HOWEVER, ON ISSUES LIKE VACCINES AND PUBLIC HEALTH HAVE CRITICS CALLING HIM A CONSPIRACY THEORIST AND OTHERS ASKING IF HE IS THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB IN OUR NATION, POSSIBLY THE WORLD STILL KENNEDY BELIEVES IT'S HIS ABILITY TO TAKE ON THAT ESTABLISHED POWER THAT AMERICAN VOTERS WANT AND THAT'S WHY TONIGHT IS ABOUT YOU.

BUT FIRST, EVERYONE PLEASE WELCOME EVEN JOINING ROBERT F KENNEDY JUNIOR TO THE STATE. LET'S GET THIS PART OF THE WAY YOUR VOICE IS RASPY WHY DID YOU EXPLAIN TO OUR AUDIENCE WHY. >> I HAD A VERY, VERY VOICE IT WAS 46 YEARS OLD. IT WAS UNUSUALLY STRONG I EVEN AT THAT TIME MAKING A LOT OF MY AND COMES BE DOING PUBLIC SPEAKING. AND I COULD SPEAK TO LARGE HALLS WITHOUT ANY AMPLIFICATION. 1996 WHEN I WAS 42 YEARS OLD. I GOT STRUCK WITH A DISEASE AND NEUROLOGICAL DISEASE AND INJURY. A CAUSE. THAT'S IT IT MAKES MY VOICE TRIMBLE I ACTUALLY AT THE TIME. I I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH BUT WHAT I WOULD GO ON PEOPLE WOULD WRITE LETTERS AND SAY YOU HAVE DYSTONIA AND YOU SHOULD SEE DOCTOR BLITZER WHO ISHAT? AND THE PHYSICIAN WHO WAS MOST AND IS RETREATING AT. I ULTIMATELY WENT TO SEE HIM. AND HE CONFIRMED THAT I HAD THE YOU KNOW, MAKE SAID I THINK IT MAKES IT FOR PEOPLE TO LISTEN TO ME. I CANNOT LISTEN TO MYSELF ON TV. I WILL NEVER LISTEN TO THIS SO I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU GUYS TO LISTEN TO A WILL SAY ONE THING MY MY THROAT WAS MUCH WORSE. AND I WENT TO JAPAN, WHICH ARE ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. HOW NOVEL SURGERY THAT THEY ONLY DO YOU KNOW. AND IT MADE MY MUCH BETTER. WOULD YOU PROBABLY WON'T BELIEVE. BUT IT WAS MUCH WORSE THAN THIS WE HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS FOR YOU FROM OUR AUDIENCE. >> LET'S GET STARTED BEFORE THAT, THOUGH. I WANT TO SAY YOU'RE ASKING DEMOCRATIC VOTERS IN THIS ROOM AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO DO SOMETHING THAT HASN'T BEEN DONE. >> AND 167 YEARS IN THIS COUNTRY TO VOTE OUT THE PRESIDENT OF THEIR OWN PARTY. NOT TO MENTION REPLACE HIM WITH SOMEBODY WHO HASN'T EVEN HELD ELECTIVE OFFICE. WHY SHOULD THEY TAKE THAT CHANCE. >> WELL, YOU KNOW, I'M RUNNING BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE MY PARTY HAS LOST ITS WAY. THAT THE HIGH ON TO REPRESENT MY FATHER WERE HAVENEGLECTED. LET'S SAY. AND I WANT TO TRY TO BRING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BACK TO THOSE VALUES THAT WERE, YOU KNOW, IN FAVOR OF. FOCUS ON ON THE MIDDLE CLASS AS AS COUNTRY FOCUSED ON ON LABOR, ON RACIAL AND YOU KNOW, ON THE ON THE WELL-BEING OF MINORITIES IN THIS COUNTRY FOCUSED ON THE PARTICULARLY ON CIVIL LIBERTIES AND FREEDOM OF SPEECH PARTY HAS SEEMS TO FORGOTTEN ABOUT. AND THE PARTY TRADITIONALLY WAS ANYONE OR AS WELL. MY PRESIDENT KENNEDY WAS AS HIS BEST FRIEND. WHAT AND HIS APPETITE IS AND HE SAID HE KEPT THE PEACE. HE SAID THE PRINCIPAL JOB AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT. IS TO KEEP THE COUNTRY OUT OF OR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS REPRESENTED DOES USE SINCE INCEPTION. I THINK, YOU KNOW, PARTICULARLY WE'RE DOING NOW IN UKRAINE. IS A DEPARTURE FROM THAT. AND I DON'T I'M VERY, VERY SYMPATHETIC TO THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE. I'M NOT SYMPATHETIC TO PUT THEY DID UKRAINE UP AND ILLEGALLY UNNECESSARILY. WE HAVE WE HAVE NEGLECTED MANY, MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO SETTLE THAT'S WERE PEACEFUL. AND BY THE WAY, MY SON. CONNOR OVER TO THE UKRAINE AND FOUGHT FOR US. SPECIAL FORCES YESTERDAY WAS MACHINE GUNNER. AND HE FOUGHT IN THE CAR, KEEP OFFENSIVE. AND SO CAN AND MYSELF AND MY FAMILY ARE VERY, VERY SYMPATHETIC TO THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE. I THINK. THE WAY THAT WE HAVE CAN TALK TO THE IS BAD UKRAINE. IS TERRIBLE FOR THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE. THIS IS A STORY THAT'S BEEN VERY MUCH IN THE HEADLINES THIS WEEK WITH THE FAILED REBELLION IN RUSSIA BY PUTIN'S OWN MERCENARY HENCHMEN. YEVGENY >> THE WORLD HELD ITS BREATH BECAUSE RUSSIA HAS MORE NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN ANY COUNTRY ON THE PLANET. AND I WANT TO TAKE US TO OUR FIRST QUESTION FROM TEA ON E IN MANCHESTER MANCHESTER, WHICH IS ABOUT RUSSIA JOHNNY. >> YES. THANK YOU, ELIZABETH. >> I HAVE HEARD AND READ THAT YOU BELIEVE THAT RUSSIA HAS ACTED IN GOOD FAITH TOWARDS TRYING TO RESOLVE THE KAINE AND UKRAINE. AND I'M WONDERING IF THAT IS ACTUALLY YOUR POSITION. AND HOW WOULD YOU BRING PEACE TO THE REGION. WITHOUT HIM BOLDING PUTIN AND THREATENING DEMOCRATIC SELF GOVERNMENT AROUND THE WORLD. >> OH, THAT IS A BIT OF AND I WHAT I SAID, WHAT I SAID WAS AT. AND APRIL OF 2022 WAR A FEBRUARY 24 2022. IN APRIL. THERE WAS PEACE A AND BUY AND AN SKI. AND THEY ACTUALLY SIGNED A PEACE AGREEMENT. AND AT THAT TIME. EYE AND BORIS JOHNSON WAS DISPATCHED BY THE WHITE HOUSE TO SABOTAGE AGREEMENT. THE RUSSIANS WERE ACTING IN GOOD FAITH AFTER SIGNING THAT AGREEMENT. THEY WERE ACTUALLY WITHDRAWING TROOPS FROM THE AREA AROUND KYIV. SO IT WAS CLEAR THAT THEY WERE OPERATING IN GOOD FAITH AT THAT POINT. AND WE WERE OPERATING GOOD FAITH. WE SHOULD BE TRYING TO SELL THIS WAR THROUGH SINCE THEN, THERE HAVE BEEN 3 150,000 UKRAINIAN KIDS THAT HAVE BEEN KILLED AND WE'VE TURNED THAT NATION INTO A PROXY WAR BETWEEN UPON A PROXY WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA AND UNITED STATES. EITHER WAY. KNOW, WE WERE TOLD THIS WAS A HUMANITARIAN EXERCISE. IT WAS INTRODUCING BLOODSHED SHORTLY. THE CONFLICT WHEN PRESIDENT BIDEN WAS ASKED WHY ARE WE OVER THERE. HE SAID FOR REGIME TRACK CHANGE OF PLAN A PLAN TO PUTIN. HE'S IN APRIL OF 2020 ON OUR 2022 HIS DEFENSE SECRETARY LLOYD AUSTIN SAID THAT THE REASON FOR AMERICA'S PRESENCE UKRAINE. IS THAT THE GREAT RUSSIAN MILITARY AND EXHAUST ITS CAPACITY TO OPERATE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. THAT IS THE OPPOSITE OF A HUMANITARIAN MISSION. HOW DOES IT MENTION OF A WAR OF ATTRITION IN WHICH THE PEOPLE ARE DYING ARE UKRAINIANS AND THAT'S WHEN YOU SAY YOU WOULD NEGOTIATE A SOLUTION THAT YOU THAT. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE DO YOU AWARD PRESIDENT OF RUSSIA. PART OF KNOW WHAT THE SOLUTION THAT LOOK LIKE BECAUSE. >> RUSSIANS AGREED TO THIS SOLUTION TWICE THEY AGREED TO THE BANKS TO 8. THE CORDS WHICH, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE'RE AGREED TO BUY. GERMANY. I FRANCE AND BY RUSSIA SAID MAINTAINED DONE BY AS PART OF THE UKRAINE, BY THE WAY, UKRAINE, THE DUMB PASS VOTED TO LEAVE THE UKRAINE. 90 TO 10 ELECTIONS LAST YEAR. IN EARLY ELECTIONS, BUT AND REFUSED TO SO POTENT DID NOT LET LET LET ME FINISH THIS. THAT NOT DONE. BUT THAT ACCORDS WHICH WHICH ALL THOSE COUNTRIES AGREED ON. AND THEN IN 2019 SOLECKI RAN FOR PRESIDENT THE FIRST TIME HE'S A COMEDIAN AND ACTOR WITH NO POLITICAL EXPERIENCE. HE ON A PEACE PLATFORM. 70% OF THE VOTE. HIS CAMPAIGN WAS I WILL SIGN THEM AND GRATIFIED THAT MAKES THE CORDS. IF I'M ELECTED. AND AS SOON AS HE GOT ELECTED, HE PITCHED IN LIFE BECAUSE OF US PRESSURE FROM THE CONS FROM VICTORIA NULAND AND CONS IN THE WHITE DID WANT PEACE. AND BECAUSE OF PRESSURE FROM ALTON AT THE NATIONALISTS WITHIN THE UKRAINE WHO SAID THEY WERE GOING TO KILL HIM IF HE'S IF HE'S GOING AS YOU NEGOTIATE WITH PUTIN RIGHT NOW AND GET HIM TO STOP HIS INVASION. I KNOW YOU SAID YOU'RE NOT DEFENDING PUTING. BUT IN IN I MEAN, HE'S EVEN ACCUSED WAR CRIMINAL. HE POISONS IS ENEMIES AND IN PRISONS EASY IS HE IS AN AUTOCRAT. >> SO IF YOU AWARD HIM PART OF UKRAINE. WHAT MESSAGE ARE YOU SENDING TO DICTATORS AND AUTOCRATS AROUND THE WORLD WHO ARE LOOKING TO NEIGHBORING UNTRIES THINKING, HEY, I WANT SOME OF THAT. >> WHEN MY UNCLE WAS PRESIDENT. AND AND THE HIS MILITARY WANTED HIM TO GO TO WAR. OUR LIST. CUBA WITH THE SOVIET UNION DURING THE CRISIS. 