluation of priorities to protect both national security and civil liberties.

Speaker 0: So this is a tweet from I don't normally read people's tweets, but in standing with Ukraine, the Biden Harris administration convinced them, Ukraine, to abandon a peace deal that would have ceded only half of the territory that Russia now occupies. And for that opportunity to lose twice as much of their homeland, they paid with tens of thousands of innocent lives. We did this to control the 11,000,000,000,000 of minerals under the Donbas. We did it to grind down the Russian war machine on the grist of Ukrainian teenagers. We did it to hand out 100 of 1,000,000,000 of dollars to US hedge funds who are, as we speak, carving up rights to Ukraine's fertile soil and vast mineral resources. The truth is the United States has never stood with the people of Ukraine. That is simply a jingle, an ad campaign broadcast to those who have never been there, designed to to sell taxpayers on the appeal of prolonging war for profit. We have cost Ukraine her territory. We have cost Ukraine her children. The war hawks and the bankers are no friends to Ukraine. Woah. I was applauding as I read that. Alone in my truck. Speaker 1: I mean, it's a horror. It's a horror, and we are I we just allocated another 100,000,000,000. I mean, it's and where is the endgame? Speaker 0: How did you get here? How did you get I mean, I you're we're from, you know, the same city, basically, and you were a CI officer, and you're just from a world in which that is an extremely unpopular, never uttered sentiment. How did you get to that? Speaker 1: Well, part of it is pattern recognition. Right? I mean Yeah. We we have done this before. And, you know, it's just how many times can you wade through years years of a war with absolutely no stated endgame and and dwindling public support and mounting civilian casualties and disintegrating homeland because all of your money is being spent, you know, fueling weaponry to blow up over foreign skies, and continue to print more money to pay for it? And the answer the last time around was 20 years. And I I wanna make sure it's not again because, you know, here we are at $33,000,000,000,000 worth of debt, and we're now paying more on those interest payments every year than we are on defense. Completely unsustainable, and most importantly are the human lives. Yes. Tens of thousands of people who won't, you know, proverbially dance at their children's wedding Speaker 0: That's right. Speaker 1: And see the sunrise and drink a cup of coffee. And it's just that part of it is completely lost. And when you when you hear our generals and our political leaders saying, don't you understand this is a great thing? We are achieving the strategic aim of, diminishing Russian military reserves, and we don't even have to put a person on the ground. You know, what they are saying is that those Ukrainian children and now, you know, old men and anyone else that they can put up against the front line are lesser children of God than our own that we would send over there. And, you know, that doesn't fly with me. So Speaker 0: It's repugnant. Yeah. And I know you don't wanna talk about yourself, but I'm because I do I think I understand your background pretty well. I just I'm fascinated by the fact that you are saying this and that no one, very few people in the world from which, honestly, we both come, are saying anything like this. And so what what how did how did you reach this conclusion? Of course, it's pattern recognition. You're saying it's common sense. Like, how could you not reach this conclusion? I agree with you. But how is it that almost no one else in Washington is saying anything like this? Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I wish they would, and I think some of them are seeing it, you know, in the privacy of their own conversations. But I came to it, you know, after 911, there was kind of a suspension of opposition to war in our country that Speaker 0: Yes. Speaker 1: You know, maybe has has never let up. I mean, there's some recognition now that that poor choices were made there. But in the moment when, you know, France was objecting and we decided to call French fries freedom fries and, Speaker 0: you Speaker 1: know, the there was a a a real hunger for war. Speaker 0: And I remember gleefully participating in that to my shame. Yes. Speaker 1: It it was a collective psychosis maybe or grieving process or you know? And for me, I'd just 911 happened as I was going into my last year, at university, and I I went to Oxford overseas, and it started in October, so I was home for it. My mom lived in DC at the time. And I had a whole plan. I was gonna go to to Thailand after graduation and do human rights journalism, and I sort of had a background there and on the Tiberius border before, before school. And everything changed as it did for so many in our generation, I think, on September 11th. And for me, I I had lost one of my best friends in 3rd grade, on the flight that blew up over Lockerbie, Scotland, and it brought a lot of that back. And I think hearing the war drums beating, for me, I hadn't, oddly enough, heard much about the intelligence world. I mean, I didn't I didn't know many of the things that I know now. I don't think I probably would have gone into it if I had, but I liked the idea of a kind of a secret diplomatic service. I like the idea that rather than conduct an incredibly expensive kinetic war, expensive both in terms of lives and treasure, that you could find out about something before it happened and prevent the attack from happening in the first place, which, admittedly, was a kind of naive early twenties understanding of of the intelligence business. But at its best, you know, that is what it does or what it intends to do. I think where they get into tremendous trouble is I'm tempted to say mission creep, but, actually, it was kind of built in to the entire OSSCA history. But it's when rather than going in and actually reporting what is happening in every corner of the world, they are making it happen. Speaker 0: Yes. So it's not really intelligence gathering. It's a it's a kind of secret military. Speaker 1: Right. I mean, rather than reporting that a coup is about to take place, you know for absolute sure it's about to take place. Speaker 0: Right. Speaker 1: And, that has but not worked out in 100% of cases as far as I can tell. And, and yet, again, we never learn our lesson. I mean, you look at what's happening in the Middle East now, you know, what, 70 years on, post Mosaddegh, and every oh, if only we had a democratically elected leader in Iran. We did. You know? And people may or may not agree with with each of these governments, but they are for the people of each country to work through. We had our own revolution in this country. It was a very important, you know, stealing of our national values, and I think you have to go through that yourself. And I I worry in Iran that we're, you know, hearing the beginnings of that again with this kind of royalist sentiment, monarchist sentiment of, you know, well, the human rights abuses there are so egregious that anything would be justified, and it it just it does no one any favors. Speaker 0: So, I mean, what you're describing is conceptual corruption, like a corruption of of first principles. If the point of your foreign policy is to spread democracy, you can't end democracy in the name of I mean, you just that's that's insane, and no one says that. Speaker 1: Yeah. Unless you're the Democratic Party in the United States these days who seem to be, you know, have cut their teeth on ending democracy to save it overseas and now are practicing the same theory here in the United States where they've told us for the last 2 years, you know, Donald Trump is such a threat to democracy that we must stage a palace coup, you know, replace our candidate with someone who hasn't received a single vote, undermine every other candidate of our own party and every other party in the courts, censor American citizens, undermine the constitution, all in order to save democracy. So I think what we what we reap overseas, we sow it or what we sow overseas, we reap at home, and we're in the midst of that. Speaker 0: Does seem like our foreign policy drives our domestic policy or that there isn't actually much of a domestic policy. There's not a great concern about what happens in the United States in Washington. I have noticed I came to this over 40 years of watching, but, it that maybe was inevitable. If you start overthrowing democratically elected governments abroad, why wouldn't over time you think that's acceptable in your own country? Speaker 1: Acceptable, maybe even noble. I mean, you know, the lies people tell themselves in order to persist with what is ultimately an incredibly profitable business model. But, also, you know, if your end is stability and you tell yourself that stability requires control, you know, and that there need to be small short term sacrifices, and I think we really are seeing that bear out in our domestic politics, where, increasingly, I'm seeing the First Amendment as an obstacle. Does the constitution, you know, actually serve us? These kinds of questions and articles coming out in the media and Democratic leaders, and I think it really is a symptom of what we have been spreading around the world. And the results are plain to see. You know, I mean, we had more Americans slip into poverty over the last 2 years than, I think, any year in the last 50. We've our nuclear clock, you know, we've ticked closer to midnight than at any time since its creation in 1947. More more people died around the world in the first two years of Biden Harris from war and violence than in all 4 years of Donald Trump, what the I I think people don't really recognize, and not even just because of Ukraine, even if you take Ukraine out of it. And so I think that, you know, the insecurity that that we see there and then the fact that at home, we have more children living in poverty than any rich nation except for Romania. Our life expectancy sits right above Algeria's. You know, in the 19 nineties, if you were born in the United States, you could expect to live as long as in any other pure nation, and now you die 6 years earlier. You know, 6 years of hanging out with your grandchildren and watching the sunrise on your porch has just been robbed through absolute, utter lack of leadership on Yeah. Domestic health priorities. And and I it's really time for a shakeup. Speaker 0: Everything you said is, so nicely put and true. I wonder because you know a lot of the, you know, you know, a lot of the people operating our current foreign policy, and you worked at one of the agencies prosecuting that foreign policy. Like, did you detect these attitudes when you worked there? When you worked at CIA, did you get the sense that people felt it would be okay to interfere in domestic politics in the US? Speaker 1: Well, they were sure keen on doing it in other countries and used a lot of the same tactics. I never witnessed any tendency to do it in the US at all, but it also you know, I was working very specifically around I worked a UK liaison and then worked operationally on nonproliferation, but specifically within the context of non state actors. So very focused overseas, watch the exact same playbook of going in, finding underfunded, newspapers and radio stations and TV shows. You know, a benefactor would arrive with funding, and all of a sudden, you know, that mouthpiece is is presenting stories in a light that, you know, aligns with US foreign policy or the the preferences of of whatever leader is in power here. And I think that we are seeing that across the board in media except for new media like this, and that's been a godsend. So Speaker 0: you you think that we're seeing federal agencies, intel agencies, influencing American media surreptitiously? Speaker 1: Absolutely. I don't think that it's in as, I mean, I doubt they're actually investors. There there are layers of this. Right? I mean, you see at the most basic level, it's, you run the story for me, and I'll give you the best tip the next time that I have a leak, right, which is the oldest exchange in the world. Well, maybe the second oldest. And I've Speaker 0: seen it. Speaker 1: And it goes on, you know, every day. But there's no doubt that there are also actual formal sources throughout the media and always have been. You know? Speaker 0: What does that mean, a formal source in the media? Speaker 1: I mean, you know, an asset, somebody that would be paid by intelligence organizations to, to work on their behalf, play stories on their behalf, and, of course, that happens, you know, all across the world. Speaker 0: But when it happens in the United States, then it's the end of democracy, of course. Speaker 1: Well, look. I mean, we have CISA operating basically a Jira ticketing system for any tweet that the White House chooses to that they would like to see deleted even if it's in jest, even if it's satire. They just put it in the ticketing space. Speaker 0: What CISA is? Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, what's interesting about CISA is that it, you know, it's a a part of the Department of Homeland Security, but it's supposed to protect our our nation's infrastructure from terror attacks. And at the beginning of the Biden administration, a decision was made that information is infrastructure. Speaker 0: Oh, it is now, is it? Speaker 1: Which has, you know, an Orwellian tang to it. And as a result, in order to secure it, you know, CISA was quietly empowered with the ability, sometimes directly and sometimes through NGO cutouts, to present to all the social media companies and Wikipedia and Amazon, any content that was flagged as concerning. And they they you know, BOLO alerts went out beyond the lookout, And they held weekly meetings and said, you know, here here put put an enormous amount of financial pressure on these companies saying, you know, that their legal protections, from liability would be withdrawn if they didn't cooperate, naming and shaming them if they took, you know, longer than a week to respond on something from the podium in the White House. And Mark Zuckerberg has, you know, spoken publicly and and written about the degree of pressure that he felt to censor American people, and we're now seeing UK's Labour Party doing the exact same thing here in our own country, which is, you know, in some ways, more egregious and, and in other ways, Speaker 0: you know, it's just not mean to Speaker 1: So UK, the labor party, which is currently in power in the UK, has a series of NGOs that it funds and directs, that have waged war on free speech, especially, what they call Twitter under Musk or Musk's Twitter, that they have gone into multiple offices, Amy Klobuchar, Kamala Harris, and said, you know, that they want to participate in and provide support for destroying Musk's Twitter. And, you know, this is Speaker 0: Wait. They would be the dreaded foreign actor interfering in our democracy. Correct? That we're always hearing so much about it. Turns out to be the Brits. Speaker 1: Turns out to be the Brits, you know, and many others. Right? But there is nobody's fighting them because labor has just sent, you know, I think, 30 people over to campaign for Kamala Harris. Speaker 0: Is that legal? That seems like foreign interference in our Speaker 1: Evidently, their their approach is that as long as you're not donating money as if you're out on the if you're out on the campaign trail volunteering, then it's legal. But, you know, certainly unwise, in my opinion, because, you know, if president Trump wins this election, which he's looking very likely to do right now, You know, it it it's it's an improper way to conduct foreign relations. Right? You don't go to another country and campaign for a particular candidate for office. Speaker 0: Yeah. Or try and shut down their most basic rights. Speaker 1: I mean, the first amendment, as everybody always says, it's first for a reason. The constitution, you know, was written a decade later, but largely in response to our secession from Great Britain to come and to meddle with that constitution, in our own country. And, of course, this follows suit, with some of the challenges that we're seeing free speech face in the United Kingdom, where people are being thrown in prison for 10 months, for 2 years, and so forth for, for social media posts. For talking? Speaker 0: Yeah. You're half English. You're educated heavily in English. Speaker 1: I love England. And and and by the way, that does not reflect England, or or Great Britain. It is a a very small group of leaders there who've aligned themselves with a very small group of leaders here in the same way that censorship and and undermining the constitution does not reflect the American people, and yet our leaders persist in doing it. Speaker 0: So, Are you are you surprised as you look across and see what's happening there? Speaker 1: I am. I mean, I I have a law degree, from Oxford on you know, in English law, and it was always clear that, you know, it's not a written constitution. It's much more based in precedent, but that there is a deep and abiding respect, going back to the Magna Carta, for, civil liberties. And the idea that an a flood of immigration, which, you know, we must take a measure of accountability for because largely, our going into Iraq was was what began that entire shift in the demographics of Europe, would have such an impact. Speaker 0: It's fall in the northeast, and that means grouse season. I got up at 5 AM yesterday to take my dogs out to hunt for some rough grouse. And before I left, I went to my safe to pull out my grandmother's 28 gauge. Yes. My grandmother was a bird hunter. Where do I keep that treasured possession? I keep it in a Liberty safe. For over 35 years, hunters have trusted Liberty Safes to keep their firearms safe and secure, and we do to this day in my house. Liberty Safes are made by American Craftsmen right here in the United States. It's a product we believe in. It is a product you use to hide and protect the things you care about most, the things you would least like to see stolen. So, it's a special deal for all of you who hunt out there. Liberty is offering exclusive promotion for our viewers for the month of October. Go to liberty safe.com/tucker and place one of their best selling safes in your cart, use the promo code Tucker at checkout for a great discount. That's liberty safe dot com slash Tucker, promo code Tucker at checkout for a special deal in October, which, by the way, is bird hunting month. With Liberty Safe, you are always protected. Because esketopause are going into Iraq is what set off the demographic shift in Europe. Yeah. I'd that's, of course, true beyond debate, but I think it's underappreciated. Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. We broke the world for I used to say we broke the world for 20 years, but here we are, and I think, you know, the the ramifications we're continuing to deal with. And they, you know, they they compound because as a result of of that, you know, we have Brexit. We have many of the pressures that have led, to the Ukraine war. And as a result of that, we're facing, I think, really unprecedented dangers in this country that are also greatly underappreciated, and we will respond to if they happen. And I think that escalatory cycle is what keeps us trapped in in the bad decision making. And, you know, I remember at the time in Iraq, it was, you know, 6 months, we'll be out. They'll greet us as heroes, and the same thing was said in Ukraine, and we find ourselves in these quagmires without realizing that, yes, there's a body count. And by the way, that is generally largely lied about and hidden. Speaker 0: Oh, for sure. Speaker 1: But then there's this vastly higher body count of those whose lives have been uprooted and who have either died early as a result of, you know, migration or dust of despair. This is the same with lockdowns, and those numbers are incredibly hard to ever even peg down. And when you look at the 1,000,000 and 1,000,000 displaced I mean, Brown University pegs the the global war on terrorism as having killed or led to the deaths of 800,000 civilians. And that goes so far beyond what the US will will speak to, and then the the those that were forced to migrate are in the many millions. And when you take homogeneous you know, Europe is of is Balkanized, but each of each element there is accustomed to being very homogeneous. Speaker 0: And Those are the indigenous populations Yeah. Of the continent. Speaker 1: Right. And when, you know, when I was in when I was at Georgetown, at I did, my master's at the school of foreign service there, and the the focus of my thesis was trying to get very quantitative about predicting terrorism because at the time, it was a very squishy subject. It was post 911, and it was mostly qualitative the way people were describing it. And one of the one of the closest corollaries that I could find to being, predictive was the ratio between hookah bars and madrasas, but not just the ratio, the rate at which it changed. And that is, I think, deeply underappreciated. It's not that they don't necessarily plan to, at some point, have their demographics look different. Speaker 0: Right. But when Speaker 1: it's forced so quickly Yes. That nobody can absorb The pace of change matters. Speaker 0: It matters. We can't metabolize it. People are not designed for this pace of change at all. Speaker 1: It really, really matters. Whatever you know, that's it. That madrasa bars and, hookah bars are, in the Middle Eastern context. But when you look at what we're experiencing in the US, where you have kids who've just come back from a pandemic then being sent home again to do Zoom school so that their classrooms can be used to house migrants or, you know, hotels all being shut for the same purpose while veterans sleep under bridges on the streets. It's the scale of it and the the deluge is what makes it impossible for any society to absorb, and that doesn't make it, you know, that doesn't make it racist. It doesn't make it wrong. It it's human nature to need time, and and the nature of economies and societies to need time to be able to expand and adapt. And I think our going into Iraq Afghanistan a little bit, though, in the early days, that was actually pretty well managed before it before it sprawled. But 2003, I think, was really the beginning of this era where we were shifting you know, we're talking about a rules based order and breaking every single rule in that rules based order and then having utter disregard for the social chaos that was resulting. Speaker 0: Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. And and people's need, which is inherent, for order and predictability and continuity in their lives and their communities. When I was talking about communities, nobody actually cares about communities. They'll blow them up, in a heartbeat. So can I just ask you about I've there's so many threads, but, just to get back to what drew you into this kind of amazing life that you've lived, which was 911? I don't understand I sincerely don't understand, maybe you do, why 23 years later when, you know, every regime in place in 2001 is now different, including the Saudi government Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 0: Why we would have so many classified documents from that time. What what's the excuse for that? I don't get that at all. Speaker 1: I mean, why do we still have classified documents from the sixties? Speaker 0: Oh, I completely agree. But because 911 was, you know, was the world changing event of our lifetimes, I think it's fair to say in retrospect. I I I don't understand the justification for that. And I don't know why nobody demands, like, why not declassify it? Like, why shouldn't it's our country. All these people died. We should know. Speaker 1: Right. And I and I I agree entirely, and I agree. I I mean, the same applies for the sixties. I think, ultimately, you know, when most Americans go to work for a third of their working week, they are working for the government. They're working they are taking that money, having spent the day away from their families, sacrificing whatever they would prefer to be doing, and they don't get to keep any of it. They turn it all over to the government. The government works for the people directly. I mean, they are directly paid by the people. And if your boss asks what you've been doing and, you know, you say, sorry. I can't tell you it's classified, it doesn't cut it. You know? And, you know, are there are there moments where, you know, the actual identity of a source who's, you know, preventing nuclear war with the Russians is at stake? Sure. But they're actually quite few and far between. And, you know, I think there is a bureaucratic inertia here. Some of it is some of it is CYA, and some of it is, you know, probably more nefarious than that. But there is also a lot of bureaucratic inertia, and it's one of the reasons I'm excited about the prospect of Elon getting in there, but to to do some surgery on on some of that bureaucracy. But, you know, CIA 101, when you start, you have this 1 week, you know, fill out your tax forms, get the same as you would with any other job, like, nothing sexy about it at all. There is just here's the insurance program, and and the person who's gonna work in, you know, the coffee shop is sitting next to someone who's about to go down to the farm. It's just everybody goes through it. And the email client that you use there looks a lot like Gmail. I mean, it's provided by Google, and it has all the normal fields and then an additional field that's for, for classification. And it's a a drop down menu, and it when it first drops down, it's all checkboxes with their own, you know, sub subsets. And it's hundreds of different classifications, all different numbers and codes. And you can hover over them, and they say when to use them. But but there are a lot. And we were told in that first day, you know, in that first, course, You know, just to make it easy on yourself, pick HCS 404, checkbox it, hit save as favorites. It'll come up every time, and then you don't have to worry about it. Well, that's, you know, human compartmented sensitive information. It's usually reserved for, you know, the actual identity or address or identifying details of a source that whose life could be in danger for what they're doing. And yet, here, it's being used for, you know, I'll meet you at 4:30 at Dunkin' Donuts and everything in between, good and bad, nefarious and not. And the problem with that is that it is completely exempt from any declassification threshold ever. And as a result of this kind of administrative tweak, which was is either just to save people time or maybe to, you know, reduce the number of things that will ever eventually be published. Now you have class after class after class of CIA officers that, you know, just chronically make sure that every single email they ever write will never see the light of day. And I think that is being done across government. Speaker 0: So, literally, the default is secrecy from the public? Speaker 1: Yep. The default is you will never know. You never know how much money was spent, what it was spent on, whether it was legal, you know, whether you spent that Tuesday away from your family working to pay taxes, and those taxes went to kill someone or went to save someone's life. There's no no accountability. Speaker 0: And there's no way to know. Speaker 1: And there's no way to know. And there could be. Right? I I have a lot of respect for for the role of intelligence agencies in saving lives and in preventing conflict and attacks. I think they're actually far more valuable in that than many people realize because they have so sullied their name by getting into all kinds of other business that that they shouldn't be doing. But there is a very valuable role for them. And in that, there are some things that do, you know, need to remain secret. But 20 years later, 40 years later, 60 years later, you know, that then it becomes about, quote, unquote, preserving trust in our institutions. Right? Speaker 0: Continuing to lie to you. Speaker 1: You know, code for, if you knew what we did then, you would shut us down now. You know? And Speaker 0: Is it I assume that's the motive behind continuing to classify documents from 1963 in the Kennedy's Speaker 1: Well, it's sure not sources and methods. Right? I mean, if it is, then, you know, we've got Speaker 0: we need to update our Speaker 1: sources and methods. Our sources and methods. But it there it's not. I mean, from time to time, they they will say this is about protecting allies. Of course, I think we would all wanna know if if there were allies or any other nation states involved in what happened in the sixties or what happened in 911. So protecting anyone above the American people who you work for doesn't really make a lot of sense. Speaker 0: They'll actually say it's to protect allies. Speaker 1: Well, not about a specific operation, but as a reason for long term classification when pushed. Yeah. Speaker 0: That's pretty outrageous that they would admit that. Speaker 1: I mean Speaker 0: So the interest of a foreign country are more important than the interest of the American people? Speaker 1: I think their I think their kind of argument would be, if I were to steel man it, eventually, the American people will be protected by something that we need from that ally, some kind of, you know, security collaboration or whatever we might need down the road, and therefore, you know, we must keep that relationship strong. And, again, if it is the identity of somebody who's working with you, whose family is gonna be in danger, that is absolutely true. And maybe that's still true 40 years later. You know, it's possible that it is in certain circumstances. But Speaker 0: How about how about 61 years later? Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, less and less likely. Speaker 0: What do you think that's about? Speaker 1: The the assassinations of the sixties? Speaker 0: Yes. Speaker 1: Oh, I could talk to you about that all day. Speaker 0: I bet. You've intersected with it on various levels in Speaker 1: I have. Yeah. And and I feel something of a responsibility to to get to the bottom of that, at at least in my lifetime, for my children. You know what I mean? My my daughter, Bobcat, is Bobby the 4th. So her great grandfather was RFK. And and I don't I wanna be able to look at her and and for her to know whether or not her own government was involved in these assassinations, and if so, what's been done about it to make sure that that never ever happens again, that there's never a coup like that in this country again. And I think when you look at the collaboration that was going on in those days between the intelligence community and organized crime and the mob, you know, there there there were very blurry boundaries. And I worry that today the cartels have kind of taken the mob's role in that world. Speaker 0: The cartoon meaning the Latin American drug cartels? Do you you think that the US government is working with the cartels? Speaker 1: I I mean, working with is is broad. Right? I mean, the the intelligence community's job is to protect the American people, and sometimes they interpret that as requiring, collaboration with criminal elements, with terror organizations, ostensibly as part of cover to, you know, to complete an operation that will save American lives or provide information that, you know, would be helpful to American leaders. Clearly, in the sixties, that ended up being manipulated into a broader collaboration that allowed US government elements to undertake activities that they could not directly undertake by law. And, you know, I think we've seen that even with liaison partnerships. You know, it's clear that Five Eyes has been used. You know, liaison intelligence liaison partners have been used to surveil leaders in our own government when our intelligence agencies could not do it directly because there's no prohibition on sharing intelligence. Speaker 0: Right. So you get a foreign intel service to do the work for you, and then you get the information. Speaker 1: Right. And, similarly, you get an NGO or a contractor to censor the American people, or you get a criminal organization to undertake a criminal act that, you know, you you might might not be so savory for your own officers to do. And that you know, I I never worked in Latin America, so it's not it's not something that I have directly witnessed, but I certainly have direct, you know, knowledge of it happening. Speaker 0: Of the US government collaborating or having some relationship that's not purely antagonistic with the Mexican and or other drug cartels. Speaker 1: Sure. And I and and I think, you know, again, the steel man would be, this is for the benefit of the American people. Speaker 0: Well, it's always for your own good, for sure. Speaker 1: Including true. Look. There is there an argument for having penetrations in the top of the cartels in the same way that you do at the top of, you know, the Iranian or Russian or any other adversarial government? Sure. These I mean, many of them are as powerful and threatening as as a as a nation state. Speaker 0: The problem, though, is money. Right. And there's just so much money spinning off of these enterprises, these the cartels that I mean, you could just see corruption happening very easily. And I I know one person who was involved in that who who I trust. I can't prove it, but who who worked for CIA is a contractor moving over as so many do from the military. And, you know, he's told me a great length about the money, that CIA was getting from from drug cartels in Latin America and South America in his case. I can't prove that, but I I was shocked to hear that. You don't seem shocked to hear that. Speaker 1: Do I mean, look at Iran Contra? Speaker 0: You Speaker 1: know? I mean, look at Air America and Vietnam. Like, these are it's not this is not a new pattern for intelligence. And when you look at black budgets, you know, I mean, congress was stunned that there were operations happening in Niger, and, obviously, they control the purse strings. So who's funding that? Right. And so that pattern has gone back, a long way where, where the narcotics trade has, has funded off book activities or that, you know, that is obviously what happened with the Contras and, has has happened before and since. Speaker 0: Given how many Americans are dying or whose lives are being destroyed, families wrecked entire parts of the country just devastated by drugs. Speaker 1: Mhmm. Speaker 0: It's it's a little much. I mean, that's, like, kind of, at this point, like, Nazi collaboration level immoral, I would say. Speaker 1: No? It is. It's pouring over the border, and along with it, you know, humans and children. And I think we really are seeing the devastation that that reaps. As you say, the I mean, the just the sheer scale and the sum of the revenue involved makes it a a a real challenge. Speaker 0: So we're getting pretty close to presidential election. That probably has you thinking about the future and possibly feeling a little anxious about it. So what can you do to secure your future? Well, probably a lot of things, but maybe one of the first, and this is not glamorous, but get some life insurance. According to the annual insurance barometer study, 41% of people don't have the coverage they need should something unexpected happen to them and unexpected things happen. In fact, it's gonna happen to all of us, not to be morbid. You don't wanna leave a mess behind. You've got people who love you and depend on you. They have mortgage payments or credit card debt. They need money, and you don't wanna leave them in the lurch. And that has happened probably to people you know. And that's why we're proud to partner with Policygenius. It's a very straightforward tool that helps you find the right life insurance policy at the best price so you can have some peace of mind. Policygenius is easy.

