RFK Jr. Joins Forces To Fight For America’s Physical, Mental, Spiritual Wellness

all of us feel the swelling moment of polarity and the divisiveness of the world right now but we know in our hearts our connection to Nature we know that we love each other and that to me is stronger to love and to Justice a weak mind cannot exist in a strong body between fellow human beings when I look at America we refuse to give up when we look at the plight of what's taking place of America in a setback we don't sit in a setback and settle in a setback back we bounce back and have a comeback and that's why we're here today these ideas that I've been working with and thinking about my whole life as a philosopher they're not just ideas anymore they can actually happen there are millions and millions of children and adults in this country in misery I think the most shameful statistic in America is that 50% of teens are obese or overweight we are poisoning our children there's 5 billion prescriptions written in America per year we are being brought to our needes by chronic conditions we need a president who understands and has the moral Clarity to call that out and take on so all of these institutions of our democracy have been systematically corrupted by this industry and that's what the swamp is we're going to heal this nation not only the vreal and the ranker and the polarization but also deal our mental health and heal our souls and rebuild this sense of American Community let's try to end the chronic disease and get our country back together again and if if I get elected I'm going to do that the question was how do we step into a new era of human thriving in America what is at the heart of Wellness both physically mentally emotionally and spiritually so with RFK Jr the next president of the United States we brought together an unbelievable team of Visionaries thought leaders and speakers to illuminate both the problems and the solutions that we're facing right now as a country and as a world you're going to want to stick around and hear all of these unbelievable talks from one of the most powerful days I have ever experienced in my entire life and this exclusive behind the scenes look you're going to hear from Tim story Charles eisenstein Dell bigtree Dr Daniel stickler and Dr Gabriel lion Callie means Chase iron eyes you're going to hear from Kyle kingsbery and listen to the sounds of pangi and many other unbelievable guests who have gathered here for American [Music] Wellness hey everybody well thank you so much for coming out to our spiritual home here we've uh done our best to cultivate a lot of beautiful energy here both in the land and what the land can provide for us and the connection between between both and that's why we're here the connection between our personal health and planetary health and the man who we all believe you know that's why we're here we all believe who's going to drive a different type of Wellness for all people not only the people of the United States but as we once were to become leaders of thought morality Justice and Truth for the rest of the world so we are at a time of epic proportions and all of these efforts that you make they all matter and they matter now as much as they've ever mattered ever in the history of time I really believe that so thank you for showing up thank you for being here thank you for Lending your heart and support and really allow yourself to release into the experience today you know there's the magic both in the moments and the experiences but it requires the participation of stepping in so if you feel a little bug and you feel like dancing when my brother pangi and Ashley are up here on the decks just let it rip this is a part of connecting back to who we really are remembering who we really are people who dance people who sing people who smile people who stand for what is right and true and beautiful thank you all for joining us my name is bangi this is my partner Ashley Klein it's an honor to be here first time here at the ranch in this very special occasion so just so you know so what we do is a little different uh I don't know what we're going to do that's part of why it's different right and that's that's actually very intentional and I think it's really appropo given the circumstances here with with uh with Bobby you know it's like we're all facing this uncertainty we don't know what's going to happen that's life itself that's the one thing that's certain we don't know what's going to happen and so we like to lead that way because then we just show up and we get out of the way [Music] inviting each one of us to listen deeply to our own [Music] bodies giving ourselves and each other permission to move any way that we feel called to move [Music] all right everybody well we are here for a reason and we're here for a cause we're here because we believe something we feel something in our heart and we know that there's something that more that's possible than what we've seen because we felt it and we know it's real there's no question about whether we know it's real and that's how I feel about Bobby Kennedy I feel feel like there's no question there's not a moment's waver there's not a moment's doubt because my heart recognizes heart and it recognizes the connection through the field of source and love and it pours out of him in every word that he speaks every action he takes no matter whether his ideas change his heart never changes and that's the beauty of this man and so I'd like to welcome him up on stage today he'll be around with us all day so here is the man himself Bobby thank you thank you Aubrey and thank all of you for coming out here today and byina um and this is just an this an amazing event it feels like the first day that I've been able to relax for a long [Applause] time I pray for you know about 9 months ago when I was first getting ready to announce and people already knew that I was going to run I did the podcast with Aubrey and when we were when we were ending that after we were ended I met Aaron for the first time at Aubrey's house and afterward Aubrey said I had a vision that you're going to win this and you know I was um I was I I made the decision to run without really regards to whether I could win I had to convince my wife I could win and we had blls but you know my for me it was just it was a choice that I felt like I had to make and uh it seemed so implausible at that time and and yet now it seems plausible oh I [Applause] I'm really happy to be here with Aubrey with all of you and to celebrate our commitment to spiritual he healing in this country to healing of the Mental Health crisis we're we're watching a whole generation of kids be sacrifice 6,000 kids died last year from overdoses um we have a mental health crisis in this country in every region in the rural regions in the uh in the urban areas we have alcoholism and drug addiction that are hitting new spikes new records and then we have the sickest people in the history of the world who live in the United States of America today when my uncle was President 6% of Americans had chronic disease today 60% of our children have chronic disease and something's happen and nobody's talking about about it and we need to start getting people to recognize I saw Cy means outside just now and he's going to do one of the one of the and Cy will you wave your hand so he's going to do one of the panels with me later on but you know one of the points that cie has made is that with diabetes when when we were young a typical pediatrician would see one case of diabetes during his entire career and today one out of every three kids who walks through his office store is either pre-diabetic or diabetic and how is nobody talking about this this is the biggest crisis that we have it's bigger than the economy it's bigger than War it's costing us $4.3 trillion do a year the chronic disease epidemic the uh the our military budget is only 1.3 trillion and you know so this is just destroying our country and it's destroying the souls of our children and the autism rates have gone from one in 10,000 in my generation 70y old men one in 10,000 today has autism why do one in every 34 of my kids generation of autism one at every 22 boys and nobody's talking about this and you know when my uncle became president he was already worried about the decline in health in Americans and you know and and Teddy Roosevelt was you know back in 1903 he was weing that's one of the reasons he invited the Boy Scouts in this country because both he and my uncle believe that you know America's greatness not only our democracy had come out of the Wilderness but our toughness that made us and exemplary nation that we had this kind of beef jerky toughness from the exposure the you know to the Wilderness and to Nature and to building our country out of the forests and the and the and the plains that we were losing that and already the the demographic data showed American Health compared to Europeans declining dramatically we were when I was little healthiest people in the world we had the longest um lifespans we were robust um there was you look at these old pictures there is no fat people in the pictures and you're like where are all the fat people um and you look at a picture today of you know people just walking through Disneyland or walking in Fifth Avenue and it's uh it's just it's sad because these you know they if you because people need to be healthy to have fulfilling lives to be physical health as Aubrey has preached is tied to mental health it's tied to spiritual health it's tied to our whole sense of well-being our connection to each other our connection to communities when my uncle was President he made a challenge which was that he actually read a he read a a correspondence between that Teddy Roosevelt had written to the Commandment of the of the of the Marine Corps and said what are the physical requirements for a marine and the commander had written back and said uh that a marine has to be able to walk 50 miles with a I think it was a 30 lb pack in a single day so my uncle wrote the current commandment Commander the Marine cor he said Can today's Marines do that and then he challenged the country to do 50 mile walks he started he launched the president's Council on physical fitness If You Were My Generation you grew up with that you know in every high school there was a there was a physical contest every year for who could do the most pull-ups who could do the most push-ups and there was awards given from the president where you know you would be recognize and you see the old pictures of it you can watch on Instagram of these kids doing typically I think they a typical high school uh senior could do 14 or 15 pull-ups today there is no chance that that could happen so he gave that challenge my father he then walked into a cabinet meeting and he said I'm doing this challenge to the American public but some of you need to do this to show that we're committed to it and my father was the guy who was selected and he set out on the he went to the justice department that evening it was Friday night and it was 6:00 at night and there were still people working here and and they a lot of the people that my father had working for him the justice department are people who served with him during World War II where they had served with my uncle a lot of them were Marines who had fought in the Pacific and E gu Canal they were tough guys and he he went and he said and he chose Ed gothman he chose John seaner he chose Dave hacket all of them had served during the war they were all really you know highly awarded um V combat veterans and he said you going to you I need you guys to come with me on this 50 mile walk the next morning they got up at 4:00 and my father was wearing sneakers was the middle of winter and they we're going to walk down the CN o Canal top path which was where the mules used to walk to tow the barges and on the sea in O Canal from Washington DC to Camp David and I was a little kid probably 10 years old waiting at Camp David for him to come and all of the people who were with him dropped out because it was really difficult my father you know when when his best friend Dave hacket dropped out he said to him you're lucky your bre brother is not president of the United States he he could not drop out because the Press