1982. HE SAID YOU HAVE TO PUT YOURSELF INTO THE EVERY IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PEACE, YOU HAVE TO IT SHOULD PUT YOURSELF IN THE SHOES TERRI. AND SEE THE WORLD FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE THAT RECOGNIZE THEIR LEGITIMATE SECURITY CONCERNS. WE HAVE. WHAT SERIES OF PROVOCATIONS, INCLUDING UNILATERALLY WALKING AWAY FROM THE 2 NEW MEDIUM-RANGE NUCLEAR MISSILE TREATY RUSSIA, WHICH WE HAD. WE ALL SIGNED. AND PRESIDENT TRUMP AND PRESIDENT OBAMA WALKED AWAY FROM US. WE WOULD WE PROMISED IN 1992 THAT WE WOULD AFTER THE RUSSIANS PAY HUGE CONCESSION TO US LEAVING 4 100,000 TROOPS OUT OF GERMANY, ALLOWING US TO CUT CONSOLIDATE EAST AND WEST GERMANY UNDER NATO CONTROL WHICH WAS AN ADVERSARY ARMY TO THEM. AND THEY SAID THE 1 THING WE WANT FROM YOU IS THAT YOU WILL NOT ONE INCH TO THE EAST. AND PRESIDENT SECRETARY OF STATE BAKER SAID AT THAT TIME FAMOUSLY WE WILL NOT MOVE INCH TO THE EAST. SINCE THEN WE HAVE A MOTIVE THAT SOUNDS MILES TO THE EAST AND 14 COUNTRIES AND WE PUT A JUST MISSILE SYSTEMS IN AND POLAND RIGHT HERE. RUSSIANS PORTER. WHEN SHOT PUT NUCLEAR MISSILES IN CUBA, WHICH IS FARTHER AWAY THAN THE THAN WE DO HAVE, YOU KNOW, TO WE WOULD HAVE INVADED IF THEY HAD WITHDRAWN FROM MY OWN PRESIDENT THAT WE WOULD HAVE GONE IN. WE I ON GOAL NEW. WHY THE RUSSIANS HAVE DONE THAT. HE DID IT BECAUSE THEY DID CREW SHIFT. IT BECAUSE WE HAD PUT INTO A MISSILE SYSTEMS. JUPITER SYSTEMS IN ITALY. AND IN TURKEY AND MY UNCLE MY FATHER THAT WAS AND IS AND HAS SERVED UP AND IN SECRETLY AND MADE A SECRET DEAL. IF YOU REMOVE THE MISSILES NOW, WE WILL TAKE OURS HAD A TURKEY. SO YOU KNOW THAT THE RUSSIANS HAVE BEEN INVADED 3 TIMES SOME OF THE UKRAINE, THE LAST TIME THEY WERE THE GERMANS KILL 1 THE 7 RUSSIANS. THEY DESTROYED ALL OF 3RD OF TO RUBBLE AND BURNED THE FIELD. IT SAYS IF KUHL SAID THIS IS 19 AND HIS 1963 SPEECH AMERICAN UNIVERSITY. HE SAID DATE THEY DESTROYED. THE EQUIVALENT OF THIS TRYING TO EAT THE ENTIRE THING. PART OF THE UNITED STATES FROM THE EAST COAST TO CHICAGO IF ALL THE FIELDS, ALL THE FORCED RETURN. ALL THE CITY'S REDUCED TO RUBBLE. THAT'S WHAT WAS DONE. THEY HAVE A LEGITIMATE CONCERN ABOUT US MOVING NATO AND THE EU WRITES, WE WOULD NEVER LET THEM PUT MISSILE SYSTEMS IN CANADA OR MEXICO. WE WOULD INVADE IF THEY DID THAT. AND WE HAVE TO BE ABLE PUT OURSELVES TO ENTER POSITIONS. WE HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS TO GET TO. BUT YOU KNOW THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF DEMOCRATS FULLY AND CONSISTENTLY HAVE SUPPORTED PRESIDENT BIDEN AND HIS SUPPORT OF UKRAINE IN THIS WAR. YOU ARE YOU SEEM TO BE OUT OF STEP WITH THE OWN PARTY. THE VOTERS THAT YOU'RE ASKING DOESN'T MAKE DOES NOT MAKE IT RIGHT. >> WE NEED TO NATION. WE NEED TO RESTORE OUR IF EVERY DEMOCRAT IS AGAINST ME AND I'M STILL GOING TO SAY IT. I'M GOING TELL PEOPLE THE CAR WOULD BE TO CHAIN AND YOU THINK GETTING PART OF UKRAINE TO PUTIN IS RESTORING OUR GIVING PART OF THE UKRAINE TO PUT PUTTING A GREATER ORIGINALLY TO LEAVE UKRAINE ALONE. IF WE SIGNED THE AGREEMENT. SO, YOU KNOW, BLOOM WAS NOT DEMANDING ANY PART OF UKRAINE EVEN THOUGH THE ESTIMATE RUSSIANS IN THE 19 TO VOTE IN 19 TO 10 BOSTON. JOIN RUSSIA. HE SAID NO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NEGOTIATION WITH LOOK LIKE EXACTLY. BUT I KNOW WHAT THEY AGREED TO BEFORE AND IT WAS A REASONABLE AGREEMENT. THEY JUST DID NOT WANT NATO TO GO INTO UKRAINE. AND WE SAID WE DON'T CARE EITHER WAY WHEN WE ORIGINALLY SAID THAT WE WERE DO THIS. GEORGE CANNON WHO MOST IMPORTANT DIPLOMATIC AMERICAN HISTORY. HE WAS THE ARCHITECT THE CONTAINMENT POLICY AFTER WORLD WAR 2 IS A DEITY IN AMERICAN STATESMANSHIP. HE SAID IF YOU GO AND JUST UKRAINE, YOU'RE GOING TO FORCE THE RUSSIANS TO HAVE RESPONSE. WILLIAM PERRY. WAS BILL CLINTON, SECRETARY OF STATE SAID IF YOU GO INTO THE UKRAINE WITH NATO. I'M GOING TO RESIGN BECAUSE YOU'RE FORCING THE RUSSIANS TO RETALIATE SILENTLY. AND BILL WILLIAM BURNS WHO NOW THE HEAD OF THE CIA. WHAT IS THE END THE U.S. AMBASSADOR TO THE SOVIET UNION SAID THE SAME THING. HE SAID YOU CANNOT MOVE ON UKRAINE BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO FORCE THE RUSSIANS TO RETALIATE VIOLENTLY AND SAID HE CALLED A RED LINE HE SAID IF YOU A RED LINE, RUSSIA IS GOING TO HAVE TO GO INTO GREAT. SO ALL OF US KNEW THAT ALL OF OUR DIPLOMATS KNOW THAT. AND THE COMIC BOOK DEPICTION AT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THEIR LEADERSHIP. I WANT TO TELL YOU SEATS THAT YOU'RE SITTING ON TODAY. YOU KNOW, WILL FIRST HAVE PUT THOSE SEATS AND HEAR THE VERY SEAT YOU'RE SITTING ON. YOU. PHIL DONAHUE. BUILD. IT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE MOST POPULAR DAYTIME AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM AT THE HEIGHT OF HIS POPULARITY. HE TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT THE WAR. HE SAID THERE ARE NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION OR ACT. 2 DAYS LATER HE LOST HIS JOB AND THAT SEATS ARE EMPTY. WE HAVE TO END IT AND HOW WE ALL KNOW HE WAS RIGHT. SO I WHAT I'M SAYING TODAY. I KNOW 10 YEARS FROM EVERYBODY'S GOING TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS THE TRUTH. WE HAVE BEEN LIED TO OR OR GOT MEN AND WE NEED TO START HEARING THE TRUTH AND WE NEED TO STOP PAYING ATTENTION. COULD THESE COMIC BOOK DEPICTIONS. IT'S A THERE'S BAD GUYS AND GOOD GUYS IN AMERICA IS ALWAYS A GOOD GUY. WE NEVER MAKE MISTAKES. WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THERE'S NO WATCH. THERE'S COMPLEXITY IN OUR RELATIONSHIPS AND WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO PUT OURSELVES IN THE SHOES ARE ADVERSARIES. IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TRUE TRIP. HE'S IN THE PROBLEM, WHICH WE WANT. ALL RIGHT. THIS TAKES US TO A QUESTION FROM SANDY MUELLER, A STAY-AT-HOME MOM AND CHICAGO MIGHT BE INTERESTING GIVEN YEAR. >> WHAT YOU JUST SAID. >> YOUR FATHER AND UNCLE WERE HEROES IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WITH A BE CONSIDERED DEMOCRATS TODAY AND ARE YOU SHOCKED. HOW YOU'RE BEING TREATED BY THE DEMOCRATS AND MEDIA. >> I'M I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT BUT I I'M NOT YOU KNOW, PEOPLE GET SUBSUMED UNORTHODOX. AND I THINK I BELIEVE. THAT THE VALUES THAT I AM TRYING TO PROMOTE, I THINK EXACT VALUES THAT MY FATHER AND MY PROMOTE AND WRITN BOOKS ABOUT MY FAMILY OF I YOU KNOW, THE MORE I STUDIED MY FAMILY MARKET FOR IT. MY AND MY FATHER. THE MORE PROUD I AM I HAVE DEVOTED MY LIFE. TO PROMOTING THE SAME KIND OF VALUES THAT I THINK THEY PROMOTED NOT TRYING TO WHAT I WANT MY PURPOSES. IN RUNNING IS TOEMIND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY YOU KNOW WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT AND WHAT WE'VE ALWAYS REPRESENTED. AND YOU KNOW, PEOPLE HAVE SAID TO ME WHY RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT. I SAY BECAUSE I'M A DEMOCRAT, THIS IS THIS IS MY IDENTITY. BUT I WANT MY PARTY BACK. I WANT MY PARTY TO BE ONE OF PARTY THAT I GREW UP AND THE PARTY OF JOHN KENNEDY, THE PARTY OF ROBERT KENNEDY, PARTY OF FDR. AND HARRY TRUMAN. >> YOU SAY THAT YOU'RE A BUT YOU'RE GETTING A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM THE A LOT OF LEADING VOICES ON THE RIGHT LIKE STEVE BANNON, TUCKER CARLSON, ALEX JONES, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. MANY DEMOCRATS FEAR THAT YOU'RE A SPOILER IN THE RACE THAT YOU WILL DAMAGE PRESIDENT BIDEN IN THE PRIMARY AND GREASE THE SKIDS FOR FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP TO RETURN TO THE OVAL OFFICE THIS WEEK. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID ABOUT YOU. KENNEDY IS SMART AND HE'S A COMMON SENSE GUY. WHAT KIND OF MAN DO YOU THINK DONALD TRUMP >> YOU KNOW, HERE'S WHAT I'M NOT GOING TO DO IN THIS RACE. I'M NOT GOING ATTACK OTHER PERSONALLY, I DON'T THINK IT'S GOOD FOR OUR COUNTRY. AND I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO THIS RACE IS BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER. IS TO TRY TO BRIDGE THE DIVIDE BETWEEN AMERICANS AND GUESS IT'S NO ONE I'D ADD IT AND WE TOOK THIS TRAIN RIDE FROM THIS 7 AND A HALF HOUR TRAIN RIDE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE 2 HOURS ON PRODUCTS. I WAS WITH THE MONEY DIED IN LOS ANGELES. AND THEN WE BROUGHT. IT. FROM NEW YORK AND STATION UNION STATION IN WASHINGTON, D.C., THEY WERE DOING TO 2 AND A HALF HOUR RIDE. BUT IT TOOK 7 HAVE BECAUSE WITH 2 AND A HALF MILLION PEOPLE ON THAT TRAIN TRACK. AND AND IT WAS A CROSS SECTION AMERICAN. ALL OF THE MAJOR URBAN STATIONS AND TRACK WILMINGTON IN BALTIMORE. THE BLACK AMERICAN SAME BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC WHITES ON THE IN THE RURAL AREAS. LOT WHO ARE HOLDING UP SIGNS GOODBYE. BOBBY PRAY FOR BE AMERICAN FLAG STANDING SALUTING 4 YEARS LATER AND THEY HAVE SUPPORTED MY FATHER IN THE PRIMARIES IN 1968 4 YEARS LATER, IN 1972 THEY WERE NOT SUPPORTING AND THEY WOULD NOT SUPPORT. AND WE'RE NOT SUPPORTING GEORGE MCGOVERN WHO WAS ALIGNED MY FATHER AND ALL THESE ISSUES. INSTEAD THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEM WERE SUPPORTING GEORGE WALLACE. MY FATHER WAS ABLE TO HARNESS THESE POPULISTS. ENERGY IS THE LAST DAY OF HIS LIFE. HE AND THE MOST THIS COUNTRY'S UP THE COVID OR HE WAS ABLE TO BRIDGE THE ON PEOPLE WHO WOULD OTHERWISE BE REPUBLICAN AND SOMEBODY WHO IS COMMON SENSE CREW WAS ABLE TO APPEAL TO THEIR IDEALISM WHO IS ABLE TO FIND THE HERO IN EACH OF THEM WAS ABLE TO GET THEM TO TRANSCEND THAT WAS OF INTEREST. AND SEE THEMSELVES AS PART OF A COMMUNITY PART OF THIS, YOU KNOW, INCREDIBLE AMERICAN ADVENTURE AND IN MODELING SELF-GOVERNANCE FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD. AND SO I'M PROUD THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP LIKES ME EVEN THOUGH I DON'T AGREE WITH HIM ON ISSUES. I BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ALIENATE PEOPLE. I WANT TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER. I'M PROUD THAT ALL OF THESE PEOPLE LIKE ME AND I HAVE INDEPENDENT SUPPORTERS AND DEMOCRATIC SUPPORTERS. AND THAT I'M ABLE