Go to policygenius.com/tucker to get your free life insurance quotes and see how it works and how much you could save. That's policygenius.com/tucker. So what about congressional oversight? I mean, I you wonder about the committee chairman in the house, couple Republicans who I know who seem to me as an outsider, sort of outsider, completely controlled by the intel agencies. Is that your perception? Speaker 1: I mean, I look at Chuck Schumer's comment. Yes. They have 6 ways to Sunday to get back at you. Remember when he said that to Rachel Maddow? Speaker 0: Yeah. Speaker 1: And, you know, she didn't look too surprised. I think it's a known, it's a known quantity. Obviously, it goes back to Hoover. That was very well known. Within Intel, people will say, oh, yeah. You know, that guy has a Hoover file on him, meaning this or that policymaker. Something is known that means that Speaker 0: So that's real? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I look at the speaker of the house whose views on everything kind of changed instantly on the on the foreign policy questions. And I think, what are the I mean, there's never been a more obedient speaker to the to the will and whims of the intel community than Mike Johnson, and you sort of wonder, like, what is that? Well, I I mean know the answer. But Speaker 1: You look at, you know, the legislation that has come up through the house on multiple things, you know, on election integrity, on, EMP preparedness. Both are 2, you know, completely different things. Both of them actually the Shield Act in both cases, but several other iterations that passed the house with real bipartisan support and then just got completely gummed up in the senate. And these are things that seem so unassailable and and supported across the board by, you know, regular American voters and the base across both parties, that you have to you have to ask what what Hoover files are involved. And if not a Hoover file, then a, you know, a a second house wherever. But I think between Speaker 0: so corrupt. It's hard even to believe. Speaker 1: It is. It is, but it's harder to believe that we're not gonna do anything to root it out. You know? And I I think you have to name a problem and and really recognize it before you can fix it, and it it's something that I admire about what, you know, Matt Taibi and and, Shellenberger did with the Twitter files was for Elon to go in and say, you know, before I even touch anything on day 1, please document for posterity, all of the abuses that have been happening here so that, a, we can fix them, and, b, the American people know this was happening and can prevent it from happening again. And, you know, if that hadn't happened, we wouldn't know what CISA had been up to, also oversees election integrity, by the way, and how important that Speaker 0: It oversees election integrity? Yeah. Speaker 1: Yeah. Those are its 2. It's 2 outside of, you know, bridges and ports and regular infrastructure, those are its two big focuses or sen censorship of social media and election integrity. Speaker 0: Of course. Speaker 1: To You can't have election Speaker 0: integrity with censorship because censorship is itself an interference in the democratic process. Certainly. Speaker 1: I mean, when you look at the hunter buying a laptop story and, you know, it's been so successfully kind of sidelined that it's hard to even bring up, honestly. We would kind of roll their eyes. Not the Hunter Biden laptop story again. But what I find really astounding about that is that, you know, it was Tony Blinken as a campaign official for, for now president Biden who rang up the CIA and said, you know, we have a debate next week, and we need to be able to rebut this. And can you write this letter? And in it, I mean, it's just such clear politicization of our security services, which is foundationally against everything, that I was told. When I, I mean, when I started there, I was told that if you had a partisan pin in the felt of your cubicle wall, you can be fired. And here we have you know, that's for the rank and file, but the 7th floor are, you know, writing false intelligence estimates to get a presidential candidate out of hot water for his son's documentation of business deals that frankly look pretty corrupt and that the voter should get to make up their own mind about. And maybe you're somebody who would look at the correspondence in that laptop and not be bothered by it, but you should get to make that decision before you cast your vote. And having a government agency where, you know, the the CIA can come in and say, this is Russian disinformation, when it flat out was not was completely authentic. And then CISA can actually get to work for the coming 4 years while that person is president, memory holding that because every single post about it is then flagged as misinformation, is truly a violation of election integrity if ever there was one. I mean, all of the studies around that, the polling around it say that it would have changed a sufficient enough votes to have an impact on the election. And if having your security services step in to lie about, a foreign adversary's involvement in the election in order to conceal from voters correspondence of your own corrupt dealings with other foreign adversaries and have it change the outcome of the election is not interference. It's hard to know what it is. Speaker 0: So nicely put. Were you shocked by that when you saw it? Speaker 1: I was shocked by it when when I realized that that it was intentionally manufactured in that way. I mean, I think when I first heard it, you know, it seemed unlikely to me, but I hadn't really fully caught on at that point how manufactured the entire, you know, laptop story was. Like, it it seemed like too audacious an intrusion into domestic political life, I felt like they wouldn't they wouldn't have gone that far, that publicly, to just out and out lie about it. And, you know, and they did. And not only did they, but then the person who who orchestrated it is now our secretary of state going and preaching democracy all around the world. Speaker 0: It's pretty dark. It must be bewildering for you who were once part of the machine. Yeah. I mean, to Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I can walk around that building in my, you know, with my eyes closed and say, you know, that door goes to this office, and I go and nowhere in any of those offices was the, like, overthrow governments and meddle with domestic politics office. Right? So, you know, I I was never exposed to it, and it could be because in the early days, I definitely threw up the flag on a few things and said, hey. This you know, they were using a lot of honorifics in the early days after 911 where, kind of in English, it would be like mister doctor. You know? But after 911, everybody was sending in Arabic language threat reporting, or they were getting Arabic language threat reporting from their sources, and they were not Arabic speakers. And so there were these huge files for people like Hajj El Yemeni, just like someone who's completed the Hajj and comes from Yemen, which is, you know, many, many people, to put it mildly. And and so picking one person up and, you know, rendering them to another country because they fit that description when it's not a name and it's not an identifier was, you know, a a human rights nightmare. Did that happen? Different name, but I remember raising my hand around that because I was taking, like, Arabic 101 at, in my last year of grad school at Georgetown. And I had a wonderful Egyptian professor. And he had just done a class on honorifics at the beginning to kind of, like, warm people up and teach them pronunciation. And I was literally that far, and I mean, so so brand new. And if that hadn't happened, I wouldn't have recognized it. But and it ended up, you know, actually being right. I mean, they'd they'd they'd it was a wrong person. And by the time that was recognized, they'd, you know, force fed him through his nose and, you know, just a whole human rights nightmare. Speaker 0: I'm sorry to laugh. That's just so horrible. Speaker 1: It's so so horrible as to not be Speaker 0: They force fed him through his mouth. Speaker 1: I'm I'm sharing what was in public. Just just to be clear, I'm sharing what was in the public account, so I'd you know, I'd I don't wanna get go beyond that. But it was the first time that I said, you know, this is who do I talk to about this? This should not you know, this shouldn't be happening. And I think from that moment on, my sense is that I was kind of put in the pile of, like, this is a person who will make she's not gonna just go along. Right? Like, she'll she she will make trouble. I I think I I got filtered out of the go ferment coups in foreign country recruitment program. Thank god. But I never witnessed any of that there. It it was actually really once I left that in some ways, I feel like my education on the intelligence world began. And I knew a lot of really great people there, intellectually curious, smart, goodhearted, many theologians, many poets, like, really, like, interesting unique group of people who argued a lot about where we should be and what we should be doing and the morality of things. I didn't find it to be an evil place at all. But I also am aware that I never came across any of the kinds of operations that, you know, now are being uncovered. And so I think I was working, you Speaker 0: know, the Speaker 1: keep keeping nuclear precursors out of the hands of terror suspects is, like, Speaker 0: a a a Speaker 1: fairly easy moral choice. Right? And so I I never was exposed to any of that, and it was deeply distressing after leaving to to watch all of the subsequent declassifications of what was being done at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere, and, you know, Cat's Eye in Thailand, and I hadn't hadn't been aware of any of that. And then to see it weaponized domestically was the because, of course, that's the end of that story when you really think about it. Yeah. You know, there's no in the end, the way that we treat other people is how we treat ourselves. The way that we treat people outside ends up in our home. You know? It's just the natural way of things. And I think it's no surprise when we have subjugated the world into kind of us versus them thinking and control being our kind of benevolent benevolent control being our love language globally as a nation, that, you know, our our leaders end up doing the same thing at home and feeling like it's noble. Speaker 0: So, again, nicely put. You, made reference a moment ago to changes, under in the 1st years of the Biden administration, 1st months to our EMP preparedness. Can you explain what an EMP is and what changed? Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, this is increasingly relevant now, and it's it's a great credit to president Trump that he prepared us for it and then, unfortunately, to president Biden that he revoked it. So let me sort of explain a little about what it is. Do you remember over the last couple of weeks, there's been there have been solar storms, and we've gotten to see the northern lights much Yes. You know, farther south, which is beautiful. And maybe people were warned there might be slight disruptions to electronics, but for the most part, it's been it's been beautiful and uneventful. Those solar storms can be far more powerful than that, naturally. So before even getting into human weaponizing of that, there have been lots of examples, but the Carrington event is probably the best known, right, in 18/59 and was so I mean, it set, you know, telegraph, operators, on fire, set set forest fires. You damage the the transatlantic cable miles beneath the ocean. And NASA says that were it to happen, again, now given the interconnected electrical grid that didn't exist then, that, you know, we'd be looking at at darkness around most of the globe possibly for years up to 7 years is what they they have said. And that these that these electromagnetic ejections happen from the sun every 100 to 150 years of that of that magnitude. Of course, that was, you know, in 1850, so we're coming up due for 1. Their current estimate is about 12% chance per decade. It's a not a nonzero chance. Fairly likely that in our lifetime or our kids' lifetime, we will experience another one of these Carrington events. In fact, there was one in 2012 that came extremely close to us that would have been absolutely catastrophic, but didn't didn't hit. Speaker 0: And then that would be no electricity for years. Speaker 1: Right. And that, you know, that sounds inconvenient, and, you know, maybe people can see how it would be. You know, it would cause some loss of life, but I think there's part of us when we hear that that thinks, like, I could use a break from Twitter. You know? Like, it might be kinda nice. The thing is that what what people don't realize is that the world is no longer what it was in the 19th century, that, that almost everything at this point involves what they call SCADA systems, which are these small computers that use sensors to move valves or, you know, whether it's how many how much natural gas can move through a pipeline, when to turn on the coolers in a nuclear power plant to make sure that there's not a meltdown, when to allow, water to go over the Hoover Dam to prevent flooding, you know, air traffic control, traffic lights, and so on, all operated by SCADA systems now. And those are are all susceptible to to this exact same, kind of attack, or in the early day you know, what we were just talking about was in the in the case of a solar flare. But humans being what they are, they've learned to weaponize this. Right? And we know this because we have done it. Starfish Prime was the first test in 62 where the US realized that this could be used as a weapon and did the test above the Pacific, and it knocked out, you know, capabilities in Hawaii, and and farther beyond, and so there was that recognition. We now know that the the Soviets figured it out even earlier. They told us during the kind of detente in the nineties, that they had already done 7 tests at that point over Kazakhstan and wiped the entire power grid of of Kazakhstan and actually, you know, created a lot of suffering in the process. But they saw it as having huge potential as a weapon, because of that and began developing out, you know, what they called a super EMP, which is, very specifically tuned not for yield, but for electromagnetic pulse. And these are, you know, these are detonated 30 kilometers or so above a country, so you're not actually destroying anybody with the with the explosion. It is with the, using the EMPs to kill the grid, what is now, by many of our adversaries, mentioned in their military manuals as no contact wars. So this is, you know, win World War 3 without ever having to have contact with the adversary. And when you look at the delivery mechanisms that are available here, and the way that we're seeing EMPs discussed in China and Iran and Russia, North Korea, there are a wide variety of them. I mean, North Korea in 2,013 ran the exact optimal orbit with, its KSM 3 satellite over New York and Washington DC that would be the optimal delivery for this kind of a a weapon. And on the very same day, in April of 2013, sent military special forces, essentially, that have never been identified in to to break into a a substation, PG and E substation, near San Jose in California. And Speaker 0: North Korean Speaker 1: Well, thought to be North Korean, never I'd actually identified or apprehended exactly the same day on the West Coast that they did the satellite run on the East Coast. Speaker 0: What they do at the PG and E substations? They gas and electric, by the way Yes. For our East Coast viewers? Speaker 1: For our East Coast. They were assessed to be extremely professional by the the SEAL trainers who came in later to look at the site. They knew about, an underground comms tunnel that they went in and cut communications and, used sniper fire to damage but not take offline 17 transformers. Speaker 0: In the United States? Speaker 1: In the United States. Speaker 0: Yep. Wait. We had a we had a North Korean team of saboteurs or saboteurs sent by Speaker 1: North Korea. Professional special forces of some variety thought to be North Korean, just outside San Jose in coyote, California. Speaker 0: We did an interview with a woman called Casey Means. She's a Stanford educated surgeon and really one of the most remarkable people I have ever met. In the interview, she explained how the food that we eat produced by huge food companies, big food in conjunction with pharma, is destroying our health, making this a weak and sick country. The levels of chronic disease are beyond belief. What Casey Means, who we've not stopped thought thinking about ever since, is the cofounder of a health care technology company called Levels, and we are proud to announce today that we are partnering with Levels. And by proud, I mean sincerely proud. Levels is a really interesting company and a great product. It gives you insight into what's going on inside your body, your metabolic health. It helps you understand how the food that you're eating, the things that you're doing every single day are affecting your body in real time. You put stuff in your mouth, speaking for myself anyway, and you don't think about it. You have no idea what you're putting in your mouth and you have no idea what it's doing to your body. But over time, you feel weak and tired and spacey, and over an even longer period of time, you can get really sick. So, it's worth knowing what the food you eat is doing to you. The Levels app works with something called a continuous glucose monitor, CGM. You can get one as part of the plan, or you can bring your own. It doesn't matter. But the bottom line is big tech, big pharma, and big food combine together to form an incredibly malevolent force, pumping you full of garbage on healthy food with artificial sugars and hurting you and hurting the entire country. So with levels, you'll be able to see immediately what all this is doing to you. You get access to real time personalized data, and it's a critical step to changing your behavior. Those of us who like Oreos can tell you firsthand. This isn't talking to your doctor at an annual physical looking backwards about things you did in the past. This is up to the second information on how your body is responding to different foods and activities, the things that give you stress, your sleep, etcetera, etcetera. It's easy to use. It gives you powerful personalized health data, and then you can make much better choices about how you feel. And over time, it'll have a huge effect. Right now, you can get an additional 2 free months when you go to levels.link/tucker. That's levels.link/tucker. This is the beginning of what we hope will be a long and happy partnership with Levels and doctor Casey Means. I was, you know, I was an adult in 2013. Obama was president. I was reading the news. I don't remember Speaker 1: No. It was it was very, very downplayed, as vandalism. And, you know, 2 months later, July, we had or few months later, in July, they found, 2 SA 2 nuclear capable missiles in the the bay of a of a tanker in the Gulf of Mexico. And this was all really as the as the North Korean tensions were mounting, you know, which president Trump gets far too little credit, in my opinion, for for that, resolution or detente. And now, you know, under Biden Harris, we have we have North Korean troops being pulled by Putin into the war in Ukraine, so that escalation is is back in play again. But those are 3 distinct ways to attack our electrical grid that were all mounted within, you know, a a handful of months. And as a result, in 2014, NORAD announced that they were fully moving and investing 100 of 1,000,000 of dollars into further rat heartening Cheyenne Mountain. So they've taken it very seriously for their own force protection, which is good, but not for the rest of us. Speaker 0: And can you just give us the cliff notes on what what that means, hardening Cheyenne Mountain? Speaker 1: Okay. So it's actually very easy. If you put your phone in the microwave, right, it is it is safe from this kind of electromagnetic radiation. And so the question is, when you look at something as complex as our entire national grid, what are the nodes that are most, vulnerable to this kind of attack? And, really, there there's sort of 2 categories that are highest consequence. 1 are the SCADA systems that would allow for the resulting forest fires and nuclear meltdowns and floods and plane crashes and, hospital failures and traffic crashes and so forth if they fail. And they are as easy to protect as, you know, putting them in a metal shed instead of a wooden shed or taking the wooden sheds that exist and covering them with, you know, metal mesh to the to the point that, you know, you could put that out for people in each community with specs, and I'm sure that they would get together on a Sunday and do it. You know? But regulation in our country doesn't allow us to do that. That so the SCADA systems, protecting those, and then the extra high voltage transformers are a huge issue and sticking point for our grid. They only make about 200 of them a year, and they're incredibly expensive, 100 of tons, you know, to move. And the coils are done mostly by hand, amazingly. I mean, they're custom made, and they were invented here in the US. Tesla invented them here, but we don't make them anymore. And, most of the ones for export are made in Germany or South Korea, and they're they're designed custom for each spot. So it's very hard to have extras for each one on hand. And they need to be in Faraday cages, which is you know, sounds fancy, but it's basically just a, Speaker 0: Wire mesh cage. Speaker 1: Yeah. A wire mesh cage. And, you know, the benefit of this despite, you know, in addition to protecting against this kind of attack, is that there are a lot of other grid vulnerabilities that are maybe maybe lower damage when they happen, but higher likelihood. You know, an EMP attack or or a, a solar flare are low probability, high catastrophe events. But weather related damage is is the opposite or sometimes catastrophic in its impact as we've seen recently, right, in North Carolina, and elsewhere. And a lot of the same guards around especially around protecting from cascading SCADA failures where, you know, the the, charge can be the surges can be prevented is really important to, the EMP safety, but also would help prevent in those kinds of storm environments. And then you look at sabotage and vandalism, which is another really big issue that they have to protect against. And a Faraday cage, depending on its construction, can also, you know, prevent people from seeing where it is that they're that they're letting off small arms fire or that they're targeting, which we see. I mean, you know, when I drove in here, when you first arrive in your town, on the left, there's a little substation, and it has a chain link fence around it. You know, no cameras. And that's the same all over the country, and everyone just sees those. You know, they see the little coils and don't really think much of it. But Speaker 0: I've I've been here 50 years and never noticed it was there. Speaker 1: That's right. I mean and that's true. Our eye just you know, we're so accustomed to to filtering these things out, but the entire basis of our life and our community and our country and our national security and our health care, our financial system, all relies on them. And it's not just, you know, detonating a nuclear weapon above the United States. Obviously, there's a deterrent effect. There would be a response because Cheyenne Mountain and other parts are completely rat hardened. So even if the entire country were out, you know, the United States would be able to respond, and has had, subs overseas and so on. But you can achieve pretty much the same impact with commercially available EMP suitcases that you can buy for industrial reasons with no, you know, no special license or anything like that. And, you know, if you pick the right 9 substations to put that suitcase next to, you have achieved the exact same thing. And as you can see, you know, with the the San Jose attack, those people were never actually seen on camera, and they were never I mean, you can see them as figures, but they were never identified. Speaker 0: So there's vandalism. There are natural weather events, including the solar flares, the storms that you, mentioned, and then there's EMP. So the threats to the grid and to our the lives of 350,000,000 Americans are are completely real and in some sense, imminent. Like, we know this is gonna happen at some point. So what the federal response hardening, the grid changed when Biden got elected? Speaker 1: Yeah. And this is what is really hard to accept. It is very similar, actually, to what happened with the border wall, which is here you have 2 policies, the EMP executive order that president Trump was the 1st president to ever direct all parts of government to work together to be sure that the American people were protected from intentional EMP attack after decades of knowing that our primary adversaries were all considering it, training for it, had weapons programs designed to do this. And, by the way, I mean, before we get to Biden, you know, the primary delivery mechanism in all of those tests was a high altitude balloon. You know? When we then have China, a primary adversary who we know have talked in their training sessions and their training manuals about using high altitude balloons to deliver this kind of an EMP device and have done tests where it's the same exact payload as the high altitude balloons that were recovered. And then you have Russia. I'm sure you remember last year, Washington worked itself into quite justified, in my opinion, state about, you know, the, quote, unquote, space nuke. Right? Putting a nuclear weapon into orbit on a satellite. And at the time, the media made it out like this was maybe a danger, and even if it was a danger, it's only a danger to other satellites. Right? And it would it would get in the way of your car's GPS. And, you know, maybe it would be problematic for the military, and so we should pay attention to it. But they definitely downplayed its impact on anyone on the ground. Right? And yet we know from past Russian, trials and the, the SA 3 satellite that, that the North Koreans sent over that this kind of delivery is the exact same, setup as an anti satellite weapon. You put a nuclear weapon on a satellite headed up from the south where we have virtually no detection set up. And you don't even get the 22 minutes that you would get with a solar flare. It just comes completely out of the blue, and there's no preparation whatsoever. And in general, in