was following him and there were helicopters and stuff so he had no choice to walk the last 20 miles alone and I remember him when he came in and there were blisters on his feet they were bleeding and he just lay down and uh and you know my mom was trying to comfort him but he was it was miserable so I did that when I gradu ated College I was with uh I was played rugby at college and I got a bunch of members of my rugby team that right after gra the day after graduation we all walked from Boston to Cape God and again I was the only one who made it because you know [Applause] people these were people who were in really really good shape but the the uh the muscles that you need for walking are very very different than the muscles you need for sprinting or playing rugby and they just had really very very bad physical ailments their their knees swelled up and their um and other parts of them just gave out from a 50m walk so again I walked the last 20 miles Al but then I was in tears I was uh it took me almost 18 hours to do it but you know when I get in the White House [Applause] I'm going to challenge Americans again to get themselves healthy and uh we need a lot of leadership and we need a and we're going to get rid of all of the chronic disease I'm going to get identify the exposures very very quickly and I'm going to start eliminating them and I know how to do that and I'm going to talk about that later on tonight [Applause] we're going to we're we're going to heal this nation not only the vital and the ranker and the polarization but also just heal our health heal our mental health and heal our souls and and rebuild this sense of American community so there's a challenge that I saw that my kids showed me on the internet and I don't know whether I'm going to do it today or not but it it's uh cuz I I really don't want to make a spectacle of myself with I work out but I work out alone every day I don't have a trainer I don't have every anything and to do to work out with a lot of people watching me would be honestly my worst excruciating nightmare but but the challenges which I I those of you who you know who feel like you um you're up to it with the challenge that I would make to people right now is this challenge that is a great Challenge on the internet to try to do um a 100 pull-ups and no 50 pull-ups and 100 uh push-ups and the challenge is to try to do it under five minutes so I did it the first time and I I and and I did it about five minutes and 30 seconds because I can do a lot of pull-ups uh you can the pull-ups you can do by alternating your grip so the first time you do pull-ups the second time you do chinups and then you can do that you have to C complete all the pull-ups before you start the push-ups so you know with girls it's 10 minutes uh yeah you're welcome anyway I encourage all of you to do that or some other challenge but you know let's let's try to get our country healed let's try to end the chronic disease and get our country back together again and I if I get elected I'm going to do that I don't have any and once again I want to I want to thank Aubrey for his support for his lifetime commitment to Healing our country healing our world rebuilding communities that are dignified that are enriching and that are spiritually sustaining oh and thank you all for being part of this Army and his army very grateful to be [Applause] here well unlike Bobby Kennedy I love when people watch me work out so I'm going to be going and doing that challenge so I'll be out there to see you guys and just the tenacity that this man has the work ethic that he has it's inspiring to me because I think I work hard and then I think I'm so exhausted I'm tired and I think oh [ __ ] Bobby Kennedy's working a lot harder than me so maybe I just need to suck it up as well and so he's an inspiration to me every single day it is rare that I meet him and talk to him and I don't actually feel emotions pouring through and this is why we're here you know it's because we [ __ ] care and I I really think that that there's there's nothing more punk rock right now in the world than to [ __ ] care like that's punk rock to really [ __ ] care and really give a [ __ ] so let's rock out today everybody love you guys 50 pull-ups and move to 100 push-ups trying to all complete within 5 minutes man it's Beast let's go [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] go so Gabrielle I watched your Ted talk as I Was preparing for this and I thought you had such an important message that is often overlooked and it's just about strength and there's a lot of strength of spirit a lot of strength of mind but you were actually talking about strength of body strength of body and if those of you were out there watching Bobby Bobby whipped all all of our ass all of us strong men Bobby took us to the mat in his five minute Challenge and uh and so strength obviously is something that matters but you actually understand exactly why it matters so much and I'd love to hear you just speak a little Pearl for everybody obviously we have 45 minutes up here so everybody's just going to have to hone it down to a pearl but just share that pearl of wisdom that uh or whatever pearl of wisdom is coming to you I don't want to put you in a put you in a corner well thank you for having me yeah a weak mind cannot exist in a strong body and we have to understand that we talk a lot about obesity and these diseases of chronic illness but at the end of the day it truly is about the physical strength because the physical strength through skeletal muscle beets wellness and general how many in here believe that we have an obesity epidemic actually what if I told you that we have a midlife muscle crisis and that obesity cardiovascular disease Alzheimer's these diseases are diseases of skeletal muscle first that begin decades earlier and you're thinking well why do I care about this because we want a strong and capable country we cannot sustain the lives that we are living and it is the one organ system that we can do something about skeletal muscle and it takes time and effort to become disciplined to create and evolve its health and with that everything else falls into place metabolism glucose regulation all of the other pillars that's such a strong message one of my favorite quotes is from uh my brother danieli belli and he says when you have a wild wolf living inside you which means that you're able to hunt and roam the land like Bobby was talking about to be able to walk 50 miles to be able to actually move your body and hunt and and live like the primate that we are when you have a wild wolf living inside you when the mind is in doubt the body provides tangible proof and so when you know yourself is physically capable it extends not only through everything that you mentioned but also through that mental health and we need strength of all sorts and I think framing this all of these epidemics and saying like all right let's focus on strength you know because there's a big message going out and C this may segment into something you're talking about where everybody's saying obesity you know is all genetic nothing you can do about it well no one's saying there's nothing you can do about muscle they don't even dare because that they know that doesn't make sense you just go to any gym and realize oh that dude's deadlifting or that that woman woman squatting and she's strong you know so that's an important message so I'd love to just and maybe we'll be able to Circle back and and hear more you know of the details of that but I'd love to go to you Cali and and talk about obesity and and then the opposite way that it's being positioned in some of the kind of Insidious ways that messaging is trying to take power from people and take agency from our ability to make ourselves well this is why we're living in the most important year I think of our lifetimes and why this election is so important we need to take what was just said and we need to operationalize that into policy right now we are being brought to our needs by chronic conditions obesity is one branch of the tree of underlying metabolic dysfunction that's causing nine of the 10 leading cause of death in America it's causing 90% of healthc care costs and chronic disease is the greatest invention uh a profit ever created because what you can do when you know and we have a shameful statistic I think the shameful statistic in America is that 50% of teens are obese or overweight we are poisoning our children that happens to be as just a raw statement of economic fact an extremely profitable dynamic because by not sharing that message Gabrielle explained to kids in saying that obesity is a drug deficiency saying what Harvard researchers are now saying it's genetic literally the American Academy of Pediatrics saying that every 12-year-old who's overweight or obese should be on OIC a lifetime injection and not on a path of curiosity an injection that's going to cost $15,000 of taxpayer money per year per person 50% of teens and 80% of American adults this drug is being pushed on which is making it one of the most uh valuable companies in the world the most valuable company in Europe that a child that hears that obesity is an OIC deficiency hears that obesity is genetic not under the control as a Harvard researcher uh who's going to profit a lot from this and it's paid by the drug maker said that throw willpower throw food throw exercise out the window we need to put these kids on drugs that's what's being said and that's profitable because if that child doesn't learn metabolically healthy habit if they don't learn how to build muscle if they don't learn how to eat healthy if they don't you know engender awe for the soil and what they're eating and what they're putting in their bodies that kid is going to continue to rack up comorbidities there's there's five billion prescriptions written in America per year and that's driving the largest industry in the country and the fastest growing industry in the country was just Healthcare where every single lever of that industry depends on people being sick and sicker for longer periods of time and getting sick earlier and we need a president who understands and has the more clarity to call that out and take on the biggest and most powerful [Applause] industry it's the existential it's the existential issue of our time um all other issues we're being distracted with are are [ __ ] um and I'll just quickly give a story of where I really think this ties together but you know early in my career when I worked for the food and farm industry I was shocked in a lobbyist office in Washington DC to see a list of Harvard Stanford and tough nutrition School researchers and as a junior employee I helped filter money to these researchers at prominent institutions and I was like why are we doing this well those researchers were being put on the USDA panel and nutrition guidelines it's very simple the industry funds money to they just pay them not only research grants but direct bribes and in 2020 for example the USD nutrition guideline committee 95% of the people on the committee 19 out of 20 were paid for by food companies direct bribes and the USDA guidelines that we exist under today say that a 2-year-old that 10% of their diet should be added sugar that flows into school lunch guidelines that flows into normalization for parents when you see the child's birthday parties and children being hopped up in sugar and the Obesity raate among kids that parents are following government guidance and the um American Academy Pediatrics was not speaking out when that happened they have never spoken out about the nutrition guidelines in fact they take money from food companies but today the American Academy of Pediatrics put out a press release and said that any obese or overweight 12-year-old as I said needs to have OIP Bic as the first course not after diet interventions fail but but as the first order aggressive early intervention we need a president uh who understands these Dynamics I just want to make one more point that these things can change very very quickly we need a president who has the courage to declare a public health emergency can take on Pharma we need a a president who is going to tell the NIH no more conflicted research 80% of NIH funding goes to professors with a conflict of interest we