It was one of two stops he made that day. The earlier being in another midwest swing state. Michigan. Think of it. The legions and legions of biden migrants pouring into it we are becoming a thirdworld done terrorism we are actually becoming a thirdworld country. [applause] and its no wonder joe biden and his subs are desperate to stop us. They know we are the only one who is can stop them. Thats why theyre weaponizing law enforcement, high level interference against binds top political opponent. Who does that happen to be . Here i am. I got indictmented more than alphonse capone. I know some of the guys in the front row. Theyre tough guys. If you ever looked at capone, you would be dead more than likely. Alphonse was a tough man. They did a movie called scarface. The fact is, the people understand it. They get it. Its election interference at the highest level. Never happened in our country before. How about fani . Fani . Fan i. Its fani. I called her fani wed. What kind of stuff is this. This was done in conjunction with the white house. The d. A. In manhattan was done in conjunction with the white house. They took people and put them into the d. A. s office. The attorney general today yesterday to be more accurate, i put in a bond, 175 million. I put up a bond. No, but on something where i was not guilty of anything. I did a great job. The banks said hes one of our cherished customers. I boar road money at their request because thats what they do, they lend money. I actually paid it back early. They want to charge me 450 million fine. This was a corrupt judge in fork new york out of control. The fine was lowered substantially. But think of it, i have to put up see, thats money i could have used for the election. This is all election put up 175 million. Nobody ever ever heard of 175 million bond. Honestly, im proud of the fact i dont think theres been 175 million nobody a respond for half a Million Dollar a Million Dollars. A bond isnt for this. And this is what they and they used the statute that was never used before, the Consumer Fraud statute has never been used before. These are corrupt people. There was no no problem. There was no anything. This was like a perfect transaction. Charge me 450 million fine. These are sick people. And we have to we have to go on. And we have to win. And we have to hope the appeals courts are honest because if theyre not honest, this country, ill tell you where are we going . This has been such a blight in new york President Biden turned from tuesdays primary to a health care message on wnesday. He was joined by senator Bernie Sanders of vermont, his onetime va in the 2020 race for the demoat president ial nomination. Cn joined the pair for a Campaign Message since the independent senator is seen to be particularly strong on the issue. Our nation is politically divide. Nobody doubts that. But there is one issue that the American People whether they are republicans, democrats or independents. Whether theyre conservative or progressive are united on. And that is that we are sick and tired of paying by far the highest prices in the world for Prescription Drugs. Despite all of that the Biden Administration and democrats in congress are beginning to make some progress. What have we accomplished over the last several years . As a result of the Inflation Reduction Act that not one single republican voted fors with diabetes are paying no more than 35 a month for the insulin that they need. Beginning next year, and this is a very big deal, seniors will be paying no more than 2,000 a year out of pocket for Prescription Drugs. But let us be clear. Despite all that we have accomplished up to now, it is not enough. Much, much more needs to be done. In the state of the union address, President Biden called on congress to pass legislation to cap outofpocket Prescription Drug cost at no more than 2,000 a year and to substantially increase the number of drug that is can be negotiated with the pharmaceutical industry. I stoppingly agree with them working together. We can take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry and substantially lower the cost of Prescription Drugs in america. And when we do that, we will be lowering the cost of health care in our country. I want to thanking President Biden for what he has done on this issue up to now and i look forward to working with the president as we go forward. Im a capitalist. Capitalism without capitalists is exploitation. When big pharma doesnt play by the rules competitors cant offer lower prices for generic drugs an device that is carry that medication so prices are raised artificially. And folks, all of our progress is in stark con its a to my predecessor and republicans in coverage i love the word they love they want to terminate the Affordable Care act. I love it. Terminate. My predecessor says kicking millions of americans off their health insurance. And the vast majority of these people would not be able to get insurance because they have a preexisting condition. They also want to eliminate the Inflation Reduction Act to lower Prescription Drug prices and so much more. During the last administration, my president my predecessor exploded the National Debt more than any previous president in the history of a fouryear term. He talks about the debt he exploded more than any other president in a fouryear term with his 2 trillion tax cut and overwhelmingly benefit the very wealthy and the biggest corporations in america. Now, he and Congress Want to cut Social Security, raise the age and cut medicare. While they cut taxes for the very wealthy again you know, ive got a better idea, im going to protect Social Security and medicare along with bernie and other members in congress to make sure the wealthy pay their fair share to keep these programs solvent. [applause] trump brag about hes the reason roe v. Wade was overturned. Heres the we come i did something no one thought possible, i got rid of roe v. Wade. Thats a quo and now theyre calling for a ban for the right cho to choose in every state. I promise you, kamala and i will make roe v. Wade the law of the land again, i promise you. Well, we know weve made historic progress. 35 bucks for insulin for seniors. 35 for inhalers for asthma. Hoe tall cap for seniors. Were lowering the drugs on some of the most expensive drugs for seniors. These caps an cost for everyone everyone not just seniors. With bernies help were showing how it should be a right not a privilege in america. Thats why ive never been optimistic. I really mean it. Youve heard me say how optimistic i am optimistic because the laws are coming into effect whether its infrastructure or whether its this. I mean, theres so much more. I just and i said this many times and ill get out of your hair. You know, we have to remember who we are. Were the United States of america. I mean this from the bomb of my heart. Theres nothing beyond our capacity when we do iting to. Were the only nation in the history that i can find thats come out of every crisis weve entered stronger than we went in. We feature interviews with a number of president ial candidate this is week. Next, some of our interviews with authors and president ial candidates Mary Anne Williamson and cornel west and jason palmer. The surprise winner of this years america samoa president ial primary. Youre out of the race. Youre back into the