TO BRING A LOT OF PEOPLE. YOU KNOW, EVERY DEMOCRAT SAYS. I WANT TO END THE POLARIZATION. BUT HOW DO YOU DO THAT WITHOUT TALKING TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T AGREE WITH YOU. HOW DO YOU DO THAT WITHOUT APPEALING TO PEOPLE OUT THE MY PURPOSE IS TO FIND THE ISSUES OF VALUES THAT WE HAVEN'T COMMENT OTHER THAN, YOU KNOW, FOCUS ON THE ISSUES AND THE PERSONALITY TO KEEP US ALL A PART AS A LIFELONG DEMOCRAT. AS YOU JUST SAID, VERY WILL YOU PLEDGE TO SUPPORT WHOEVER THE DON DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE IS WHOEVER IT IS, WHETHER IT'S YOU, WHETHER IT'S PRESIDENT BIDEN OR OF COURSE GOING TO DO THAT. >> I'M GOING TO KNOW. OF DON'T GET THE NOMINATION. YOU WON'T SUPPORT PRESIDENT. I DON'T KNOW LET'S SEE HOW THE DEMOCRATS SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS CAMPAIGN. LET'S WHAT IF. IF PEOPLE ARE LIVING UP TO DEMOCRATIC VALUES AND HAVING DEBATES AND HAVING DISCUSSIONS TALKING TO EACH OTHER. BUT I'M NOT GOING TO FIND THAT'S NOT HAPPENING. WOULD YOU THEN YOU KNOW WHAT MY PLAN IS TO WIN THIS ELECTION. AND I DON'T HAVE A PLAN >> WE ARE WE ARE IN CHICAGO WHICH WILL BE THE HOME THE HOST TO THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION NEXT IT IS ALSO WHERE PRESIDENT BIDEN CAME TODAY TO UNVEIL HIS ECONOMIC BLUEPRINT IS CALLING IT BY NOM IX. THE ECONOMY IS A HUGE ISSUE WITH VOTERS FROM, OF ALL STRIPES ACROSS THE COUNTRY LEADS TO OUR XT QUESTION FROM GEORGIA HOME BUILDER AND KRON CONTRACTOR IN THE CHICAGO GEORGE. >> EVERYWHERE LOOK, PRICES ARE SKY HIGH GASOLINE TO GROCERIES TO BUILDING MATERIALS. INFLATION AND THE UNCERTAINTY WHICH BRINGS WITH IT. HE'S DAMAGING OUR ECONOMY. WHAT IS YOUR PLAN? TO REDUCE INFLATION. >> THANK YOU, GEORGE. I I YOU KNOW, OF A LONG-TERM PLAN SHORT-TERM PLAN. YOU KNOW, THE CURRENT PLAN, WHICH IS. TO RAISE INTEREST RATES. DRAMATICALLY AND AND AND 2, 2. AND THE QUANTITATIVE EASING I THINK IS REALLY DOING TREMENDOUS DAMAGE. I WAS IN CLEVELAND. YESTERDAY MEETING I'M. AFRICAN AMERICAN BUSINESS PEOPLE AND COMMUNITY CALLED HARVARD COMMUNITY. AND ONE AFTER THE OTHER. THEY WERE GETTING UP AND TELLING ME ONE OF THEM WAS WOMAN. WHO HAD A OPERATED FOR 3. JEFF FOR GENERATIONS. 80 YEARS A SAUSAGE COMPANY THAT WAS VERY, VERY SUCCESSFUL. SHE JUST HAD. AND IT WAS BRINGING LOTS OF PROSPERITY TO HER COMMUNITY AND LOTS OF JOBS. SHE JUST HAD TO CLOSE DOWN BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T GET A BANK SHE COULDN'T GET A BANK ON BECAUSE THE INTEREST RATES ARE HIGH AND THE LITTLE BANKS. THE ONES THAT ALONG TO BUSINESSES. THEIR TREASURY 1000 OUT INTEGRATED YOU AND THEY'RE SCARED ABOUT THEIR TARGETS FOR TAKE OVER STOCKS HAVE DROPPED 80% BECAUSE OF THE INTEREST AND THEY'RE NOT LOANING MONEY AND THERE'S NO MONEY AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE WHO NEED IT. AND SO, YOU KNOW WHAT WE'VE DONE. WE'VE SENT BACK CANNES. YOU'RE RIGHT. AND WHAT WE HAVE INFLATION. WE HAVE INFLATION BECAUSE OF THE CONTINUOUS FOREST. SPECIFICALLY WOULD YOU DO TO LOWER INFLATION. NUMBER 1, I'M GOING I'M GOING TO WIND DOWN THE AMERICAN AND START. WE'VE SPENT A TRILLION DOLLARS ON THE RACK OR. AND THE WORDS THAT AND WE SPENT 16 TRILLION DOLLARS ON THE PANDEMIC, ON THE CLOCK LOCKDOWN LOCKDOWN COSTA 16 TRILLION DOLLARS. AND WE'VE GOT FOR WE'VE GOT NOTHING FOR THE IRAQ WAR. WE'VE GOT END UP KILLING MORE IRAQIS AND SADDAM PEOPLE IN THE GROCERY STORES TONIGHT. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO BRING DOWN THE PRICES OF THE FOOD AND THE GASOLINE THAT THEY'RE PAYING FOR IT. YOU KNOW, IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE. >> WELL, THE ONLY WAY THAT WE CAN DO THAT IS BY REDUCING INFLATION. INFLATION GOING TO BE REDUCED OVER. ONLY NEED TO DO IS STOP SPENDING MONEY ON THINGS THAT WE CAN'T AFFORD. WE'RE, YOU KNOW, BORROWING HOW UP A BILLION DOLLARS A DAY FROM THE CHINESE AND JAPANESE. IN ORDER TO FUND THE DEBT. THE DEBT THIS YEAR IS GOING TO COST US 6 160 BILLION DOLLARS MORE THAN HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. JUST A SERVICE ON THE DEBT. WE'RE NOT GOING TO AND THAT PROBLEM OF WE'VE GOT TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE'VE GOT TO STOP, YOU GOT TO STOP. WE'RE SENDING 113 BILLION DOLLARS TO ME TO UKRAINE. THEY THE ENTIRE BUDGET CDC IS 12 BILLION. THE BUDGET OF THE PA IS 12 DONE. 57% OF AMERICANS COULD NOT PUT THEIR HANDS ON $1000 IF THEY HAVE AN EMERGENCY AND FAMILY. 25% OF AMERICANS ARE HUNGRY. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO WAS ON FOOD STAMPS. HE'S A COMMERCIAL FISHERMAN. HE'S WORKED HIS ENTIRE LIFE TO THE WORK ON CREATING A BUSINESS ITS EYE AND HE IS HE WAS INJURED. HE IS ON PERMANENT DISABILITY. HE WAS GETTING FOOD STAMPS. 2 $183 A MONTH. AND THOSE FOOD STAMPS ARE NOW WITH A LIVE CLASS BECAUSE THE INFLATION FROM PAYING FOR THE WARS. CAUSE 76% RISE IN DAIRY MILK AND EGGS OVER THE PAPAST 2 YEARS. ON MARCH 1ST HE GOT OF A ROBO CALL FROM THE GOVERNMENT SAYING THAT HIS FOOD STAMPS ARE BEING CUT BY 90%. SO HE WAS GETTING 2 183 MINDS THAT YOU CAN'T FEATURE SELF A HE'S NOW GETTING $23 A MONTH. TRYING TO FEED HIMSELF AND $0.80 A DAY. THAT SAME MONTH, 30 MILLION AMERICANS GOT THAT CALL THAT POINT IN MARCH. ANOTHER 50 MILLION AFTER MEDICACARE CUT. THAT SAME MONTH. WE SPENT WE PRINTED 3 100 BILLION DOLLARS TO BAIL OUT THE SILICON VALLEY BANK AND WE TOPPED OFF UKRAINE AT 113 BILLION. WE DO. AND WE HAVE MONEY. PLENTY OF MONEY FOR THE BIG SHOTS NEED THEIR BANK BAILOUTS. AND FOR ANY WAR THAT COMES ALONG AND IF YOU TOOK AT 113 MILLION THAT BILLION THAT WE'VE GIVEN TO THE UKRAINE. AND SPEND IT HERE. WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO SPEND TO CUT $1 FROM FOOD STAMPS FOR THAT 30 MILLION AMERICANS. AND WE'RE ACTING LIKE AN YOU KNOW, BEHIND ON HIS MORTGAGE AND HE'S TAKING THE MILK MONEY. AND BUYING ROUNDS FOR STRANGERS AND THE BAR. AND THINKING HE'S MAKING PERMANENT FRIENDS. AND ALL OF THESE MONEY THAT WE'RE SPENDING ON THE MILITARY HAS NOT MADE SAFER AND IT'S NOT THAT FRIENDS CHINA. WE SPENT 8, 8 TRILLION DOLLARS. ON ON THE ON THESE WORDS OR ACT. DURING THAT SAME AND YOU KNOW, AND PAKISTAN AFGHANISTAN LIBYA AND SYRIA AND THAT SAME BONDING BRIDGES PORTS AIRPORTS, HOSPITALS UNIVERSITIES. THAT SAME PERIOD. THE CHINESE SPENT A TRILLION DOLLARS BUILDING PORTS AND SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS AND ROADS. AND THEY ARE NOW EATING OUR LUNCH BROUGHT BECAUSE PEOPLE LEFT THEM IN AFRICA LATIN AMERICA AND ASIA BECAUSE THEY LIKE THEM A LOT MORE THAN SENDING WEAPONS AND HOLDING A GUN TO THEIR THEY HAVE. WE NEED TO CHANGE THAT. AND WE HAVE A QUESTION. CHINA LATER ON THE SHOW. WE HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT WE NEED TO GET TO. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A BREAK, THOUGH, BECAUSE COMING UP NEXT. >> IMMIGRATION AND THE U.S. BORDER WAS MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION WE GOT FROM OUR AUDIENCE WILL HAVE MISTER KENNEDY'S ANSWERS TO THAT AND MUCH MORE AFTER A QUICK BREAK. WELCOME BACK. THE VAST MAJORITY OF QUESTIONS WE GOT FROM OUR AUDIENCE CONCERNED BORDER SECURITY. >> MISTER KENNEDY RECENTLY AT THE BORDER. YOU TOWARD IT TO GET A FIRSTHAND LOOK. YOU CALLED IT A DYSTOPIAN NIGHTMARE AND SAID THAT YOU WOULD SEAL THE BORDER. AND I WANT TO GO NOW TO OUR FIRST QUESTION FROM THE AUDIENCE HOSTS A HOST WAY FROM CHICAGO. >> HELLO, I'M THE SON OF MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS AND THE HUSBAND OF A HONDURAN IMMIGRANT. SO MY QUESTION IS ON IMMIGRATION. WITH CONGRESS, UNABLE TO REACH AN AGREEMENT ON COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM IN DECADES. WHAT IS YOUR PLAN TO ADDRESS MIGRATION. >> YEAH. I MEAN, I THINK AND THANK YOU HAS IS IT HOME. OKAY. I DON'T THINK THAT IT'S GOING TO BE POSSIBLE TO GET AN IMMIGRATION REFORM PACKAGE THROUGH CONGRESS UNTIL WE SEE ON THE BORDER. BECAUSE WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOTTEN OUT IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. 