• 3:22
  Speaker 2: of people here for RFK obviously, but you're gonna hear it.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: This is a bit of a therapy session as well
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: for me because last couple of days do we've been
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: we flew to Detroit. From Detroit, flew to Houston. From Houston,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: flew back to Nashville's you know, up late, up early
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: type of things, burning the candle up, both ends in
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: the sense of not getting a whole lot of sleep.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: So we are sitting in Houston, so ready to be home.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: So excited, so exciting. Like you said, we're landing every
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: night at probably midnight in the hotel, waking up early.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll just say six, even though it's probably like, yeah,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: we got four thirty before, right around the time, and
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: I always wake up before to just to compete with
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: Jocko Willie.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah I have to, Yeah, I have to. Someone's got
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: to take that man down. You're the man to do it.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: So you can imagine I'm a little bit tired at
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: this point. I get to the BNA, which is the
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Nashville Airport valets, and this guy sitting in front of me,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I say, hey, listen, I lost my ticket, But in
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: my head, I've lost my ticket a dozen times. It's
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: not been a big deal ever.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Oh really, no, I've done it before and I will
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: never do it again.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, because that must have been what happened to me. Yeah,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: because I'm talking to a lady. She's like, hey, unless
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: like your the registration matches your address or the name
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: on it where we're not gonna be able to give
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: you the vehicle. And I'm like, all good, bring it up.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I have the registration. It's under one of my LLCs,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: but I have the same address on it. It should be
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: no problem. She was fine. The guy behind her, who
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: thought he was literally the king of all valets to
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: ever rule valets, goes, we're not giving you the vehicle.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: He allows me to go in the vehicle. I pull
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: out a sign that you go get my cars my
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: kids for pickup, says Lawan. On it. My card, says Lawan.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: My license says Lawan. I pull out the registration same
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: address as my my driver's license, and he's just not
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: having it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: And I to the point, what do you mean he's
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: not having one?
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: He will not let me take the vehicle.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: Why would he not be like, okay, this all makes sense.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: You you you will get him on the bus and
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: ask him, okay, because I go, I go, I go, Bro.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I literally I have the app on my phone. It's
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: a test. That's my wife's car. I can just watch.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I turned the horn on in the horn honk.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: And what is his response.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: He's like, sorry, unless you have unless your name on
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the registration is the same. I was like, my name
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: is not No Bad Days. What do you mean it's
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: no one's name is No Bad Days. And he like
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: he's he's giving me a hard time, blah blah blah,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: And I go, bro, are you fucking serious that that loud?
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: Bro?
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Are you fucking serious?
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: It's yes, and listen, it's not like a tailor move,
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: like you can tell when he's mad, but it's never direct.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: Are you fucking serious?
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: And especially in public? And the thing too, And dude,

  Speaker 2: the back that work for him that are kind of
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: like being for the boy. But I'm not the only

• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna face some of my wife. I'm like, dude,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: he won't just let me go. And I told him.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I was like, what if I just get in my
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: car and leave. He goes, we'll impound the car. Is like,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I'll just get in the car and leave then, Like
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I have the app. He's like, we won't give you

  Speaker 2: the keys. Like I have the app. He looks at
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: his boy and.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: It's a Tesla.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Bro, I don't need the key. He looks at his
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: boy and goes park it. His boy scurries out the
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: door and goes in parks the car pulls it and
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: you see him like you know how, It's like there's lanes.
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: He goes the farthest lane away and I see the
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: cars like a damn near half a mile at this point,
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: it is so far away.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, bro, I am fuming. His manager comes down,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: and his manager and him were aligned on hating me.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: It was some small little girl and she was I

  Speaker 2: shrugs his shoulders. He's like, hey for the boys, and
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, can you let's go? And I'm
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: like telling him, like, bro, I am pretty upset right now,

• 7:25
  Speaker 2: just to get the vehicle.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Oh dude, that is so.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: And I'm my head. I'm like, I'm not tipping nothing.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: But this little dude went back and forth like four times.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: So I threw him a little cash. I handed him
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: a little cash, but I didn't want to make sure
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: it wasn't on the car because I don't know if
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: they're dipping those tips up. I want him specifically to
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: have that money.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: That's what I was going to ask you about. Like
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: the lady. They had two. They had two of them going.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: So if you're walking this way, not the lady here,

• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah I was. I was first window.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: Gotch.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I didn't take the extra three steps.

  Speaker 5: I went extra three steps because somebody was in line.
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: But she went to they went to get the truck
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: and and I don't think I said anything. That's why
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: I feel like I was. That's why I feel like
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: I got hustled. And I was curious what happened with you?
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: But she goes, uh, you said you want to tip ten?
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: And so I just said yes. And then I was like,
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: I think she just fucking got me.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I would Karen, I really love and I legit I didn't.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I didn't hit the classic phrase, I want to talk
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: to your manager and any think. But here's what buddy did.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: He started talking to me like he had he had
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: an accent on him, but he was like pronunciating it
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: was words well, very easy and clear. As soon as
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: there was a confrontation, all of a sudden he had
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: a waste stronger accent and he would just repeat things.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: He was starting to play me like I didn't I
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: already heard you talking good English brother, like, let's hey, dude.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: It maybe it.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I was so mad, literally was at being in the
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Bna Valley area for forty five minutes maybe an hour.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: That's tough, man, you went through that, and then what happened.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I got the car and drove off your phone?
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: So when I hit him with though, are you fucking serious?
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I like kind of put my hands out, oh like that,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: and the phone was on that little counter and it
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: hit I got this phone a week ago.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: A week ago, Oh my goodness, nothing, And.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: That sent me over the edge because I went to
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: go pick it up and I thought it was gonna
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: be fine. I turned it over and I saw it
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: and that sent me into a new atmosphere of mad.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: But that's where I just ended up getting quiet because
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I was mad, dude.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Because it's a great mix of that's everybody else's fault
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: that just happened, but also that's my.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Fault in your mind that at the moment, it's everyone's faults.

• 9:55
  Speaker 6: no question, no question.
• 9:58

• 24:03
  Speaker 2: and before when the Secret Service is starting to pile
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: in and all that, I wasn't nervous. But when the
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: door opened and he was on the phone and we
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: kind of did the walk up and he gave us
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: the finger real quick, he nervously got the ass. Dude, bro.

• 24:17
  Speaker 5: to like happen. I was excited to get it. I'm
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: more so thinking like I wonder what angle or where
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: we're going to kind of start the conversation because we're
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: going small talk. I think we put it in a
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: coffee order and then it kind of naturally started flowing.
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: But I was more coming down from I was more
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: I was most nervous standing out there when the Secret
• 24:34

• 24:58
  Speaker 5: first day he was here, he was more like that
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: guy you were talking about, Doug was. But then at
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: the end Doug was more. He was more relaxed, more
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: laid back. Fum. I loved us. I love that, but man,