race. What motivated that . I had done very poorly in the electoral bases and what you do in such a cases you say im out. And then i realized that something bigger than the horserace and thats the conversation that the American People need be having. Its about where america is today and the American People having a serious conversation about where we need to go. The political accomplishment is not always the conduit. I knew that the conversation was not over that i was having with the American People. As far as the conversation is what question should the American People be having . Whos running the country . Were not a government for the mean, by the people as Abraham Lincoln should be he said the men who died at gets getiesburg so that the government for the people, by the people would not perish from the earth. Were a government for the corporations. And most people in this town are aware of that. Most political conversations are among the lead. I suppose youve heard them from people like to President Biden does have the delegates why not support him and keep going that way . I believe i supporting the president because i stand for the party needs stand for in order to win. What would a cornel west administration do to change the playing of poor people others have promised or in your case havent delivered yet. Biden has authorized 21 million for bombers. We can abolish poverty with 21 billion. Im an abouo litigationist when it comes to homelessness. I spent some time in los angeles at el serino community garden. I was in skid row with master q in los angeles. Skid row has thousands and thousands of people how can we be the richest nation in the history of the world and have so many poor people . Weve got organized greed in the real estate industry. Organized greed when it comes to healthcare. More and more organized greed. This is what happens when you have organized greed unleashed in a society and a the most vulnerable of those that are most effective. Theres got to be a moral compass whenever it comes to leadership in the country. Thats so true in regard to the genocide the ethnic cleansing and the situation in gaza. We watch it take it place and still enable more billions of dollars allow the military equipment that we produce from our tax money to go to killing and maiming children . 13,000 precious palestinian children and we act as if we can do nothing . This is spiritual sickness, my brother. And thats true for anybody. Red, white, black, red, jewish, ethiopian. But in this case its in gaza. I see it in l. A. , i see it in new york and chicago. We want to congratulate ourselves that somehow the economy is doing so well and were bouncing back. No. We are in a spiritual, moral and political crisis of profound proportion. Anaheim this race because i believe in ideas. And that should be an election about ideas. And so if you go to my website at palmerforpresident. U. S. , youll see were talking about conscious capitalism, the economy, were talking about modernizing government. Im an investor by background. And we really need to pass the torch to the next generation to people who entrepreneurs and move our country into the 21st century. Were overdue for that. How do you keep america samoa from being the High Water Mark of your president ial candidacy . Thats a really good question irene recently, during the first president ial campaign to introduce my new Organization Called together exclamation point. And together will elect 20 people to office this fall. Some democrats and some republicans that bring the country back to the censor. Thats been a big, big part of my message. You live in baltimore, maryland . I do live for baltimore, maryland. Why set your sights on president of the United States . Thats a good question. I actually have a favorite candidate. My own state has a senate race going on and also recently my congressman decided to resign and theres a new Congress Race going on there i actually like the candidates for mayor, senate and congress in maryland. And will support all three of them. You know, its a timing thing. There was not a focus on congressional races back in october, november when i decided to get in the race. And also, honestly if you run for one of the 435 congress seats, people dont notice your message. The ideas are important to get out there. You like your local and state officials. Do you not like joe biden . I do like Joe Biden Joe bind and i agree on 90 of things. But there are a couple of key things where we differ. The federal government is running a massive deficit for many years. Trump and bind administrations. Appear we need to get the federal deficit into balance which i have a plan to do over five years. Im a quaker by background and ive been speak out on gaza since october, november last year that we need to have a ceasefire there we need to work toward the twostate solution, the netanyahu government has been a terrible partner for the United Stateses not just this year but for many years. I noticed the administration changing it. Whats the path forward here . What happens in your mind at the Democratic National convention this sumer . Were still negotiating the details of that but my goal is to give the American People of samoa a voice on stage to share a little bit more about their culture and the issues they care about. There are many territories in the United States that dont get a lot of attention. Puerto rico is probably the most that gets the most attention. The people of puerto rico are overdue for statehood. People in washington, d. C. Are overdue for statehood. Northern marianne action guam and many parts of the United States that dont get enough air time and people dont know that we have these colony that is are now territories all over the world. How many times have you been to American Samoa . That was the Biggest Surprise for people, i have never been there. Also from this weeks washington journal some of our conversation with lee drutman. He talked about the impact of robert f. Kennedy jr. On this race. Its going to be a close election between trump and bind. And kennedy seems to be pretty accidently poling around 10 12 . Probably some of that support will drain as we get closer to the november election. But hes going to be a factor. And a chaos factor because we really dont know whether hes going to take more votes from biden or from trump or bring in some other part of the electorate that typically doesnt vote its creating a high level of uncertainty about what the outcome is going to be this november. When you say hes polling at 10 . What do we know about that . Who are the people that are saying im voting for r. F. K. Jr. . Lets start with the variability. Actually his support averages out to 10 to 12 . Its all over the plasms ive seen him as well as 3 in polls and as high as 22 in polls. So why is his support so all over the place . I think a lot of the pollsters do not know how to capture his supporters because what connects many of his supporters, people who say they would vote for him in polls is that theyre antisystem voters. Hes going to be the sledgehammer. And its a very violent image that hes just going smash everything. Hes going against corporation, against government hes the merge of government in corporations. The entire system is rotten. That is a very violent aggressive approach to governing. And yet, when you l