7 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE COME ACROSS THE BORDER AND IT IN, YOU KNOW, THE MOST DISTURBING PART OF A IS THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS. THE CRUEL TO THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING BROUGHT TO THE BORDER. AND THEY'RE BEING EXPLOITED KNICKS BEING RAPED, ROBBED. THE CARTELS ARE NOW RUNNING US IMMIGRATION AND THERE AND EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THE BUT THERE HAVE BEEN 9. WE WERE TOLD BY THE BORDER PATROL IN EYE AND SUICIDES OF BORDER PATROLMEN IN THE YEAR. BECAUSE THEY'RE AS ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING, THEY ARE LITERALLY WHAT IT TOOK ME 3 DAYS. THE PORT UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING. THE FIRST I SAW I WATCHED, YOU KNOW, I GOT THERE AT 2 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING. STAY THERE UNTIL ABOUT 4. I WATCHED AS HUNDREDS 100'S OF PEOPLE COMING ACROSS THE FIRST GROUP WAS ABOUT 60 AFRICAN A MAN FROM WEST AFRICA MAINLY FROM I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO SEE CENTRAL AMERICANS. AND YOU KNOW, A LOT OF MYLAN'S AND SALVADORIAN BUT I DIDN'T. WE ONLY SAW IN THE WHOLE NIGHT WAS ONLY 2 FAMILIES FROM LATIN AMERICA, ONE FROM COLOMBIA, ONE FROM AND ALL OF THAT BUT IMPROVE THE LIVES AND EVERY PENNY TAKE IT AWAY FROM HIM. THE THE REST OF MORE FROM THE AZERBAIJAN PAKISTAN. KAZAKHSTAN TIBET, PAUL PAKISTAN AND MANY, MANY FROM CHINA. THE CARTELS ARE NOW ADVERTISING ALL OVER THE WORLD THERE'S AN OPEN BORDER THEY'RE BRINGING PEOPLE AND THEY GIVE VIDEOS ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT TO DO TRY TO MEXICO. THEY'RE GIVEN FEES JUST INTERNAL VISAS MEXICO. GULF OF MEXICO CITY ON A PLANE TO MEXICALI. THEY'RE LOADED ON FLEETS OF BUSES AND THEN BROUGHT TO THE 40 CROSS. THE ONLY LE THE BORDER PATROL. IS TO STAMP THEM AND A CHECK OF A CRIMINAL RECORD. IF THEY DON'T. THEY ARE BROUGHT TO AIRPORT AND THEY'RE GIVEN TO TICKET TO ANY CITY IN THE UNITED STATES. THEY WANT TO GO TO. HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE NEED TO APPLY FOR IF KNOW THEY THEY'RE GIVEN A COURT DATE. AND COURT DATE IS A CURSORY QUICK LIKE AN ARRAIGNMENT AND THEY'RE REAL COURT DATE WHICH THEY DON'T THEY DO, BUT THEY PROBABLY WANT TO SHOW UP TO 7 YEARS LATER. SO THEY'RE ESSENTIALLY GIVEN A SEVEN-YEAR PASSES AND COUNTRY TO SEAL THE BORDRDER. WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S IT'S NOT THAT HARD AS YOU KNOW, WOULD YOU DO IT. I WOULD DO I THINK THERE'S A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO DO. I WAS TRUMP'S WALL AND HAVING SEEN DOWN THERE. I SEE THAT THERE'S YOU WERE REQUIRED TO GIVE A PHYSICAL BAR UNCERTAIN. NOT ALL THE WAY. 2200 MILES FROM SAN DIEGO BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS. A CERTAIN HIGHLY DENSELY POPULATE YOU AT POPULATED NEED A PHYSICAL BUT IN THE HINTERLANDS, THE WILDERNESS AREAS YOU CAN USE SENSORS LIKE THEY DO IN ISRAEL. THE GROUND SENSORS POWERS OF AI, GREAT THREES. I DON'T THINK YOU WOULD REBUILD. YOU WOULD RESUME THE BUILDING OF OF TRUMP'S BORDER WALL. WILL A LOT OF IT NOW HAS BEEN REBUILD. YOU KNOW, IF OR CAUSE THAT DHS SECRETARY RECOGNIZE. THE LEFT HIM. BUT IT'S NOT IT'S NOT SO MUCH BALL. IT'S THE OTHER SENSORY DEVICES THAT WERE ALL I LIFT UP, YOU KNOW, WHICH AND I'M VERY EMBARRASSED SAY BY THIS ADMINISTRATION BY DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION. AND ALSO THE POLICIES WILL CHANGE. SO THAT THE PRESUMPTION IS EVERYBODY GETS IN. I WITNESSED IT MYSELF. AND WE CAN'T HAVE HE'S NOT GETTING EVERYBODY GETS IN CARS OF PEOPLE WAITING TO TRY AND APPLIES TO THE NEW APP THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS SET UP THEIR SETTING UP. THAT'S REALLY WHAT CREATION. >> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. I'M ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. EVERYBODY GETS IN. I WATCHED AN. 7 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE COME IN JUST PUT THE ONE LITTLE I WAS AT YUMA. THERE'S 3 150,000 PEOPLE CAME HERE BEFORE, BUT WHAT YOU KNOW, I'M NOT WITH THE HUMID SORTIES WITH THE HOSPITALS. AND IT WAS YOU KNOW, THAT CENTERS THAT. TAKE CARE OF THE IMMIGRANTS. WHO ARE, YOU KNOW, BELEAGUERED. I MET WITH THE BORDER PATROL AND THE SHERIFF AND EVERYBODY AGREED IT COULD BE STOPPED. IT COULD BE WOUND DOWN DO WHAT IT WAS BEFORE THIS ADMINISTRATION, WHICH WAS ABOUT 25 PEOPLE A DAY WHICH IS NOT A BIG PROBLEM. I HAVE 3 10800 TODAY. AND THAT, YOU KNOW, NO NATION CAN SURVIVE IF THEY CAN PROTECT THEIR BORDERS. WE NEED. I WOULD, YOU KNOW, AS PRESIDENT I WILL EXPAND LEGAL IMMIGRATION. I WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR TYPICALLY FOR WORKERS TO COME ACROSS. THE H VISAS AND ON. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, AND BRING IN ORDERLY SYSTEM THAT BENEFITS OUR COUNTRY. WE NEED. IMMIGRATION IS GOOD FOR OUR COUNTRY. THIS KIND OF IMMIGRATION IS UNFAIR TO EVERYBODY AND PARTICULARLY THE IMMIGRANTS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT OVER THE LONG TERM. THEY THE IMMIGRANTS THAT HAVE POURED IN FROM LATIN AMERICA. A LOT OF THEM ARE COMING UP BECAUSE APOLOGIES WRONGFUL POLICIES THAT U.S. IS THE DRUG OR THE AUSTERITY PROGRAMS. THE SUPPORT OF HUNT HAS OTHER WAR ON THE POOR THAT LEAD PAINT AND SOME FOR SOME YEARS AND WE NEED TO CHANGE POLICIES. YOU YOU MENTIONED THE DRUG WARS AND FENTANYL HAS BEEN A SCOURGE CITIES AND TOWNS ACROSS AMERICA 107,000 AMERICANS DIED LAST YEAR OF DRUG OVERDOSES. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE PEOPLE DIED FROM FENTANYL OVERDOSES. >> THAT LEADS US TO OUR NEXT FELICIA IS AN ADDICTION COUNSELOR. SHE LOST HER SON 10 YEARS AGO TO ADDICTION. FELICIA WATCHING TONIGHT. >> WE ARE LOSING THE WAR ON WHAT POLICIES ARE IDEAS. DO YOU THAT WOULD CHANGE THAT. WHAT'S YOUR PLATFORM AND SUBSTANCE USE AND WE NEED. WE NEED HELP. I'M DESPERATELY. >> AND MIKE, YOU KNOW, I'M ON MY OWN HISTORY OF ADDICTION. I WAS AN ATTIC FOR 14 YEARS. BETWEEN STARTING ONE AFTER MY DAD DIED I WAS 28 YEARS OLD AND SO AND I I'M VERY ACTIVE AND RECOVERY. I GO TO PROBABLY 9 MEETINGS A WEEK. AND I THINK A LOT OF MY TIME THINKING ABOUT IT AND SEEING WHAT WORKS. AND I TAKE MANY, MANY PEOPLE. OVER MY OF 40 WORKING THESE PROGRAMS. I'VE TAKEN HUNDREDS 100'S OF PEOPLE INTO DIFFERENT FORMS OF RECOVERY. AND I HAVE A VERY GOOD IDEA OF WHAT AND VISION FOR WHAT WE NEED TO DO IN THIS COUNTRY AND WE NEED TO MAKE ADDICTION TREATMENT EASY SIMPLE CHEAP. A LOT OF THE INDUSTRY IS HAS DEVOLVED BECAUSE OF. BECAUSE OF A VARIETY OF FACTORS INTO ALMOST A PREDATORY OF THE ADDICTION TREATMENT INDUSTRY. AND I'VE SEEN HOW IT WORKS. OTHER COUNTRIES. I'VE SEEN THESE BEAUTIFUL MODEL THAT THEY HAVEN'T ITALY CALLED SENT. PATRICK, I KNOW I'M THERE ARE A I 2000 KIDS. WHO WORK ON ON A LARGE FARM AND HEALING GROVE BEAUTIFUL MODEL. IT'S GOOD. AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO BUILD OR AND YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO. AS PRESIDENT. I WOULD I WOULD DECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA. I WILL MAKE SAFE BANKING LAWS FOR PEOPLE ARE SELLING IT. BUT I WILL TAX AND FEDERALLY. I WILL USE THAT MONEY TO BUILD THESE HEALING CENTERS ARE LARRY'S DEPRESSED, RURAL AREAS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. ARE KIDS WELL ORGANIC FOOD HE COULD EAT WELL, HE'LL THEMSELVES SPIRITUALLY PHYSICALLY AND I'M AN EMOTIONAL PLEA. AND NOT ONLY FOR FENTANYL BUT ALSO FOR THE MANY, MANY KIDS WHO ARE NOW STUCK ON SS OUR EYES AND OUR SUFFERING OTHER FORMS OF DEPRESSION. WE NEED TO START HEALING OUR COUNTRY, OUR COUNTRY, YOU KNOW, AS A FORM OF KIND OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION SPEAR ONLY EMOTIONALLY. WE NEED TO START HEALING OURSELVES AND WE NEED TO WE NEED TO BE COMPASSIONATE. WE NEED TO BE PRACTICAL ABOUT IT AND WE NEED YOU TO MAKE THAT A PRIORITY. WE NEED TO RECOVER OUR CHILDREN. WE ARE ALL ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS. LOST A DAUGHTER 3 DAYS AGO. I LOST AN EAST. ALL OVERDOSE DURING THE PANDEMIC. YOU KNOW, I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE I LOST 2 OF MY BROTHERS. I KNOW WHAT THE SUFFERING THAT AMERICAN FAMILIES ARE ENDURING AND IT IS A HIGH PRIORITY TO MAY AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT FOR ME, THIS COULD BE MY PEACE CORPS PROGRAM. HAD THE PEACE CORPS. I'M GONNA BUILD THESE REHAB CENTERS, ALL OF THE COUNTRY THESE FARMS, HEALING, HEALING CAMPS WHERE PEOPLE CAN OR MERRICK AND CHILDREN. YOU CAN GO AND FIND THEMSELVES AGAIN AND COME BACK BECOME CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS ARE AS I AM AND STOP THE MAYHEM AND THAT AND THE CARNAGE. SO IS IT GOING TO BE SOMETHING LIKE LONG-TERM RECOVERY BEING THERE AND WELL, YOU KNOW, CENTER 100 NANO IS IS IT GOING TO BE FEDERALLY. >> BINANCE. YEAH. WHOSE LIKE I SAID, I'M GOING TO DECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA SEVERAL BASES ALLOW THE STATES TO REGULATE IT. >> CONTINUED ATTACKS AND FEDERALLY AND USE TAXES TO FUND THAT RECOVERY PROGRAMS. AND I WOULD DO THE SAME THING FOR. PSYCHEDELIC DRUGS, WHICH I DO NOT THINK SHOULD BE CRIMINAL AS LEGALIZE PSYCHEDELIC. I WOULD I WOULD LEGALIZE PSYCHEDELIC AND, YOU KNOW, I SOME FORM OF LEGALIZATION STATION. YOU KNOW, THERE'S SO MUCH I I KNOW PERSONALLY. AND I KNOW YOU KNOW, I'VE READ THE AND THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE BEING HELPED IN DIFFERENT WAYS BY WE HAVE TO MAKE IT EASIER TO PRESCRIBE THEM. GIVE SOME THROUGH THERAPEUTICALLY. I DON'T KNOW. I JUST FIND THEM IN STORES. I HAVE TO LOOK AT ALL IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, WE WE NEED TO MAKE IT EASY. FOR PEOPLE TO USE IN WAYS THAT COULD BENEFIT OUR CHILDREN AND COULD BENEFIT I'VE SEEN IT IN MY OWN FAMILY. THE BENEFITS OF IT. I YOU KNOW, I'M NOT LOOK. I'VE BEEN RECOVERY FOR 40 YEARS. I'M A WOULD NEVER TELL YOU AT THE ANSWER IS A DRUG. I I'M A PERSON WHO SAYS, YOU KNOW, YOU NEVER CAN FIX WHAT'S ON INSIDE. YOU KNOW. WITH SOMETHING OUTSIDE OF YOU WITH