the, you know, in the military theory of these of these adversaries, it's a multipronged attack. Right? That's the initial. You take out you know, you send send everybody into chaos, and you take out their ability to communicate with one another, and then it's followed by whatever comes next. And for us to know to have seen that in, you know, war games in at least 2 of our largest adversaries, both Iran and Russia, I've included in in their their training simulations. It's in 3 of their manuals, China, Russia, and Iran. Russia, we know, is putting a nuclear weapon in in orbit. China's sending the space balloons. They've I mean, the HAL 2 balloons have already come across our own territory. North Korea, 3 three way attack, simulation, but all three were successful. Clearly, this is on the minds of our adversaries, and it's an imminent danger. Certainly, the the vulnerability, the, you know, the area in which we are most vulnerable for maximum casualties and impact. And yet president Trump's was the first president to to say across different parts of government, who sometimes have a hard time talking to one another, I want you to work together to make sure that the American people are protected from this. And, by the way, it's not even that expensive in the big scheme of, you know, government spending. To do it really well, the the cost estimate was $2,000,000,000, which, you know, we've just sent another 100,000,000,000 to Ukraine. So then Biden takes office, and, frankly, my mind just, inconceivably, revokes that. And in the same way that he says with the wall, you know, both of those, to my mind, are initiatives that are already underway, that are designed to protect the American people's security and homeland, and he reversed for you know, with with no with no replacement plan in place. Speaker 0: But, you know, with the border wall, you could and I think that's a a more complex topic than we appreciate. Like, what is the point of what they just did? I I don't know. But at least there was a perceived political constituency in favor of mass immigration. K. They thought it would make it a one party state. That's why they're for it. Got it. What could possibly be the motive for not defending yourself in a sensible way from an EMP attack? Like, I don't get that at all. Speaker 1: Support from the electrical industry. Speaker 0: Oh, really? Speaker 1: Yeah. There's a huge amount of pushback. So it gets a little bit in the weeds and boring, but there's there are these 2 things, the NERC and the FERC. Yeah. Yeah. And they, are supposed to regulate one another, basically, or one you know, FERC is supposed to regulator. And, unsurprisingly, in that kind of a cozy relationship, it doesn't work. And they do have some self imposed EMP standards, but they are for a reasonably light solar storm and would not come anywhere close to being able to withstand any kind of nuclear fallout, and really push back on the costs that would be involved. And the the difficulty you know, it could be passed on to consumers at 20¢ per consumer per year, which I think most consumers, when they really understand that this is this would, you know, keep their power on not just in those extreme circumstances, but also help in storms and with vandalism and with these other Speaker 0: And keep millions from starving stuff. Speaker 1: Right. Billions, potentially. I mean, these are these are global. I mean, in our in our country, not but, but these certainly will be global issues, and there will be global competition for the very slow to build transformers that would fix them. Right? And so it's really important to recognize that everybody else will be going through the same thing at the same time. It's not like you can find a way to walk to outside of that area so that you can get order something and bring it back in, right, in terms of rebuilding your grid. So potentially catastrophic, non zero chance of it happening. I mean, 12% per decade is and I should say that the EMP committee that Congress, put in place and, unfortunately, was disbanded under president Obama, but prior prior to that, included, really, the intelligence community's best analysts based on all of the testing that they'd seen hostile countries do. Their estimate was 8 to 9 out of every 10 Americans could lose their life by the end of the 1st year, which is a staggering and almost impossible to believe estimate until you realize that, you know, within obviously, at the outset, you have half a 1000000 people in the air at any given time on a 1000 flights. Right? So that's lost right away. And then Speaker 0: So everyone on an airplane does. Speaker 1: Right. So that's half a 1000000 people at any moment, any given moment. And then you have, you know, obviously, traffic and everything that that happens in in that immediate chaos. But very quickly after that, the SCADA systems begin to fail, and you have fire, you have flood. Within 72 hours, you have meltdown at all nuclear facilities. And then refrigeration has gone out at supermarkets and at the regional food warehouses, so the food supply ends. There's no, you know, there's no access to ATMs or money or financial structure of any any type, no access to your prescription medications, you know, no access to law enforcement, and no clean water and no food. So unless, you know, you have your Berkey that you can put lake water in and, you know, a year's worth of food, and a way to protect yourself, you know, you've which the vast majority of Americans don't have. You are in an incredibly vulnerable position that there's absolutely no reason to risk putting our own people. Speaker 0: And if you're and that's just for people who are outside the cities. But if you're in the middle of a Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 0: Tightly packed metro area, you're just done. Yeah. And and this the I mean, I can't even imagine people's be having, you know, covered chaos in Baghdad and Right. Hurricane Katrina. You know, anyone who's ever seen the, you know, disappearance of authority knows that, like, within hours, people start going crazy and hurting each other. Speaker 1: And you have, you know, you have your kids in your apartment, and how do you get them out, and how do you get them to safety, and where do you take them? And, you know, the prospect of even rolling any kind of dice to put our our own people in that situation while then glibly taking the money that we could spend doing that and instead send it to to arm Ukraine when sending ballistic missiles into Russia using American satellites, you know, puts us in a direct hot war with Russia for the first time ever. You know, that that actually puts us at a higher risk of this kind of attack than ever in our history. And at a moment where instead of spending our money to protect ourselves from that attack, we're actually spending our money to provoke that attack. Speaker 0: We did a live tour last month, one of the funnest things we've ever done, coast to coast, 16 different cities speaking. Well, next week, our grand finale, Halloween, October 31, 2024 in Glendale, Arizona. Our special guest that night, days before the presidential election, Donald Trump. All proceeds donated to hurricane relief. We're proud to do it. Hope to see you there. So I I I don't know that 1 in a 1000000 Americans has ever heard any really anything you just said or certainly not heard it fleshed out in the way that you just did. And yet when you hear it, it makes sense, and it's clearly true. So that raises the question about our information, you know, the integrity of our information sources, and why aren't, we hearing this from the press, from the media? I don't understand that. Speaker 1: Well, I, you know, I think there's a party line right now in the media, if you haven't noticed, And this, I think, does not support the security state's thesis about, about how safe the current administration has made us in the world. Right? And, you know, when you look at when you look at the economy versus stability you know, 4 years ago, and now it is just absolutely clear that we should be talking about the fact that the world has been set on fire over the last 4 years, and yet it's really not front and center in our news at all with, you know, with the exception of of, the Middle East, which, you know, gets, I think, pretty slanted coverage. So Speaker 0: Oh, you think? Speaker 1: You know, having come through 2 years of the RFK campaign, I will tell you, it is, I mean, it's truly amazing to me how to what degree a media blackout really can be coordinated and and be successful. Speaker 0: What was your tell us. What was your experience? Speaker 1: I mean, it was clear to me pretty early on that, you know, you were if you were someone who had heard from Bobby, then you were someone who was at least considering voting for him. And and many of those people, you know, were very clear that he was should be the next president of the United States. So you're either somebody who had heard from Bobby or you were somebody who had heard about Bobby, right, from your cable news source or from your newspaper and so on. And, you know, you begin to realize when you're on the inside of of, you know, the receiving end of all of that is that every place you know, anything that you know about this election, you know about it because you have read, heard, or seen it on a platform that has a commercial interest in the outcome of the election. Right? I mean, you look at Google, 100 of 1,000,000 of dollars in in pharmaceutical ad revenue, 1,000,000,000 of dollars in pharmaceutical ad revenue, that Bobby said in his very first speech when he announced for president that he would bring us in line with the rest of the world by banning pharmaceutical advertising on TV. You know, what business do you know that is gonna give fair coverage to somebody that could cost them 1,000,000,000 of dollars a year in their business model? They you know, it's not in their fiduciary interest, and it's the same you know, we see it with, certainly, all the cable news channels who are also reliant on pharmaceutical advertising. And then, you know, the reliance I mean, Bobby's determination to cut excess military funding when so many of these media companies have board entanglements or common ownership with, defense contractors or are themselves. I mean, you look at Amazon Web Services and The Washington Post and, you know, GE and NBC and so forth. I mean, there's a long, long history of that. And Speaker 0: How much does Boeing spend on Politico every year? Speaker 1: I mean Speaker 0: I mean, But so that is kind of the I didn't understand this actually until Bobby explained it to me, having spent my entire life in the media, in television, not realizing that the point of the pharmaceutical ads was not to sell the drugs to consumers who can't prescribe the drugs to themselves, of course. It never made sense to me, and I didn't get the obvious poach. It's it's protection money. Speaker 1: Yep. And that's exactly Speaker 0: how I never got that. Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes you even see the Boeing ad or, you know, the Northrop ads, and it's, like, impossible. As a consumer, you there's it's you actually can't. There's no way to to buy their product. No. I know. It's just, like, completely naked bribery. But I never thought of Speaker 0: that. Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm like, why would Speaker 0: like, why are you Northrop Speaker 1: advertising in Politico. Like, what? Because you're gonna go buy a bomber. Speaker 0: It's to keep its reporters from criticizing. Speaker 1: That's right. It is their entire Expense expenditures. Yeah. It's their salary, and they know it. And, you know, a free market is a free market. Fine. But when when voters are so steeped in a media environment and especially with algorithmic things where, you know, they're seeing their Google News Feed, and every single time they see Bobby's name, he's like a psychopathic, crazy, dog eating, you know, joke. Right? And that was their approach, was either to absolutely not cover him whatsoever. I mean, he would give these extraordinary speech. He had this peace speech that he did in New Hampshire in the at the outset of the campaign, and the the, America's Strong speech about building a unity government based on Lincoln's team of rivals were 2 of the most incredible speeches I've of the campaign, and neither of them they were all attended by 30, 40 reporters with cameras, obviously waiting for him to say some terrible thing so they could play that one clip, and then none of them ran any of it because they, you know, because they were such strong speeches. And so we we were up against that throughout. And Did you Speaker 0: know how the America I mean, obviously, you've been around you worked at BBC, you've been around the American media your for your whole life, but did you appreciate how this works before you started running this campaign? Speaker 1: Not nearly to the degree that, you know, the the degree of politicization was surprising to me, and and I think I had not really come to understand the, the kind of deep commercial drivers behind editorial lines. And, you know, I guess, had a little bit of idealism still from the old, like, Edward R. Moreau. Like, you know, there there must be some journalist still out there kind of thing. And they've been very few and far between. I mean, I really I'm hard pressed to even come up with an example. I'm glad to be sitting across from you, but I will say thank god for Elon Musk. Speaker 0: Yes. I agree. Speaker 1: I mean, I really believe that every American should include him and his family in their prayers every day because, you know, he is holding our constitution together right now. And, you know, even the Internet archive is offline now. It's there's nothing left. There's no other way to know. And, sure, are there things on there that turn out not to be true? Absolutely. Are there things on there that you're gonna disagree with or find offensive? Absolutely. And, you know, such is the nature of free speech, and it's audacious and bold and beautiful and sometimes infuriating, but that's what we've built our entire country on. And when it I mean, I I remember recently explaining this to my daughter, and and she was you know, she's 5. And she was asking me why why I'm always traveling. I'm working in the moment, and and I was explaining about the importance of free speech and and how I wanted her to have it when she was older. And she said, so are there countries where if you criticize the leader, you know, they'll put you in jail? And I said, yes. Or are there a lot of those countries? They that used to be all the countries, basically. And when you when you go back and you look at the at the audacity of what that idea was at the beginning and the fact that it wasn't happening anywhere else, and then 100, you know, of of other countries now have followed suit, and that we're just gonna give that up for the short sighted gain of 1 political party in 1 election cycle or one blob for, you know, 5 to 10 election cycles while, you know, their lust for power continues, and that as a result because no government is ever going to cede power given to an emergency. So even once that runs its course, it still means that my kids' kids will not have the freedom of speech that, you know, that they that is their birthright, given to them by our country's founders. And I just can't I can't abide that. I can't let it happen. And to see Elon, who wasn't even born in this country, step up and defy the commercial interests. You know? I I I don't know his finances, but it seems to me that he has taken a serious financial hit. Speaker 0: Oh, serious. To protect He's not a money worshiper. Right. Unlike so many billionaires, just to be blunt. They're money worshippers. That's why they're billionaires. Right. He's not. Speaker 1: No. And I I think he's genuinely driven by the desire to see human freedom endure. And I don't know why more of us are not because there's nothing more important, and it's ours to lose. You know? And it's bewildering to me when I hear people say, well, you know, our government can be trusted with those. Like, they can make the judgment of what I should be able to say and what I shouldn't. He just the the idea that but what about the next leader? You know, every government is it is it Federalist 51, the one that where Madison talks about, you know, if if men were angels, we wouldn't need government, and if government were angels, it wouldn't need to be regulated, but we are making you know, the challenge is making a government of of men over men, and and yet they took on that challenge and achieved it so beautifully. And I remember mister Saar at NCS tell my last 2 years of high school in DC when I came back to the United States telling telling us about Skokie versus Illinois, and I and just being incredibly moved by the courage that it takes as a society to defend such abhorrent speech Yes. Because you know that, you know, it's it's not a sliding scale. It's just you either have it or you don't. I mean, Salman Rushdie says the minute somebody says, I believe in free speech except, you know, stop them right there because they don't need to finish the sentence. Speaker 0: But I get I just refer back to my first question, which is since I'm so familiar with, you know, all the schools you went to, the credentials you have, you know, the world that you're from, I mean, you've gotta be in the 1 tenth of 1 percent of people you know who've taken this position. You took such an unpopular position. And I know, you know, you're married into the family and all that, but still you became Bobby Kennedy's campaign manager. And now Bobby Kennedy's endorsed Trump, and I just don't think you could hoist a bigger middle finger in the face of the world that you're from. I mean, I just know that because I I know that world. So, like, did you even hesitate before doing that? What was your thinking? And, like, I'm sure none of your classmates did anything like that. Why did you do that? Speaker 1: You know, I think that if you gave them the choice I mean, if they came down from Mars and you put the exact occur you know, what is happening right now in front of them without the names of the parties or the names of the participants and said, you know, you have 1 4 year stint where no new wars are started, where, you know, bread costs half of what it costs now, gas a third, you know, etcetera etcetera, you know, rises in standard of living across the country, lower suicide rates, lower depression, you know, lower homelessness, lower incarceration, lower immigration that is, you know, illegal and and and results in in children being lost around the country, and then you compare it with 4 years of another government that is endorsed, by the way, by Dick Cheney now and a host of neocons that involves 2 new wars, you know, printing $8,000,000,000,000 of additional debt that is a tax on the poor and on future generations, in order to pay for more war, more children going into poverty, more you know that we have a real unemployment rate of 25% in this country? A quarter. When you take into account people who want a full time job and don't have 1 or people who have a full time job but don't make $25,000 a year, which is not a living wage. If you take that into account, we have 24.9% true unemployment rate. So when you what I think that you asked about people in my world. I think if you put any of that to them, and then on top of that said, you know, and this this leader that has plunged people into poverty and unemployment and, you know, had 2 2 additional wars started on his watch is censoring speech on social media, weaponizing the courts to take people of his own party and every single other party off of the ballot. I mean, literally, Dean Phillips, Marianne Williamson, Robert Kennedy junior, obviously, president Trump, no labels, Jill Stein, everybody. There's nobody that, as far as I know, that didn't face some kind of a lawsuit to try to challenge their actual ballot access, the ability for an American to turn up and exercise their own sacred individual sovereignty of thought and choose whether or not to vote for them. Every single one of them was attacked in court to get their name off of the ballot. It's like, we believe in democracy. You can vote for anyone as long as it's me. Right? And I I believe that anyone who who I knew growing up, and, hopefully, any American that I didn't know growing up, when when they see it with the in group, out group coding stripped away, would all, I mean, would all choose the same outcome here. I think the challenge is that, you know, we are evolutionarily designed to to, you know, retain the approval of our group. When you're walking across the, you know, the early savannah and your your group shuns you, you know, you're out of luck. Right? It's a lot harder to survive, and I there's, there's a study that DARPA did around news you know, reading news, where they they expected the frontal lobe to light up because you were assessing the logic of what you were reading. And, actually, it lights up second after this area over the ear, which is, if you hold up a shirt and think about whether your friends would make fun of you if you wore it. So, you know, you are using your analytical mind, but only after you've already decided whether you're using it to poke holes or, you know, to reinforce. And I think that honestly, my friends who don't support president Trump, I think that's why. I think, you know, there Speaker 0: it is. I guess everything you said is true, and for the 3rd time, nicely put. But I also have a little more difficulty giving that group a pass because that's our that's our leadership class Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 0: Raised and to some extent, to be brutally honest, bred to Yeah. Rule. Yeah. And every society has that class, and that's fine with me. I think it's inevitable. It's part of the human ordering. But that class should be able to think critically and rationally. That's their job, and they're not. And I just don't understand how this happened. A total breakdown in the sort of mental faculties of the people who run everything. Like, what the hell? Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, part of it, I think, is this intentional, addictive, hypnotic quality of of media and social media that has really intentionally been designed that way. You know, Cali Means talks about how the tobacco companies bought, you know, the food companies and sent over their chemists and made them, you know, intentionally addictive, and that is horrifying and true. I feel that the same has really been done to our information ecosystem, and part of it is for, you know, for for corporate profit, and part of it is for political control. And as, as that media environment has also become more global and these partnerships with, you know, other parties and other countries assist in censorship, it's I think it's difficult to, to think critically without a single input telling you that you're living in The Truman Show. Speaker 0: That's right. Speaker 1: You know? And, I mean, the the agency, they used to have these these things called red teams, right, where they would in the eighties, they started putting people in, analysts, in kind of a bunker for 3 to 3 months or 6 months that looked for all the world like you were living in Soviet in the Soviet Union. And all of the books that you had available were all the things that you would be reading if you were military or leadership class there, and you're listening to live radio broadcast in, you know, Russian and just living the life of a Soviet leader in the bunker. And every day, you're writing what you would do. You know? Today, I would push on the Berlin Wall, etcetera, and and that is actually one of the things that came out of it was when was the tie a suggestion of the timing for when Reagan should should push on on bringing down the wall. But it allowed people to really channel their adversary to such a degree that they were viewed with a lot of suspicion when they came out. It was like, well, now you've gone native. You know? Now, like, you're you maybe you're the enemy now. And now after 9/11, they started, ramping these things back up, around Islamic extremism and reading, you know, all of the old academic writings of, you know, some of the the more violent jihad leaders and so on. And there that suspicion remained as the the better you performed in there in terms of really being able to get into somebody's mind, the more suspicious people were of you when you left, and you were generally put in some kind of, like, a teaching assignment or some you know, somewhere you couldn't really do any harm. And I I I tell that story because it's very interesting to me that it's like a tacit acknowledgment that you are what you read, or you you are what you're immersed in. Right? And you can have been, you know, this 19 eighties cold warrior so much so that you're working, you know, as an analyst in Russia House at CIA. Presumably, you're, like, pretty dyed in the wool, you know, blue team. And then you do this 3 months or you do this 6 months, and it is so convincing, this immersion in the thoughts and radio and books and, you know, beliefs of your adversary, that you might just be lost forever when you come out. Right? Like, you might have just had a full conversion experience. I think that is what's happening. I mean, I think that media approach is now the experiment that's running all around us all the time. Speaker 0: Yes. I agree with that. This is such a terrifying effect. I wish we had more time. Speaker 1: It's always more time, all in God's time, but this was so nice to stop and actually talk about some, some of the real challenges that, you know, I think sometimes in the final weeks of the campaign, everything becomes about, you know, the day's polls or, you know, whatever the the media opportunity of the day was. And in the end, this is what's at stake. I mean, we're talking about decisions over the the very constitutional ideals that this country was built on, the physical safety of our communities, of our families. I mean, you were putting it's it's really one of the the only times that, as a parent, you are putting the lives of your children in the hands of someone who, frankly, is a stranger to you. And, you know, you you when you look at these EMP scenarios and then you look at these censorship scenarios, you know, the the well-being of our constitution of our children and of human freedom is at stake here. And, you know, if it weren't, I I wouldn't be fighting for it so hard. But thank you for taking the time to really dig in to those issues rather than, you know, the the latest photo op of the day. Speaker 0: You're welcome back anytime. Thank you. I'm Morales Kennedy. Speaker 1: Thanks, Tucker.