need to have a president who's going to tell the ni we're going to study impacts and what 72 shots mandating for our kids does um and we need a president who has the moral Clarity to tell the American Medical Association that heart disease is not a Statin deficiency diabetes is not a metform and deficiency depression is not an SSRI deficiency these are metabolic issues because of our poison food supply and they can be corrected very quickly [Applause] thank you Cali wow right on Q that President just showed up and sits down on the [Applause] [Music] couch yeah yeah yeah yeah you know one thing that uh that we were talking about on the podcast as we were you know there's a lot of people who are like Trump drain the swamp and the one thing I said to Cali is he can't even see the swamp like he can't even see it even if he wanted to drain it even if you believe that he wanted to drain it he can't see it we need someone that has the vision and is willing to listen and learn and look at the data and look at the studies to actually see what the swamp is and this is it this is where the heart of darkness is this is what sapping the life force and energy and love and juice and our spiritual power it's all connected that's what's sapping out of our life and this man I know can see that swamp and he is going to get in there I remember I was sitting with him in a ski lodge and he said something he was like if they let me in I'm going to [ __ ] them so [Laughter] bad he's like they better not they better not and it just sent chills in my body like oh he's deadly serious he is deadly serious so I'd love for you I'd love for you to uh to just comment and you've shared it before but like what is that what is that day one week one month one action that you're going to take when you step into office Bobby let me just um say something that was going through my head so I don't forget it when when KY was talking about the corruption the food supply I I had a a I hired a an assistant who worked for me when I first started working for River Keeper and she ended up uh her name was Connie huff and she ended up marrying um my client uh John Cronin who was the Hudson River Keeper who was a former commercial fisherman but she got my job because she had worked for craft which is a food company and which was in white headquartered in White Plains New York and craft had been purchased by Philip Morris was a tobacco company and she said the day that Philip Morris took over they put ashtrays on every desk at at you know this food company but one of the things and and Callie and I have talked about this and Mark Heyman talks about it who's a very very close mutual friend to both of ours and who's really um been helping me on this campaign um that they the food industry really merged with the processed food with the tobacco industry and they brought in hundreds of tobacco scientists who taught them how to make processed foods addictive so to make to put things in that that would make it you know make them addictive so people literally get addicted to you know donuts and packages and salted food and all the sugar and all of these other ingredients and they Mass poison the American public and you know I talked this morning about the Obesity crisis gone from 133% when my uncle was present and kids to around 50% today even obese or overweight and it's not because American kids just got lazy they're being Mass poisoned they're being poisoned by high fructose corn syrup and a thousand other ingredients that are all illegal in Europe and yet that's what they're eating they're eating these just chemical contaminants and the federal government is colluding with them uh Cali points out that 10% of food stamps from the snap program go to Sugar drinks to Coca-Cola and how Coca-Cola weaponized not only the AMA and the AAP but also the NAA CP to make them you know to so that when when there was Moves In Congress to ban the use of food stamps to buy gallon jugs of coke on that the Coca-Cola gave millions of dollars to the NAACP and the NAACP then condemned that as racist NAACP is a registered lobbyist of the Coca-Cola Company oh and this is how they've taken you know they've rted he talked about the the um the corruption of the universities un University science is now paid for by Pharma and uh but it's also corrupted all of these other institutions in our country that it's corrupted the Press you know in evening Roger El who I who was who was the founder of Fox News when I was when I was 19 years old I spent three months in a tent with Roger ell in in Africa it's a weird story I'm not going to go into it but anyway I I had this very strange friendship with him from then on this before he had just stepped down from running the Nixon campaign and he uh uh and I ended up doing this project with him over the summer in Kenya and Tanzania and then I for the rest of our lives he was we were friends we had to you know he was like Darth Vader to me but um we had this kind of he was very very loyal friend to me and at a time when no other environmentalists was allowed on Fox News I was on Fox News all the time I was in on Hannity a dozen times I was on Bill O'Reilly because he made them do it was an Neil Cavuto and what one time I went in he had a son who was vaccine injured and he I showed him a a TV show a doc mentary that we did in 2014 uh called tra mounts it was about Mercury and vaccines and I asked him if he would let me go on some of these shows to talk about it and he said I can't do it he said I believe everything he saw the film he said I believe everything in there but if any of my hosts allowed you on TV to talk about it I would have to fire them and if if I didn't fire them I would hear in 10 minutes from rer I would get a telephone call call from rert within 10 minutes he met rert Murdoch who is the owner of of Fox News and one of the points that C made is that which we know they're not that interested they're they're putting these compan and he said Roger said to me 70% of my evening news division revenues are coming from pharmaceutical companies and um you know and I I think it's about 30% of total Network revenues come from fora but if you look at it he said he said typically On An Evening News show there's 22 advertisements and 17 of those are pharmaceutical companies so you can see them back to back on these on the evening news shows and they target evening news for two reasons old people watch the news and that's their clientele people who are sick getting sick and sicker and sicker but more importantly it not only gives them a platform for selling drugs it gives them control over content of the news oh because you know Anderson Cooper has I think a $22 million annual salary well probably 70% of that is coming from pharmaceutical companies so those are you know his boss is not is is not CNN his boss is fizer his boss is Merc his for boss is no Aris and all these other companies and that's who he's working for and so all of these institutions of our democracy have been systematically corrupted by this industry and that's what the swamp is and you know I um I think Aubrey is right when he said that President I think president Trump honestly earnestly wanted to drain this swamp but I don't think that he knew how and I don't think I think it takes somebody who is willing to go into a sort of a granular level and to to push back on his bureaucrats president Trump you know said he said he knew what was right in many cases he said that lockdowns were wrong that he wasn't going to do them two weeks later we were doing them because he was not able to stand up against bureaucracy he brought in John Bolton to run the NSA this is like the template for swamp creatures he's like the he brought in run to run FDA and HHS respectively he brought in Scott gotle who's a business partner of fisers and Alex AAR who's a lobbyist for the pharmaceutical industry so he brought you know the swamp creatures in to run the swamp uh Scott godle in a hundred billion dollar favor for fizer and then left a or FDA to rejoin the fiser board and to collect his payout and of the last seven fizer directors six of them today are working for pharmaceutical companies so that's what the swamp is and if you go through all the presid Trump's appointments it was the same thing he brought them from within industry and they helped that you know put this agency capture on steroids and turn these agencies into sock puppets for the industries they're supposed to regulate and predatory against the American public and against public health they don't want Public Health their job is to advance and promote the mertile interests of these corporations that you know that they have the revolving to relationship with and uh you know 50% of fda's budget comes from Pharma of course they it's like I spent 30 years suing a EPA which is a captive agency it's captive by oil and coal but what would EPA look like if 50% of its budget came from PB Cole and Massie and console it and that its budget was dependent on the profit profiles of those country of those companies year after year its job is to promote their commercial interests not public health and you know we're now as I remarked this morning the sickest country in the history of the world they're the Sickest Kids in history and um so what you know I'll be very brief about get to this long answer is question short question a lot of people say even what I'm going to do when I get in there is I'm going to take that $42 billion budget from NIH and I'm going to say that's given to 56,000 scientists around the world to do research to research disease and drugs Etc and I'm going to sa them and it used to be that NIH when I was a kid was the premier scientific agency in the world it it was the gold standard of of good science since then it's become the biggest incubator for pharmaceutical products we changed the law in 1980 we we adopted the the do the B by do act which said that NIH scientists and NIH itself can collect royalties on every drug that they develop or they help develop so that helped transition them from a real scientific research agency to an incubator for pharmaceutical products about I think in 2016 there were 220 new drugs approved by FDA and every one of them came out of NIH oh and the scientists who work on those drugs get to keep uh royalties have marching rights for the patent they get to keep royalties $150,000 a year per drug and they and the agency itself gets to keep up to half the profits from that drug so the modna vaccine is actually owned by NIH and NIH cats 50% of the tens of billions of dollars that have been made by that there is six scientists who work for NIH who have marching rights and they get $150,000 a year forever as long as mRNA products are on the market their children their children's children their children's children children will be benefiting from that so these are people the scientists who are paying for their mortgages their kids educ ation their alimonies everything else by from these drugs so I'm going to go down there and I'm going to say okay we're going to give drug development a break for a couple of for eight years and we're going to give we're going to give infectious disease we're going to give in infectious disease break and we're going to stop doing gain of function studies which manufactur more of this [Applause] crap and instead we're going to figure out what's making our kids the Sickest Kids in the world and um and you can say to me well even if you figure out that uh that high fructose corn syrup or glyphosate is causing the Obesity epidemic there's nothing you can do because these industries are so powerful they've infiltrated Congress they've infiltrated the agencies they own everything and they have a million farmers who have are trapped now in that Paradigm so how can you ever dismantle that I'll tell you how you put enough science out there that the lawyers can step in and Sue these companies that and that's the that's the short answer thank you let's go let's go so we have a lot to get to today and I want to get to our other panelists here and I think I'm going to go to You Luke first and you're someone who has swamp ray vision you've been looking at this thing for a long time and talking about it on your podcast so you know what else do you see that may that we may not see something