A SUBSTANCE, A POWDER UP OR UP HELP IT DOESN'T WORK. BUT I HAVE SEEN AGAINST EVERYTHING THAT BUT AGAINST ALL OF MY, YOU KNOW, TRAINING AND NATION THAT AREA. I'VE SEEN MIRACULOUS RECOVERY IS FROM PSYCHEDELIC DRUGS, FROM PTSD, FROM FROM VETERANS WHO HAVE A HAVE USED AT FROM PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED SEVERE DEPRESSION OCD. YOU KNOW, MANY, MANY OTHER EYE INJURIES AND. I'M NOT SAYING BLANKET LEGALIZATION, BUT WE NEED TO MAKE IT EASY FOR PSYCHIATRY WHO WHO ARE TRAINED TO BE ABLE TO USE ON THEIR PATIENTS AND YOU KNOW, AND SEE IF WE IF AN EXPERIMENT TO SEE IF WE GET GOOD RESULTS. WE KNOW THAT NEARLY 90% OF PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY WHO NEED HELP WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER DON'T LARGELY BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT OR THEY CAN'T FIND IT OR THEY'RE TOO AFRAID TO ASK FOR IT. THERE'S ENORMOUS STIGMA, WHICH IS A HUGE ISSUE WHEN PEOPLE ABOUT PEOPLE SEEKING HELP AND GETTING HELP IN FINDING HELP. >> IN MONTHS. WE'VE HEARD A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SON OF THE MAN YOU'RE RUNNING AGAINST HUNTER BIDEN. AND I'M NOT ASKING ABOUT THE QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING HE MIGHT HAVE DONE THAT WAS ILLEGAL. ANY CRIMES HE MAY HAVE COMMITTED. BUT I'M TALKING MORE ABOUT THE WAY HIS ADDICTION HAS BEEN HANDLED IN THE PUBLIC DIALOGUE. THE FACT THAT HE'S ALMOST ALWAYS LABELED AS AND I'M GOING TO DO IT MYSELF BY ASKING THIS QUESTION. A CRACK HEAD. AS A PERSON AND LONG-TERM RECOVERY AS A MEMBER OF THE STORIED POLITICAL FAMILY. I'M CURIOUS. AND SOMEBODY WHO FEELS PASSIONATELY ABOUT RECOVERY AND AND CHIPPING AWAY. I'M ASSUMING AT THE STIGMA SURROUNDING SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER AND ADDICTION. WHAT YOU MAKE OF THE WAY HIS ADDICTION HAS BEEN BANDIED ABOUT. >> WELL, I'M NOT GOING I'M NOT COMPOUND PROBLEMS AT ITS BITE. YEAH. I SITTING IN JUDGMENT. MEAN, PEOPLE HAVE A SECTION PROBLEM. I'M NOT I I'VE NEVER MET 100 BY I'M NOT GOING TO, YOU KNOW, PUT A JUDGMENT. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM. END. THE AND THE PRESS, YOU KNOW, ADDICTION IS A TRAGEDY AND AND IT'S IT'S IT WAS CUNNING IT'S INCOMPREHENSIBLE IT'S BAFFLING AND AND IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO US YOU KNOW, I I WISH HIM AND HIS FAMILY. THE BEST. OH, GOD BLESS HIM. AND I HOPE. HE FINDS A ROAD TO RECOVERY. THAT'S ALL. BUT DO YOU WISH THAT PERHAPS THAT THAT WASN'T BECOMING A IN IT IN SOME QUARTERS. WHAT'S PERCEIVED AS A POLITICAL WEAPON. >> IT'S YOU KNOW, YOU CAN CALL FOR INVESTIGATIONS UNTIL THE COWS COME HOME. BUT TO CONTINUALLY LABEL AND REMIND EVERYBODY THAT HE WAS ONCE ADDICTED TO DRUGS LIKE HAVING THAT DRAGGED OUT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I'M FOR DE-ESCALATING. ALL OF THAT POISON AND THE HATRED AND SO, YOU KNOW. WHOEVER IT IS, WHETHER IT'S PRESIDENT TRUMP OR PRESIDENT BIDEN. YOU WON'T HEAR ME SAYING LIKE BAD THINGS ABOUT PRESIDENT BIDEN. I LIKE PRESIDENT KNOWN HIM FOR. >> PROBABLY 40 YEARS AND THIS CAMPAIGN IS NOT, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT ABOUT CRITICIZING HIM. AND I TRIED NOT TO DO THAT. IF THERE'S A POLICY I DISAGREE WITH LIKE THE WA ARE LIKE CENSORSHIP LIKE THAT. HOW LOCKDOWNS. I'M GOING TO CRITICIZE I'M NOT GOING ATTACK HIM AS A MAN. I'M NOT GOING ATTACK PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE WE'VE HAD ENOUGH THAT WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO START TALKING TO EACH OTHER AND TO START HEALING EACH OTHER AND STOP, YOU KNOW, JUST HATING ON EACH OTHER THIS ALL ARE AS A NATION, AS MORE DANGEROUS. SO IT'S BEEN IN THIS COUNTRY SINCE THE CIVIL WAR AND WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT A WAYS TO START TALKING TO AMERICANS WITH WE DISAGREE. >> ALL RIGHT. WELL, THERE ARE MANY DEMOCRATS WHO DISAGREE WITH YOU ON THE SUBJECT OF VACCINES. SO COMING UP, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE SOME QUESTIONS FROM OUR AUDIENCE ABOUT CHILDHOOD VACCINES AND YOUR POSITIONS WHEN WE RETURN. JUST >> WELCOME BACK TO OUR TOWN HALL WITH ROBERT F KENNEDY JUNIOR AND MISTER KENNEDY, ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING YOUR CANDIDACY IS YOUR STANCE ON CHILDHOOD VACCINES. >> NEARLY EVERY SCIENTIFIC AND MEDICAL ORGANIZATION INCLUDING THE CDC, THE FDA, THE AMA, THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS ALL SAY YOU'RE WRONG ON THIS ISSUE. >> THIS LEADS US TO OUR VERY FIRST QUESTION FROM AUDIENCE. IT'S DOCTOR TO WREAK. BUT WHO SPECIALIZE 1 THING AND WHAT ISSUE. >> I'M CHILDHOOD VACCINES ABOUT THEM AND WHETHER THEY EVER CAUSE AUTISM OR DAMAGE KIDS. THEY ALL SAY THESE VACCINES ARE HAD IT'S. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY SAID THEY NEVER HAVE. THERE MIGHT BE A CHILD HERE. BUT OVER ALL OF THOSE ORGANIZATIONS SAY VACCINES ARE SAFE AND HAVE SAVED MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF LIVES. AND LET'S GET TO OUR AUDIENCE QUESTION FROM DOCTOR ABOUT THE DOG IN EDUCATION OF CHICKEN POX AND PULL YOU FROM THE U.S. IN MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD. >> IS A DIRECT RESULT OF REGULAR VACCINES MEASLES, MUMPS RUBELLA AND MANY DISEASES ARE PREVENTABLE AND THERE'S TO NO EVIDENCE OF THESE DISEASES. UNVACCINATED POPULATION. YOUR VACCINE. THE STANCE IS DANGEROUS TO THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF MILLIONS MEDICAL EXPERTS DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR MESSAGE. HOW CAN BE HELP YOU TO COME TO THE SITE OF SCIENCE. >> I WAS GOING QUESTION HOW CAN YOU MAY COME TO MY SENSES YOU HAVE A SMILE FOR OKAY. SO, YOU KNOW, I I THINK MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT MY VACCINES. I'VE NEVER BEEN ANY VACCINE. AND I'VE SAID THAT HUNDREDS 100'S OF TIMES DOESN'T MATTER. BECAUSE THAT IS A WAY OF SILENCING 8 USING PEJORATIVE TO DESCRIBE HIS WAY OF SILENCING OR MARGINALIZE IN MAY. MY POSITION ON VACCINES I THINK IS IT. I THINK VIRTUALLY EVERY AMERICAN WOULD AGREE. WITH MY STANCE ON VACCINES, WHICH IS THAT VACCINE SHOULD BE TESTED LIKE OTHER MEDICINES. IT SHOULD BE A SAFETY TEST. AND UNFORTUNATELY VACCINES ARE NOT SAFETY TESTED OR NOT. THERE'S AND THAT OF THE 72 VACCINE DOSES OUT MANDATED ESSENTIALLY MANDATED RECOMMENDED, BUT THEY REALLY MANDATED. AMERICAN CHILDREN. NONE OF THEM HAS EVER BEEN SUBJECT TO A PRE LICENSING PLACEBO-CONTROLLED TRIAL. YES, THEY HAVE NO. YEAH. THEY HAVE. OKAY. JUST SAY SOMETHING. DOCTOR FAUCI AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE FOR MANY YEARS SAID THIS AT LEE COUNTY, WHAT HE SAYS IS WRONG. SO I MET WITH DOCTOR IN 2016 IN ALL. I AGREE TRUMP'S VACCINE SAFETY COMMISSION. AND I WAS WAS AARON SYRIAN. IN REDWOOD AND NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE. AND WE SAID TO HIM, CAN YOU SHOW US ONE TEST FOR MANY VACCINE. THE LICENSING SAFETY TEST AND HE'S AT. I'LL SEND IT TO YOU CAN FIND 1 OUT. HE NEVER DID. SO WE SENT HIM. WE AND I SIT HHS. AND AFTER YEARS OF LITIGATION, STONEWALLING THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE A SINGLE SAFETY STUDY FOR ANY VACCINE THAT IS ON THE CHILDHOOD SKETCH. A PRE LICENSING SAFETY STUDY. ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO READ BAD CAN GO TO MY WHAT TO THE CHILDREN'S WEBSITE. AND YOU CAN READ HHS IS ADMISSION THAT A SINGLE ONE. HAS EVER BEEN SAFETY TESTED PRETTY LICENSING OUT. WHAT I'VE SAID IS OTHER MEDICINES ARE REQUIRED DO THAT. AND WE SHOULD HAVE TO DO THAT FOR VACCINES. IF I'M WRONG, SHOW ME THE TESTS. SHOW ME THE STUDY. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO BECAUSE THERE ARE THAT MEANS THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE. LONG TERM. RISKS ARE. THE RISK PROFILE OF THOSE PRODUCTS. AND I'LL GIVE WHAT YOU MENTIONED CHICKENPOX. CDC. WAS THINKING OF RECOMMENDING CHICKEN POX VACCINE MANDATE FOR CHILDREN. THEY DID A STUDY AND THE SCIENTISTS THEY HIRED TO DO THAT SITE WAS A SCIENTIST. GARY OLDMAN CONTRACT AND HE DID THE STUDY ISOLATED PLACE IN CALIFORNIA CALLED WHOLE OF VALLEY A LONG-TERM STUDY. AND WHAT THEY FIND IS IF YOU GIVE THE CHICKEN POX VACCINE MASK WITH CHICKEN POX. IT STOPS CHICKENPOX, BUT IT CAUSES SHINGLES EPIDEMICS LATER ON, 20 TIMES DEADLY AS CHICKEN POX. IF YOU GO SO WE'RE NOT. NEVERTHELESS, DESPITE THOSE STUDIES. WE MANDATED FOR AMERICAN CHILDREN. THIS COUNTRY IN EUROPE. THEY DON'T. IF YOU GO TO THE BRITISH NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE WEBSITE RIGHT NOW. YOU CAN READ ON THAT WHERE THEY SAY WE DO NOT RECOMMEND CHICKENPOX VACCINES BECAUSE IT CAUSES SHINGLES. MAKES LATER ON. AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM. YOU CAN'T JUST LOOK AT YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SAY THAT THIS PRODUCT IS GOING TO PREVENT THIS PARTICULAR BUT YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE LONG TERM. THE IMPACTS, YOU KNOW, VACCINES LIKE MEDICINES. HAVE INJURIES THAT VE LONG-TERM LONG DIAGNOSTIC HORIZON CENT AND PATIENT PERIODS. AND