No matter what state you live in, vote Trump. This may be our last chance to protect our Constitutional rights. America is turning into a one-party state, fast.

The Supreme Court protects freedoms when Congress and presidents overreach, but those freedoms are currently under threat. Government officials have pressured tech companies to censor alleged misinformation, much of which has proven true. Authoritarian governments control the press, speech, and legal processes, using courts to stifle opponents. America is rapidly becoming a one-party state. The Supreme Court has so far restrained the "censorship industrial complex" run by the Democrats, but a Democratic victory in the upcoming election could lead to the appointment of judges who would end democracy. The only hope is a populist movement, including "foreign democrats," to defend the republic. Therefore, everyone should vote Trump to protect the Constitution.

Speaker 0: Hey, everybody. Robert f Kennedy junior here. If you look behind me, you'll see the Supreme Court building. When congress and presidents overreach their powers and trample on our freedoms, We, the people, can challenge them before the Supreme Court. It's the court's job to protect those freedoms that the constitution guarantees, and our freedoms have needed protection, constitution guarantees. And our freedoms have needed protection many times in American history, but never have they been under such threat as they are today. Government officials all the way up to the White House have pressured tech companies to censor what they call misinformation. It turns out that most of that information has actually been true. A government doesn't want a tear a man's tongue out to stop him from lying. A tear a man's tongue out to prevent them from telling the truth. It's actually true. It's just information that they don't like, and that's exactly what authoritarian one party governments do. There's no freedom of press because they control the press. There's no freedom of speech because they control speech. There's no due legal process because they control the legal process. The courts become a weapon that they use to stifle their opponents. America is turning today into 1 party state and very fast. So far, the supreme court has restrained the censorship industrial complex run by the democrats. But if the democrats win this election, they will fill those courts with their own judges, and democracy in this country could be lost. The only hope is for a populist movement to sweep them inside. That's what MAGA can become if enough foreign democrats like me join in defense of the republic. So no matter what state you live in, please vote Trump.

Harris and the Democratic establishment view free speech as a privilege, but it is a right. If Harris is elected, this right will be quashed, and it will be too late to vote our way out of totalitarianism by 2028. Trump understands the censorship machine, having been kicked off Twitter and witnessing the weaponization of government agencies against political opponents. Trump needs to win in a landslide in both the electoral college and the popular vote, requiring support to unify and overthrow the elites.

Speaker 0: Hey, everybody. A lot of people are asking me if they live in a red state or a blue state, should they still be voting for me? What about swing states? The answer is easy. No. No matter what state you live in, you should be voting for Donald Trump. And let me tell you why. That's the only way that we can get me and everything I stand for into Washington DC and fulfill the mission that motivated my campaign. Right now, for you speech is under withering and relentless attack in America and across the globe. But at least we still have enough of it here that you can watch this video. We can still run an opposition political campaign. Well, in a lot of countries, you can't do that anymore because the state now controls the media. The state censors the Internet. Brazil just banned Twitter because Elon Musk refused to censor user speech. Amal Harris says that Musk better behave himself or he will, quote, lose his Speaker 1: privileges and it should be taken down. They are directly speaking to millions and millions of people without any level of of of oversight or regulation, and that has to stop. She thinks, and the democratic establishment thinks, that free speech Speaker 0: is a privilege. Well, you know and I know that it's a right. And if Kamala Harris is elected, the powers behind her will quash that right. They're already halfway there. It will be too late by 2020 8. Once we're in the grips of totalitarianism, we're not gonna be able to vote our way out of it. This is our last chance to stop them. After long conversations with president Trump and his team and his family, I know that he is fully convinced of this priority. He sees the censorship machine for what it is. Remember, he was kicked off Twitter back in 2021, and he has experienced directly how government agencies are being weaponized to destroy the government's political opponents. He's gonna be relying on me to help clean up that corruption, and that's why I'm relying on my supporters like you to help him return to the White House. As you know, this could be a very close election. A disputed election result would be a disaster for our divided nation. President Trump needs to win in a landslide both in the electoral college and in the popular vote. He can't do that unless my supporters join in. Oh, look at the big We have to unify. We have to overthrow the entrenched elites who are now ruining our country. So let's get Donald Trump elected on November 5th so that we can restore our constitution, so that we can 5 middle class, so that we can rescue our democracy and censorship and surveillance, unravel the war machine, protect children's health, and make America healthy again.