that you have your eyes on that you'd like to bring attention to and then of course we'll we'll finish with you Dr stickler after Luke well I'm of course uh really passionate about the food that we eat and uh the water that we drink but I think for me the elephant in the room and for for many of us uh are two things first one geoengineering and Bobby's actually the first person at his level that I've ever heard publicly even address that issue so hats off to you for that um the second one would be electromagnetic radiation and the thing about Food and Drugs and all the issues that we're talking about is that if somebody's properly educated and has the means to do so they can eat organic food you can avoid maybe if you're careful glyphosate aspartame some of these things MSG I mean you can read labels right you can grow your own food but what you can't do is grow your own air and atmosphere and because EMF is invisible it's easy to ignore and um you know the regulation on that particular issue seems to be non-existent and um I have a personal beef with the EMF issue you know 5G Towers everywhere Etc because I lived in an apartment and I was already well aware of this issue uh and I lived there for three years and I got terribly sick and I'm like you know very committed to healthy lifestyle and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me and um after 3 years eventually as fate and uh Grace would have it I discovered this cell tower like right above my bedroom and then all of the symptoms I was experiencing were um indicative of radiation poisoning brain fog vision problems ttis like all the things right so I immediately moved out and went and you know moved up into the canyon and tested everything before I moved in but had I known that had there been some public awareness you know maybe if you move in an apartment or a home make sure you're not next to a 5G Tower and so on um so I think you know we have control to some degree over what we eat but we don't have control over this radiation in our environment and it's a massive massive issue and is linked to diabetes and obesity and all sorts of other things that we attribute to food and so to me having the ability to breathe clean air um and to live in an environment that is more in alignment with our ancestral way of living which is of course you know uh friendly to the radiation of the Sun the magnetism of the planet so I'm all about taking care of your inner environment but I think we could really use some emphasis on the outer environment that we have little or no control over and I want to say one last thing about Donald Trump because I just can't resist a couple days ago I saw an old tweet of his and he said um you know forget about 5G we need to move into six and 7g immediately you know I'm just like ah and again you know the the EMF issue is something Bobby's address too you know and so he's a man after my own heart in many ways but uh to answer your question Aubrey those would be the the big ones to me you know is is the things that we have no control over and um it's up to some sort of regulatory agencies and public awareness to change that and potentially litigators as Bobby is saying absolutely yeah thank you brother appreciate that so Dr stickler you're someone that uh you know we've had a relationship for quite some time and you're really on The Cutting Edge of really how to optimize human longevity Health and Living but I would be remiss as Aubrey Marcus if I didn't talk to you about a passion that both of us share which is how psychedelic medicine can actually be utilized to help uplevel personal health both on a physical mental emotional and spiritual level level well that one caught me by surprise [Laughter] really yeah um I mean psychedelic medicine we've been studying it for probably 20 years now and it's just now hitting the mainstream but it's it's got this stigma associated with it so we're not looking at it like a medicine we're looking at it as this uh drug that is out there that we really don't know enough about it to put it into practice but with all of the uh studies that are coming out now I mean take MDMA for example not necessarily A psychedelic but it still Falls in that class MDMA was used over 500,000 Times by marriage counselors prior to 1984 when it was banned those marriage counselors uh appealed the DEA they won and the DEA said well we're still going to ban it they did it a second time with a second judge same outcome same thing with the DEA so they took this off the market and all of these um counselors they said this was the absolute best thing that we ever did with our clients because one session with MDMA was better than 10 years of talk therapy and we know about this with um psilocybin we know about it with iasa we know about it with ibugan all of these have spectacular outcomes for people and we're having to go generally out of the country in order to get access to it and one of the biggest areas that I'm concerned about is the medicalization of these substances if they get medicalized you're going to lose all the aspects of it set and setting will go out the window I mean just look at the ketamine clinics now you go in most of them you're on a gurnie with an IV in your arm looks like a sterile environment that's not the way ketamine should be done the set in setting is 90% of the outcome of that experience and it's going to be the same way with the psilocybin uh same way with the MDMA if they follow too closely to a clinical approach to it uh it's just going to fail and so I'm hoping that we get more along the lines of legalization rather than medicalization of that that's the the concerns that a lot of us that um that use psychedelic medicine are concerned about and I believe that you are the person that can make that change because it needs a drastic change and you're the one that can do it so we gota we got to wrap this panel up but just Bobby if you want to respond to that uh that heartfelt request and keep in mind Dr stickler is a medical doctor and he's referring this so he's saying something that comes from experience of Both Worlds and and a real knowledge of what these substances are and how they can be used for genuine medicine uh um you know I've been in recovery for 40 years and uh so I'm a hard person to convince that you to that you can fix what's wrong inside of you using a pill or a power or potion or anything that's outside of you and um and that was kind in my attitude for most of my until 5 years ago and I had a I um my wife took her on life in 2014 I I cut her down from the rafters and she left me with six kids who were profoundly impacted by that experience and all of them were at risk one of them in particular did not process the her death and what the the the things that happened before that in ways that um that seemed to me that he was he was um you know that it was a healthy way and he ended up um doing a he was a he he was a great kid he was a boxer he was a lot of things he did were violent or extreme he became a very good boxer and a good hockey player and then he became a top rated um um Big Air skier and ended up in about 5 years ago going to Patagonia to do a whitewater kayaking trip and on that trip he did had an I iasa experience and when he came back from that trip in that in that experience he encountered his mom and she passed through him again and again and he felt all this forgiveness and compassion sorry my duck is call I apologize but he um he he experienced this compassion and empathy and understanding and forgiveness and when he came back from that trip he was completely transformed in many many ways very happy very open about talking about his mom um and uh very conscious of people around him he I I've said this before that he he started taking out the G garbage he started washing dishes he had this this extraordinary spiritual realignment and it happened from just this one experience and then I saw his brothers ended up doing it and they had similar transformative experiences so I became a strong believer that I had friends in the NFL friends in the Navy Seals who were um having extraordinary uh healing from psychedelic so I've become a a a convert and a big promoter of them I agree with Dr fish that what we need to avoid is we need to legalize them we need to keep them in the hands of small businesses and and therapists and not and and not under the control of the pharmaceutical industry of of the of the tobacco industry or the or the alcohol industry which are all have their eyes on them right now and look at them as a potential profit Center which I think will be a catastrophe oh well I would I've been able to have the blessing to have many of you in conversations on my podcast please I look forward to this moment where I can dive in deeper with both of you I'm sorry this time up here in this panel is so short I could obviously go on and on and on but thank you so much for coming up thank you than you Bobby for responding to everybody appreciate you all deeply in your work in the world it is felt and it [ __ ] matters it [Music] matters she's a big old scuffy girl oh lul hi going give you [Music] kisses the reasons that I respect Bobby Kennedy is he's someone that stands up and believes in things that I actually deeply care about but would never expect to arise in the political Arena and it's surprising and refreshing to experience trust and integrity in someone that's involved in politics because my perspective before meeting connecting with him and getting to observe him was to not trust anyone in the political sphere uh so to inject genuine honesty into that space I'm imense M respect respect [Music] [Music] there is one existential issue in the country which is our kids are getting sicker fatter and more depressed 33% of young adults have pre-diabetes 50% of high school seniors by sub measures have a mental health disorder this is the biggest issue the country and the RFK there's one candidate who said on day one he's going to declare a state of emergency for public health much more important than Co much more important than these fake issues we're talking about the biggest issue in the country the biggest public health issue is Childhood Health and there's a candidate who knows what to do who's going to take on the special interests who's going to execute policies to get children's healthier which is the most important issue we face well I'm going to start with you cuz you made strong eye contact right from the start Ryland Ryland R Ry to kiss the ground you know this is uh this for me you know I saw your beautiful film and thank you for making that film because you know if you're talking about building from the ground up like building from the ground up means building from the soil up like it really really does and and we've done our best here and I don't know where Kyle is but he'll be here because he's a steward of this Farm but we've done our best to make ground that I want to kiss like literally and so if you want to just share and again we got only got 45 minutes and we got six people up here so we'll have to just share a pearl but a but a pearl from what you've been standing for for the years in the service that you've been providing thank you well just start by saying it's a real honor to be here and uh and to speak to the message that Dell just spoke uh 11 years ago I saw in five minutes a conversation that awakened a new vision that it was actually possible for life to get better in seven generations and I at that time had been running restaurants health and wellness vegan Cafe Gratitude guy and in 5 minutes I saw vision for regeneration was the Awakening that happened and I could actually feel in that moment the feeling that it was to be a human being on the Earth where regeneration was the conversation and the context and the relationship we had with Mother Earth and it took 10 years of Blood Sweat and Tears starting in my living room and then in my garage with fine and makepiece co-founder of kiss the ground to awaken that message which came out in the film kiss the ground was released on Netflix uh over covid and has been seen by 10 million people and has led to the transition of 200 million acres of land [Music] [Applause] worldwide and so yeah I mean I think the thing that there is to say is that I I've been asking people ask me why I'm