IF YOU DO NOT TOO LONG TERM STUDIES ON A PLACEBO CONTROLLED STUDIES. COMPARING VACCINATED POPULATION UNVACCINATED YOU WANT LET ME JUST GIVE YOU 1 QUICK EXAMPLE. THE MOST POPULAR VACCINE IN THE WORLD IS THE DTP VACCINE TOUGH AREA PROTESTS. WE WE'VE ADDED WE GOT RID OF IT IN THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSING INJURIES, BRAIN OR SEVERE BRAIN INJURY OR DEATH TO ONE IN EVERY 3 100 CHILDREN WE USE THAT IN THE 80'S. AND THAT'S WHY THERE WAS ALL THIS LITIGATION VACCINE COMPANIES THAT SHIP. IT HATED THE PASSAGE OF THE VACCINE AT THAT AND GAVE IMMUNITY FROM LIABILITY. BUT. IN EUROPE THEY DO USE IT IN THE AMERICA THEY DON'T USE IT. WE GIVE IT TO 161 MILLION AFRICAN CHILDREN BILL GATES. ICE, THE DANISH GOVERNMENT TO SUPPORT THAT PROGRAM AND SAID IT'S A 30 MILLION LIVES. AND HIS GOVERNMENT SAID SHOW US THE DATA HE WAS UNABLE TO. SO THEY WENT TO STUDIES AND THEY LOOKED AT 30 YEARS OF TTP DATA AND WHAT THEY FOUND SHOCKED THEM. ALL. THEY FOUND THE GIRLS WHO GOT THE DTP. WE'RE AT 10 TIMES THE RATE OF UNVACCINATED, BUT THEY WERE THINGS THAT NOBODY HAD EVER ASSOCIATED WITH THE VACCINE. THEY WERE TYING OF DIPS THEREOF OF. I MEAN, YOU KNOW PULMONARY DISEASE RESPIRATORY AND PNEUMONIA. AND NOBODY NOTICES FOR 30 YEARS. IT WAS THE FACT GIRLS AND NOT THE UNVACCINATED ARE DYING. AND WHAT HAPPENED IS GIRLS WERE NOT KIND OF DIP THEIR INTENDS TO PROTESTS THE VACCINE THEM AGAINST HOUSE. IT ALSO RUIN THEIR COMMUNIT SYSTEMS AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DEFEND THEMSELVES AGAINST OTHER JUST MINOR DISEASES THAT OTHER KIDS WHO HAD A HEART IN SYSTEMS. WE'RE ABLE TO FEND OFF. SO THAT'S WHY YOU NEED THESE LONG-TERM STUDIES. AND THAT'S WHY I'M WORRIED WE DON'T DO THAT HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. AND WE DO HAVE EVIDENCE OF THAT. LIKE CLINICAL TRIALS AND THE MICE TRY AND THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN. >> ASSOCIATION CAUSATION SOMEBODY CAN TAKE THE MEDICATION AND GET INVOLVED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU KNOW, THAT THAT IS ASSOCIATED, BUT IT WAS NOT CAUSED BY MEDICATION UNLESS WE GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. SO MEANTIME, THE SHOULD CONTINUE TO FIGURE OUT WAYS. DO YOU KNOW FOR THE SAFETY OF VACCINES, OF COURSE, AND MEDICAL COMMUNITY LOOKING FOR THAT. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE CAN BE CAN REALLY COME TO. AGREEMENT THAT VACCINES IMPORTANT TO PREVENT THOSE DISEASES IN A SMALL BOX WAS IN THE WORLD ALL AROUND THE WORLD. IT'S NOT THERE ANYMORE. SO IT IS EVIDENCE OF THAT. AND THERE'S DISEASES, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE PASS A VACCINE ACT. WHEN I WAS A KID THAT WAS ONLY 3 VACCINES. I WAS COMPLIANT. >> A ONE LEAP AS A VACCINE BACK IN MAY VACCINES. VERY, VERY VALUABLE AND ALL OF US. AND IT WAS A GOLD RUSH TO ADD A LOT OF NEW VACCINES THAT SCHEDULE. DISEASES THAT AREN'T EVEN CASUALLY CONTAGIOUS LIKE WROTE A VIRUS LIKE HEPATITIS B. WHY ARE WE GIVING HEPATITIS B VACCINE TO A ONE-DAY LITTLE CHILD HEPATITIS B. YOU KNOW, THAT THE MAJOR FACTORS FOR THE AD ARE OR IT'S ACTUALLY CHANCE BY NEEDLES. WHY WOULD YOU GIVE THAT TO ONE DAY ALL TRIAL DATE IS IT'S REALLY A PROFIT MOTIVE. NOW YOU'RE RIGHT. THE CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSATION BUT THE INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE. AS WE LOOK TO VACCINE SCHEDULE AND SAID 2011 REPORT. OVER 150 INJURIES THAT ARE LIKELY TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH VACCINES THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN STUDY. SO IT'S THE CDC'S RESPONSIBILITY TO DO STUDIES AND BEEN ORDERED AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN TO TO THEM AND THEY HAVE REFUSED. AND THAT'S WE NEED AN AGENCY. AND PUTTING PUBLIC HEALTH FIRST. AND NOT PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCT. YOU WOULD. IF YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE OPIOID CRISIS OPIOID CRISIS IS, YOU KNOW, STARTED WITH THE ARCTIC COLD OUT. NOW IT'S, YOU KNOW, FENTANYL. IF THE COMPANY THE SAME COMPANIES. GOT THE FDA LIE TO US ABOUT THE DITCH A BIT TOO. EVERY DOCTOR IN THIS COUNTRY ABOUT THE ADDICTIVE AS FOX. YOU'VE GOT GET A WHOLE GENERATION ADDICTED. THOSE ARE THE SAME COMPANIES THAT MAKE YOU KNOW, OTHER PRODUCTS. AND THE PHARMACEUTICAL, THE 4 COMPANIES THAT MAKE VACCINES COUNTRY PERKS OF A GLAXO AND PFIZER. HAVE PAID OVER 35 BILLION DOLLARS IN CRIMINAL PENALTIES OVER THE PAST DECADE FOR LYING TO DOCTORS FOR FALSIFYING SCIENCE FOR DEFRAUDING REGULATORS. AND WE NEED KNOW, WE NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON HIM. WE CAN'T JUST TRUST THEM. IF THEY SAY IT'S A VACCINE WE ALL TRUSTED. WE NEED TO HAVE ACTUAL SCIENCE ON IT. AND I THINK WHAT THAT'S ALL I SAY. I I DON'T WANT I DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF VACCINES. IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A VACCINE, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT. WE NEED GOOD SCIENCE. AND THAT'S ALL I'VE ASKED FOR THAT. SO IT IS. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO PEOPLE. I MEAN, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE SAYING THAT EVERY SCIENTIST, EVERY OUR GOVERNMENT GOVERNMENTS AROUND THE WORLD. DOCTORS LIKE DOCTOR, BUT ARE ALL LYING ABOUT. >> THAT. NEVER SAID ANYTHING LIKE THAT. BUT THAT IS IN THE AMERICAN PEDIATRICS. >> THEY ALL AND THE FDA SAYS AND IN FACT, ON ITS WEBSITE, YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE VACCINES. ARE THEY GO THROUGH 3 STAGES OF FDA TESTING AGAINST DOUBLE BLIND PLACEBO AS THEY ALREADY DO YOU YOU CAN SAY THAT. I'M TELLING I'M NOT SAYING THAT THE IS NOT SAYING ON THEIR WEBSITE. THEY HAVE NOT THEY WILL NOT TELL YOU THAT VACCINES HAVE THAT THERE'S ANY VACCINE. IT HAS EVER UNDERGONE A LONG-TERM TO SEE THE CONTROLLED TRIAL LICENSE OR THEY HAVE A LOT BECAUSE THAT'S NOT TRUE. AND THEY'VE YOU KNOW, YOU CAN GO TO MY WEBSITE TO SEE WHERE A CHANGE HAS AS THERE ARE >> KNOW. I'M NOT SAYING THE AIM LINED WITH A DOCTOR. SO I WHAT I'M SAYING IS THE FDA DOES LIE AND THE FDA LIED TO US ABOUT VIOXX. THEY KNEW THAT THE VIOXX WAS CAUSING HEART ATTACKS THEY LET. LET DOCTORS BELIEVE IT WAS ALL A MEDICINE THAT WAS A THAT WAS FISH OIL. OR HEADACHES AND ARTHRITIS WITHOUT TELLING THAT THEY WERE GOING TO KILL THEM AND THEY ENDED UP KILLING BETWEEN THESE DOCTORS AND ALL SCIENTISTS AROUND THE WORLD WHO SAY VACCINES ARE SAFE AND HAVE MILLIONS OF THE SAME PEOPLE SAID >> THE SAME PEOPLE SAT OPIOIDS AT IT CALLED ON WAS NOT ADDICTIVE BECAUSE FDA SAID IT AND THEY BELIEVE SOME. AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE A CORRUPT FEDERAL AGENCY. THAT'S AMA TO, YOU KNOW, TO ALL OF THOSE AGENCIES. AND ALL OF THE DOCTORS AND THEY BELIEVE IN. BUT THOSE AGENCIES ARE CONTROLLED BY FARM OUT. THAT IS THE PROBLEM. AND THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO AS PRESIDENT. YOU KNOW THAT YOUR OWN FAMILY DOESN'T SUPPORT MANY MEMBERS OF WE DON'T SUPPORT YOUR POSITION ON VACCINES. YOUR BROTHER, YOUR SISTER, YOUR NIECE HAVE ALL WRITTEN AN EDITORIAL SAYING ON VACCINES. BOBBY IS WRONG. HIS WORK ON VACCINES IS HAVING HEARTBREAKING CONSEQUENCES. >> WHAT'S YOUR RESPONSE, YOUR OWN FAMILY THINKS YOU'RE YOUR FAMILY AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THEY GET STAFF AND ONLY >> T OF OUR NEXT FROM KELLEN HERE IN CHICAGO. HIKE SIR. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. >> AS AN UNDECIDED DEMOCRATIC VOTER HAVE A FEW CONCERNS. AND I'D JUST TO YOUR YOUR THOUGHTS ON AN EASING. SOME OF THOSE CONCERNS. AND WE JUST HEARD ABOUT VACCINES THAT BEING ONE OF THEM. >> ANOTHER ONE THAT HAVE ATTRIBUTED A CONNECTION BETWEEN. A 5 G DATA AND IN QUOTES THAT WAS DESIGNED OR DID IT IS. IT WILL HARVEST OUR DATA AND CONTROL OUR BEHAVIOR AND AND THEN ALSO AND I YES, SIR. >> OKAY. MY CONCERNS ABOUT 5 G IS THAT. THE RF RADIATION 5 G IS DANGEROUS. IT PENETRATES THE IF IT DISRUPTS THE BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER AND ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH A ICED ON THIS AND OTHER CANCERS. AND CAUSE A LOT OF OTHER DRAMATIC HEALTH EFFECTS AND THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF THAT I'VE LITIGATED ON THAT ISSUE AND I'VE WON AND THE FEDERAL COURT OF APPEALS. SO, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SAY IT'S A CONSPIRACY THEORY. BUT THE FEDERAL COURT OF APPEALS. YOU KNOW, I ALSO 1, 1, A CASE ON MONSANTO AND GLYPHOSATE THAT CALLED NON-HODGKIN'S OUT WAS CAUGHT CALLED A CONSPIRACY THEORY. WHAT I'VE SAID ABOUT 5 G IS IT IT IS DANGEROUS. IT IS. IT IS UNDER REGULATED. OTHER COUNTRIES REGULATE A MUCH BETTER THAN US. AND WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN. WE SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ANTENNAS ON ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. WE SHOULD BE WARNING PEOPLE PROBABLY DO NOT PUT THAT CELL PHONE NEXT TO YOUR HEAD. YOU'VE GOT, YOU WHERE WE'RE SEEING THIS THOMAS. AND ALMOST ALL OF THEM ARE CONNECTED. THE