  Speaker 3: whose maiden name was Amerlis Fox.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: She is now my campaign manager.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, and she was.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: She went to Oxford and then she had a theology
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: agree degree from Georgetown and she after nine to eleven,
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: she went in to the CIA. She was in the
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: cland Services in the Weapons of Mass Destruction program and
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: she was serving in China and Pakistan, all of the
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Mid East, and you know, God dismally. She actually was married.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: She had what they call a commercial cover, which is
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: that you're pretending to operate a business, and she her
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: business was originally their first business was an art dealer.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: The CIA my investment fund in cu tell gives you
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: seed money to start the business, but then you actually
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: have to run it. And she had a fake husband
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: who is also a spy, with whom she had a
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: child who is now sixteen years old.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: I hate to cut you off, but she had a
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: fake husband, was.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Living together.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: They were living yeah city, same bed. Things happened, and
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: then they had a fake child, well child marriage.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: I have an or child.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Her husband was involved with some really some challenging situations
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: and has severe, severe PTSD, and so she's been dealing
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: with that for a lot of her life. But she's
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: spent the resident and she became Her second commercial cover
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: was she started a tech company that became very successful
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: and Twitter purchased it from her, and then she left
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: the agency. She went to work for Twitter at a
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: high level. But somebody said to me the other day,
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: they said, Ameral is the smartest woman I've ever met,
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: And I said to them, No, she's the smartest person
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: you've ever met. And she has just a capacity that
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: a mental capacity that I've never encountered in anybody. She's
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: the extraordinary and the reason our campaign is doing so
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: well is because of her.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Now, when you're deciding to run for president, obviously there's
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of controversy between some of your family supporting
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: what you're doing because it hurts the Democratic Party. But
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: when you're choosing who's going to run your campaign, was
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: she the easy choice where a lot of people kind
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: of come out of it.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Was an impossible choice because there's you know, there was
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: no democratic and no Republican consulting firm. Usually you got
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: and you know, hire one of these consultantsies run you know, campaigns,
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: like David Axelrod has a firm and that's all it does.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: So you go in contract with one of these firms.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: And there's firms that are Democratic and there's firms that
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: a Republican and they usually don't they you know, they
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: don't cross the line. So we looked at all the
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: democratic firms and none of them would work for us
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: because if they did, they get blackballed. By the party,
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: and they also have union contracts and they'd lose all
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: their contracts, so anybody with experience was not going to
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: work for us. I got Dennis Concentage, who would run
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: for president twice, to run my campaign initially, but then Amarillas,
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: who had really really encouraged me to run from the outset,
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: started taking larger and larger responsibilities and it became clear
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: how talented she was and in every way, and you know,
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: run running a campaign like this is what we have
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: to do, where we have to get a million signature,
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: two million signatures get on the ballot in every state,
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: and it was the system was created to be insurmountable
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: so that nobody could ever did it. The rules were
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: written by the Republican and Democratic Party to make sure
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: they didn't have any competition. So, for example, in the
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: state of Maine, we have to go and get signatures
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: in every town. There's four hundred towns, and then you
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: have to get those certified by the town clerk. So
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: you need just an army of people and you have
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: a short period of spend a time span to do that.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Every state is different. In New York you have forty
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: five days to get I think one hundred and thirteen
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: thousand signatures, and in Texas we had to get one
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: hundred and thirty thousand and forty days. We ended up
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: getting a quarter million. So we're you know, we we
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: have a volunteer army, we have fifty thousand people we've
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: deployed now and and but am realistic controlling all that
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: and it's just a monumental logistical accomplishment.
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: Forgive me for I just kind of followed the X timeline.
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: But obviously you've gotten a lot of these signatures. But
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: then you'll see things where people like, oh, they're not
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: verified signatures or they're not counting, Like.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: What is what is the end?
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: See what we did because they're going to challenge every signature,
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: So we got doubled to triple the number of signatures
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: we need. And you know the some of them are
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: volunteer gathered, but some of them are we pay people
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: to do for us, and they are responsible for validating.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, we have contractual they have contractual obligations to
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: make sure that they're validated. The d n C is
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: going to challenge us in every day, so they're going
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: to sue us and they're gonna say that you know,
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: they're going to find some problem. But so far we've
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: won every lawsuit, and I'm very confident that we will
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: win every lawsuit. You know, we were very, very careful,
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: and so I'm you know, I am dead sure that
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: we will be on the ballot in every state by
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: the end of August.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Was a point for you gathering these ctures where you thought, Man,
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know if we're going to get this state
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: this date of that, or were you pretty confident the
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: entire time. You sound confident now.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: But I'm confident now. I there were there were people.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: Who were telling us the you know, the there was
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: a couple of consultants and it's a it's a crazy
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: industry and that you know there it's it's that is
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: kind of there's a whole cottage industry for ballot harvesting,
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: and a lot of it is predatory and unscrupulous, and
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: there's all kinds of dirty tricks that they do. They
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: you know, for example, they can get people to sabotage you.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: I'll get guys out in front of a of a
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: safe way or you know, Bigley Wiggley or whatever, collecting
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: signatures all day from customers. And one guy will wait
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: till he's got a full page and then pretended to
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: sign a signature, but he'll draw a line through the
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: whole page, and that invalidates every signature. Oh, there's all
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: kinds of little ways and big ways of attacking the
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: you know, attacking our efforts, and all those things have
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: been done to us. But there were people from the
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: beginning who said to us, we can do this. And
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: I didn't know whether to believe it or not, because
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: you know, you know, you're meeting these people for the
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: first time and you have no idea. But we ended
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: up choosing the right people, and I think we you know,
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: we're gonna get it done.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Boys, you can't see me because we're cutting the side
• 37:17