optimistic why are you optimistic because love and regeneration are perennial I don't know the timeline but I know at the heart of who I am love is here and that goes the same for all of you and that I know the patterning and the design of nature is regeneration and if I can stand in the her Herculean effort of all the distraction the drama the chaos the perceived other than that knowing that that is what is true that love and regeneration is what is happening and I can take actions from that information from that space that gives us the opportunity to see something new thank you my brother thank you beautiful beautiful message chase you know your people the First Nations people of our beautiful country they've suffered as much as any people and there's been a lot of people who've suffered and I'm not trying to make a suffering competition but they've suffered deeply and when you hear this message of regeneration you know do you still do you have hope do you have hope for your tribe and all the tribes that you've you know shared with me are getting together and talking do you believe and do you feel that real regeneration and healing is possible from the absolute Carnage and tragedy that has befallen our first Nations brothers and sisters wow thank you for that uh kich yaho UA my name is Chase iron eyes and I come from the loot of people the Sue Nation I grew up on the Standing Rock reservation and in our way a man who is you know my father is a very good brother and strong uh contemporary of Bobby and I know that a lot of people uh that are here are searching themselves for strength and Redemption and deliverance and salvation from a corporate abstraction ction a separation of the Mind from the spirit a colonial process a process that is instigated by the colony was instigated against European people before this great country was founded so all of us have been subjected to earlier I heard a man say that we are all indigenous we are all Native and we have this potential to connect with our divine nature so we have been through a lot brother but we have hope and we have courage that is unconquerable and we want to share that I believe in Bobby that's what brought me here and I believe in this country I believe we can save ourselves and I I believe we can do this by strengthening each other each and every one of us matter thank you [Applause] thank you [Applause] brother a lot of inspiring words um Zen you know I want to talk to you about there's the colonization of our people and there's the colonization of our bodies and our land through the poison that comes through needles and comes through sprays and comes through [ __ ] helicopters that are just dropping poison and have been and then leading to these epidemics and these chronic illnesses and I know that you've been someone who with that courage like Chase is standing up and saying no no more [ __ ] done yeah my work uh for the past 12 years working to ban glyphosate and raise awareness about GMOs and chemicals in the food [Applause] supply thank you you which brought me to meet Bobby Kennedy and have him be an adviser on our nonprofit moms Across America um but I'm here today as an individual and as a mother and as a citizen who knows that without Health we have nothing else right our relationships don't work our missions don't work sorry abortion laws all that don't if we cannot procreate you know nothing else matters so um I'm here to represent the mothers and the children as individuals that say enough is enough and Bobby Kennedy is the only presidential candidate who has sued corporations and the government 500 times to get these environmental toxins out of our [Applause] environment and he is the only one who has said that if in the first term he does not dramatically reduce childhood chronic illnesses he does not want to be reelected right he's holding himself accountable for health he is the only one that's doing that and I want to invite all of you to consider that his commitment is what needs to guide us in our daily actions and I'm going to give you an example from my own personal life because it starts at home right so my son Ben was 8 years old and he was sitting at the breakfast table and uh when he was five he almost died from peacon in the stuffing you know this allergy increased 400% since GMOs and glyphosate were put in the food supply and putting holes in our kids small intestines right so he had 20 of those different allergies and he was looking at me one day with a red line around his mouth it looked like he had been sucked on by a vacuum cleaner this had been going on for 7 months two weeks at a time lips swollen and cracked and bleeding and going to school like that and he looked at me for laurenly and he said Mom I wish all my allergies would go away and I said me too buddy but in my head I was thinking that's never going to happen because the doctors had told me it would only get worse with every nut allergy you know exposure he could it could be fatal and then I stopped and listened to that voice was saying in my head I was like wait a second that's not empowering that's not what I'm committed to I'm committed to being courageous and creative and a contribution in the world what if there was something that was possible around my son and his allergies so I remembered my cousin Sarah who had gone gluten-free for a year and was then able to eat gluten you know a piece of wedding cake or a piece of pizza at a birthday party and I reminded my son Ben and I said would you like to someday eat a piece of pizza at a birthday party like a year from now and he looked at me and he said yes cuz that wasn't possible then right I said then would you be my partner in your health would you drink green drinks and do acupuncture and try Chinese medicine would you would you do whatever it takes for your health and he thought seriously about it and he said yes and I said I stuck out my hand and I shook shook his hand and I said that I promise you buddy you will get better now that was one of those moments like white light chills I didn't know how the hell he was going to get better I did not know but I did know if I made a promise and put my word on the line as a mother I would take actions that I normally would never take and we did within four months my son's allergies were dramatically better by going out completely organic his his nut allergies went from a 19 down to a 0 2 he no longer has life-threatening allergies the doctors were [Music] [Applause] wrong he is some of the best health covid one day coughing that's it he has not been to the doctors in 10 years okay so he's incredibly healthy now what Bobby is doing is putting his word on the line right he is making a promise to us in our country what we need to do is make a promise that we're going to do whatever it takes to put this man in the white house every single one of us I want you to raise your hand if you're going to do whatever it takes max out your contributions max out your contributions I'm not kidding cause an event in your local neighborhood you you're the ones they're going to cause a fundraiser in your local neighborhoods okay you're going to call your friends and family you're going to send them the link to Joe Rogan podcast or Aubrey's P podcast and say listen to this my son is 20 years old and he's paying his friends bucks to listen to the first hour of The Joe Rogan podcast 1999 and he's a Libertarian you know so if he can do it we can all do it we can bring everybody together and get this man in the White House let's go let's go so Kyle you're up here my brother and first of all I just want to say my own you know give my own gratitude to you for stewarding this beautiful piece of land that we have here and helping lead this Farm into beautiful place it is thank you one of the obstacles that people have to overcome in standing for Robert F Kennedy Jr is the Courage the courage to be attacked the courage to stand just [ __ ] stand no matter what and I look to you and you inspire me as a as a warrior archetype and of course all of us find that and we've felt that coming strong you know over here so strong but for you to give a message you know there's many things that you could talk about and in just a moment though about the courage to stand no matter whatever arrows may come and no matter whatever consequences those dark Forces may try to throw at us how do we stand how do we find that courage to not just privately support this man but publicly stand and take whatever arrows come thank you for the love and uh loaded question um I think of uh King warer magician lover and one of the one of the statements they make in that book about the warrior as an archetype is that the warrior the warrior faces life frontally head on the weor doesn't look away and all of us feel this swelling moment of polarity and the divisiveness of the world right now but we know in our hearts our connection to Nature we know that we love each other and that to me is stronger than the hate that's online that to me is stronger than all the divices this and when we when we feel the truth truth it resonates through our whole body Dan stickler talked about plant medicines for for personal health plant medicines gave me Nature Health they gave me planetary Health they reconnected me to Nature and I feel that when we find these things that are true for us we know the only way forward is the truth and we know there's no other way and when we see someone like Bobby who is speaking the truth in a sea of [ __ ] lies and is about it he's about nature he's about Unity he's about cleaning the world in a way that's not just jibber jabber on television there's really no other choice to make and even if it comes to arrows in the back uh you know whatever the thing is oh you know somebody from the left is well he's not a real Democrat or somebody from the right well he's going to take your guns away whatever the thing is that somebody's going to have as their first loaded statement on why to say no we know why we believe in you Bobby we know no the yes and I think if we if we allow that truth to speak through us there is a way that we can connect to other people through the heart and with that that transmission takes place same transmission pangi gave us this morning same transmission I'm trying to cultivate we're trying to cultivate together with this land where you step on the land and there's a whoo What is this place right the energy shifts and I can feel that energy shifting now not just through all of us but in the conversations that we have there's a knowing when we talk to our friends that's different than being one side of the other and I think if we stand with that knowing the truth comes forward and Bobby is our next president yes sir thank you my brother thank you my [Applause] brother Charles Charles my good friend I'm not even going to cue you up with a with a setup I just want to hear you speak from what's in your heart and and what you're listening to yeah um yeah zen zen your story really landed with me this image of this desperate little boy I just want my allergies to go away 22 allergies and it just you know reminded me that that is not an isolated story there are millions and millions of children and adults in this country uh in misery and hopeless misery behind all these normal looking faces you go out anywhere there there are countless stories um and and and it makes me admire human beings so much that even with all of that they can still be polite to me at the TSA line you know what Zen described was the same thing that Bobby Kennedy is offering our country because it's not just a critique it's not just finally getting honest with how with with with the state that this country is really in but it's also offering a way forward and that way forward is not more of the same it's not well listen to your doctors more it's not to intensify the fight that has been that we've been fighting for I mean on some level for thousands of years according to the formula of the way to improve the world is to destroy the bad thing that has been The Guiding philosophy of our medicine for a long time destroy the virus wash your hands you know stop stop something go to war against something it's been The Guiding philosophy of Agriculture that's what Roundup is the an improved way to destroy things and that has