Reaction & Commentary
Donald Trump trump they see him as the solution to America’s problems they see him as the Great Swamp drainer it seems you have occupied varying positions on Trump at various times um where are you on Donald Trump now and particularly perhaps how that relates to the emergence of radical anti-establishment figures within the
Democrat Party nobody RFK uh where am I on Trump now why I love Trump um personally I you know I think looking back on this 10 years from now assuming we’re still around uh I think we’re gonna see Trump’s emergence as as the most significant thing to happen in American
Politics in 100 years because he reoriented the Republican Party um against the wishes of Republican leaders uh but when I think about Trump right now so it’s July of 2023 you know I’m struck by his foreign policy views you know Trump is the only person um with stature and the Republican Party really
Who’s saying wait a second you know why are we supporting an endless war in Ukraine and that you know leaving aside whether Trump’s going to get the nomination or get elected president or would be a good president you know I can’t even assess that all I can say at this point is I’m
So grateful that he has that position he’s right and everyone in Washington is wrong everyone and Trump is right on that question and it’s a big question and Trump alone among popular figures in both parties understands that and I’m grateful for whether he gets the nomination or gets
Elected you know words really matter saying something true out loud matters and he is saying true things about Ukraine and God bless him for democracy that’s my favorite it’s for democracy okay say the people who hate democracy um he said I’ve got seven children and they
All love me I don’t care wow and I thought though okay you want us to distill my values into a sentence that’s the sentence so I I really admire him I don’t agree with him on everything I do agree with him let’s be honest on most things on the big things yeah um
And so no I I love what he’s doing I love his bravery uh which is just remarkable the amount that man has suffered for what he thinks is true everywhere you and I most plainly and overtly align perhaps other than the believing God I suppose is our deep understanding that the
Military-industrial complex and big Pharma are able to exert significant power over the Democratic party a democratic process that renders ordinary electoral politics basically meaningless yes things one the United States has had precisely in 250 years almost one populist president and that was Teddy Roosevelt the most also the most popular precedent in
American history who was president from 1901 president was who he served as VP was was shot to death uh until 1908. most popular president United States ever had and he was a populist the two biggest populist figures in the moment are Trump and Bobby Jr and then we had a
Guy called Ross Perot run about 30 years ago who roughly the same politics all four of those figures had one thing in common they were all from the world they criticized populists are the ones who critique from the inside and say I grew up in this world Teddy Roosevelt grew up rich of
Course I in New York Trump Perot Bobby I mean Bobby Kennedy’s family is the most Fame one of the most famous families in the world in modern history the Kennedys and certainly the most famous family in Democratic politics so these are people who know how the system works because they’ve
Benefited from the system and so their critique is much more meaningful and much more effective I would say because they can bear witness to what they have seen I think Trump has changed politics in Washington I think the parties both have been very resistant to any kind of
Reform and that’s very foolish that’s a chachesco move you see things changing around you and you just you can’t metabolize it you can’t sort of change with the moment and then you you know you meet a bad end when you become that rigid that Bobby Kennedy and
Trump will both have a very tough time getting the nomination I’m hoping that both of them will of course I guess uh I’m hoping that their message will be heard I don’t know I don’t even know what I hope for in the process itself but I want them to be
Heard and they can now be heard because there are channels of information that people can tune into and listen I mean I would just I would just I would amend one thing you said when you said that you know these huge multinationals control our politics Will
They also control our media yeah they do I mean Pharma as you well know and often say on your show is the biggest Advertiser on American television probably true in the UK as well and so you know there’s no incentive whatsoever to question their products and now we have because of these social
Media companies Twitter and Rumble and probably others we have less filtered sources of information with fewer Gatekeepers and a higher probability you’ll hear something true I think that’s a huge change I mean how can you and this is like Samus dot this is like you know this is like information that
The people in charge don’t want you to see and now you can see it it really is the promise of the internet finally fulfilled