  Speaker 2: evaluated or approved by fd A. Let's get back to
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: this episode. Enjoy the day.
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: Why do they make it so difficult? You think like
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: it wouldn't be difficult for yourself, like being a Kennedy,
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: Like why does the DNC challenge everything? Why has it
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: been such a difficult?
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: I mean the DNC didn't want me. I originally ran
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: as a Democrat, right, you know, I was born in
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: the Democratic Party. My family has been Democratic office holders
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: since since the nineteenne since the eighteen nineties. My great grandfather,
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: Anni Fitz was the first Irish Catholic mayor boss and
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: you know his my other great grandfather, Patrick Kennedy, was
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: was a political boss and a state senator in Massachusetts
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: and then and so my family was raised in the
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Democratic Party and I could never imagine that I would
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: ever leave the Democratic Party. But I felt like the
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: Democratic Party left me. And when I tried to run,
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: they passed all of these rules to make sure that.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: I could not win. So, for example, I was campaigning.
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: Very, very heavily in New Hampshire and I was doing well,
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: and the Democratic Party passed a rule and anybody, any
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: candidate that steps in steps foot into the state of
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: New Hampshire, which I had already done, all of their
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: votes would count for President Biden. So that's one of
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: the sixty things that they did to make sure that
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: I could not No matter what happened, I could not
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: win the nomination. And it was not you know, it
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: wasn't Democratic Democrats are so terrified of Donald Trump that
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: they kind of have tunnel vision and they ignore a
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: lot of the kind of anything that is done to
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: make sure that Donald Trump is not president is okay.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: And I think that they've departed from a lot of
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: the values that made that party so attractive to me
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: growing up.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: If you put yourself in this now Democratic Party shoes,
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: where there's so tunnel vision in on Donald Trump, why
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: do they fear Trump so much? What is because everyone's
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: saying that each side is going to ruin democracy, But
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: it seems that they're so focused on beating each other,
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: as opposed to what you've said in one of your
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: things after Kamala Harris was announced as the next running
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: president of the Democratic Party, you said that, you know,
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: everyone's so focused on fighting each other and not focused
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: on the American people. But what where did this massive
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: separation take place? Was it twenty sixteen or was it
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: happening much before then?
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: You know, I.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: It's all kind of driven by a tribalistic and balls
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: and I think that.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: It really that the year.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: It's been happening since the nineteen eighties. But the big
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: change here, I think was twenty ten, and that was
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: the year that the Supreme Court issued a decision called
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: Citizens United and the Citizens United in we almost lost
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: a democracy. In the eighteen eighties and eighteen nineties. There was,
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: you know, the country who was really taken over after
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: the Civil War by these by these giant robber barons.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: There never been concentrations of wealth like that in America.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: And you had these big f these very very powerful
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: families like John Dye Rocketfellow, who is as rich now
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: as Elon Musk, I mean as rich then as Elon
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: Musk is now. You controlled I think about seventy or
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: eighty percent of the oil production in the world one man.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: You had the Morgans, the Carnegie Andrew Carnegie.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: You had the Fricks and.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: The Whitneys, these very very powerful robber barons who's sat
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: on interlocking boards, the Sugar Trust, the Oil Trust, the
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: rail Trust, and they were really running our country. And
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: at that time there was no direct election of senators,
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: so the public did not vote for the senators. The
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: Senate was chosen by the legislators. The legislatures were easy
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: to buy a couple of hundred dollars, you could buy
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: a state legislature. And it was said of the Pennsylvania
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: state legislature at that time that they were the only
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: legislature that was not sale because John D. Rockefeller owned
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: every one of them and he wasn't selling any of them.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: So that is and then because they controlled the Senate,
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: they control the political parties, and they controlled who was
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: going to become president. And there were no labor laws
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: at that time. There were no labor unions, there was
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: no uh, there was child labor, there were no child
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: labor laws, there were no women couldn't vote, of course,
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: blacks couldn't vote, and it really was not it was
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: no longer a democracy.
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: And then.
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: And then you had a confluence of events occur where
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: you had an agrarian movement called populism, there was democratic
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: where farmers were rising up, and you had in the
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: cities a group called the Progressive Movement, which was sort
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: of liberal Republicans who were good government types, and they
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: joined with the farmers and they they ended up electing
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: to heat Roosevelt, who was part of the oligarchy, but
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: he was also idealistic and was willing to stand up
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: and he had the confidence to stand up to wealth.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: He wasn't scared or intimidated by it, and he became president.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: They passed the Sherman and He Trust Act, and they
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: broke up the Standard Oil Company. They broke up all
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: these trusts. They passed child labor laws, They passed a
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: forty hour work week, They gave women the vote. They
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: passed an income tax for the first time. At that time,
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: if you know, John D. Rockefeller paid the same tax
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: as the poorest street sweeper. So they made wealthy people
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: for the first time pay their share. They passed a
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: corporate income tax. And the most important thing they did
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: to restore democracy was in two thousand and eight they
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: passed the law making it illegal for corporations to donate
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: to federal political candidates. That law helped restore American democracy.
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: And you know, we became the exemplary democracy in the world,
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: and everybody began imitating us when we had the American Revolution,
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: and you know, seventeen eighty four, we were the only
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: democracy in the world. By eighteen sixty sixty, the beginning
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: of the Civil War, there were five all of them
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: modeled on us. By the time my uncle was president
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: in nineteen sixty, there were one hundred and fifty democracies,
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: and pretty soon there would be one hundred and ninety,
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: all modeled on the US experiment. So we lived up
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: to our promise to being the exemplary nation. And it
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: was because we passed all these laws that righted democracy.
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: The most important was that law that said corporations can't
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: donate to a federal political candidate. In twenty ten, the
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: Supreme Court issued a decision saying that any restrictions on
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: companies giving to political candidates is a violation of free speech,
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: that that donation is actually a speech, and that it's
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: protected by the First Amendment, and any restrictions are illegal.
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: That released a tsunami of corporate money into the political process.
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: And so this election is going to cost. Prior to
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: twenty ten, the presidential collection an election would cause maybe
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: a billion dollars all in. This one's going to cost
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: fifteen billion. And that money is all coming from billionaires
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: and from you know, if you if you want to
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: run for Centator of New York, you've got to get
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: three hundred million dollars. That means you're on the phone
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: all day with millionaires and billionaires and you do not
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: have time to talk to an ordinary people. So both
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: political parties became possessed by a very wealth, you know,
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: a great wealth, and by corporate control and the and
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: the only way they just thing wish themselves is by
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: pointing to the other one and saying you're evil, You're
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: going to be the end of the republic. And so
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: I think that that's when the stakes really heated up
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: and people just became very, very tribalistic. I'm in this party,
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to listen to anybody else, and anything
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: that's critical of my party, I'm going to ignore it.
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: Anything that's you know, critical about the other guy, I'm
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: going to believe it. And we're all in a position
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: now we're being told that if you vote for that guy,
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: it's the end of the world and it's not healthy
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: for our country. And it's not true either. You know,
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: we have some institutions in this country that are strong
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: at present, even if you know, like on January sixth,
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: you know, there were a bunch of people who went
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: into the Capitol, but the US military was not supporting them.
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: This was not a coupd ata against our country.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: It was not you know, in a sense that.
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: It really was a threat to an existential threat to
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: American democracy. There were a lot of people with bad intention.
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: There are a lot of people committed crimes. They deserve
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: to be in jail. But in terms of threatening the
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: United States system of government, you know, it's just it's
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: not true and just that's not what it was.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: It was not good.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: It was bad, but you know it's been inflated to
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: make it seem like it was that America, the American
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: experience with experiment with self governance was hanging by threat
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: and that just wasn't real.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, we we didn't put in this insurance policy
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: before you stepped in the bus because I know we're
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: kind of we're going to have this little time and
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: then somebody's coming for you to sign a document. But
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: this podcast is not built for politics. Will and I
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: we don't know anything.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about something.
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, yeah, I thought everything the dullest, it's
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: the dullest object.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: It's it's no, it's one of those things though where
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: it's this is it's so interesting. But because of the
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: things you just mentioned, like you talking about January sixth,
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: it was a bad thing. People should be in jail,
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: but it wasn't as bad as everybody made it. And
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: now we're looking at everything as this like life or
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: death situation, when really it's taking a you know, a
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: level headed individual who knows the system very well to
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: just say, hey, there are good things and bad things,
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: but to say it's the worst thing or the best thing.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: That's where we're kind of losing ourselves in.
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: This time, and we're losing, you know, we're losing the