been you know to draw another parallel US foreign policy eradicate the terrorists you know destroy the Communists and so forth and we saw we we are seeing the failure of that and and in politics too uh destroy and humiliate the horrible people on the other side so in all of these ways this candidacy is expressing another path something genuinely new on I won't say on this Earth indigenous people have been holding a very different relationship for a long time and many of us you know with our hippie parents and the margins have also been holding that but now is the moment that it can come into the main stream that's why I'm on this campaign I never imagined that I would be on a on a on like a main stream I mean I guess I'm not sure if that's the right word presidential campaign um where where like these ideas that I've been working with and thinking about my whole life as a philosopher they're not just ideas anymore they can actually happen and and when when when you know to pick up on Dell's theme when people ask me well but can he win and I say he will win that is not a prediction that is a declaration because it is not going to happen by us standing by and watching it happen [Applause] because all of us in various ways are carriers of of a new story of a new theory of change of a new way of relating to each other and to the Earth well again not new ancient new and ancient let's say and so this is as D was saying a vessel for the expression of what we have been carrying and it's going to take some commitment it's going to take some sacrifice a lot of people will say well what can I do and in that question like some sometimes I'm like you know you actually already know what to do and and that question is coming from a certain barrier inside of actually doing it and it does remind me a lot like what D was saying about well pray you know praying for you it reminded me a lot in covid you know when when we dissidents we put our stuff out there we got cancelled got deplatformed and and people would write to us and say uh thank you for speaking out I I can't do that but but I'm glad you are and I'm praying for you and I'm like if if if the example of human beingness that you are offering to God as here's what a human being does when it's dangerous to stick your neck out is to play it safe then how if I do that how am I ever going to expect anybody else to stick their neck out because I'm declaring what a human being does in this situation and so I think that you know St St stepping out to support Robert F Kennedy Jr it is it takes a little bit of Courage you know and and to answer the because you will get attacked especially if you're afraid you will be because then that's something coming up for you to to face it's a it's an initiation and to answer the question where does courage come from for me it comes from Clarity when I know what is true what is right what I want then I have no inner conflict so not sure where I want to go with this next probably nowhere um but yeah just to give a sense of of you know really this is a a historic moment it is a a a initiatory moment for our entire planet uh toward a new way that incorporates all these disperate policy positions you know there is a Common Thread here [Music] and yeah I'm really grateful to be part of it oh [Applause] oh one of the things that thank you for that Charles one of the things that impresses me most is not just you the man that you are but the effect that standing as a lighthouse as a beacon the type of people that you've attracted I mean just look at this panel look at the last panel look at all of these beautiful people look at what standing as a lighthouse does to bring people together and that's why when you're president you're going to heal the Divide you're going to heal the Divide because the gravity the gravity of that force is going to be so strong it is going to pull people in and and it's pulled the best of us in already and it's going to continue to inspire and pull people in so we got probably I don't know six seven minutes here and why don't you just speak from your heart as the lighthouse that you are wherever you want to take it that first of all Aubrey thank you and thanks all of you for coming out and giving a Saturday up to um you know to participate in this this healing event and uh and you you know and show support for this campaign it's as Aubrey said it's really humbling to have so many extraordinary PE people out there who are willing to do that and then these people on this stage who are all in one way or another linked to me through most of them through long friendships uh Zen who who came to every day virtually the Monsanto trials were while we were trying those and has been a friend for I don't know how many decades but a long long time um and a leader against glyphosate Monsanto but she came to Oakland and San Francisco when we were trying the three cases we won 289 million the first one we won 89 89 million in the second one and the third one we asked the jury for a billion dollars and they gave us 2.2 billion and that [Applause] brought um and then Ryland here who uh somebody said to me the other day one of the people actually that were talking to about the vice president uh position and that person said to me um every the answer to everything is in our soil you know we can pay the national debt if we restore our soil we can stop the chronic disease epidemic if we fix our soil we can fix climate change if we fix our soil all the existential threats to our country we can make ourselves self-sufficient we don't have to be in Wars anymore um and all of that's going to come from fixing our soil and that's going to be one of my priorities as president I've [Applause] spent I've spent many decades suing the food industry but particularly uh industrial agriculture Smithfield Foods Tyson Purdue Cargill Santo all of the big companies USDA which was created to support small farmers in this country which Jefferson uh believe were critical to the uh sustenance of American democracy that America had to be rooted in tens of thousands of independent freeholds Family Farms each with a stake in our system of government each with our stake with our of democracy and we had to avoid the control of our landscapes a big um oligarchy of of you know a corporate kleptocracy and that's right where we are today of Smithfield foods that now owns 30% of hog production in this country 80% of the landbase or agricultural landbase North Carolina one company and guess what it just sold itself to China so China Now controls the American landscape this is a colonial model it is not a model this is a feudal model it's not a model for democracy and you know I want to unravel that and then [Applause] Charles Charles who really been you the not just the the conscience of our campaign but the voice and you know in all of my life I've always been very guarded about letting anybody uh write from me in any public forum I write my own books my own tweets everything and I finally found somebody who can express my thoughts better than I can and that's Charles and he's taught you know he's taught all of us in this campaign these extraordinary lessons that you learn every time he opens his mouth and it's just a beautiful beautiful thing and I'm very grateful to him I I've done a lot of things to make his life very very difficult and uh but he's stuck with me and you know that's what love is it's love is effort you know it's not the feeling it's it's what you put into holding on to a relationship even when it's really really difficult and some of the policy areas that I've differed with him on have made his life really difficult but he he was very show a lot of courage and sticking with it and I'm very grateful to you Charles yeah and you know Bobby like does not surround himself with sycophants and and yes men you know so yeah I learned that from children that you know they're here to abuse you um and then uh and Kyle is really good we we have a new friendship now and and I'm very grateful to you and I I haven't gotten to talk a lot to you but what little I have what little time I've spent I'm I'm very I I know we're aligned on on everything and then I'll I'll close just talking about um Chase um I no chase before today but I'm as he alluded to I'm very close friends with his uncle I've spent a lot large 20% of my career working on Indian issues I was one of the founding um editors of Indian Country what was called Lakota Times uh which started a Pine Ridge reservation my father spent a full day on Pine Ridge reservation in 1968 when he was running for president and he saw a a family of Sue living in a burnt out Hulk of an automobile and it and he cried and it was the only time in his life even after his brother's death that uh anybody had ever seen him cry and that word spread on the reservation he spent six hours on that reservation there were 20,000 white people waiting for him in Rapid City and his AIDS told him you've got to we got to go to Rapid City and and you know because Indians don't vote and and he um he ended uh he said if you think I care about that you don't understand your candidate and he spent the time on that reservation the day that he died he won the most rural country the most Urban state in our country California and shockingly the most rural which was South Dakota and he won it because For the First Time The Sue came out and almost all of them voted and he won that vote almost unanimously on Pine Ridge reservation I think there was only four or five people who voted against them and every time I go back there that people say we're still looking for those guys I spent a lot of time um I spent a lot of time on that reservation on Pine Ridge on roseb on Standing Rock I became very very close with his uncle's an extraordinary on now an elder but when I met him he was a young man and the two of us went to the Arctic in 19 1993 to help the K Indians the K had K Indians who own most of Northern Quebec they've never lost a war they never signed a treaty and they in 1993 they heard on the radio that the government of Quebec was going to build on their land uh 600 dams and dikes and they were going to Dam 11 huge major rivers going into Hudson Bay and James Bay they were going to inundate an area larger than Lake Erie so they were going to they were going to create a lake larger than the Great Lakes one of the Great Lakes they were going to destroy the ecosystem larger than France and it was all land occupied by the cre for 20,000 years and they a group of them and some Inuit loaded up in kayaks and canoes dragged them across the eyes went down to St Lawrence down uh dragged them across the eyes I brought him down the Hudson and they met with me in New York City and asked me to come up and ever and I went up there to Northern Quebec it's a long way we were we were up in WAP magui and chasi and and a lot of these towns 800 miles from the nearest pave Road and we brought up 16 members of the New York State legisl and we did the first Descent of the gry will which a really big Whitewater River and we lived in TPS for three weeks we shot Caribou ate them shot moose uh we ate uh we had about 20 three women with us who had put up the TPS for us at night the men never did it I noticed which was interesting and um and uh those legislators then went back and voted against the contract that was going to enable this a $166 billion contract and we killed the project and I um and ever was with me and uh and I and I've spent many you know ever became a good friend I brought my kid my father brought us all out to do naming ceremonies and the in the Western reservations we went to chak Shon Cherokee Hy Navajo every reservation my in in my father's first month of his campaign he made 70 stops and 10 of them were on Indian Reservation so he was really committed to that issue and and I I've spent a lot of time as I said I was one of the founding members of Indian country today the largest um newspaper in in Indian country was originally called Lakota Times um but I brought my kids out to do naming ceremonies at at Standing Rock switch lodges like we're going to do tonight um with Everett Everett put it together so it's really a huge pleasure for me and then I ended up representing because of that our success there I ended up representing Indians on in treaty negotiations