Police State Update -- Will We See U.S. troops, On U.S. Soil, Using Lethal Force Against Americans? https://t.co/jbIUrTGTqx

Video Transcript AI Summary
The US military is now allegedly authorized to kill Americans on US soil, according to a headline from Zero Hedge and Armageddon Pros. This claim stems from a reissued Department of Defense (DOD) directive, specifically DOD directive 5240.01, reissued on September 27, 2024. The directive governs Department of Defense intelligence activities and now includes provisions authorizing lethal force in certain circumstances, supplanting the 2016 version, which did not mention that. Section 3.3 addresses assistance to law enforcement agencies and other civil authorities. It states that defense intelligence components may provide personnel to assist law enforcement when lives are in danger. Approval is granted for responding with assets with the potential for lethality or any situation where the use of force is likely to result in death or serious bodily injury.

Speaker 0: We wanna start off with, a headline from 0 Edge. It's pretty hot hot headline. US military now is authorized to kill Americans on US soil. That's that can't be possible. Yeah. This would open up the door for the careless, use, and it's more frequent and legal. It'll be legal now, so nobody will have to worry about that. Send in the troops. We need you to shoot a couple of these people. Yeah. They they they're opposing our policies. They're demonstrating against COVID rules or something they'll come up with. So I think it's very, very dangerous. Speaker 1: So here it is. Now the Siraj picked it up from Armageddon Pros, which is a, which is a substack which they often run. It says, US military now authorized to kill Americans on US soil. Just ahead, intriguingly, of November elections, and that was my second thought, the military has granted itself permission to unleash unleash lethal force on the civilian population. Again, I thought this has got to be an exaggeration. So, I went and looked and actually go to the next one because this this explains what it is. Now it's not a law. It's a DOD directive. So this is, you know, the whole the administrative state where they take over. They don't pass laws. They are laws unto themselves. Go to the next one if you can because this is what they're talking about. And I went in and I read this secondly, and it talks about a reissued DOD directive that was reissued just on September 27, 2024. It governs the Department of Defense Intelligence activities and now includes provisions authorizing lethal lethal force in circum certain circumstances. And it supplants the 2016 version, which did not mention that. So I read all of this too, which is someone else's analysis. I said, okay. This sounds even more troubling. I wanna go look at the document itself. And so go to the next one. I actually went and at the DOD directive. It's DOD directive 5240.01. Now, go to the next one. I'm just gonna get to this really quick, so I can just so people this is on their own website. Now, this is section 3 of that directive, assistance to law enforcement agencies and other civil authorities. Now go to the next one. Now this is levels of authority. This is section 3.3. Defense intelligence components may provide personnel to assist a federal department or agency, including a federal law enforcement agency or a state or local law enforcement agency, when lives are in danger in response to such a request for such assistance in accordance with the following approval authorities. Now here are the authorities. I'm sorry to get so far into the woods here, but go to the next one. Responding with assets with potential for lethality, and I underline this, I I highlighted it, or any situation where it is reasonably foreseeable that providing the requested assistance may involve the use of force that is likely to result in lethal force, including death or serious bodily injury. I'm sorry to bog the discussion down as I talked about, but I really wanted to hone in on this as their actual document. It's not just someone's analysis.

Bayer is essentially bribing both Republican and Democrat congresspeople to insert an extraordinary provision into the Farm Bill that would give the German company immunity from lawsuits over its pesticides, especially Roundup.

Shall we defend our lives and liberties? For 40 years, Monsanto’s RoundUp has clearly caused dozens of diseases to explode in lockstep. Now Monsanto wars with the constitution as they lobby for a license to kill. A new provision seeks to create a liability shield to defend Monsanto from Americans harmed by pesticides. By overriding state laws, this bill will enable Monsanto to make billions in profits without regard for the lives of Americans. This provision is a direct attack on our Constitutional bill of rights: 5th Amendment - Due Process: Denies Americans rights to fair hearings. 10th Amendment - States’ Rights: Ends the power of states to protect their citizens. 14th Amendment - Equal Protection: Creates an unfair legal advantage for corporations over individuals. Millions of Americans are dying before their time. Monsanto says this bill is necessary because growing food is a toxic endeavor. This is completely false. Europe uses a tenth of the poison we do. For all time until very recently, we’ve never grown food with poison. In reality, with technology and knowledge, it's never been easier to grow our food responsibly.

The phrase "Make America Great Again" often troubles liberals, who see it as a nostalgic call for a past without civil rights. However, I interpret it differently, reflecting my experience with Donald Trump today. To me, it evokes an America filled with vitality, hope, and a spirit of can-do. It acknowledges past injustices while celebrating successes, showcasing a prosperous middle class and a commitment to freedom, justice, and democracy. This is the vision of America that many Trump supporters, including those close to him, aspire to restore.

@RobertKennedyJr - Robert F. Kennedy Jr

What "MAGA" really means The phrase has troubled liberals who think it is a call for a return to an America before civil rights, gay rights, and women's rights. But I have a more generous interpretation, one that is truer to my experience of Donald Trump as he is today. "Make America Great Again" recalls a nation brimming with vitality, with a can-do spirit, with hope and a belief in itself. It was an America that was beginning to confront its darker shadows, could acknowledge the injustice in its past and present, yet at the same time could celebrate its successes. It was a nation of broad prosperity, the world's most vibrant middle class, and a idealistic belief (though not consistently applied) in freedom, justice, and democracy. It was a nation that led the world in innovation, productivity, and technology. And it was the healthiest country in the world. I have talked to many Trump supporters. I have talked with his inner circle. I have talked to the man himself. This is the America they want to restore.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban discusses the war as a "red pill," urging a deeper understanding of reality. He criticizes Europe for following U.S. Democratic policies at its own expense, particularly regarding the Nord Stream incident and Germany's inconsistent military support. Orban emphasizes Hungary's commitment to an independent foreign policy, seeking partnerships across both Western and Eastern blocs. He reflects on the shifting global power dynamics, noting that countries like India and Turkey are aligning with Russia, and concludes that the war reveals the West's self-inflicted challenges.

@RobertKennedyJr - Robert F. Kennedy Jr

Lots of truth bombs from the mouth of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Here are some excerpts, organized by topic. Full speech link: https://miniszterelnok.hu/en/speech-by-prime-minister-viktor-orban-at-the-33rd-balvanyos-summer-free-university-and-student-camp/ The war is our red pill: Dear Friends, the war is our red pill. Think of the “Matrix” films. The hero is faced with a choice. He has two pills to choose from: if he swallows the blue pill, he can stay in the world of surface appearances; if he swallows the red pill, he can look into and descend into reality. The war is our red pill: it is what we have been given, it is what we must swallow. And now, armed with new experiences, we must talk about reality. On Democrats/US pressure: All that Europe is doing today is unconditionally following the foreign policy line of the US Democrats – even at the cost of its own self-destruction. We let the blowing up of the Nord Stream pipeline go unchallenged; Germany itself let an act of terrorism against its own property – which was obviously carried out under US direction – go unchallenged, and we are not saying a word about it, we are not investigating it, we do not want to clarify it, we do not want to raise it in a legal context. When, to the astonishment of Hungarians, one sees the German chancellor announcing that he is only sending helmets to the war, and then a week later he announces that he is in fact sending weapons, do not think that the man has lost his mind. Then when the same German chancellor announces that there may be sanctions, but that they must not cover energy, and then two weeks later he himself is at the head of the sanctions policy, do not think that the man has lost his mind. On the contrary, he is very much in his right mind. He is well aware that the Americans and the liberal opinion-forming vehicles they influence – universities, think tanks, research institutes, the media – are using public opinion to punish Franco–German policy that is not in line with American interests. Reality today: We [Hungary] have received a démarche from Brussels: they have condemned the Hungarian peace mission efforts. I have tried – without success – to explain that there is such a thing as Christian duty. This means that if you see something bad in the world – especially something very bad – and you receive some instrument for its correction, then it is a Christian duty to take action, without undue contemplation or reflection. The Hungarian peace mission is about this duty… The peace mission is not just about seeking peace, but is also about urging Europe to finally pursue an independent policy. We [Hungary] will not allow ourselves to be locked into only one of either of the two emerging hemispheres in the world economy… We have to be in both, in the Western and in the Eastern… We will not get involved in the war against the East. We will not join in the formation of a technological bloc opposing the East, and we will not join in the formation of a trade bloc opposing the East. We are gathering friends and partners, not economic or ideological enemies. We are not taking the intellectually much easier path of latching on to someone, but we are going our own way. This is difficult – but then there is a reason that politics is described as an art. Central Europeans like us are immediately reminded of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, who taught that with the advent of communism the state will die, but that the state will die while first constantly strengthening. Brussels is also creating peace by constantly supporting war. Just as we did not understand Lenin’s thesis in our university lectures on the history of the labour movement, I do not understand the Brusseleers in European Council meetings. Perhaps Orwell was right after all when he wrote that in “Newspeak” peace is war and war is peace. Red pill number six: the spiritual solitude of the West. Up until now the West has thought and behaved as if it sees itself as a reference point, a kind of benchmark for the world… Once again the West has declared its expectation, its instruction, for the world to take a moral stand against Russia and for the West. In contrast, the reality has become that, step-by-step, everyone is siding with Russia. That China and North Korea are doing so is perhaps no surprise. That Iran is doing the same – given Iran’s history and its relationship with Russia – is somewhat surprising. But the fact that India, which the Western world calls the most populous democracy, is also on the side of the Russians is astonishing. That Turkey refuses to accept the West’s morally based demands, even though it is a NATO member, is truly surprising. And the fact that the Muslim world sees Russia not as an enemy but as a partner is completely unexpected. Echoing Ray Dalio: In the past, change was Western: the Habsburgs rose and then fell; Spain was up, and it became the centre of power; it fell, and the English rose; the First World War finished off the monarchies; the British were replaced by the Americans as world leaders; then the Russo–American Cold War was won by the Americans. But all these developments remained within our Western logic. This is not the case now, however, and this is what we must face up to; because the Western world is not challenged from within the Western world, and so the logic of change has been disrupted. What I am talking about, and what we are facing, is actually a global system change. Conclusion: While Ukraine is asking us for more loans, negotiations are underway to write off the loans it has previously taken out. Today the creditors and Ukraine are arguing over whether it should repay 20 per cent or 60 per cent of the debt it has taken on. This is the reality of the situation. In other words, the European Union has to pay the price of this military adventure. The war has helped us to understand the real state of power in the world. It is a sign that in its mission the West has shot itself in the foot, and is therefore accelerating the changes that are transforming the world.

HHS Secretary Becerra just issued a PREP Act declaration for bird flu. This allows the FDA Commissioner to issue EUAs for bird flu vaccines, with no liability. The US government has ordered 4.8 million doses of bird flu from the CSL Sequirus company, produced in dog kidney cells and using a dangerous squalene-containing adjuvant. The AMA issued CPT codes for this vaccine last Friday, so doctors could be reimbursed for administering it.

Speaker 0: Hey, everybody. I wanna talk to you about a troubling, really alarming issue. The war in Ukraine has brought us closer to the brink of nuclear exchange and at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. I'm Robert f Kennedy junior, an independent candidate for president, and I'm extremely worried by the aggressive and reckless behavior of the congress and the Biden administration in Ukraine. Recently, the White House has been encouraging Ukraine to strike Russian territory, including their advanced warning radar systems. That tightens the hair trigger for nuclear conflict and destabilizes the entire globe. The Russians have now warned that they are willing to use nuclear weapons to win this conflict. The White House exacerbated that provocation with a villainous decision to assist Ukraine in making missile attacks on civilian targets in Crimea. We used illegal cluster bombs to massacre civilian beachgoers on a holiday, including many children. This is a war crime that is repugnant to every American value and strategically foolhardy. As every independent military expert has long predicted, the Russians are winning a war in Ukraine. The Biden White House and its allies, the mainstream media, have been lying to the American public and to the world when they promised a victory in Ukraine. Putin's already lost the war. We've now pushed Russia into a dangerous alliance with China and Iran. The Russians and Chinese can outman and outgun us with 21st century arsenals, including drones, hypersonic missiles, and cyber warfare. During the 20th century, nobody in the world could match America's production capacity, but that was before we our nation. Our country no longer has industrial base to fight and win a global war. Republican and democratic trade agreements over the last few decades have transferred our manufacturing base to China and other nations. A single Chinese company now makes 75% of the drones on earth. It's a simple thing for the Chinese to shift that industrial capacity to military production. Today, our naval fleets are decrepit and archaic as the Chinese turn out 21st century battleships every month. Russians have a 1,000 to 1500 more nuclear warheads than we do. For nearly 2 decades, American military policy has been devoted to enriching military contractors rather than our national defense. Our weapon systems are overengineered. They're overexpensive and impossible to scale to the numbers needed to fight a global war. Military morale and recruitments are at an historic low. Last year in 2023, military recruitments were down by 50%. The Biden White House is living in a 20th century delusion where American weapons can still easily dominate the globe. Either president Biden does not know the dire condition of America's military and material shortfalls, or he is unwilling to level with the American public about the cataclysmic weakness that is now exposing America's ballyhooed military superiority as a paper tiger. As I've warned for over a year, a victory in Ukraine was never a possibility, but the White House, nevertheless, staked its reputation on this outcome, and its growing desperation to save face is now endangering the world. A Pentagon assessment predicts that America will lose 90,000,000 dead in the first 24 hours of a nuclear exchange with Russia and another 90,000,000 over the next 6 months. That war would also be a calamity for all of humanity. The Biden White House's desperate escalations are simply madness, and they must stop. President Putin was willing to negotiate the Minsk Accords in 2019, and the United States government sabotaged that peace agreement. The Biden White House torpedoed yet another peace agreement with Russia in April of 2022. I now call for real peace talks right now with US, Russia, and Ukraine at the table. I'm asking for your help to get this message through to our government. Please email or call your member of congress or your senator and tell them how important it is to resolve this conflict before it gets any bigger. My website makes it very easy for you to do this.