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: fact that we're all America and that the values that
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: we share in common are much larger than these little
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: sort of culture war issues and identity politics issues that
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: are being used to keep us all apart. And in truth,
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: people are benefiting from that are these big you know,
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: the financial interests like Black Rock, State Street, Van Guard,
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: these big companies. Those three companies own eighty eight percent
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: of the S and P five hundred and they're now
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: buying all all the resident residential housing and it's driving
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: up housing caused in this country. They're buying all the
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: farm land in our country and and corporatizing agriculture, and
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: they're they really are genuine existential threat to democracy and
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: they're but there you look what. They're controlled both political parties,
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: they're giving money to both, They control all the all
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: the military companies, They control. Blackrock is the biggest owner
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: of General Dynamics of NORTHWK Grumman of Owing of Lockheed.
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: So they have the contract to destroy Ukraine and they
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: also have the contractor rebuild it. And they're making money
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: both ways and those of the people, and all of
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: the policies they're designed are designed to strip mind wealth
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: from the American middle class and shifted upward to this
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: new olive gard billionaires during the COVID lockdowns, with five
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: hundred days of lockdowns under President Trump and President Bidens,
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: So they're both at fault. We created a billionaire a
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: day in five hundred days, and we shifted four point
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: three trillion dollars from the American middle class to this
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: new aristocracy. And they closed down every business in this
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: country three point three million businesses right that forty percent
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: of the black owned businesses will never reopen. And the
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: companies that they kept open were the companies that were
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: contributing to their parties. You know, Amazon, Uh, Facebook, Twitter,
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: all of these you know, these big tech companies and
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: Verizon and the big communications concerns, the you know, the
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: oil companies, the big egg companies. None of them shut down.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: They were all just raking in the money, and now
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: you know, and and now they're they don't have any
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: competitive business from the little people. And that was the
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: backbone of the American experienced small business.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: And it's being just.
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: Viscerted and we're all pointing each other and saying, you're
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: not really American, and it's it's terrible. It's not a
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: good outcome. And it allows that he is very, very
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: sort of dark and powerful people to do, I think,
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: tear the heart out of our country.
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: What would be like a practical strategy to start restoring
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: the middle class A lot I feel like a lot
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: of candidates always talk about restoring the middle class. But
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: for people out there listening that struggle to buy a home,
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: it's like, if you're in Nashville and you're trying to
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: buy a single family home, you're looking at several hundred
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: thousand dollars and it's almost impossible. It's almost impossible to
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: buy a home these days. So what is like a
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: what is like.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Is that you back there? It was you yeah, all right,
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: no longer in season.
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: That's all right, Well, we get like a practical strategy
• 52:54
  Speaker 5: that's understood by people listening to.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: This, I mean, we we should pass a lot.
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: That makes an elite all for these big investment firms
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: to buy thousands of houses.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: And that's what's happening.
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, we all know people who have who've gone
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: into has grown a house or they put down money,
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: and you know, and the housing prices they're climbing. So
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: two years ago, the average home in this country costs
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: two hundred and fifteen thousand dollars. Now it's over four
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: hundred thousand, and it's and you're paying seven or eight
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: percent interests from three percent, and nobody might.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: You know, I have seven kids. They all went to
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: the best schools.
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: You know, my son Bobby is forty, he had does
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: have a house.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: He and amarillis.
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: My six younger kids went to the best schools in
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: our country. They have great jobs, and none of them
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: can afford a home. So if they can't afford a home,
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: there's nobody who can afford a home. And that generation
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: is going to be the first generation in American history
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: that is far worse off than their parent generation. And
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: they're not going to own my home. And the home
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: ownership is the the core of the American experience. You know,
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: we when I was a kid, we had my uncle's president.
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: We had We were the wealthiest country. We owned half
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: the wealth on the face of the earth.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: In America.
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: The American middle class was the greatest economic engine the
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: history of mankind. One of the reasons for that was
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: because the industrial base of Europe kind of obliterated during
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: World War Two, but our factories were still cooking and
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: we were granking out cars and television sets and all
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: the things nobody else could build. Yet we had no competition.
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: But also more importantly, we passed these extraordinary wars laws
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: that said, if you serve in the military, you got
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: to own a home.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: You got the you know, the.
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: GI bill, and you're going to get into a home.
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: And the home at that point costs about seven grand,
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: and the average income was about almost six grand, so
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: you could homes were very, very affordable.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: And once you own a.
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: Home, everything changes because now you care about your community.
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: You care about your schools, you care about your police,
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: you care about your transportation, you care about the healthcare,
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: what the hospital looks like. You become part of an
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: investment in your community, and you care about the appearance
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: of your home and what your neighbor's home, and you
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: you you know you're invested in it. More importantly, you
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: now have equity, which means you could borrow money. And
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: if you can borrow money, then you can pursue your
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: entrepreneurial impulses. And this is something nobody else in the
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: world could do. Have that widespread home ownership that allowed
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: this ferment of entrepreneurial activity in our country, where you know,
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: if you can borrow money, I get a second mortgage
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: on your home, you can build a yoga studio or
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: a saloon, or a bowling alley or a sporting goodness
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: store and you and we started building communities based on that,
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: on the capacity to borrow money. Well, now we've got
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: a generation that cannot borrow money because they have no equity,
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: and they are going to be on the sidelines of
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: American capitalism. And we're going from an ownership society to
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: a renter society. And when you do that, you go
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: from being citizens to being subjects. That is the you know,
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: that's the colonial system, is the European aristocratic system that
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: we fought at revolution to get where the rich people
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: owned all the land and they loaned all the productivity
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: and your only choice was to work for them.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: In one way or another.
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: You read your house from them, and we're going back
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: to that now, and that we got to reverse that.
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: And one of the ways to do it is to
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: end the tax breaks that make it profitable for black Rock,
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: State Street, Vanguard, Fidelity, Blackstone to buy all.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: Of our land.
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: You know, everybody, every one of us knows somebody who
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: put you know, has growing a home, was about to
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: sign a contract and somebody comes in at the last
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: minute with a cash offer twenty percent higher than the
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: asking price, and Sweet takes off the table. And you're saying,
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: who just stole my home? Yeah, and you go and
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: it's an LLC with an ambiguous name.
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: In Tennessee, we call that California. We say, everyone in
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: California's coming in, yeah, taking our house. Yeah Yeah, they're
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: all moving it from Wow West to here.
• 57:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: Well that is true in Nashville to and sometimes it's
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: human beings that are taken, but a lot of times
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: it's all over the country. Is an LLC with this
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: ambiguous name, And you follow that the lines, you pull
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: the strings, and it leads you back to black Rock
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: and State Street and Vanguard and these giant financial houses.
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: And so our kids are now competing for the price
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: of money against these BMTH corporation that even if you
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: had the greatest credit rating in the world, Blackrock is
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: paying thirty percent less than you for money. So of
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: course they can afford that at home when you can't,
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: and then they'll rent it back to you, but they
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: own it. And that is you know what's happening. And
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: we have to make it so they can't do that anymore.
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: That's number one. I mean number two, we have to
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: stop printing money because that is what's driving inflation. And
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: that's that is a tax on the poor. It's attacks
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: on middle class, attacks on working people, and it is
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: it's theft. And you know the reason we have it
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: is to fund the wars or addicted to wars. And
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: you know, the Ukraine War is just the latest example
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: of a war we should have never gone into, and
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: that you know, we're spending, you know we're spending We
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: were spending two hundred billion dollars on that war when
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: they spent another half trillion dollars to rebuild the Ukraine afterward,
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: and we don't have the money to rebuild Lihina and Malley.
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: You know, I was out there where they burned this
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: incredible jewel of a city, you know, in this historical
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: city in Maui, and and uh, you know, President Biden
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: never visited there. Nobody has ever visited there. And they
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: can't get you know, they they they were talking about
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: passing a resolution renaming behind A Kiev because they saw
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: all the money going over to to Ukraine. But we
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: don't have the money to build an American community that
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: you know is designated our kids can't get into. You know,
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: we're in a crisis right now and we don't have
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: you know, we're like, we're like an alcohol like who
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: is in who's behind on his mortgage payments and he's
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: in the bar by using the milk money to buy
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: rounds for strangers.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: And you know that that is a situation we're in right.
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: Now, Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. I'm soaking in
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: Mother Nature's cosmic rays down here in thirty eight Florida

• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: right now with us, with.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 5: All you have something I was gonna say, simple brain,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 5: simple brain, go ahead, say we stopped printing money. Say
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 5: you pass this uh, pass this law to where the
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 5: corporation stopped buying the housing. Like what is the domino
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 5: What does that domino effect look like?
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, my simple brain thinks to that question, things
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: get worse before they get better, right, Like it's the
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: darkest before the dawn. You stop printing money, you're gonna
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: have hit a recession pretty quick because now there's no
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: more money and we're solely rebuilding.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: Well, here's what you cannot just.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 6: You.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: You can't cut your way out of a out of
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: this debt. We have a thirty four trillion dollar debt.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: Now the cost of servicing that debt, So the money
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: we're paying on the interest is now larger than our
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: defense budget. Within five years, fifty cents out of every
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: dollar that is collected in taxes is going to go
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: to servicing the debt within ten years. One hundred percent
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: is not sustainable. When you have a debt that size,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: you can't cut your way out of it. What you
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: need to do is cut the things that are not
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: adding to GDP.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: So the military.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: If you build a plane or bomb, then you're sending
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: it somewhere and blowing it up, and it's like digging
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: a hole, and you know, and then paying somebody to
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: dig the hole and then to fill it up. It
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: adds nothing to the economy. There's no goods or services
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: that are accruing to benefit quality of life in our
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: country from building bombs and sending them abroad. Every million
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: dollars we spend on the military creates two jobs in America.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: If you use that same million dollars on childcare, it
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: creates eighteen jobs.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: So that's what you have to do.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: And that allows the mother to go if she chooses,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: and you know, I think we should honor motherhood, but
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: the mother, if she chooses, should be able to leave
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: the home and get a job and pay taxes and
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: create wealth. And you grow the economy out of the deficity.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: You got to cut spending, you know, some you also
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: have to reinvest the money that is misdirected into you know,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: and by the way, we're spending twice now what we
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: were at the height of the Cold War in real dollars,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: so and that money is not about national defense, it's
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: about global domination.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: What I would do is.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: When my grandfather wanted, when my uncle Jack Kennedy did,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: which is to create Fortress America, make ourself, arm ourselves
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: to the teeth at home, make ourselves toos to conquer,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: have enough military power to protect the sea lanes, to
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: protect neutral areas like the Arctic Antarctic, and to protect
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: and then to fight two small confrontations and different theaters
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: of the world to punish bad behavior if we need to,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: but otherwise, and take that other money and spend it
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: making a lot of people's lives been are rebuilding our
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 3: industrial base at home, which we don't have anymore. We
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: can't fight a war anymore because we don't.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: We were able to fight World War.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: Two because we had these vast factories better than anybody
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: else in the world that were creating automobiles, and we
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: were able to make.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: Tanks and airplanes. And today now this in.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 3: The last twenty years, we've exported all our industrial base
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: to China. Oh, China can fight a war right now.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: And China can beat us in a war because it
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: has an industrial base. And we know long when we
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: can't build tanks and ships and you know, a ship
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: a day like we were doing during World War Two.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: People aren't even realizing this how weak our country is
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: because we've allowed our industrial base to be exported, and
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: we need to bring it back here and start rebuilding
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: the American middle class. I don't think it gets worse.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: I think we start realigning that money, you know, very
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: quickly to things that actually improved people's lives, like childcare
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: is one of those things that is one of the
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: quickest ways to start rebuilding the economy, and then changing
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: the rules to make it much easier for kids to
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: get into houses, you know, and by their own house.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you something, when I was a kid, when
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: I was in nineteen sixty four, my uncle was killed
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: in sixty three, and my father was shattered by that
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: and really, uh began coming out of it. Almost took
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: him like nine months to even you know, to begin
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: to kind of function again. And we we were invited
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: by a h anti communist group to come to Poland,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: which was then a communist country, and we went to Poland,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: my brothers to two of the older siblings. I had
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: eleven siblings and they I was on the third. So
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: me and my and the top four sing siblings went
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: to Poland. The Polish government didn't want us there and
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: they made that clear, and they they didn't want the
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: Polish people to know we were in and all of
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: the people, all all of news of our presence in
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: the country was blacked out on the official news, which
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: was you know, it's all state on media. So in fact,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: two days before we went, we went to Sears and
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: Roebach and we went to Woolworths and Washington, d Z.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: And we bought presents with my mom for her kids
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: that we were going to go to an orphanage and
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: distribute these gifts. You know, everybody wanted American stuff at
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: that point. Everyone everybody wanted to We're the only ones
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: making transistor radios, making like automobiles, making blue jeans, and
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: everybody wanted American stuff. We went bought toys and apparel,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: you know, clothing for these kids, and we get to Warsaw.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 3: We go to the orphanage and the Polish government had
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 3: removed all the children because they didn't want us have
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: any contact with the Polish people.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: Two days later.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: We went to crack Out to visit this cardinal. And
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: the cardinal was a living saint, you know, and I
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 3: grew up a Catholic. We werepers at at Rosary twice
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: a day, We went to church twice a day. We
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: prayed before and after every meal. We read the Bible,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: very Catholic family. We read the lives of and this
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: the cardinal who was who's was presided over the cathedral
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 3: of the Black Minton hum which isn't Crackout Square, had
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: stood up to the Communists, He had been jailed, hive
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: been tortured, he had endured those challenges. Was such piety
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: and bravery that he inspired a religious resurgence in the
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: Catholic Church in Poland. And everybody knew the men that
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: he died, the Catholic Church was going to be atify
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: him as a saint. So we knew as kids that
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: we were going to meet somebody who was a living saint,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: which you know, to us that was the biggest deal
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: in our lives. And we went into Cregout. When we
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: went through Grekhouse Square, we were the only car in
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: the square, and there weren't too many cars in Poland
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: at that time, and there was a you actually, I
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: think that's a picture of what happened. Then we went
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: into Crakouse Square and there was nobody and we're the
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: only car there. We met for a couple of hours
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: with the with the cardinal, and in fact, there were
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: a young priest made us chicken sandwiches in the kitchen
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: when we were waiting for the cardinal, and that priest
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: later became a pup, John Paul the Second, And we
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: met with the Cardinal. Then we come out and crackousewhere
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: and that crowd a million people are waiting for us,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: and the word had spread through word of mouth, and
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: they had shut down all the shops in Crackout and
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: all the entire population that the city had come out
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: to see our family, to see an American because they
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 3: loved our country, and we were we were stuck in
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: the sea of people that limited the embassy limo couldn't have.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 3: My father pulled us all out of the back window
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: of the car under the roof and we stood there
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 3: and watched this huge crowd and you know, I had
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 3: you could see me there with my little shorty shorts.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: And they were they started singing to us a stolt,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 3: which means may you live forever. And then they started
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: singing this anthem tized which the ambassador said that song
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: is illegal for.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: Them to sing. You go to jail if you sing
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: that song.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: And the whole crowd was singing it, and they were
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: there was just tears flowing down their faces and they
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: were reaching up you can see them to touch you know,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: I was signing autographs, this little ten year old.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 4: Kid and uh, you know my father, Yeah, exactly so.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: And you know, on that trip, because these people loved America.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 3: And on that trip, we went to England, we went
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: to France, we went to Germany, we went to Italy, Greece.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: Everywhere we went, the same thing happened.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: She's spontaneous crowds coming out of notewhere, just because they
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 3: were so proud of America. And you know, my uncle
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: had made a commitment, he said when he told his
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: best friend, he said, his best friend, Ben Bradley, had
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: said to him, what do you want in your gravestone?
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: And he said, he said, my uncle said, immediately he
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 3: kept the peace. He said the primary job of a
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 3: president of the United States to keep the country out
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: of war. My uncle had been in the war.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: He had a lot.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 3: Two of my uncles died in the war, including his
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: brother twenty years later, you know, thirty years later, if
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: I mentioned Uncle Joe's name to my grandfather, he'd burst
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: into tears because he was the golden child. He was
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: the oldest brother, and you know, he was the guy
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: that they had invested all this promise in. There's pictures
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: of him just before he died. He volunteered for a
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: suicide mission and his you know, his his plane was
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: blown up. It was the first remote control flying and
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 3: he was and he flewid he was killed. My other uncle,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 3: who was you know, married to my aunt to Kick Kennedy,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 3: he also died. For the first days of the war,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: my uncle Jack had been lost at sea. His his
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 3: uh he tee boat was cut in two by a
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: fog in the Blacket Straits off the Solomon Islands by
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: a Japanese destroyer. And he had he had been on
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: the Harvard swim team. He had swum six miles. One
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: of his crew had been badly burned, two were killed.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: He swam six miles with the lanyard and his teeth dragging,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 3: you know, this guy who had been badly burned.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: And then they hid out on.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 3: An island for ten days, and two Solomon Islanders came
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 3: to that island and he and they were collecting coconuts,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 3: and they hated the Japanese because they were the colonizers.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 3: My uncle wrote his coordinates onto a coconut and they
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 3: buried it under a pile of coconuts, and those Solomon
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 3: Islanders went thirty miles across the Blackets, across the ocean,
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: and gave the coconut to the British headquarters. My uncle
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 3: was rescued. But he was the only president who's ever
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 3: won the Purple Heart. So he was a warrior, you
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: know he and he wanted to keep the country out
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 3: of war. Incidentally, I'll tell you a funny story. During
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 3: his inauguration, I was seven years old, and he invited
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: the captain of that Japanese destroyer that had sunk him
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: to his inauguration as an honored guest, and I got
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: to meet him. Then you know that he was the
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: guy who sank Uncle Jack and almost killed him, and
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: he was an admiral and the navy, but my uncle
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: also invited the two Solomon Islanders who had rescued him,
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 3: and the British guy vener of the Solomon Island was
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: embarrassed by their appearance because they had never worn shoes,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: and they were wearing loin cloths, you know, they and
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: they didn't speak any English. So he chose two kind
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 3: of presentable Solomon Islanders and sent them instead, you know.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: Sent the civilize.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: And my uncle Jack was so pissed off at him,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 3: and uh and you know, he never got to see
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 3: him again. But about ten years ago, my little brother
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: Max went to the Solomon Islanders with Robert Ballard, who
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 3: is the undersea explorer who found that he discovered the
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: Titanic right.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: And they were looking for PT.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: One O nine and they found it. They found like
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 3: an inge, a little small part of an engine block.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: They did.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: Those pete boats were made of plywood, so they you know,
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 3: nothing's left of the original hall, but they found a
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 3: little piece of it. But while they were in the
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: Solomon Islanders, my brother met those two guys. They're still alive,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 3: and they they were both wearing T shirts and said,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: I rescued John F.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: Kennedy, so awesome, And my brother said.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 3: When they were introduced to him, they both burst into tears.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: They knelt on the ground and were kissing his feet,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 3: which was a cultural thing, and that you know, he
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: was crying and they were crying. He just said it
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 3: was incredible. But anyway, my uncle knew, you know, he
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: resisted all. They tried to get him to go into
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: Laos in sixty one.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: He refused.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: They tried to get him there. There's the guys that's
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: a great teacher. They tried to get him to go
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 3: into Vietnam and he refused. They tried to get him
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: to go into Berlin. They twice tried to get him
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 3: to go into Cuba, and he wouldn't do it. He
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 3: never sent a combat troop abroad to die. And a
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 3: month before he died in October twenty second, nineteen sixty
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: he you know, he ended up sending sixteen thousand advisers
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: to Vietnam to tea you know, to teach them how
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 3: their helicopter pilots. And they were green berets. Under the
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: rules of engagement, they weren't supposed to fight, but they
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 3: did anyway, and for reasons.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: You can imagine.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 3: And he heard that one of them got killed, and
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 3: he asked Walt Rosstow, who was one of his aides,
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: to give him a casualty list of all of the
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: American casualties. And Walt Rostell came back in there seventy
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 3: five Americans had died, and he said, that's too many.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: I'm bringing them all home.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 3: And that afternoon he signed an order called National Security
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: Order two sixty three, ordering all US military personnel home
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 3: from Vietnam by sixty five by nineteen sixty five, the
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 3: first thousand coming home in December of nineteen sixty three.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 3: That would have been six weeks later. Thirty in the
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: day after he signed that order, he was murdered. And
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 3: then a week after that, President Johnson remanded the order.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: Johnson sent two hundred and fifty thousand troops, which they'd
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 3: been trying to get my uncle Jack too. And then,
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 3: you know, my father ran against the war in sixty
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 3: eight and he, you know, he was killed running against
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: the war. Martin Luther King two months before my dad died.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: Martin Luther King had become a peace activist.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: He was killed.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 3: And then Nixon became president and you know, sent over
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: five hundred and sixty thousand Americans fifty six thousands of
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 3: them never came home. We killed a million Vietnamese. My cousin,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: George Kaikole died over there during the ten offensive. And
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 3: you know, again, it was a war that should have
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: never happened.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: My uncle knew that.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 3: And and but because of that, because of his commitment,
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: he said, I don't want he I don't want African
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 3: kids and Asian kids and Latin American kids when they
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: hear about the United States of America to think of
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 3: a guy in a uniform with a gun. I want
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 3: him to think of a Peace Corps volunteer. I want
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: him to think of the USAID program and the Alliance
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 3: for Progress, which was supposed to put America, you know,
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 3: on the side of the poor and help grow middle
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 3: class in this country and not you know, be giving
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: weapons to everybody.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: And he succeeded in doing that.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 3: And because of that, there's no now more statues to
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 3: my uncle, more universities named after more parks, more roads, avenues,
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: boulevards and Africa, Asian and Latin America than any other
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: US president in the history, and probably more than all.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: Of them combined.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 3: And that's a good foreign policy because you know, we
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 3: want them. He wanted to project economic power abroad, but
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 3: not military power. And the strategy of projecting military power
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: has made us now, you know, enormously unpopular, and it's
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 3: pushed Russia and China and Iran together in a terrible,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: terrible alliance. For the United States, it's created the Bricks organization,
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 3: which is now about just the US dollar is the
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 3: global reserve currency. And and you know, none of that
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: is good for our country. It's all bad. It's all
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 3: because we we lead with the military than leading.