and litigation against big you know oil companies chemical companies lumber companies mineral companies all over North America and Latin America Ecuador I spent 10 years on Vancouver Island representing the new CH news how is it who it and many many other tribes out there suing the biggest Lumber Company in the world successfully by the way and um and so anyway we we have a long long journey together and it's really a huge pleasure ever will not get on an airplane but I'm really glad that he sent his nephew out here to do this sweat lodge with us [Applause] yeah all right well it's an absolute honor to sit on a panel with all of you you know Warriors of love and spirit and great spirit and thank you all for your work and your service and as I said to you Bobby to the end to the end thank you thank you all for being here by the way thank you for spending a little bit of time with the next president of the United States I I have the honor of being the director of communications for the Kennedy campaign uh probably the hardest job I've ever had in my life I'll be honest I've never been so busy in my life and no never been so happy to be busy I really want to address a thought though with all of you because obviously many of you have had successful Lives Many of you paid a you know a very large ticket to be here and we're thankful for that support but the question is and we keep hearing can Bobby do it is he going to do it many of you are walking up to me and saying you know we're praying for you is he going to get on the ballot and I just want to take a moment to think about what it's actually going to take because there's only a few of us there's Robert Kennedy Jr offering up his life and his knowledge and his vast experience to make the world a better place so many of you in this room are involved in processes in your life to make the world a better place how did you do it how did you get there how did you achieve how did you make your money did it happen because you kept saying to yourself oh geez I'm not sure this is going to work because I remember the decades I spent doing that man why won't any anybody give me money to make the movie I want to make because it's going to be really good and over the years I realized I actually just really didn't believe you know when Miracles happened you know when Miracles actually happened in my life was The Moment I Saw something I so totally believed in I never question it again that's what vaxed was for me when I stumbled on the story of VX thank you and The Whistleblower inside the CDC many of you know that story when I sat and watch that documentary there was a set of Miracles that put me in that room but when I sat in that moment I did for the first time see my whole life pass before my eyes all of the mistakes I'd ever made all the successes ever had all the fish that got away all the stories all the victim all the why me all the moments and I realized all of that was training me for this moment right now I've never been so sure of anything in my life everywhere and I know you all know this up until that moment all along the way every time I'd have an opportunity another opportunity pop up I'd be like oh man which one is it was drove me crazy it' be a vast desert for 2 years nothing happening and then finally a really awesome call they love my screenplay and then five minutes later somebody else loves it too and my life worked like that I was divided wow what is it going to be until the miracle happened until I found something I believed in so much there was only one decision to make and that was to take the first step and there's only one direction to go and that was forward and my life has never been the same since people say did you know you'd be here did you know be part of running the campaign for the guy that's in third place for president of the United States and looks like he just could win no I didn't but what I did know is in that moment where I left my TV career behind and took a step forward to make a documentary I knew it was going to change my life forever I knew we were going to change the world around this Con this conversation I could feel it I knew it I believed it and see people walk up to me and many of you will do it you'll say oh thank you so much for your sacrifice for My Sacrifice obviously we've been poorly trained if we think the people that get to wake up every day of their life and be inspired and have no Forks in the road and March forward confidently every day or somehow sacrificing their lives then we are missing something the greatest thing any of us can do right now is live totally completely in our Miracle to absolutely live right now you know why you're here you know why we're all here the question is do you believe how many of you have been working on building Farms like this in conscious communities holding on to a dream of an evolution of mankind that the news robs you of Faith every day to believe it can happen all of that negativity you're trying to overcome it trying to overcome it somehow you can't turn off that effing TV because if you did you'd make it a lot easier by the way but we're all working towards this Evolution and now we're sitting in this room together is Bobby Kennedy personally going to change the world is he gonna take the whole world on his shoulders and actually make the world a better place or is he simply a vessel like we all are for the light for the truth for what we actually deserve as Humanity he's not going to do it alone I'm going to do the best I can but it really is going to come down to you and what does that mean what does that mean when you're walking up to me and saying what do I do I I contemplate this all the time so many of you are asking that question what is it we can do you know I know how to do a podcast I could talk about my podcast great please do you know I I I could donate some money or I could donate a farm all do it all do it all but I will tell you what we need more than anything and when you're walking up to me and saying I'm praying for Bobby Kennedy I'm praying for you Dell there's something about it that makes me nervous there's something about it that makes makes me think you think that there's a need that there's a loss that somehow we're in danger that somehow we need protection that somehow there's Darkness around us and what I want to tell you is inside this campaign is pure [Applause] light I have the honor to be working with one of the most beautiful humble spiritual human beings I have ever met in my life and I think about my hippie parents talking about that Nirvana that world that we could actually have spending my entire life thinking what would have to happen that would make that possible I remember arguing my dad having philosophical discussions I think it would probably take some like World crushing disaster because only in disasters do we somehow all drop all of our petty [ __ ] between us and step up to work with each other we all just had our entire world shut down we watched the freedoms of that our founding fathers handed Us in this incredible dream for America absolutely stomped on crushed taken away our jobs destroyed our children's faces covered all day every day ramming you know styluses up their nose asking them if they were afraid enough of this virus to take their lives making every everybody be filled with fear social distancing ourselves none of it based in science both of the last incumbent presidents which is really weird right two incumbent presidents running against each other having to get dead wrong rushing vaccines and proud of it how many millions will die because of it the negativity is already happened the tragedy has already happened and we can stand here like the Gopher in the middle of the road over the dead body just waiting to get killed by the next car that comes along we finally say I've spent enough time in the fear I've spent enough time staring at the tragedy I've worried long enough for my friends it is actually time for Faith it's time for light it's time for love and most importantly it's time to believe so this is what I'm asking of you don't pray for the Kennedy campaign pray for yourself pray that you find a belief that you can see an image of our world that is so beautiful and so wonderful it cannot be touched by the darkness it cannot be taken down by the news it will not ever bow to the lies because it is what is right and it is what what is true it is who we are pray that you feel it pray that you know it and then stand in that with everyone you meet I'm not asking you to convince your friends to vote for Bobby Kennedy I want you to say to them Robert Kennedy Jr is g to win and I love this man he's me he's the future I have for my kids and yes it's possible you want to know more about him he's talking every single day go to kennedy4 go to his YouTube channel listen to him one time and see if you can ever walk away from him again I'm not here to sell you I'm here to tell you he's the next president of the United States and you better get to know him thank you very much walked out the bar to another new day another night trying to drink my blue is way know I never seem to work it out I've been running through the money like a dog chased hair no amount of pleadings going to stop me there you know I mean to go all the way [Music] working for living trying to make things right working all day and out through the night you know to keep from doing wrong well I drink a lot of whiskey I smoke a little weed just to keep the demons taking over me you know I do the best I [Music] can I'm the next person to come up to speak is one of my closest friends in the world Tim story Reverend Tim story motivational speaker Tim story who in my darkest days when I was in my late 20s Saved My Life um with his work and his message um you know and I I asked him if he would do this he replied in 3 seconds yes whatever you need me to do cuz that's the kind of friend he is to me um and what really brought me to Bobby is I've been sober 35 years and the and and the thought now I don't know Bobby personally too well but I know the character of a sober man who has meetings in his house who sponsors guys and walks the walk and walk the talk I've seen that my whole sobriety I know the character of that kind of a man so that's what got my attention right and then once you go deep in you go oh [ __ ] he actually knows what he's talking about um so without further Ado we're running late on time I give you my brother my best friend Tim story thank you let's stand up and just stretch just for a second I'm G see if he turn me up even a little bit more in the mic could we give Aubrey in the whole team a big clap come on and um so just stay standing for a minute so many people involved in doing this and I think we have similar motives right we need to shift some things you agree and um none of us are going to be a discount version of ourself and we've been called to something higher so I'm going to talk about 26 minutes and you're going be like oh my God he really only talked 26 minutes and so it is a privilege to speak to you today it's a privilege to be behind where Bobby Kennedy stands for clap your hands if it is so let's go give two people a high five say you look good and then you may be seated [Applause] all right you may be seated thank you Brent balouse thank you Nitsa give them a clap phenomenal people and everyone else there's a man by the name of Walt Disney and he walked into an amusement park in the 1930s you got to hear this story and he said someday try this say someday he said someday I'm going to have my own amusement park but mine's going to be different better and more magical say different better and more magical so I am a humanitarian I've now been to 78 countries of the world helping people and I'm going to South Africa for my 39th time in September and when I speak at night I say thank you for inv invited me to your fancy at night uh place but every year I want to go to the orphanages in the township so I do but I like to speak even to the five and six and seven year olds because it's amazing like how awake they are so I was speaking in suo and I was telling some stories about working with entertainers and they were getting all excited and then I said after I was done I said what do you want to be when you get older and one little