Speaker 0: He is nuts and clearly disturbed, the standard. He's angry. Vanity Fair. His own family hates him. The New York Post, he sounds like he is transmitting from another galaxy. He is so crazy in New York Post. Kennedy is a humorless bully living in a paranoid fantasy, Vanity Fair. What the is wrong with Bobby Kennedy? Speaker 1: Oh, heck. Speaker 0: He's a walking, talking conspiracy theory at the New York Times. He's completely divorced from reality. The Guardian. He is vile. The White House. Being with him was a low point of my summer. Vanity Fair. Bobby Kennedy speaks with a croaking, rasping, painful sounding voice. His vague explanation is that it's a virus, but more likely it is a crack pipe voice, the standard. Kennedy is a crank in New York Times. He is a crank in New York Times. He's a crank who cranks out whoppers the way Taylor Swift disgorges perfect pop songs, The New York Times. He has conversations with dead people, The Guardian. I wouldn't talk to that guy either. Speaker 2: You're most likely going to have 3 choices for president on your ballot in November. This guy, this guy, and this guy. I realize you probably heard a lot of bad stuff about them these last few years, but what if the bad stuff you've heard wasn't even true? And what if there's a whole lot more to them than you even knew? Speaker 0: This pipeline is not gonna benefit the American people. I would have urge you not Speaker 3: to accept the shackles of the motto. We're being given this land so that we can build cities on a hill. Our civilization will be judged by future generations. Speaker 2: Either way, let's start with some irrefutable facts. This is Bobby Kennedy. This is Bobby Kennedy in 1962. This is his dad. This is his uncle, and this is his other uncle. He was born in 1954. He grew up in Virginia and Cape Cod. He has 7 kids. This is his wife, Cheryl. Speaker 0: Yes. She's Speaker 2: that Cheryl. He's an attorney. He's won hundreds of cases against companies like Monsanto, Mobil, Massey Energy, Dow Chemical, and a bunch of other big polluters. He's a surfer. He's a falconer. He's a rock climber. He's a river rafter. He's a hunter. He's an outdoorsman. He was a heroin addict and an alcoholic. He's been sober for decades. His voice sounds weird. That's because he has spasmodic dysphonia. It's a neurological disorder that can affect the voice and speech. He can do 25 pull ups in one go. I can do 3. He's 70 years old, and he's running for president as an independent. Speaker 4: Joe, why do you think Bobby's trying to get president? Speaker 5: I think he feels like this is what he's supposed to do. He has a calling. Speaker 4: Who lives there? Speaker 0: That's my mom. Speaker 3: Can you talk some of the, about some of the values you learned as a kid from your uncle and your father that you're taking with you on this campaign? Speaker 6: Oh. Speaker 0: We had a duty they felt. Make America exemplary for the rest of the world. I think the major issue that my uncle and father were interested in this country was keeping the country out of war and then the civil rights, audit government. Those were the principal themes of his of his administration. You know? And that was all in a woman with the basic Catholic church values that we learned in catechism, which is just honesty, integrity, courage, the golden rule being kind to other people, being kind to people even those who we don't like. Well, optimistic about the attention for our country to still live up to its ideals. Speaker 4: It used Speaker 0: to be that the democratic party owes censorship. It was the democratic party that wanted to reign in the military. It was the democratic party that fought corporate influence government, which is why Wall Street and the big corporations supported republicans. Well, now that's all changed. Right now, big oil funds the republicans, big tech funds the democrats, big pharma and the military contractors make sure to donate to both. Who is liberal now and who's conservative? Who's left and who's right? These labels make less and less sense. I've been fighting corporate corruption for 40 years. I know how they work. I know how to clean them up, and that's why I'm running for president, and that's why I'm running as an independent. I think this the country can be recovered and restored and can become a moral authority again in the world, which is what I want. And I I'm gonna work as hard as I can to make that happen. I started out my life wanting to be a veterinarian or a scientist, and my dad encouraged that. There was no pressure in our family to go into politics or or public service. When he died, I felt kind of an obligation to pick up the torch that he had dropped. And so I changed my career, Tringiak, Tring to align it more with his. Speaker 6: I think everybody in my family really feels that a lot of my father's goals and ideals are worth Purcell. Speaker 0: And I ended up going to Harvard, which my dad did. And I went to the University of Virginia and became a lawyer and went into the DA's office, which was all very much aligned with my father's path. But I wasn't meant for that space. And I think partially, my addiction was a reaction to that misalignment. I was doing things in my life that I was not intended to do. When I got sober, I reassessed my life and said, I've gotta get back to what I wanted to do myself, which was something to do with the outdoors. And so I went to work as an attorney for fishermen on the Hudson River, suing polluters. Speaker 3: This is a pipe from Speaker 0: the Putnam County Community Hospital Sewage Treatment Plant. That had contaminated the river and were destroying their livelihoods and their industry and their property value and their lives. And it made me happy to work for them. Everything that has happened in my life has led me to where I am right now. The deaths, the tragedies, the addiction, the recovery, finding a deep belief in God, it's the immodest to say those things. Running for president is inherently immodest. I believe now that I'm uniquely positioned to tackle the problems that our country is facing. Speaker 2: In his decades long battle to prevent big corporations from harming people, the wilderness, and our waterways, he was kinda like Aaron Brockovich, but a kennie. And he won hundreds of cases, mostly for people who couldn't get anyone else to take their case because it was such a long shot or the people that they were suing were so rich and powerful. Take the Hudson River for example. When Bobby started working to clean it up, it was so toxic that no one could swim in it. Rivers were catching on fire back then, and the pollution wasn't just a problem for recreation or health. It was killing the fishing industry that thrived for 100 of years, and GE refused to even admit they'd done anything wrong. What did Bobby do? He fought along side fishermen and concerned citizens for a decade, never giving up until the industrial giants who polluted it admitted they'd caused damage and paid to clean it up. The last artifact of democracy is, Speaker 0: in our country are are the law courts where little guys can get a voice. Speaker 2: That's your dove. Speaker 0: And that's what the inside of the kids' lungs are gonna look like too. Speaker 2: He fought and beat these big corporations because they had harmed the environment and, most importantly, the people living in that environment. It's a fight he's been in his whole adult life. Speaker 3: This battle that we're all fighting for today, that you're on the front lines of, this is the final battle. This is the battle against ignorance and greed. Speaker 1: Protecting the environment, protect the animal habitat, protecting, the air we breathe, those are not political issues. Those are issues that we should be concerned that our future generations can enjoy. Speaker 7: Here's a guy who is not talking about the environment. He is living with the environment. He's engaging with the environment. He is loving the environment. I remember staying over at his house with my sons, and I woke up in the morning and they were all gone. And I go down to the ocean, and there's Bobby teaching my 2 sons how to dredge along the shoreline and he's saying, this animal is this and this is so so that one you can't touch. This one pick it up. Yeah. And my boys are learning all of this stuff. And when I saw that, I thought I would love for a president to invite the children of America back into connection with their environment and how remarkable it would be to glorify this thing that we are built to love. Speaker 1: We're hunters. We're fishermen. The land is our grocery store. The land is still the largest employer. A project that's gonna dispossess us. The land that would be flooded would drive us off the land. And Robert f Kennedy understood the environmental impacts. Because of that, this political clout and his concern for a violation of human rights, concern for a free prior informed consent of indigenous peoples. We saved the river and saved the way of life. Speaker 2: He was so popular as a public official and an environmentalist, and he was so successful. There's a path he could have taken that I think most people would have taken. Don't rock the boat too much. Be a corporate friendly environmentalist. Speaker 0: Play by the rules. Speaker 2: Let big oil do what they want, let the chemical companies do what they want, let all the big ag companies screw over all the small farmers. But he didn't take that path. He couldn't take that path. He knew that the problem with accommodating big corporations is it doesn't make any real change. You need to be courageous to make real change. You need to rock the damn boat because the system doesn't just need tweaks at the margins. It actually needs a wholesale rethinking. Speaker 0: Yeah. This was when I got arrested in Vieques 34 days in O, which is a maximum security prison in Puerto Rico. The navy was staging invasions on Vieques that mimicked the Normandy invasion. The people on the island were almost all of them had been poisoned. The food was poisoned. The fish were poisoned. Speaker 8: Curiosity drives his intellect. Just his compassion mobilizes his soul. He's talking about power and the nature of power, the manipulation of power, and the exploitation of power. Speaker 5: You know, I saw him sue Monsanto on behalf of one man. You know, people said that that can't be done. You're not gonna win. Speaker 9: I basically would would take care of stuff like this. All the trees, all the bushes are supposed to also apply pesticide. I got sick applying, the herbicide. And I told my employer they weren't buying that, and they were like, we hired you to do this. That's what your contract says, and that's what contracts are. Right? So but I was fired. Speaker 0: If my life were a Superman comic book, Monsanto would be my Lex Luther. Speaker 9: My skin was really, really good skin before any of this happened. This thing slowly started. And then once it started, it didn't stop till they sent me to the doctor and got the results for cancer. Speaker 0: The doctor's prognosis of him was so desperate that it was unlikely that he would survive to try the second case. Speaker 9: You gotta realize I have full body skin cancer, and and at one point, it was it was totally out of control. Clothes were sticking to my wounds. Speaker 0: The odds were against us, but the outcome was so important that it justified those high risks. Speaker 9: At that press conference, he was literally emotional. He was very happy for me and my family and for Monsanto getting a swift one. Speaker 0: I don't think anybody thinks he'd be alive if he had not had 1,000,000 dollars to spend on medical care. Speaker 2: As a result of all this work, all these fights on behalf of the environment, he becomes one of the most popular and revered people in America. He's giving 80 speeches a year to groups all over the country. He's talked about as a candidate for higher office. He's offered the US senate seat for the state of New York, a job his dad had. He turns it down. It's hard to get more revered than this guy. Speaker 10: My name is Lynn Redwood. Bobby refers to me as the woman who ruined his career. I knew that he was going around the country lecturing about the dangers of mercury. Speaker 0: So these women start showing up at every lecture that I give. Speaker 10: Literally thousands of parents. Speaker 0: And they believed that their children had been injured by vaccines. They would say to me, if you're really interested in mercury exposures to children, you need to look at the vaccines. Now this is something I didn't wanna do. Speaker 10: And it wasn't until one of the mothers was able to carry our documents to his house. Speaker 0: A pile of scientific studies that was 18 inches thick. Speaker 10: Knock on his door and convince him to read them. Speaker 0: When I read that, then I was like, okay. I I gotta drop everything and do something about this. Speaker 10: He wrote an article, and it was where he covered the minutes to a private meeting that CDC had where they acknowledge these signals in the data between exposure to the vaccines autism. When they walked out of that meeting, that was not ever shared with the public. Speaker 0: I was kinda shocked by the just the power of the reaction against it. Rolling Stone and Salon, which also published it, were just bulldozed with, you know, these hate reactions. And then under pressure, so on tapes it down. Speaker 2: Here's the deal. There are only 2 entities in America who are immune from litigation. The US Army Corps of Engineers and pharmaceutical companies in their production of vaccines. That's it. And the rest of us are held accountable when we harm someone, but not big pharma's vaccines. Speaker 7: Way before any presidential campaign, I was struck by seeing somebody who was willing to take on fights against weapons manufacturers that are the biggest lobbyists in DC And then big pharma which has now become the biggest lobbyists in DC. And when I first heard of him, he was, working against mercury in fish. Nobody ever said he was anti fish. But as soon as he was interested in getting mercury out of childhood vaccines, then suddenly he's anti vaccine, a pejorative. Speaker 10: He knows about the corruption. So, you know, the attacks, the names that he's called, he knows in his heart that he's right. Speaker 5: He gets it from his family. His father, especially, didn't care who liked him or didn't like him. When Bobby knows that there's an injustice going on, it consumes him. Speaker 1: He's a truth teller. He has a desire to set things right. Speaker 0: Thanks to pleasure from millions of people. They've taken mercury out of most vaccines, but pharmaceutical companies are still immune from prosecution and litigation. And vaccines aren't subject to the same rigorous safety testing as other medicines. And that's not right. Companies who aren't people have to be held accountable. Speaker 7: This industry is powerful, and it has deep ties with media, and it has deep ties with government. Speaker 2: Why do you think these drug companies are spending so much money on ads during the news? It's not to sell their products. They're doing just fine with with that. It's because they want to control the message. Speaker 7: They hate Bobby Kennedy. There is a person standing in their way like a student standing in front of one of those tanks in Tiananmen Square. Speaker 0: I fear that a rushed COVID vaccine wouldn't be as safe or as effective as we were promised. And I also felt that lockdowns were gonna do more harm than good, especially to small businesses and to children. But when I made those arguments publicly, I was silenced. Speaker 2: So powerful corporations and partners in the media have a playbook they use on you when you beat them too much and in areas you can cost them real money. They implemented every page in the playbook on Bobby when he decided to question the absolute moral purity of the gods of big pharma. Pharma was apparently beyond reproach. And when Bobby questioned them, his adoring press turned faster than the weather in Texas. Speaker 11: I did press on presidential campaigns and campaigns in general for almost 20 years. What generally happens with people like me is when we're done with the trench warfare of campaigns, which is low paying and grueling work, Big corporations hire people like me to come inside and implement the playbook, defend them from attacks and run an offensive attack against people that the corporation doesn't like or who is threatening the corporation. And here's the way the playbook works. 1st, they attack you broadly and they question your facts. They say you're lying and it's ferocious. But if you keep on moving after that, they move on to character assassination. They take on who you are as a person. They dig up everything bad in your past and leak it to the press. If you had a fender bender, you're a reckless driver. If you paid a bill late, you're a deadbeat and so on and so on. On. Every part of your life goes under their microscope. They try to embarrass you. They try to make you say this fight isn't worth what it's costing me and you quit. But if that doesn't stop you, and it stops most people but it didn't stop Bobby, they say you're a liar. If liar doesn't work, they say you're an anti semite and a racist. No two slurs in America are worse than those. No slur except crazy. Crazy or kook or crank or nut job are their mainstays. That's their nuclear option. Because if they can get everyone to dismiss you as a wacko nutjob RFK Junior spreading some really deranged lies. Speaker 9: I I Speaker 0: mean, his own family doesn't support him. Speaker 11: Everything you say is suspect and then they can get back to selling whatever thing it is you said might not be safe. And here's the thing, it works. Like damn near a 100% of the time it works. Speaker 0: There was a period of time and, you know, when I was a kid when doctors were recommending that you smoke cigarettes. There's advertisements. Speaker 11: Have you seen that movie the insider with Russell Crowe and Al Pacino? Russell Crowe plays a whistleblower, Jeffrey Wigan. It's a true story. He worked at a tobacco company and he blew the whistle on Big Tobacco. He said that cigarettes and tobacco were shocker, addictive, and cancer causing. Speaker 0: We are in the nicotine delivery business. Speaker 11: That's what he told the truth. What did they do? Big Tobacco destroyed him and they use the playbook to do it. And here's the thing, if all the publications and TV shows you trust, tell you someone's a crazy person, they must be a crazy person. Right? Speaker 2: When you can just make things up, that must feel good Speaker 11: to him. Wrong. A lot of times, the crazy person is just someone brave enough to speak truth to power. But it's not like the playbook didn't work to a large degree. This is New York Magazine in 1995. This is New York Magazine in 2023. This is Vanity Fair in 2006. This is Vanity Fair in 2023. This is Rolling Stone in 1992. This is Rolling Stone in 2023. Standing up to them exacts a real cost, and that's why they do it. Speaker 0: I just thought it was important. Speaker 4: And what was the cost? Speaker 0: The cost was that I lost a lot of friendships, lost my jobs at the environmental groups. I lost the relationships that I built over maybe 50 years in life. I had close friends who just told me they couldn't be my friend anymore. So now I'm subject to this new form of which is called targeted propaganda where people apply pejoratives like anti vaxx. I've never been to any vaccine, but everybody in this room probably believes that I have been because that's the prevailing narrative. My children are vaxxed. I I'm fully compliant with the vaccine schedule myself except for COVID. I have never been anti vaxxed, antisemitism, racism. These are the most appalling, disgusting pejoratives, and they're applied to me to silence me. If somebody shows me a fact that I'm wrong, I'm gonna change my opinion, and I'll apologize. By calling me names is about an argument. Speaker 4: Bobby actually encourages healthy debate. That is the environment he's going to create in the country. Healthy debate, honest conversation, and a way forward that is derived from consensus is what's happening inside of the campaign. Speaker 9: Now we need to Speaker 4: have that happen inside the country at a large scale. Speaker 0: I read that, you know, Speaker 11: some of your family is against you running for president. Speaker 0: Well, I have a big family. I think last time we did a count at July 4th, there was something like a 105 Kennedys. So it's not surprising that 4 or 5 of them, you know, don't agree with every decision that I make. Speaker 8: You know, I don't agree with Bobby on all issues. I don't expect to agree with my president on all issues. But what I take away from his stand on vaccines is that here's a man of the courage of his convictions. And he maintained those convictions in the face of incredible, opposition and enormous expense. Speaker 0: The other thing is, you know, my family was raised to debating each other. Every night at dinner, my father would choose debate topics, and we would debate each other with passion, but also with respect and congeniality. I wish the same thing for our country. I wish that we could all disagree with each other on political issues and still see each other as part of a family. My father used to tell us that we should always do the most difficult thing. He'd say, do the thing that scares you most. If something frightens you, maybe you should do it. Because each time you do that, it gives you the opportunity to find the hero inside of yourself. Our duty while we're here on Earth is to embrace whatever destiny befalls us. And knowing that, the more difficult a challenge is, you know, the more unpleasant or or tragic the circumstance of our lives, then all of those things are actually gifts. They're opportunities because we come by surviving them and enduring them. We come away with a greater strength of character and wisdom. And we're not here on the earth to just make a big pile for ourselves, and whoever dies with the most stuff wins. Speaker 12: I've noted already today how former president Trump is beating president Biden in 5 out of 6 battleground states in a hypothetical matchup. But if Robert f Kennedy junior's name is specifically added to that ballot as a third option, then nearly a quarter of voters said they would choose him over Trump or Biden, RFK junior, pulling between 22 26% of support among among swing state voters in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia. Yep. Among Gen z and millennial voters, he's beating both Biden and Trump. Speaker 11: If these numbers hold, he actually has a chance to win the presidency. Speaker 3: The RFK Jr factor is more serious than I may even consider to be for you. RFK Jr is polling better than any independent candidate since 1992. Speaker 2: He is a serious breath of fresh air. The student's a powerhouse. Speaker 10: Veteran political journalists have urged, do not ignore Robert f Kennedy junior. Speaker 3: Democrats are in a total panic that RFP junior could Speaker 4: spoil Joe Biden's reelection. Speaker 3: I like eating mistakes like this. I Robert Kennedy junior officially naming attorney and entrepreneur, Nicole Shanahan, for his running mate. Speaker 5: For the first time in this campaign, I'm hearing, oh, he could actually win. I've had friends text me, your husband could actually win this. Like, yeah. I know. Same. Speaker 0: A new NBC News poll shows 34% of voters suggesting they could see themselves supporting him. Speaker 7: I've watched so many of your interviews, and people just heard you good luck. You're so reasonable and to check what people were. You're the Speaker 2: first person in my lifetime as a 26 year old who I have actually been excited about. Speaker 13: I appreciate his authenticity, period. He is curious. He's willing to admit, his mistakes and his failures. He's willing to change his mind based on facts presented to him, and I I do believe he truly cares about humanity and making, this country better and making the world better because of that. Speaker 4: May I ask you a big question? Yeah. Why are you doing this? Speaker 0: Doing what? Running for. Well, because I don't like the way they're the country Scully. I didn't like the wars. I didn't like the censorship. I don't like the addiction to war. Both political parties are now the war party. I don't like the corporate capture of our government. It's a rough purager of state and corporate power. Power. Speaker 1: Alright. Speaker 0: And I think I'm in a unique position to be able to unravel it. Speaker 6: You have a family of, political know how. But have you committed yourself to the political future? I don't think so. I think I'll probably do some form of, public service. I think everybody in my family really feels that a lot of my father's goals and ideas are worth pursuing. Speaker 0: The good news is that people like yourselves are finally fed up. Something is stirring in us that says it doesn't have to be this way. Speaker 1: Here's a man that's gone through a lot that I think would understand the plight of the American people. Speaker 10: There's that movable middle of 70% of the people that wanna bring our country back together. Speaker 8: He has a powerful dream of America. What American doesn't want this horrible divide between red and blue to be bridged? Speaker 1: If I were to take on corruption at the highest level of governments, I would want him in my corner. Speaker 5: He's saying things that make sense and that resonate with people. When someone experiences that, they they feel a connection with him. They think, oh, he's actually a lot like me. Look at his track record. Speaker 10: Look at the things he's accomplished in his life. Speaker 1: The native name I would give Bobby would be, one who sees the mountain and moves it. He's a mountain mover and he's a nation shaker. Speaker 0: If you read and listen to what I've actually said, and on election day, you think I'm crazy or any of the other disqualifying things that they've said about me, please don't vote for me. I hope you read and listen to what I've said and arrive at the conclusion that together you and I can turn this country around Because I believe that together we can make the dream of a stronger, more prosperous, more united America, an America controlled by you and not big corporations, a reality.