  Speaker 1: And we had.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 3: We always had redskins in our house, and we had
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: the Green Beret. I grew up also a lot of
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 3: Green Berets at our house. My uncle started the Navy
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 3: Seals and he allowed the Pentagon wanted to take the
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 3: beret away from.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: The Green Berets. He thought because they it was you know, it.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 3: Wasn't they they've viewed it as a kind of defiance
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 3: or something. And my uncle.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: Allowed them to keep.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: It, and they were always very grateful to him, and
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 3: he's kind of their patron present to this day. And
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 3: we had Major Ruddy, who was the head of the
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 3: Green Berets, was at our house all the time they
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 3: were firing grappling. We had a four story house in
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 3: Virginia and they would come to our house and do
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 3: these demonstrations. They would fire grappling hunks up out into
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 3: the roof and they would come, you know, climb up
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 3: there and then repel down. I went to Fort Bragg
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 3: and I also went to their training camp and l
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 3: Junk which is down in Puerto Rico when I was
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 3: a kid.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: But they also built like a full scale.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 3: Obstacle course in our house, like a military obstacle course
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 3: in one of the pastors, you know.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: At our house, and.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 3: My mom every year would have a pet show. It
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 3: was like a benefit for an orphanage in Washington, d C.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 3: And people come, thousands of people coming. They had you
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 3: had to bring a pet to get into the pet show.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 3: There was a lot of funny stories that happened there.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 3: But the Redskins would come and run the obstacle course
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 3: and they had you know, competitions on their.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: Obstacle course every year.
• 1:23:37