YEAR. THE FAVORITE THE CELL PHONE. YOU KNOW, THEIR STUDY AFTER STUDY THAT SHOWS THAT I'M IN LITIGATION ON THAT ISSUE RIGHT NOW. AND YOU KNOW, IF WE GET A FAIR TRIAL, WE'RE GOING TO WIN THAT LITIGATION AS WELL. GET YOUR OWN LAWYER AND ACTIVIST. YOU'RE NOT A DOCTOR OR A SIGN THE LIST. >> LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY. WE DON'T HAVE A PRE STOOD HERE. WE DON'T HAVE HIGH PRIESTS OR TELLING US. WE'RE IN CHARGE OF OUR OWN LIVES AND AMERICANS NEED TO DO THEIR OWN RESEARCH. AND YOU KNOW, LISTEN, PEOPLE SAY TRUST THE EXPERTS THAT BECAME JUDGE AND COVID. I BROUGHT OVER 5 100 CASES. ALMOST ALL OF THEM INVOLVED SIDE OF THE CONTROVERSY. MY JOB IS TO READ SIGNS TO LEARN IT AND TO BE ABLE TO READ IT CRITICALLY. AND EVERY CASE I'VE EVER BROUGHT. THERE'S EXPERT ON THAT SIDE AND AN EXPERT ON THIS SIDE WHEN I BROUGHT THEM. WHEN WE BROUGHT THE MONSANTO CASE, IT WAS 3 EXPERTS FROM HARVARD STANFORD YALE. AND WE HAD EXPERTS FROM HARVARD AND THEY WERE SAYING EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE BANK. YOU KNOW, SAYING TRUST THE EXPERTS TO ME MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL THE TRUSTING THE EXPERTS IS A FUNCTION OF RELIGION. AND TOTALITARIANISM. IT IS NOT A FUNCTION OF DEMOCRACY DEMOCRACY. WE QUESTION EVERY WE HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS I WANT TO GET TO. BUT BEFORE WE DO, I WANT TO DIRECT VIEWERS OUR WEBSITE TO GO DEEPER ON THE SCIENCE OF VACCINES AS WELL AS MISTER KENNEDY'S POSITIONS ON EVERYTHING FROM IMMIGRATION TO FOREIGN POLICY. WE HAVE RESOURCES AVAILABLE FOR YOU ONLINE. >> AND ENCOURAGE YOU TO CHECK THEM OUT AT NEWS NATION. NOW DOT COM. ALL RIGHT. A BIG IT CHILDREN SELF-DEFENSE. >> AND YOU CAN FIND THE OTHER SIDE. EVEN ON GOVERNMENT SCIENCE. THAT OFTEN IS PAID FOR BY THE GOVERNMENT. BUT THEN THEY DENY DISAVOW AFTERWARDS. BUT YOU CAN ARE STUDIES. WE HAVE A LOT MORE QUESTIONS, A BIG ISSUE HERE IN CHICAGO AROUND THE COUNTRY IS GUN VIOLENCE AND WE HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU NOW FROM NECK HERE IN CHICAGO. >> SO ON MAY 30TH, LOST BEST FRIENDS CRISPY TO GUN VIOLENCE AND ALSO BEING A FOUNDER AND CEO OF A TECH COMPANY THAT KEEPS PEOPLE SAFE DURING MARKETPLACE TRANSACTIONS. I WANT TO KNOW LIKE HOW ARE YOU GOING TO FEDERAL RESOURCES TO SLOW AND ORRIN THE EPIDEMIC OF GUN VIOLENCE IN AMERICA. >> YEAH. THAT THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. AND SAY IT FOR ME. IT'S VERY TOUGH QUESTION. AND I I YOU KNOW, I LOST MY TO VIOLENCE. I LOST MY UNCLE AND VIOLENCE AND AND MANY FRIENDS. AND SO I'M I'M AWARE AND SENSITIVE TO INJURY THAT THAT CAN CAUSE GENERATIONS FROM WE HAVE A PROBLEM IN COUNTRY. WE HAVE A SUPREME COURT. HOW THAT HAS SAID HAS GIVEN A VERY EXPENSIVE FEEL OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT. I BELIEVE IN THE CONSTITUTION, INCLUDING THE SECOND AMENDMENT. AND PRACTICALLY, YOU KNOW, I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THERE IS WITHIN THAT SECOND AMENDMENT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE CAN MEANINGFULLY DO. TO REDUCE THE TRAINING, THE OWNERSHIP OF GUNS. AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE PEOPLE'S GUNS BECAUSE TELLING THE PEOPLE THAT I'M GONNA TAKE THEIR GUNS AWAY IS NOT PRACTICAL. IT'S ANYBODY WHO TELLS YOU. THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A REDUCED GUN VIOLENCE THROUGH GUN CONTROL AT THIS POINT. I DON'T THINK REALISTIC AND I THINK WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT OTHER WAYS THAT I THINK WE HAVE TO OUT. OTHER WAYS TO REDUCE THAT VIOLENCE AND WE NEED TO END. ULTIMATELY, MY HOPE IS THAT WE CAN BRING AMERICANS TOGETHER, GET THEM TO TRUST EACH OTHER, GET THEM TO TRUST THEIR GOVERNMENT AND THEN WE CAN WORK OUT. YOU KNOW, EVERY AMERICAN, WHETHER THERE. REPUBLICAN GUN CARRIER A DEMOCRAT WHO IS, YOU KNOW, WHO BELIEVES AND NOBODY SHOULD WE ALL WANT THE SAME THING, WHICH IS WE WANT TO KEEP OUR CHILDREN SAFE AND WANT TO KEEP OUR NEIGHBORHOODS SAFE. AND THERE I THINK WE HAVE TO LOOK AT WHAT THE ALTERNATIVES ARE FOR DOING THAT. AND YOU KNOW WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS I'VE TALKED ABOUT. WE WHAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE OTHER CAUSES OF VIOLENCE. ONE IS THE DIVISION AMONG AMERICANS WE NEED TO REDUCE THAT. THE DISTRUST OF GOVERNMENT NEED TO JUST THAT. WE ALSO NEED TO LOOK AT THE CONTRIBUTION, YOU KNOW, PARTICULARLY WITH THE SCHOOL SHOOTINGS OF SOME OF THESE PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS. AND YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SAYING THEY'RE I'M SAYING THERE IS EVIDENCE THEY ARE AND THAT EVIDENCE. WELL, PART OF THE EVIDENCE INCLUDES THE FACT THAT FOR AS OUR EYES. ALMOST ALL OF THEM. HAVE ON THEIR MANUFACTURERS INSERTS. THE A LIST OF SIDE EFFECTS OR HOMICIDAL AND SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR DOESN'T MEAN ANTIDEPRESSANTS CAUSED ANY OF THESE PEOPLE TO COMMIT MASS SHOOTINGS OR OF COURSE, IT'S A SNOW CAVE OUGHT TO BE LOOKING SCHENLEY. >> SHOULD WE BE LOOKING AT VIDEO GAMES. AND CELL AND SOME OF THE SOCIAL IN ALL OF SOCIAL MEDIA STUFF. WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT ALL THESE HE SAID, INCLUDING AS HAS OUR EYES. AND BY THE WAY, THERE ARE STUDIES OUT AS INDICATE A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF THE PEOPLE. LOOK AT END OF THE SCHOOL WE'RE THEY'RE ALSO LIKE 10'S 10'S OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ON ANTIDEPRESSANTS. YOU DON'T COMMIT MASS SHOOTING. OF COURSE, ARE PEOPLE SPOKE THE REST OF BUT SHOULD WE BE LEGIT. JEN, WHAT SHOULD WE BE LOOKING AT. THINGS. I MEAN, IT'S IT'S CLEAR. SOMETHING HAPPENED IN THIS COUNTRY. SOMETHING HAPPENED THAT WE CAN'T REALLY EXPLAIN THAT. WE NEED TO EXPLAIN AND NIH REALLY OUGHT TO BE EXPLAINING IT TO US, BUT IT DOESN'T DO THE STUDIES. IT WILL NOT DO THE WHERE. THERE MAY BE A BIG SHOT AS THE CULPRIT. WHY. YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS A KID. MANY OF THE SCHOOLS AT THAT. YOU KNOW, MY FRIENDS ATTENDED HAD GUN CLUBS AND. AND THE KIDS BROUGHT THE RIGHT SCHOOL EVERY DAY. AND NOBODY WAS SHOOTING CHILDREN. NOT. AND IN ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY. YOU KNOW, ALL OF THE NATIONS IN THE WORLD. THERE'S NEVER BEEN A TIME. WHEN PEOPLE RANDOMLY WENT INTO GROUP OF CHILDREN START SHOOTING. WHY DID THIS SUDDENLY START. WHY IS IT NOT HAPPENING IN SWITZERLAND, WHICH HAS, YOU A COMPARABLE NUMBER OF PER CAPITA THAT WE HAVE ONLY A FAR BUT THEY HAVE A LOT OF GUNS AND THEIR LAST SCHOOL SHOOTING WAS 21 YEARS AGO. WE'RE EVERY 21 HOURS WE HAVE FEW MORE QUESTIONS. WANT TO GET TO. BUT VERY QUICKLY IN AN INTENSE BATTLE. WE HAVE THAT. WE SHOULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THAT ISSUE. >> I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE RUNNING FOR THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION AND 77% OF DEMOCRATS SUPPORT AN ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN. DO YOU NOT SUPPORT AN ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN. IF WE CAN GET A CONSENSUS ON REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS AGREED TO IT AND IT PASSED CONGRESS. I WOULD SIGN IT. >> ARE GOING TAKE A QUICK THE LGTBQ MOVEMENT HAS A QUESTION ON WHERE WHERE DEMOCRATS STAND AND WHERE MISTER KENNEDY STANDS WILL HAVE THAT QUESTION >> WELCOME BACK. WE HAVE A VARIETY OF TOPICS WHO WANT TO GET TO IN A VARIETY OF QUESTIONS ARE LAST FEW MINUTES FROM OUR AUDIENCE WERE GOING TO START WITH JAMES FROM CHARLESTON. HE'S A CEO OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA CONSULTING FIRM WAS A QUESTION ABOUT THE LGBTQ HELPED JAMES. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WAS MISTER KENNEDY HAVE A QUESTION YOU RECENTLY AGREED AND THEN WITHDREW THAT AGREEMENT SPEAK BEFORE A GROUP NAMED THE MOMS FOR LIBERTY. THEY ARE A RIGHT-WING GROUP THAT WOULD LIKE TO TELL OTHER PARENTS HOW TO DO THEIR OWN CHILDREN. BUT YOU AGREED TO DO THAT. YOU HAVE MENTIONED AND YOUR FATHER, BUT YOU'RE NOT MENTIONED TED KENNEDY WHO I WORK WITH THE UNITED STATES SENATE FOR 6 YEARS AND HIS STAFF ON THESE ISSUES. THERE WAS NO BIGGER AMPION ARE STALWART FOR LGBTQ EQUALITY THAN TED KENNEDY, THE LATE TED KENNEDY. AND YOU KNOW, THAT. EXPLAIN TO ME WHY AS A DEMOCRATIC VOTER I SHOULD EVER SUPPORT YOU IN A PRIMARY AGAINST ANY OTHER DEMOCRAT WHEN YOU AGREED TO SPEAK BEFORE A GROUP THAT WANTS TO BAN MY MARRIAGE AND TELL OTHER CHILDREN UP TO OTHER PARENTS HOW TO TREAT THEIR CHILDREN. >> I DIDN'T SPEAK FOR AND I I. WHEN I WHEN. SOMEBODY ON MY STAFF ACCEPTED THAT INVITATION. I WAS UNAWARE OF IT. >> AND I WAS I NEED TO INTERRUPT YOU ONE SECOND AS A CONGRESSIONAL FORMER CONGRESSIONAL STAFFER. IF SOMEBODY WHO'S ELECTED BLAINE STAFF. THAT'S THE WRONG ANSWER. YOU HAVE TO TAKE A PASS UNTIL AFTER AGREEING TO SPEAK BEFORE THOSE GROUPS. >> YOU KNOW, I'M IN AND THE BEGINNING OF THE CAMPAIGN. I HAVE KNOWS NO LONG-TERM STAFF. WE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO EVEN. I RAISE