I would have urge you not Speaker 3: to accept the shackles of the motto. We're being given this land so that we can build cities on a hill. Our civilization will be judged by future generations. Speaker 2: Either way, let's start with some irrefutable facts. This is Bobby Kennedy. This is Bobby Kennedy in 1962. This is his dad. This is his uncle, and this is his other uncle. He was born in 1954. He grew up in Virginia and Cape Cod. He has 7 kids. This is his wife, Cheryl. Speaker 0: Yes. She's Speaker 2: that Cheryl. He's an attorney. He's won hundreds of cases against companies like Monsanto, Mobil, Massey Energy, Dow Chemical, and a bunch of other big polluters. He's a surfer. He's a falconer. He's a rock climber. He's a river rafter. He's a hunter. He's an outdoorsman. He was a heroin addict and an alcoholic. He's been sober for decades. His voice sounds weird. That's because he has spasmodic dysphonia.

Speaker 4: Joe, why do you think Bobby's trying to get president? Speaker 5: I think he feels like this is what he's supposed to do. He has a calling. Speaker 4: Who lives there? Speaker 0: That's my mom. Speaker 3: Can you talk some of the, about some of the values you learned as a kid from your uncle and your father that you're taking with you on this campaign? Speaker 6: Oh. Speaker 0: We had a duty they felt. Make America exemplary for the rest of the world. I think the major issue that my uncle and father were interested in this country was keeping the country out of war and then the civil rights, audit government. Those were the principal themes of his of his administration. You know? And that was all in a woman with the basic Catholic church values that we learned in catechism, which is just honesty, integrity, courage, the golden rule being kind to other people, being kind to people even those who we don't like. Well, optimistic about the attention for our country to still live up to its ideals. Speaker 4: It used Speaker 0: to be that the democratic party owes censorship. It was the democratic party that wanted to reign in the military. It was the democratic party that fought corporate influence government, which is why Wall Street and the big corporations supported republicans. Well, now that's all changed. Right now, big oil funds the republicans, big tech funds the democrats, big pharma and the military contractors make sure to donate to both. Who is liberal now and who's conservative? Who's left and who's right? These labels make less and less sense. I've been fighting corporate corruption for 40 years. I know how they work. I know how to clean them up, and that's why I'm running for president, and that's why I'm running as an independent. I think this the country can be recovered and restored and can become a moral authority again in the world, which is what I want. And I I'm gonna work as hard as I can to make that happen. I started out my life wanting to be a veterinarian or a scientist, and my dad encouraged that. There was no pressure in our family to go into politics or or public service. When he died, I felt kind of an obligation to pick up the torch that he had dropped. And so I changed my career, Tringiak, Tring to align it more with his. Speaker 6: I think everybody in my family really feels that a lot of my father's goals and ideals are worth Purcell. Speaker 0: And I ended up going to Harvard, which my dad did. And I went to the University of Virginia and became a lawyer and went into the DA's office, which was all very much aligned with my father's path. But I wasn't meant for that space. And I think partially, my addiction was a reaction to that misalignment. I was doing things in my life that I was not intended to do. When I got sober, I reassessed my life and said, I've gotta get back to what I wanted to do myself, which was something to do with the outdoors. And so I went to work as an attorney for fishermen on the Hudson River, suing polluters. Speaker 3: This is a pipe from Speaker 0: the Putnam County Community Hospital Sewage Treatment Plant. That had contaminated the river and were destroying their livelihoods and their industry and their property value and their lives. And it made me happy to work for them. Everything that has happened in my life has led me to where I am right now. The deaths, the tragedies, the addiction, the recovery, finding a deep belief in God, it's the immodest to say those things. Running for president is inherently immodest. I believe now that I'm uniquely positioned to tackle the problems that our country is facing. Speaker 2: In his decades long battle to prevent big corporations from harming people, the wilderness, and our waterways, he was kinda like Aaron Brockovich, but a kennie. And he won hundreds of cases, mostly for people who couldn't get anyone else to take their case because it was such a long shot or the people that they were suing were so rich and powerful. Take the Hudson River for example. When Bobby started working to clean it up, it was so toxic that no one could swim in it. Rivers were catching on fire back then, and the pollution wasn't just a problem for recreation or health. It was killing the fishing industry that thrived for 100 of years, and GE refused to even admit they'd done anything wrong. What did Bobby do? He fought along side fishermen and concerned citizens for a decade, never giving up until the industrial giants who polluted it admitted they'd caused damage and paid to clean it up. The last artifact of democracy is, Speaker 0: in our country are are the law courts where little guys can get a voice. Speaker 2: That's your dove. Speaker 0: And that's what the inside of the kids' lungs are gonna look like too. Speaker 2: He fought and beat these big corporations because they had harmed the environment and, most importantly, the people living in that environment. It's a fight he's been in his whole adult life. Speaker 3: This battle that we're all fighting for today, that you're on the front lines of, this is the final battle. This is the battle against ignorance and greed. Speaker 1: Protecting the environment, protect the animal habitat, protecting, the air we breathe, those are not political issues. Those are issues that we should be concerned that our future generations can enjoy. Speaker 7: Here's a guy who is not talking about the environment. He is living with the environment. He's engaging with the environment. He is loving the environment. I remember staying over at his house with my sons, and I woke up in the morning and they were all gone. And I go down to the ocean, and there's Bobby teaching my 2 sons how to dredge along the shoreline and he's saying, this animal is this and this is so so that one you can't touch. This one pick it up. Yeah. And my boys are learning all of this stuff. And when I saw that, I thought I would love for a president to invite the children of America back into connection with their environment and how remarkable it would be to glorify this thing that we are built to love. Speaker 1: We're hunters. We're fishermen. The land is our grocery store. The land is still the largest employer. A project that's gonna dispossess us. The land that would be flooded would drive us off the land. And Robert f Kennedy understood the environmental impacts. Because of that, this political clout and his concern for a violation of human rights, concern for a free prior informed consent of indigenous peoples. We saved the river and saved the way of life. Speaker 2: He was so popular as a public official and an environmentalist, and he was so successful. There's a path he could have taken that I think most people would have taken. Don't rock the boat too much. Be a corporate friendly environmentalist. Speaker 0: Play by the rules. Speaker 2: Let big oil do what they want, let the chemical companies do what they want, let all the big ag companies screw over all the small farmers. But he didn't take that path. He couldn't take that path. He knew that the problem with accommodating big corporations is it doesn't make any real change. You need to be courageous to make real change. You need to rock the damn boat because the system doesn't just need tweaks at the margins. It actually needs a wholesale rethinking. Speaker 0: Yeah. This was when I got arrested in Vieques 34 days in O, which is a maximum security prison in Puerto Rico. The navy was staging invasions on Vieques that mimicked the Normandy invasion. The people on the island were almost all of them had been poisoned. The food was poisoned. The fish were poisoned. Speaker 8: Curiosity drives his intellect. Just his compassion mobilizes his soul. He's talking about power and the nature of power, the manipulation of power, and the exploitation of power. Speaker 5: You know, I saw him sue Monsanto on behalf of one man. You know, people said that that can't be done. You're not gonna win. Speaker 9: I basically would would take care of stuff like this. All the trees, all the bushes are supposed to also apply pesticide. I got sick applying, the herbicide. And I told my employer they weren't buying that, and they were like, we hired you to do this. That's what your contract says, and that's what contracts are. Right? So but I was fired. Speaker 0: If my life were a Superman comic book, Monsanto would be my Lex Luther. Speaker 9: My skin was really, really good skin before any of this happened. This thing slowly started. And then once it started, it didn't stop till they sent me to the doctor and got the results for cancer. Speaker 0: The doctor's prognosis of him was so desperate that it was unlikely that he would survive to try the second case. Speaker 9: You gotta realize I have full body skin cancer, and and at one point, it was it was totally out of control. Clothes were sticking to my wounds. Speaker 0: The odds were against us, but the outcome was so important that it justified those high risks. Speaker 9: At that press conference, he was literally emotional. He was very happy for me and my family and for Monsanto getting a swift one. Speaker 0: I don't think anybody thinks he'd be alive if he had not had 1,000,000 dollars to spend on medical care. Speaker 2: As a result of all this work, all these fights on behalf of the environment, he becomes one of the most popular and revered people in America. He's giving 80 speeches a year to groups all over the country. He's talked about as a candidate for higher office. He's offered the US senate seat for the state of New York, a job his dad had. He turns it down. It's hard to get more revered than this guy. Speaker 10: My name is Lynn Redwood. Bobby refers to me as the woman who ruined his career. I knew that he was going around the country lecturing about the dangers of mercury. Speaker 0: So these women start showing up at every lecture that I give. Speaker 10: Literally thousands of parents. Speaker 0: And they believed that their children had been injured by vaccines. They would say to me, if you're really interested in mercury exposures to children, you need to look at the vaccines. Now this is something I didn't wanna do. Speaker 10: And it wasn't until one of the mothers was able to carry our documents to his house. Speaker 0: A pile of scientific studies that was 18 inches thick. Speaker 10: Knock on his door and convince him to read them. Speaker 0: When I read that, then I was like, okay. I I gotta drop everything and do something about this. Speaker 10: He wrote an article, and it was where he covered the minutes to a private meeting that CDC had where they acknowledge these signals in the data between exposure to the vaccines autism. When they walked out of that meeting, that was not ever shared with the public. Speaker 0: I was kinda shocked by the just the power of the reaction against it. Rolling Stone and Salon, which also published it, were just bulldozed with, you know, these hate reactions. And then under pressure, so on tapes it down. Speaker 2: Here's the deal. There are only 2 entities in America who are immune from litigation. The US Army Corps of Engineers and pharmaceutical companies in their production of vaccines. That's it. And the rest of us are held accountable when we harm someone, but not big pharma's vaccines. Speaker 7: Way before any presidential campaign, I was struck by seeing somebody who was willing to take on fights against weapons manufacturers that are the biggest lobbyists in DC And then big pharma which has now become the biggest lobbyists in DC. And when I first heard of him, he was, working against mercury in fish. Nobody ever said he was anti fish. But as soon as he was interested in getting mercury out of childhood vaccines, then suddenly he's anti vaccine, a pejorative. Speaker 10: He knows about the corruption. So, you know, the attacks, the names that he's called, he knows in his heart that he's right. Speaker 5: He gets it from his family. His father, especially, didn't care who liked him or didn't like him. When Bobby knows that there's an injustice going on, it consumes him. Speaker 1: He's a truth teller. He has a desire to set things right. Speaker 0: Thanks to pleasure from millions of people. They've taken mercury out of most vaccines, but pharmaceutical companies are still immune from prosecution and litigation. And vaccines aren't subject to the same rigorous safety testing as other medicines. And that's not right. Companies who aren't people have to be held accountable. Speaker 7: This industry is powerful, and it has deep ties with media, and it has deep ties with government. Speaker 2: Why do you think these drug companies are spending so much money on ads during the news? It's not to sell their products. They're doing just fine with with that. It's because they want to control the message. Speaker 7: They hate Bobby Kennedy. There is a person standing in their way like a student standing in front of one of those tanks in Tiananmen Square. Speaker 0: I fear that a rushed COVID vaccine wouldn't be as safe or as effective as we were promised. And I also felt that lockdowns were gonna do more harm than good, especially to small businesses and to children. But when I made those arguments publicly, I was silenced. Speaker 2: So powerful corporations and partners in the media have a playbook they use on you when you beat them too much and in areas you can cost them real money. They implemented every page in the playbook on Bobby when he decided to question the absolute moral purity of the gods of big pharma. Pharma was apparently beyond reproach. And when Bobby questioned them, his adoring press turned faster than the weather in Texas. Speaker 11: I did press on presidential campaigns and campaigns in general for almost 20 years. What generally happens with people like me is when we're done with the trench warfare of campaigns, which is low paying and grueling work, Big corporations hire people like me to come inside and implement the playbook, defend them from attacks and run an offensive attack against people that the corporation doesn't like or who is threatening the corporation. And here's the way the playbook works. 1st, they attack you broadly and they question your facts. They say you're lying and it's ferocious. But if you keep on moving after that, they move on to character assassination. They take on who you are as a person. They dig up everything bad in your past and leak it to the press. If you had a fender bender, you're a reckless driver. If you paid a bill late, you're a deadbeat and so on and so on. On. Every part of your life goes under their microscope. They try to embarrass you. They try to make you say this fight isn't worth what it's costing me and you quit. But if that doesn't stop you, and it stops most people but it didn't stop Bobby, they say you're a liar. If liar doesn't work, they say you're an anti semite and a racist. No two slurs in America are worse than those. No slur except crazy. Crazy or kook or crank or nut job are their mainstays. That's their nuclear option. Because if they can get everyone to dismiss you as a wacko nutjob RFK Junior spreading some really deranged lies. Speaker 9: I I Speaker 0: mean, his own family doesn't support him. Speaker 11: Everything you say is suspect and then they can get back to selling whatever thing it is you said might not be safe. And here's the thing, it works. Like damn near a 100% of the time it works. Speaker 0: There was a period of time and, you know, when I was a kid when doctors were recommending that you smoke cigarettes. There's advertisements. Speaker 11: Have you seen that movie the insider with Russell Crowe and Al Pacino? Russell Crowe plays a whistleblower, Jeffrey Wigan. It's a true story. He worked at a tobacco company and he blew the whistle on Big Tobacco. He said that cigarettes and tobacco were shocker, addictive, and cancer causing. Speaker 0: We are in the nicotine delivery business. Speaker 11: That's what he told the truth. What did they do? Big Tobacco destroyed him and they use the playbook to do it. And here's the thing, if all the publications and TV shows you trust, tell you someone's a crazy person, they must be a crazy person. Right? Speaker 2: When you can just make things up, that must feel good Speaker 11: to him. Wrong. A lot of times, the crazy person is just someone brave enough to speak truth to power. But it's not like the playbook didn't work to a large degree. This is New York Magazine in 1995. This is New York Magazine in 2023. This is Vanity Fair in 2006. This is Vanity Fair in 2023. This is Rolling Stone in 1992. This is Rolling Stone in 2023. Standing up to them exacts a real cost, and that's why they do it. Speaker 0: I just thought it was important. Speaker 4: And what was the cost? Speaker 0: The cost was that I lost a lot of friendships, lost my jobs at the environmental groups. I lost the relationships that I built over maybe 50 years in life. I had close friends who just told me they couldn't be my friend anymore. So now I'm subject to this new form of which is called targeted propaganda where people apply pejoratives like anti vaxx. I've never been to any vaccine, but everybody in this room probably believes that I have been because that's the prevailing narrative. My children are vaxxed. I I'm fully compliant with the vaccine schedule myself except for COVID. I have never been anti vaxxed, antisemitism, racism. These are the most appalling, disgusting pejoratives, and they're applied to me to silence me. If somebody shows me a fact that I'm wrong, I'm gonna change my opinion, and I'll apologize. By calling me names is about an argument. Speaker 4: Bobby actually encourages healthy debate. That is the environment he's going to create in the country. Healthy debate, honest conversation, and a way forward that is derived from consensus is what's happening inside of the campaign. Speaker 9: Now we need to Speaker 4: have that happen inside the country at a large scale. Speaker 0: I read that, you know, Speaker 11: some of your family is against you running for president. Speaker 0: Well, I have a big family. I think last time we did a count at July 4th, there was something like a 105 Kennedys. So it's not surprising that 4 or 5 of them, you know, don't agree with every decision that I make. Speaker 8: You know, I don't agree with Bobby on all issues. I don't expect to agree with my president on all issues. But what I take away from his stand on vaccines is that here's a man of the courage of his convictions. And he maintained those convictions in the face of incredible, opposition and enormous expense. Speaker 0: The other thing is, you know, my family was raised to debating each other. Every night at dinner, my father would choose debate topics, and we would debate each other with passion, but also with respect and congeniality. I wish the same thing for our country. I wish that we could all disagree with each other on political issues and still see each other as part of a family. My father used to tell us that we should always do the most difficult thing. He'd say, do the thing that scares you most. If something frightens you, maybe you should do it. Because each time you do that, it gives you the opportunity to find the hero inside of yourself. Our duty while we're here on Earth is to embrace whatever destiny befalls us. And knowing that, the more difficult a challenge is, you know, the more unpleasant or or tragic the circumstance of our lives, then all of those things are actually gifts. They're opportunities because we come by surviving them and enduring them. We come away with a greater strength of character and wisdom. And we're not here on the earth to just make a big pile for ourselves, and whoever dies with the most stuff wins. Speaker 12: I've noted already today how former president Trump is beating president Biden in 5 out of 6 battleground states in a hypothetical matchup. But if Robert f Kennedy junior's name is specifically added to that ballot as a third option, then nearly a quarter of voters said they would choose him over Trump or Biden, RFK junior, pulling between 22 26% of support among among swing state voters in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia. Yep. Among Gen z and millennial voters, he's beating both Biden and Trump. Speaker 11: If these numbers hold, he actually has a chance to win the presidency. Speaker 3: The RFK Jr factor is more serious than I may even consider to be for you. RFK Jr is polling better than any independent candidate since 1992. Speaker 2: He is a serious breath of fresh air. The student's a powerhouse. Speaker 10: Veteran political journalists have urged, do not ignore Robert f Kennedy junior. Speaker 3: Democrats are in a total panic that RFP junior could Speaker 4: spoil Joe Biden's reelection. Speaker 3: I like eating mistakes like this. I Robert Kennedy junior officially naming attorney and entrepreneur, Nicole Shanahan, for his running mate. Speaker 5: For the first time in this campaign, I'm hearing, oh, he could actually win. I've had friends text me, your husband could actually win this. Like, yeah. I know. Same. Speaker 0: A new NBC News poll shows 34% of voters suggesting they could see themselves supporting him. Speaker 7: I've watched so many of your interviews, and people just heard you good luck. You're so reasonable and to check what people were. You're the Speaker 2: first person in my lifetime as a 26 year old who I have actually been excited about. Speaker 13: I appreciate his authenticity, period. He is curious. He's willing to admit, his mistakes and his failures. He's willing to change his mind based on facts presented to him, and I I do believe he truly cares about humanity and making, this country better and making the world better because of that. Speaker 4: May I ask you a big question? Yeah. Why are you doing this? Speaker 0: Doing what? Running for. Well, because I don't like the way they're the country Scully. I didn't like the wars. I didn't like the censorship. I don't like the addiction to war. Both political parties are now the war party. I don't like the corporate capture of our government. It's a rough purager of state and corporate power. Power. Speaker 1: Alright. Speaker 0: And I think I'm in a unique position to be able to unravel it. Speaker 6: You have a family of, political know how. But have you committed yourself to the political future? I don't think so. I think I'll probably do some form of, public service. I think everybody in my family really feels that a lot of my father's goals and ideas are worth pursuing. Speaker 0: The good news is that people like yourselves are finally fed up. Something is stirring in us that says it doesn't have to be this way. Speaker 1: Here's a man that's gone through a lot that I think would understand the plight of the American people. Speaker 10: There's that movable middle of 70% of the people that wanna bring our country back together. Speaker 8: He has a powerful dream of America. What American doesn't want this horrible divide between red and blue to be bridged? Speaker 1: If I were to take on corruption at the highest level of governments, I would want him in my corner. Speaker 5: He's saying things that make sense and that resonate with people. When someone experiences that, they they feel a connection with him. They think, oh, he's actually a lot like me. Look at his track record. Speaker 10: Look at the things he's accomplished in his life. Speaker 1: The native name I would give Bobby would be, one who sees the mountain and moves it. He's a mountain mover and he's a nation shaker. Speaker 0: If you read and listen to what I've actually said, and on election day, you think I'm crazy or any of the other disqualifying things that they've said about me, please don't vote for me. I hope you read and listen to what I've said and arrive at the conclusion that together you and I can turn this country around Because I believe that together we can make the dream of a stronger, more prosperous, more united America, an America controlled by you and not big corporations, a reality.