• 1:23:51
  Speaker 5: They your team.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: Team growing up?
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 5: What do you think about them changing the name to Commanders.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 5: I gotta go, what do you think I think it
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 5: needs to be HTTR Hail to the Redskins, to the Redskins. Yeah,
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 5: HTTR is the acronym that that the Redskins.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: Oh the Redskins.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, like.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: They would say that. Yeah, HTTR would be like ht
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: tag or.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 5: The HTTR is like the fan base, Hail to the Redskins,
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 5: Hail to the Redskins, their fight song and everything. Yeah,
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 5: they obviously changed the name to the Commanders, And that's
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 5: always like a topic of discussion in the football world. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 5: it is.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: You can understand why the name little if.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: It's I have problems with I have problems with a
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: lot of a lot of that stuff.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 3: And I you know, I've worked on indigenous issues on
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 3: my whole life. Twenty percent of my career has been
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 3: working for Indians and and you know, negotiating treaties in
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 3: Latin America and the United States, and and and and
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 3: and in Canada and and indicating on behalf of Indians against.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: Big ballooters and stuff.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 3: So I'm very sensitive to their to those issues.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: But I am I was sad to see the change.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 5: That was well done.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: That was a great, great answer navigating those waters. Are
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: you are you it's a tough deal? Are you hard
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: some time?
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 5: Are you a college football guy? Are you more pro?
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 5: More NFL more NFL.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I want. My wife is a rabbit.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 3: Fanta. She was asked by She went to University of
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 3: Central Florida and yeah, my dad. You know, you know
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 3: what's interesting, my dad, because I'm watching this picture of
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 3: my dad and I think that's a I think that's
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 3: a Hope Indian that he's he's with.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: And we went to that readit.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 3: We went to all the reservations when I was growing
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 3: up to the command.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: She's to the Cherokee Mohawk to Hope. He didn't have
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: a hoe.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 3: Everywhere we went, he would take us to a reservation.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 3: There were always Indians in our house. He had a
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 3: bunch of Eskimos. We had a freak snowstorm in Washington
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 3: one time and there were a bunch of Eskimos visiting
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 3: my father at the Justice Partment, and he brought them
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 3: all home for lunch and they built this huge igloe
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 3: in our backyard.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: It was very, very cool.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 3: But my father, in nineteen sixty eight, he went out
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 3: to the Pine Ridge Reservation where I've spent a lot
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 3: of time in South Dakota, and he spent a whole
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 3: day there. There were twenty thousand white people waiting for
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 3: him in Rapid City, and his age were saying, you
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 3: got to go because Indians don't vote anyway, and I
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 3: don't care. And he spent the whole day out there.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: He saw.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 3: A group of Sioux living on in an automobile family
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 3: living in it burned out a hulk of an autoville,
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 3: and it made him cry. It's the only time, other
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 3: than when his brother died, that anybody had ever seen
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 3: him cry. And that word spread on the reservation, and
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 3: a few weeks later when he on the last day
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 3: of his life, he won the state of South Dakota
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 3: because he got virtually one hundred percent of the vote
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 3: on the Pine Ridge and also all the other reservations
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 3: Rosebuds standing Rock in North Dakota, but he won all
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 3: of the Sioux vote and it put him over the edge.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 3: So the last day of his life, he won the
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 3: most rural state in our country, which was South Dakota,
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 3: and the most urban, and it was because of the
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 3: Indian vote. But when he was at Pine Ridge that time,
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 3: this is nineteen sixty eight, he met a woman who
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 3: had been at Custer last and that always impressed me
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 3: a lot, because Cust's sounds like it was, you know,
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 3: a long time ago, but it was only it was
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 3: it was ninety years before. You know, it was in
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 3: eighteen seventy six, oh An wholesoon Nation was at a
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 3: little big Horn river on having a pow wow.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: There were men, women and.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 3: Children and this little girl was a little girl living
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 3: in a tepee when they went out and killed Kuster,
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 3: and she then met my father when he was running
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 3: for president ninety years later.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 5: That's unbelievable.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: With you just talked about your uncle and your father
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 2: and both of them passing being assassinated, and the common
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: denominators that you said, and with the stories you were
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: telling us, everything is like they were standing up for
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: something that they wanted them to do. And now you
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: sit here trying to be the next president of the
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: United States, and there's so many things that you're standing
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: up for against these big companies who if you are elected,
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: you're going to hurt their pockets a lot. Like where
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: all this stuff going on? Like Trump, there's an assassination
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 2: attempt on him. You just now get secret service, Like
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: where is the Why is this so big to you? Why?
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: Why is this so important that you you're willing to
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: put your life at risk.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, my whole.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 3: Life has been kind of you know, committed to our country,
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 3: and you know, I just saw it. I felt like,
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 3: you know, the country was going off the rails, and
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 3: and that the people who should know what America is
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 3: supposed to look like like they had forgotten or something.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: And I felt like.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 3: Somehow all the people that I trusted to take care
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 3: of business were not taking care of it, and that
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 3: I kind of had a unique ability to remind people
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 3: what our country is supposed still look like, that we're
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 3: supposed to be an exemplary nation, that we're supposed to
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 3: protect our constitution, that there's not supposed to be censorship
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 3: of free speech even during pandemics. You're not supposed to
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 3: close down all the churches, You're not supposed to close
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 3: down the businesses. You're not supposed to suspend jury trials,
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 3: all the things that.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: The Constitution guarantees us.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 3: And then you know, and that we've turned we're turning
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 3: into a warfare estate and it's destroying the American middle.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: Class, and I just see everything.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 3: I don't want my kids. I want my kids to
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 3: have the same love for our country and hope for
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 3: their futures that I grew up with. It was a
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 3: poll taken in twenty thirteen where they polled American young
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 3: people between eighteen and thirty five, and they asked them,
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 3: are you proud of the United States? And eighty five
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 3: percent said yes? And the same poll taking five months ago,
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 3: only seventeen percent said yes. Oh shit somehow, And the last,
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 3: you know, in the administration, the last two administrations, you
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 3: have an entire generation of kids who has lost their
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 3: pride in America, who are not proud to be Americans, right,
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: And you guys grew up proud to.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 3: Be Americans, right, proud of everything.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: So that to me is heartbreaking. And you know that
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: my kids are part of that generation.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 3: My kids are proud, but they're part of a generation
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 3: that's not only not you know, lost their pride in
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 3: our country, but they've lost.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: Their hope for their own futures.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 5: And you know, I just feel like I got to
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 5: do something right in the last two weeks. Obviously it's
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 5: been a crazy last couple weeks, but in your opinion,
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 5: like what's happening with the Biden administration. He seemed excited
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 5: to run then all of a sudden, they you know,
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 5: report that he is falling out. Kamala Harris is now
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 5: going to take over what is unfolding on the.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 3: Let me, I mean, let me ask you guys something
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 3: because you're not focused on politics, but.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: Didn't you I'm scared of this question. You're making me
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: go a line and my whole thing is playing.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 3: This isn't like democratic Republican, but I like I. I
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 3: was not surprised by the bad performance and the debate
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 3: because I was watching just YouTube videos of all of
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 3: these all of these revealing videos that indicated that President
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 3: Biden was having cognitive impairments, that he was you know,
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 3: that he was having some kind of cognitive degeneration. And
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 3: and so I always thought that there, you know, he's
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 3: going to get the debate is going to be a
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 3: bad night for him, because he's okay when he was
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 3: talking with a prompter, but he never did unscripted encounters
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 3: with voters, and he didn't do debates, he didn't do
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 3: town halls, all the things that politicians normally do. They
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 3: kept him from doing that. He had fewer press conferences
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 3: than any president in history during this term. So I
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 3: was not surprised, and it was kind of weird to me.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 3: That people acted surprise, and then the whole country pivoted
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 3: against the whole media empire pivoted against him and said,
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 3: oh wow, this is a huge shock, And I'm like,
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 3: I was shocked. The thing that shocked me is that
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 3: people were acting shocked. So I don't there's no point
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 3: to this. It's like, it's not a good story.
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 5: But I feel like it was. People weren't necessarily shocked.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 5: You're kind of tuning in for the entertainment factor. What's
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 5: about to go down?
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because you expected something like it was like, you know,
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 3: I said this the other day, it was every time
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 3: I saw him on TV, it was like watching your
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 3: five year old play on a jungle gym for the
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 3: first time.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: You're like, oh God, something bad that happen.
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 2: Oh what are your emotions when you see Biden and
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: his cognitive function? Because you've I've saw I listened to
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 2: your Rogan podcast, to listen to you on Doctor Phil,
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: and you've had a long standing relationship with him. What
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 2: kind of person was Joe Biden twenty thirty years ago
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 2: compared to now?
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 6: He was?
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 3: Well, I look at him now and I feel like
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 3: he's you know, just that he's very he's old and
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 3: people aged differently. I know people who have dementia, and
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 3: I have relatives who have dementia, and he acts like
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 3: somebody who has you know, dementia. Oh, I you know,
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 3: the Joe Biden I knew was a a very very
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 3: sweet man.
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: You know, after.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 3: My cousin Kara died, and you know, my uncle had passed,
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 3: my uncle Teddy already passed, and then his daughter pas
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 3: In Buying, without saying anything to anybody, showed up at
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 3: her funeral and her memorial and stay through the whole thing.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: And you know, I spent the night with the family
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: and all that. And he didn't do it.
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 3: He did it just because you know, he had compassion.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 3: I felt like he was that guy. I felt like
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 3: he was a from his grant in Pennsylvania, that he
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 3: was on the side.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: Of working people.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 3: And you know, I mean he always had problems with words,
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 3: and he had some challenges during his lifetime with saying
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 3: things that weren't true. But I thought generally speaking that
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 3: he was, you know, committed to high ideals.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: And he's a guy who.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 3: Spent fifth years in service of the country. And of
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 3: course there's benefits to being in political power there's also
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 3: tremendous sacrifices, and I think both Republicans and Democrats who
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 3: make that choice that it's not an easy way to live.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 3: It's a really difficult way to live. And most people,
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 3: I think could do you know other stuff that And
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 3: so I respect anybody who makes that choice, even if
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 3: I don't agree with them. That's I think, that's my best.
• 1:36:32