MONEY UNTIL APRIL 5TH. I'M SCALING A CAMPAIGN VERY, VERY QUICKLY AND I ACCEPT A LOT OF INVITATIONS WITHOUT THE CAPACITY TO LOOK INTO WHAT I KNOW. TEDDY 86 MEMBERS ON ITS STAFF. BUT WHEN YOU KNOW, MEMBER OF MY STAFF THROUGH FAULT OF HER OWN. I ACCEPTED THAT. I WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT I WAS THEIR POSITION. I I DECLINED TO GO OUT. I THERE'S NOBODY. THERE WILL BE NOBODY IN OVAL OFFICE. WHO IS SUPPORT OF LGBTQ TO RIGHT. AND I AM. I YOU KNOW, I WAS WITH TEDDY CAMPAIGNING CASTRO IN 1980 WITH THAT. I WAS THE FIRST POLITICAL CAMP PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN THAT EVER RECORDED THE VOTE TO I I IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME. IT'S A CIVIL RIGHTS. AS IMPORTANT AS A CIVIL RIGHTS AND THE OTHER GROUP, THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS. MY FAMILY HAS STOOD FOR HAS FOUGHT FOR IT. I WOULD DO THIS I I I MADE A MISTAKE BY ACCEPTING THAT INVITATION AND WHEN I FOUND OUT THOSE POSITIONS, I DID NOT SHOW UP. >> WOULD YOU DENOUNCE WHAT THEY STAND FOR. THAT'S MY QUESTION. IT'S HIS MONEY. WOULD YOU WOULD YOU DENOUNCE WHAT THEY STAND FOR. MOMS FOR. LIBERTY IS TRYING YOU KNOW, I'M NOT GOING ISSUE A DENUNCIATION. I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW. I DON'T AGREE WITH ANYBODY WHO SAYS THAT WE SHOULDN'T RESPECT RIGHTS. YOU KNOW, OR OR ANYBODY ELSE'S RIGHTS. IT'S THAT IF YOU'RE AN AMERICAN. YOU HAVE YOU HAVE THOSE RIGHTS AND EVERYBODY SHOULD RESPECT THEM. AND YOU KNOW, I I'M GOING TO DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE THOSE ARE PROTECTED. I ALWAYS HAVE MY WHOLE LIFE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE FROM HELEN WHO IS A RETIRED PATIENT CARE REPRESENTATIVE FOR A PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY. >> SHE IS IN MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE. HELEN. I THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. AS PRESIDENT. WHAT STRATEGY WOULD YOU EMPLOY TO ADDRESS CHINA'S RECENT ONGOING NEGOTIATIONS WITH HAVANA ABOUT SETTING UP A JOINT MILITARY TRAINING FACILITY IN CUBA. >> WHAT I WILL DO AS PRESIDENT. IT'S TENSIONS WITH CHINA. UNDERSTAND. YOU KNOW, WHAT MIGHT AND WHEN THE RUSSIANS WANT TO DO, BUT THEY WANT IT TO ITS WITH THEIR WITH THEIR MISSILE SYSTEMS. HE WENT THERE BECAUSE WE PUT THE SYSTEMS IN TURKEY AND ITALY. AS I SAID BEFORE. WE KNOW ARE PUTTING BASES AND SHIPS IN THE SOUTH CHINA WE REALLY AND AND WE'RE ESCALATING TENSIONS EVERY DAY WITH THE CHINESE. THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE ECONOMY IN THE WHITE HOUSE WHO WANT A WAR WITH CHINA. AND I BELIEVE THAT CHINA WANTS TO DOMINATE THE I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THEY WANT A WAR WITH UNITED STATES. WE 10 TIME WE SPEND MORE ON OUR MILITARY THAN THE NEXT 10 NATIONS COMBINED. WE SPENT 3 TIMES WITH CHINA SPENDS. WE HAVE 800 BASES AROUND THE WORLD. CHINA HAS ONE AND A HALF. I DON'T THINK CHINA CHINA WANTS TO COMPETE WITH US. I DON'T WANT TO COMPETE AND ECONOMIC PLAY ON ECONOMIC PLAYING FIELD I'M NOT FRIGHTENED OF THAT. I'M I DON'T THINK THAT WE CAN DO IT AS LONG AS WE'RE SPENDING. 1 0.3 TRILLION ON MILITARY AND NATIONAL SECURITY EXPENSES EVERY YEAR. I DON'T THINK WE CAN COMPETE GLOBALLY ECONOMICALLY. I THINK WE OUGHT TO D AS COLLATE. WE OUGHT UNRAVEL THE EMPIRE AND WE OUGHT TO BRING THAT MONEY HOME INVESTING IN OUR INDUSTRIAL BASE HOME. INVEST IN OUR MIDDLE CLASS. INVESTING AND BUSINESS. SAW THEY ALWAYS SAID. AND POWER OF THE NATION IS NOT IN ITS MILITARY, ITS IN ITS ECONOMY AND WE NEED TO BUILD A ROBUST ECONOMY AND THEN WE NEED TO PROJECT ECONOMIC POWER, NOT MILITARY POWER ABROAD. AND I THINK WHEN WE START DOING THAT, THE CHINESE WILL ALSO DE-ESCALATE THE CHINA SHE HAS. >> YOU INCREASE THAT INCREASINGLY SEEN AS MILITARISTIC BY PEOPLE WHO ARE CHINA WATCHERS AND THE MILITARY BUDGET IN CHINA HAS INCREASED STEADILY OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS. IT DOESN'T. IT'S TO ACT OBVIOUSLY BY THE AMERICAN MILITARY BUDGET. BUT BUT MANY PEOPLE FEEL LIKE HE IS MORE MILITARISTIC. WE SPENT WE SPENT 3 TIMES ON OUR MILITARY, MILITARY BUDGET IS 3 TIMES WHAT CHINA SAYS. >> I THINK CHINA, CHINA, YOU KNOW, CHINA CHINA HAS THAT'S NOT CHINA IS A POOR COUNTRY NEXT. UNITED STATES. THEY HAVE THEIR EYE AVERAGE INCOME PER CAPITA INCOME IS ABOUT. A 3RD OF OURS. THEY WANT TO BUILD THEIR MIDDLE CLASS. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT. I THINK THEY DO NOT WANT WAR WITH TAIWAN. THEY DON'T WANT WORLD WAR 3. IF THEY DON'T WANT TO FIGHT THE UNITED STATES WHERE THEY DO WANT TO COMPETE WITH US ECONOMICALLY AND I WELCOME THAT KIND OF COMPETITION. I THINK IT WILL BE GOOD FOR OUR COUNTRY TO BE GOOD FOR CHINA. IT WILL BE GOOD FOR THE WORLD. AND LET ME JUST TELL YOU SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD ALL BE THINKING ABOUT. WE'RE ON THE VERGE OF A NEW ERA I WAS AI TECHNOLOGY. HUGE AND IT IS THE MOST FRIGHTENING. DO YOU KNOW WHERE ELON MUSK A COUPLE OF WHEN I FIRST STARTED TAKING NOTICE OF THEM. HE AI IS GOING AT FIRST TAKE OUR JOBS AND IT'S GOING TO KILL US. AND HE WASN'T USING HYPERBOLE. THE AI. IT HAS THE CAPACITY TO DO TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE ALL OF US. THE ONLY WAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO PREVENT THAT IS BY BRINGING ALL ARTIST AI PEOPLE IN THE WORLD INTO ONE PLACE AND NEGOTIATING TREATIES. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO BE A WITH RUSSIA WITH CHINA, WITH IRAN. WE NEED TO BE FIGURING OUT WAYS. TREATIES THAT MAKES I DEVELOPED AND HAVE STANDARDS THAT TRANSPARENT THAT ARE ENFORCEABLE THAT WE ALL AGREE ON AND AND AND WE'RE NEVER GOING TO DO THAT. AND WE HAVE MILITARY TENSIONS WITH THESE PATIENTS. WE NEED TO BE WORKING TOGEER RIGHT NOW. YOU KNOW, THE AND ITS EXISTENTIAL FOR YOU KNOW, I WOULD I THINK. IT'S CRAZY FOR US TO CONTINUE TO MEET EVERY PROBLEM WITH A MILITARY SOLUTION COURSE. WHEN YOU DO THAT, IT'S A SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY. WHEN YOU MAKE RUSSIA OR CHINA MILITARY ENEMY. IT FORCES THEM TO RESPOND MILITARILY DO IS WHEN AS WE DE-ESCALATE, WE'LL SEE WHETHER THEY FOLLOW US. AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO DO. IT. >> ALL RIGHT. OUR FINAL QUESTION IS FROM DENNIS WHO IS NOW RETIRED AFTER A CAREER WITH A FORTUNE 5 100 COMPANIES HERE IN CHICAGO. I YOU. >> FIRST. LIKE TO MAKE APPLAUD YOU FOR YOUR COURAGE OF YOUR LEASE. I REALLY FIND IT VERY ADMIRABLE. SO THANK YOU. MY QUESTION IS GIVEN THE POLARIZED STATE OF POLITICAL BELIEFS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. WHAT ARE 3 THINGS YOU WILL FIRST 100 DAYS OF YOUR ADMINISTRATION TO UNITE THIS COUNTRY. >> I'M THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS I DO DURING THE FIRST 3 MONTHS. BUT THE MAJOR THING I'M GOING REGULAR IS ABOUT TELLING THE TRUTH TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ABOUT EVERYTHING. AND HAVING THE AGENCY'S TELL THE TRUTH TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. BECAUSE. THE DIVISION IN THIS COUNTRY. I BELIEVE THE REAL KEY TO THE DIVISION IS THAT WE'RE BEING LIED TO WHAT I WAS A KID. EVERYBODY TRUSTS THE GOVERNMENT. WHY? BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT WAS TELLING US TRUTH. IN FACT, THE FIRST TIME THAT THE GOVERNMENT WE EVER COME TO COME IN AND THE LAW I WAS IN 1968 WHEN THE U 2 WENT ON IN RUSSIA. THE CIA IS YOU TO 1 TOWN. AND ALLAN DOLLARS. PERSUADED EYES OUT THERE TO LIE ABOUT IT. AND HE DID BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE RUSSIANS PART OF THE PILOT AND NOT USED TO SUICIDE DEVICE AND THAT RUSSIANS HAD CAPTION. SO THEY WERE WAITING FOR US TO LIE AND THEN THEY WHEN THAT HAPPENED, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SAID, OH, MY GOD, GOVERNMENT WHY TO AMERICANS COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT HAPPENED. AND NOW GOVERNMENT LIES TO EVERYBODY EXPECTS GOVERNMENT ALLY 20% OF 80% OF AMERICANS BELIEVE THEIR GOVERNMENT AND. THEY LESS THAN 20% AND 20% BELIEVE THE PRESS BECAUSE THE PRESS DO. THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GOING TO START HEALING THIS COUNTRY IS THE GOVERNMENT STARTS TELLING THE TRUTH. AND THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I CAN AGREE WITH OF YOU. I'M GOING TO DEFER YOU AS YOU ON MANY, MANY POLICIES. ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS I AM THE ONE PRESIDENT IS GOING TO GET UP THERE. AND I PROMISE YOU THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO TELL THE TRUTH. I'M GOING TO THAT ACTUAL SECURITY ORDERS. I'M GOING TO DO IT EXECUTIVE ORDERS. I'M GOING TO DO IT SAMPLE. AND I'M GOING TO I YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO MAKE THESE AGENCIES START TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT EVERYTHING AND AGAIN, YOU MAY NOT AGREE WITH ME ON SOME OF MY POLICIES. BUT YOU KNOW, OUR COUNTRY IS GOING TO START HEALING. WHEN THE GOVERNMENT STARTS TELLING THE TRUTH. >> THANK TONIGHT. AND THANK YOU ALL TO OUR AUDIENCE.