Full Transcript
Speaker 0: I'm Robert f Kennedy junior, and I'm running as an independent candidate for president of the United States. I grew up in an America that seemed to have achieved its promise as an exemplary nation. Modern democracy has spread from 1 nation of ours in 17/76 to 6 by 18/65 and to a 190 by the 19 sixties. We had become the city on the hill. We were a moral authority around the globe. Our government institutions, our congress, the court, the regulatory agencies, and even the American press were renowned for their integrity, and they were revered worldwide. Other nations wanted our American leadership. They knew the difference between leadership and bullying, which is something our current leaders seem to have forgotten. We were the template of liberty, proof that for a country to thrive, its people must be free, free to speak, free to worship, free to build great companies, free to start small businesses. We were the freest country in the world, and by no coincidence, also the most prosperous. Working Americans could provide for their families on a single salary. They could buy a home, raise a family, save for retirement without mountains of debt. We made the best music. We made the best movies. We made gold standard automobiles that everybody in the world wanted. We made blue jeans. We reconstructed Europe. We put men on the moon. We're the world's healthiest, best educated children. Our productivity, ingenuity, our can do spirit, we're the envy of the world. We had confidence in our strength, our capacity, and a limitless potential of our country. Yeah. We had serious racial and environmental problems, but in the heavy days of my years, the environmental movement and the civil rights movement were picking up steam. My father and some of his allies were fighting to eliminate the last pockets of hunger in Appalachia, in the Mississippi Delta, and on the Indian reservations. And we became, for the first time, a true constitutional democracy in this country with all races voting and holding political office. Other countries aspire to be like us, and our children grew up proud of their passport, proud of their flag. My uncle, president Kennedy, left us a legacy of peace in the hope of ending the arms race and winding down the cold war. Those were the traditions of freedom, prosperity, and peace that my father, my uncle, and Martin Luther King Junior were striving to protect and advance. In the half century since their deaths, we've lost touch with that vision for our country. But I wanna tell you right now that we can still restore that America, the America that almost was and yet maybe. But we have to start by being honest with ourselves. Neither my uncle nor my father would recognize the version of America that we have today. We become a nation of chronic illness, of violence, of loneliness, depression, and division, and poverty. Our great cities are becoming tenten. Modern day Hooverville is filled with undocumented immigrants and dispossessed Americans and people living in their cars plagued by mental illness and addiction and despair. Our border has come under the control of criminal drug cartels and traffic and desolation and fentanyl and in buzzloads of desperate human beings. Our children are drowning in a crisis of alienation, of dispossession, and complete disconnection from their communities. We've lost far more of our young people to drugs in the last decade than in the 20 year Vietnam War. We've printed 9 centuries worth of money in a little over a decade and spent $8,000,000,000,000 on regime change Those wars have made America less safe, our country less strong, and the world far less stable while sending prices through the roof as our infrastructure falls apart. Tens of millions of young Americans no longer even dream of owning their own home. What happened to America, the land of opportunity where you could be sure that if you worked hard and played by the rules, that you would have a decent life. All the new wealth of the last generation has gone to the billionaires and to transnational corporations while our tattered middle class, our infrastructure, our industry have been hollowed out from the inside. Instead of promise, we've left our kids sick and drowning in debt. The public debt has gone from about $5,000,000,000,000 under president George w Bush to $34,000,000,000,000 today, and US household debt is at a record high of $17,300,000,000,000. If you include discouraged workers, our true unemployment rate is 23%. Young parents face housing, grocery, and child care costs that are unaffordable. Too many Americans are living bleak and hopeless lives, dreading the one medical emergency or the car repair that will tip them over the edge into homelessness. We rank 40th globally in our people's health and wellness. Out of the richest countries in the world, the United States is 35th in child poverty rates just above Mexico. We rank 36th in literacy and 45th in press freedom. We have one of the highest cancer rates in the world, and our life expectancy now ranks 59th according to the World Bank. That's right behind Algeria, which spends less than 1 30th per capita of what we spend. But even these grim figures hide the full picture of our dire health crisis. We now have the worst health outcomes in the rich world, the highest maternal mortality rates, the highest number of gun deaths per capita, and the highest number of teen pregnancies. We lead the world in obesity and chronic disease. According to CDC, 60% of Americans have at least one chronic condition. When my uncle was president, only 6% of Americans had chronic disease. And all of these plights fall heaviest on our young people, 4 in 10 of them suffered depression, and a half of them have considered suicide. 1 in 10 has anxiety. 1 in 10 has ADHD. 1 in 5 is obese. It's time for us to say enough is enough. We were once a free and thriving nation, the healthiest and strongest in the world. What we once were, we can be again. How do I know that? It's because everywhere I go in this country, I see a profound determination among Americans to heal. We might have become the sickest country on earth, but we also have the most ingenious healers, both inside and outside conventional medicine. We may have sky high levels of depression and addiction, but we also have innovators who have opened up new frontiers in recovery. We have some of the world's most depleted agricultural soils, but also some of the world's most innovative and energetic regenerative farmers. We have serious economic problems, but we also have the brightest and most ambitious entrepreneurs. We face hunger and homelessness, and yet we meet it with the highest philanthropic rates in the world and bottomless kindness and compassion. We may be on the map today, but we can be on our feet and happy and healthy and strong again with good leadership tomorrow. Our people and our system were built for resilience. And here's the most important thing I wanna tell you about the state of our union. Our nation seems more divided than ever, but Americans everywhere wanna heal that divide. Our nation has become artificially divided by political forces that can survive only when We, the People, are at war with each other. People are tired of being by fear. We learned that lesson during COVID. We recognize that the same techniques of manipulating fear are being used by elites today to corral us into voting for one political candidate or the other. Americans are tired of these dire warnings that to preserve democracy itself, you better vote for our guy. I can tell you that in every state of this union, people are rejecting fear mongering. 80% of Americans say they don't wanna be forced to choose this election between a lesser of 2 equals. They're tired of voting again to something or someone. I see it in the crowds of mixed republicans and democrats and independents who attend my rallies that a growing number of Americans are rejecting divisiveness. They're ready to unite, to rebuild this country, and to fulfill the promise of the America of my youth. They're ready to vote for something and for someone they like, for someone who represents hope and healing, or someone with a inspiring vision for America's future, for a future that they can believe in. So that's the state of the union that I wanna bring you today. It's a nation that hungers to heal. It's a nation ready to face reality, to rebuild, to end the forever foreign wars, to clean out the corrupt Washington establishment, and to turn again toward peace, freedom, good health, and prosperity. When we unite in that vision, we're gonna be unstoppable. Thank you, and god bless you.

Bitcoin Magazine asked me about Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and I shared my primary concern: that the Fed’s proposed digital cash could be used as an instrument of control — similar to China’s oppressive social credit system — rather than as a tool of empowerment. https://t.co/qXzrpjmdy7

Video Transcript AI Summary
I am against central bank digital currencies as they can be used for control and power. In China, a low social credit score can restrict your spending ability. The government could limit where your credit cards work, only allowing purchases at nearby grocery stores. This control over spending could prevent travel and purchasing goods outside your local area, causing significant issues for individuals.

Speaker 0: Do you believe that the US government should directly issue a digital currency to citizens? I'm against central bank digital currencies. I think they will become an instrument of power and control, and ultimately, they'll be used as an excuse to abolish cash currencies. What they're doing in China, if you don't meet a certain social credit score, you show up on a mask day when you're not wearing your mask properly or whatever your expense is or whatever. Yeah. Or not boosted, the government can turn off your capacity to spend money, or they can program it so that your credit cards will only work, for example, at grocery stores within a half a mile radius of your home. Right. But they won't buy you gasoline. They won't allow you to get an airplane ticket. They don't wanna allow you to to travel and buy items and foods in other parts of the country or abroad.

During the 35 years that I’ve known Joe Biden, he’s always demonstrated his core decency. He has shown his affection and esteem for my family by displaying a bust of my father in the Oval Office. I suspect that the White House decision to deny me Secret Service protection — and many other more important decisions — are being made, not by the President himself, but by the anonymous men in lanyards who now seem to be running our government.

Here’s the truth about the war in Ukraine https://t.co/pBf4XkTO21

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker discusses the war in Ukraine and claims that Russia tried to settle it on favorable terms. They argue that the US spends a significant amount of money on military contracts and expanding NATO. The speaker criticizes the allocation of funds, stating that the money could have been used to address homelessness. They also mention that the war will require further expenses for rebuilding. The speaker suggests that politicians and defense manufacturers benefit from this situation, referring to it as a money laundering scheme. They question the loan given to Ukraine and its repayment prospects. The speaker highlights the loan conditions imposed, including austerity measures and the sale of government-owned assets to multinational corporations. They express concern over the ownership of these corporations, specifically mentioning BlackRock.

Speaker 0: It's a war that should have never happened. It's a war that Russians tried repeatedly to settle on terms that were very, very beneficial to Ukraine and us. The major thing they wanted was for us to keep NATO out of the Ukraine. The big military contractors and want to add new countries to NATO all the time. Why? Because then that country has to conform its military purchases and NATO weapon specifications, which means certain companies, North Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing, and Lockheed and get a trapped market. March of 2022, we committed a $113,000,000,000. Just to give you an example, we could have built a home for almost every homeless person in this country. We then committed another 24,000,000,000 since that 2 months ago, and now president Biden's asking for another 60,000,000,000. But the big, big expenses are gonna come after the war when we have to rebuild all the things that we destroy. Mitch McConnell was asked, and we really afford to set to spend a 113,000,000,000 to Ukraine. He said, don't worry. It's not really going to Ukraine. It's going to American defense manufacturers. So he just admitted it's a money laundering scheme. And who do you think owns every one of those companies? And BlackRock. So Tim Scott, during the Republican debate, said, don't worry. It's not a gift to Ukraine. It's a loan. Raise your hand if you think that that loan is ever getting paid back. Yeah. Of course, it's not. So why do they call it a loan? And if they call it a loan, they can impose loan conditions. And what are the loan conditions that we impose on? Number 1, extreme austerity program. So if you're poor in Ukraine, you're gonna be poor forever. Number 2, most important, Ukraine has and put all of its government owned assets up for sale to multinational corporations, including all of its agricultural land, the biggest single asset in Europe. In Ukraine, there's been a 1000 years of war fought over that land. It's the richest farmland in the world. It's the breadbasket of Europe. 500,000 kids almost. Ukrainian kids have died to keep that land as part of Ukraine. They almost certainly didn't know about this long condition. They've already sold 30% of it. The buyers were DuPont, Cargill, and Monsanto. Who do you think owns all of those companies? BlackRock. Yeah. BlackRock. And then in December, president Biden and gave out the contract to rebuild Ukraine. And who do you think got that contract? And Iraq. So they're doing this right in front of us. They don't even care that we know anymore because they know and that they can get away with it. And how do they know that? Because they have a strategy. And that strategy is old, old strategy, which is they keep us at war with each other. They keep us hating on each other. They keep the republicans and democrats fighting each other and black against white and all these divisions that they saw.

The Colorado Supreme Court's decision to remove President Trump from the ballot is troubling as it deprives him of a right without a conviction or evidentiary hearing. This denies the American people their right to choose. The decision contributes to the perception of elites manipulating the legal system and could lead to an ungovernable country. It's important to trust the voters and let them decide the best candidate. #Kennedy24

@RobertKennedyJr - Robert F. Kennedy Jr

Every American should be troubled by the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to remove President Trump from the ballot.

@RobertKennedyJr - Robert F. Kennedy Jr

The court has deprived him of a consequential right without having been convicted of a crime. This was done without an evidentiary hearing in which he is given the basic right of confronting his accusers.

@RobertKennedyJr - Robert F. Kennedy Jr

When any candidate is deprived of his right to run, the American people are deprived of their right to choose.

@RobertKennedyJr - Robert F. Kennedy Jr

I hope the Colorado Supreme Court swiftly reverses this decision. At the very least, it contributes to the perception that the elites are picking the President by manipulating the legal system, and through other interventions.

@RobertKennedyJr - Robert F. Kennedy Jr

If Trump is kept out of office through judicial fiat rather than being defeated in a fair election, his supporters will never accept the result. This country will become ungovernable.

While statements of support are appreciated, practical action is crucial.

This ignominious, unprovoked, and barbaric attack on Israel must be met with world condemnation and unequivocal support for the Jewish state’s right to self-defense. We must provide Israel with whatever it needs to defend itself — now. As President, I’ll make sure that our policy is unambiguous so that the enemies of Israel will think long and hard before attempting aggression of any kind. I applaud the strong statements of support from the Biden White House for Israel in her hour of need. However, the scale of these attacks means it is likely that Israel will need to wage a sustained military campaign to protect its citizens. Statements of support are fine, but we must follow through with unwavering, resolute, and practical action. America must stand by our ally throughout this operation and beyond as it exercises its sovereign right to self-defense. https://kennedy24.com/kennedy_condemns_terrorist_attacks_against_israel

This effort is about raising the funds we need to open field offices in every state so that we can spread our message with voters all across the country and build our community.

In a democracy, every citizen's vote is crucial as it determines their livelihood, education, healthcare, and more. However, the Democratic Party elites, under President Biden's direction, are attempting to undermine this power. They aim to punish states where Biden lost in the 2020 election, like Iowa and New Hampshire, by changing their primary slots. These actions violate state laws and disenfranchise millions of voters. Additionally, the DNC plans to manipulate the convention with party operators to overturn the popular vote. This undemocratic behavior threatens the very essence of democracy. We must demand a fair primary process where every vote counts equally and the candidate with the most votes wins. Let's protect democracy in the Democratic Party.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: In a real democracy, every citizen has the same prized possession, their vote. That vote gives you a say in whether you can earn a good living, whether your kids have access to decent schools, whether they'll be sent to war and whether they'll get health care. When democracy crumbles, citizens become more like serfs. They labor under laws that are made by oligarchs and elites. They work 2 jobs for barely livable pay, they get taxed to fund Wall Street and wars and bank bailouts. Your vote is your power. And right now the Democratic Party elites are trying to take it away from you. At the order of President Biden, living. The DNC is punishing states where President Biden lost in 2020. He came in 4th, for example, in Iowa and finished laws in New Hampshire. So the EMC is trying to move those states out of their historic first slots and start instead with South in Carolina where President Biden finally won his 1st victory. What are you going to do about RFK Jr? I'm very, very proud of the President and we're going to get it done for him and Kamala Harris in this primary and again in the general election. Those changes violate state laws. So the legislatures not comply with the plan. But do you know who the real losers are? You are. You're gonna lose your right to vote in a free and fair election. Based upon the DNC's plan, if you live in the state of New Hampshire or Iowa, your vote just won't count. And Georgia too, by the way, in that state, they want to kick anyone off the ballot if they campaigned in New Hampshire. Living. These crooked measures will disenfranchise millions of citizens. These people will be robbed of their votes just because the elite say so. And it's not only voters in a handful of states that the DNC is trying to silence. It's every voter in every state. So how do they plan to do that? Oh, there's another rule that the committee is drafting behind closed doors, and it's similar to a trip that they used to kick Bernie vendors out in 2016. They're flooding the convention with party operators with opaque names like leg delegates whose job is to drown out the popular vote. Once the Pleos and automatic delegates arrive at the Chicago convention next summer, the vote tallies all change and the people's choice can be overturned in an instant. I can win 2 thirds of the popular vote and still be denied the nomination. That's not democracy. That's theater. When I was growing up, this country was the democratic light of the world. We would have the exemplar. We would have the template for all the other nations on earth. This is what democracy look like. We did it better than anybody. Based upon our example, dozens upon dozens of new democracies root in every corner of the earth. But when we deny citizens, they're right to vote and only rig the process in favor of insiders, then the claims of the democracy flickers and some days doesn't, it will go out. The good news is these rules don't take effect until the DNC votes on them on September 14th. So let's use our power while we still have it. It's time to demand a fair primary process where every vote counts equally. And the candidate who gets the most votes wins the nomination. That's the democracy we learned about in school. Ask the democracy that people around the world yearn for. Ask the democracy that we now have to fight to protect.