girl said I'm already a queen que she was five and then little little boy said I I'm going to be like LeBron James so it's amazing to me that they were living in the Township in these houses that are like made of metal and yet they were thinking different better more magical somebody say different better more magical so the word magical means extraordinary uncommon not normal not regular so I was born in Compton California and we had seven people in a two-bedroom apartment that's called cramped and crowded and then we had seven people in a Volkswagen Bug not even the bus that's called driving around illegally so imagine how our life was it's like sitting in the center seat at Southwest Airlines like for your whole childhood my mother is from Spain her name is vessen gonzalas and she just turned 93 just last week CL that's pretty cool and she's like very feisty she's very Christian she will pray for you and then cuss you out and then ask for forgiveness and my father is from Cuba so I'm black in Spanish so I'm mixed but my mother taught us we might be lower income but we are not lower class big difference right and then she taught us a work ethic to not do a half job so I knew how to do the dishes like a machine but my sisters when we finally got a house they could they could mow the lawn but my life was still kind of contained so I have found that there are three levels of living almost most and utmost almost means not quite like the relationship almost worked uh I almost got that right job but this almost happened and if you're not careful pick this up you'll get stuck in an almost life who's who's been in an almost place before okay so so for us when when you when you don't have much money I wanted Levis but I think I got something like pis okay so that was stuck in the almost so then you have the most say most so most is like if I Let Go a helium balloon it will go go go go and then will stop right there cuz that is the ciling most of you how can you say that so strong Tim because I work with people most of you you have been raised with a ceiling with a ceiling could have been your parents could have been religion could have been your ex that's why they're your ex are you with me but you had a you had a ceiling but I believe in the utmost life I believe in Breaking beyond the ceiling clap your hands if you believe in Breaking Beyond say this say say different better more magical so Walt Disney has this idea in the 30s it manifests in 1955 they open up Disneyland and I was doing all this research for this I wrote a book called the miracle mentality with Harper Collins on this subject so I probably did no less than 80 hours of research on this whole idea that Walt Disney had about imagination so everything about Disney was about imagination and something that is magical he wanted us to step in and think magical see I believe that that's how we are deep inside of us I went and saw Kendrick Lamar who's from my town Compton in Paris France and he was there with a friend of mine named farel Williams and he was both of them were performing and when Kendrick came out he's from he's from my neighborhood but yet he's singing I got royalty I got royalty it's in my DNA I'm here to tell you today you have royalty and it's in your DNA clap your hands if that is the truth come on now what a great audience I love this audience okay so how do we get there education conversation observation Carol D Stanford University brilliant mind the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset most people have a fixed mindset this is the way it is this is the way it's been I can't believe that fool left me eight years ago a growth mindset thinks different better more magical you have a growth mindset 2004 or 24 is going to be your year 2025 is going to be better 2026 is going to be even better why because you think different better more magical so there's a there's a growth mindset and then there's this fixed mindset but we learn through education so watch how cool this is in the sixth grade my teacher says to me Timmy I need you to stay after class and all the kids go oo okay so I walk up to my teacher and he goes Timmy uh I want to tell you something now watch this I'm a little bit nervous he says I think you are and I think he's going to say a good dancer cuz he saw me win the dance contest a good basketball player cuz he used to be at with the games he says I think you are well he was about to change my life he says I think you are brilliant and because you're brilliant I want you to read one of my books and he gave me a book about the life of Michelangelo written by Irving Stone in the sixth grade the little kid little Timmy from Compton saw this whole life of this guy Michelangelo different better more magical and it began to expand me and I got hooked on books every single day of my life seven days a week I study two hours a day I study two hours already today studying reading growing who else has a growth mindset in here clap your hands like you have a growth mindset say education so we learned from education but we Al learn from watch observation so powerful by observing people my life changed people we were broke down my father struggled with addiction my brother Randy he died from addiction I come from pain but to think that I'd come from Pain and become this guy that goes all these places that Oprah says you are my favorite speaker not the second not my third not my fourth you are my favorite guy you are my guy you are my guy it was Oprah who put me on over and over and over on her show and because Quincy Jones called her and said don't ever treat him like he's normal this guy's coming from a whole other place see sometimes you are one break away from something brilliant you better get ready cuz you've been set up what if March is the month what if what if next month is the month some of you are one break away from something brilliant so we learn from education say education say observation man I got thrown into this thing I we just a guy doing my best and I like school so I went to Seminary and I kept studying and then next thing I know I had a doctorate in world religion and a masters in therapy and the next thing I know I I I had a pretty good gift to gab so I'd speak at the NFL and then they would say hey yo can I get your digits can I get your number this is before the days of a cell phone and I had all these Stars waiting in line and then I and then I would start speaking places and I would notice and I won't say them today I'd see that guy there that and then that started there and then I'd see and I see that started there I was like tripping I was I was way in over my head but the more I got around smart people I begin to observe their discipline and I said there there's more to life than not going to prison like my relatives there there's more to life than just hitting a ceiling but maybe I'm supposed to live an utmost life too maybe I can get a breakthrough it's not a break sit or a break stand it's a breakthrough cuz if I could break through I could break my whole damn family out clap your hands you guys are getting this let's go say education say observation observation you're going to like this story so watch this when I'm six years of age my parents decided to go to a place called Las Vegas and there was a a white family from church that they liked me and so my parents said you're going to stay with the Gibsons I go I like them and so Mikey Gibson was two years older Jeff Gibson was four years older so they were older kids but uh the Gibson house but I walked into the house and it was completely different than ours I walked in it was like hey they lived in a whole different neighborhood everything was different and they had different rules in fact Mrs Gibson said Timmy we bought you a present we we we we bought you some new new pajamas I thought man I ain't never had old pajamas and your mother says you like blue you like the color blue this is about to change my life observation so so so she says come on Jeff come on

people live in the mundane they live in the messy they live in the madness but you're about to step up into a miracle mentality a mentality is a frame of mind it's a mindset your mindset is yours to set you could never kick this out of me it is in me it is entrenched inside of me how many of you have a mindset that is a miracle mindset and nothing can stop you from this time forward clap your hands and Shout a little [Applause] bit she opens it up she mixes them people what a life change oh my gosh look at this look at my fancy life now look at me with all these amazing people different better different better you know why some of you are frustrated cuz you're supposed to live magical and you become a discount version of your damn self and something in you says there's more to life than what I'm living say education observation conversation I'm a good listener talk to me I listen the whole time I was raised by my three sisters I'm the youngest by seven years you have to listen I listen and I listen and I listen so when Videl casson started pulling me up and Lea aoka started pulling me up in my 20s in my 20 and quizney Jones found me at 27 and said I got you little brother I just sit and I just listen I didn't say I got this idea oh my God I'm feeling brilliant I just listen if I was at a table with a Charlton hon I just listen a Bernie Burstein I was just listen I'd listen I would listen I would I would listen and and I was learning I was I was learning I was learning stuff that would someday change my people walk with me in an airport I'm in 90 airports of the world today 90 when you go through Nashville pay attention to the screens I have three shows in 90 airports on all the screens clap your hands that's pretty cool right motivating people so those conversations that I heard from people I can now help people that are stuck in an almost life I was driving the other day to San Francisco I was with a friend of mine and I was getting a call from a prison I said I got I got to take that call so I take the call and I to tell the guy hey I I got my friend in the car so just know but my friend's in the car so he says it's okay so he says I only have this many minutes so he talks I'm I'm I go about 30 more minutes we're going to San Francisco and and then it says boom Another another call from a prison and then and then I go I'm sorry about

many prisoners do you know they're all my friends kids that I refuse to give up on when I look at America we refuse to give up when we look at the plight of what's taking place of America in a setback we don't sit in a setback we don't stay and settle in a setback we bounce back and have a comeback and that's why we're here today thank you for letting me talk to you thank you very much [Music] [Music] what a day this has been great and you know every time I see Bobby like half of the times I see him he has his sleeves rolled up cuz he's just like he's always ready to fix the country you know I really love that and I love how his campaign has no anger there's no insults I think all these all these people running for office need to biohack Bobby's already biohacking Bobby killed everybody in that pullup challenge the guy's muscle he had to change shirts cuz he popped out of the other one it's nuts I've never been so like excited to vote and also like kind of turned on in my life in my life I always had a theory that presidential candidates should be required to take psychedelics before running for office all right I think we start with Joe Biden we give him a bag of mushrooms okay rewire whatever ain't firing up there all right get a full sentence out of that man and I think we give Donald Trump a couple hits of MDMA just a few just a couple just to see what happens open his heart up a little bit more you know can you imagine Donald Trump on a couple hits at MDMA send him down to the US Mexico border he shows up with no pants on just like let him in let him in Jose Miguel let him in I love Mexicans let them in but you know it's nice Bobby doesn't need that and it's nice to have a candidate whose Consciousness is already expanded to the point where he puts the people first and for that I'm super thankful I'm grateful to you guys for being here thank you so much keep supporting the campaign keep living your truth thank you so much my name is Brent P