• 1:37:02
  Speaker 5: with rfk JR. There were rumors. There were rumors of
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers being your VP. At one point in time,
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 5: was there ever a formal uh invite.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: I talked to him about it. Yeah, I talked to
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: him about it.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 2: I am.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: You know, I asked him. I asked him, I asked him,
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: would he do it? And uh, I really love Aaron Rodgers.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 3: I think he's got tremendous courage and.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: He does. He's committed to you know, he's a guy.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 3: He does critical thinking, and he's he's somebody who you
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 3: guys don't think a lot about politics. He's thinking about
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 3: it all the time. He's you know, skeptical of authority,
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 3: and he is a very very interesting mind. He's fascinating
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 3: to talk to. And uh so I think he would,
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 3: you know, and he's he's curious about everything.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: My uncle.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 3: When he first met Jackie, who you know he ended
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 3: up marrying. She was a reporter I think it was
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 3: for Harold and she was doing any interview with them,
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 3: and she asked and what he thought his best quality
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 3: was and she assumed that he was going to say
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 3: courage because his own history of you know, demonstrating physical bravery.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: And then he had written a book called Profiles and Courage.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 3: There was about moral courage among you know, a political
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 3: leaders in our country of political leaders who had made
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 3: choice is that benefited our country and ruined their careers.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: And knowingly did that.
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 3: And he wrote a whole you know, he wrote it's
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 3: a series of stories about these people who torched their
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 3: own careers. And he had won a Pulitzer Prize for that. Look, Oh,
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 3: Jackie assumed that he was going to probably say that
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 3: courage was his strongest, his best, but he said curiosity.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 3: He said that was his greatest attribute. It's great as
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 3: the virtue that was most important to him politically. And
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 3: I understand why he said that, because it's one of
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 3: the ways that he was able to keep peace, because
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 3: he was he was curious about why how Khrushchev saw
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 3: the world. He was curious about how Castro saw the world.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 3: He you know, he he ended up with Khrushchev having
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 3: this extraordinary we had. You know, during that time when
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 3: my uncle came into office, the CIA didn't know anything
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 3: about what was happening in the Kremlin because there was
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 3: a mole in Langley and as soon as they got
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 3: a spy, a high level person in the Kremlin, the
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 3: Kremlin would know within days and they'd kill the guy.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 5: And and so they it was.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 3: It was just a dark space for them. And they
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 3: the way that they explained what was happening to the
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 3: Kremlin to my uncle, and it was kind of monolithic,
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 3: and they all were bent on world domination and that
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 3: they had a plan and they were all working together.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 3: And my uncle was like, I don't think that that's possible.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 3: He said, it's got to be like Boston, where they all,
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 3: you know, are trying to stab each other and they're
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 3: fighting with each other, and they have different world views
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 3: and there's some good ones and some bad ones. And
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 3: he was really curious about it, and he went to
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 3: meet there's a picture here of him in his first
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 3: meeting with Khrushchef in Vienna, and that was at the
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 3: beginning of his presidency and he was very, very hopeful
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 3: of finding.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: A path to peace with Khrushchef.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 3: A Khrushchef robusted, rebuffed him, and Kruschev was very bombastic,
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 3: and he gave him a lecture on US imperialism and
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 3: said that he wasn't scared the United States and that
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 3: you know, the the Russians had won the war, not
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 3: the United States against the Nazis, which you know was
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 3: pretty true, and that and that they could take any punishment.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 3: They weren't scared of anything, and sent my uncle away
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 3: really discouraged. And but Khrushev was an interesting guy because
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 3: he had been in the war, he'd been in general
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 3: and he was and he was at the worst battle
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 3: in the war, which was Stalingrad, where they were eating
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 3: each other literally, you know, they were there was widespread cannibalism.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 3: They ate the dogs, they ate the horses, and then
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 3: they started eating each other. And he saw things that
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 3: you know, nobody you know, just terrible, terrible things. He
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 3: didn't won another war, and and Russia had lost one
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 3: out of every seven of its citizens during that war.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 3: Russians just you know, took the full brunt of Hitler.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 3: And then after the Cuban midsk the confrontation at Checkpoint Charlie,
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 3: which is there were two tank battalions that were facing
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 3: each other off on the when they were building when
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 3: the Russians were building the Berlin Wall, because all of them,
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 3: the Germans from the part of Russia that was occupied
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 3: East Germany, which was occupied by the Soviets, they all
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 3: wanted to get out to the US side, and so
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 3: they were coming over and so the Russian solved that
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 3: problem by building a wall, you know, this terrible wall
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 3: at last until nineteen ninety three. And during that period,
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 3: a US general named Lucius Clay.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: Put bulldozer plows.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 3: On the front of tanks and then went to plow
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 3: down the wall, and Russian Tank Division met him on
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 3: the other side at a crossing called Checkpoint Charlie. And
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 3: we were moments away from nuclear confrontation, and my uncle
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 3: sent a message to Khruschef and Khrushchef said, my back
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 3: is to the wall.
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: He said, we got it.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 3: We got My uncle said, we got to solve this.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 3: We cannot start bombing each other. And Khrushchev said, my
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 3: back is to a wall. I cannot go farther back.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 3: And what he was saying to my uncle is, I'm
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 3: surrounded by people here who want this, and I'm limited
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 3: in what I agree with you. I don't want this war,
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 3: but you got to help me somehow. And they ended
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 3: up helping each other to solve that crisis, and after
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 3: that they developed this relationship with trust and we had
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 3: what I was growing up, my parents had a There
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 3: was a Soviet spy who was He worked for the
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 3: gru which is the military spy agency.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: And for the KGB.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 3: And this was the time the first James Bond film
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 3: started coming out, So you know, we knew all about
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 3: Russian spies because they.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: Were in the James Bond films, and.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 3: So we were very excited when my parents began bringing
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 3: this guy to our house. His names is Georgie Bolskoys
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 3: and they had met him at the Soviet embassy at
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 3: a party, and he was very charming.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: He was kind of a squat. He was a real athlete.
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 3: He could climb a rope with his legs stuck out
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 3: like that. He would do push up contest with my father.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: He could do the Cossack dancing where you know, he'd say,
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: get on the table, which is very hard to do.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: It looks yeah, were you in an ac.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah a cl then another one yeah two years later.
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you can't do it, but I can't do it,
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: and I can.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 2: Watch and appreciate the O. I know, we've got to
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 2: get you out of here in just a few minutes.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 3: Anyway, he was finished telling this real quick. I asked,
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 3: which is that Georgie Bolshkoy.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 2: My parents.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 3: The State Department hated the fact that my parents were
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 3: seeing we're having a Soviet spy at their home. We
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 3: all loved him, and they loved him because he was
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 3: really joyful and he was buoyant, and but a Khrushchef
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 3: trusted him, and my uncle trusted him. And Khrushcheff began
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 3: smuggling letters to my uncle. And the first letter he
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 3: sent him, and he sent in a New York Times
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 3: was Georgie Bolshkoy folded the letter into New York Times
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 3: and smuggled with my father, And the first letter apologized
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 3: for what he had done in Vienna and said, we
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 3: got off to a bad start. And he said, I'm
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 3: sitting in my dutcha on the Black Sea, and I'm
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 3: watching children play, and I'm thinking, we don't have a
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 3: right to kill these children. And my uncle then sent
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 3: him back a letter saying, I'm sport watching my nieces
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 3: and nephews play with my children, and you know, they
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 3: have a right to grow up, to write poetry and
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 3: to play baseball and to you know, be political leaders
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 3: and this, and if we blow it for them, it's
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 3: our crime. And they started writing each other, and they
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 3: hid it from their own intelligence apparatus, their own they
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 3: were both realized they were surrounded by warhawks and intelligence
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 3: apparatus in the military, and that they were isolated in
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 3: their own governments, and that they found each other and
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 3: that they had to keep the countries.
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: Out of the war.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 3: And you know, and they wrote twenty six letters to
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 3: each other. The last one was sent the day by
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 3: Krushev the way the day that my uncle died, and
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 3: they had made were making plans to end the arms race,
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 3: only to get rid of all the nuclear weapons and
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 3: to join each other in making the world better for humanity.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 3: And you know, kruse Chef was proposed right after my
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 3: uncle was I was murdered. But it was because of
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 3: my uncle's capacity for curiosity that he just could not
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 3: believe that khru Chef was the sinister, evil character that
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 3: have been made. That he had to be more multi
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 3: dimensional than that.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been portrayed us honestly, I know we've got
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 2: to get you out of here, and but I wish
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 2: we could. Is that how we want to spend our
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 2: last five minutes? Five? Do we have five to two minutes?
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 2: So we have we have two minutes. I would love
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 2: to have literally two more hours, like just listening and
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 2: sitting and kind of learning about what it's like going
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 2: up as Kennedy, your uncle, your dad, the things they've
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 2: gone through, the things you've gone through, has been amazing.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 2: And I know that with these long form podcasts you
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 2: really believes the new form of media where people get
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 2: to learn different views instead of just the mainstream media.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 2: So people that are listening to you right now for
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 2: the first time, what would be the message that you
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 2: would want to send to them?
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 3: I mean I had to ask them, go look at
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 3: our website at Kennedy twenty four dot com, and don't
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 3: vote out of fear. Don't vote because you think that
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 3: guy is going to end the Republic, So you have
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 3: to vote for your guy or this guy. But if
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 3: Americans vote for Hope, I have the highest favorability rating
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 3: of any candidate who is running, higher than President Trump,
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 3: high than President than Cammel, much higher than either of them.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 3: People voted for the person they want to vote for
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 3: a win. Most Americans now are being taught to vote
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 3: for out of fear. If you if you vote for Bobby,
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 3: it's a wasted vote. So you've got to vote for
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 3: Trump or Biden. And eighty five percent of Americans don't
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 3: want to vote for either. And my job is, you know,
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 3: over the next four months, is to convince people to
