Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

And he brought this issue up to me and he said, you know, they're always telling me I'm for Project 2025. I never read Project 2025 until they started accusing me of it. He said, that was written by a right-wing asshole, is what he said. He said, there are left-wing assholes, and there are right-wing assholes, and it was a right-wing asshole who wrote that thing.

And then he started going through it. So, you know, I think there's a lot. And I think he's interested in his legacy now. He wants to leave behind... some accomplishments. And he wants to make our country better. And I think he's, you know, he's listening to a wider range of voices and he's preparing to govern right now.

And, you know, I'm going to be on the transition committee picking the people who are going to govern Tulsi's gonna be, there's gonna be a wide diversity of stakeholders, but he's listening to more than just that kind of narrow right-wing band that people are terrified of.

Can I respond to the other part of David's question? Sure. I think, to me, the most troubling thing about what's happening now, you've had two Democratic candidates who've not been able to give unscripted interviews, which is extraordinary.

My father and uncle were so proud of the United States, our capacity to engage in debate, to defend who we were in the world, to defend a vision of our country, to articulate it to the rest of the world, to be the leaders of the free world. and have a command of the facts and of knowledge and to be eloquent. And how can you be a leader in the world?

What does the rest of the world think of us right now? I mean, what could they possibly think? We have two Democratic Party candidates who are not able to explain themselves in an interview. Bill Maris said the other day something really, I think, poignant, which is if you want the job of handling the nuclear code, you've got to do an interview first.

And how can you go 30, 39 days without talking to the press, without being able to defend your record, to explain who you are to the American people? And if you talk to Democrats about this, And you can get past the anger and past the vitriol and this kind of wall of tribal resistance to any new knowledge coming in or any contrary facts.

What they'll say is, well, we're not really voting for Kamala. We're voting for the apparatus. And you ask the next question. Yeah. Has that apparatus served you? Has the open border served you? Has the $35 trillion debt served you? Has the endless wars served you? Has the destruction of the American middle class? Highest inflation rate in a generation.

Has any of that actually, you know, has that apparatus produced something for the United States that you're so proud of that you want to blindly vote without knowing who you're voting for?

I would say, well, there's so many things that I love about the country. You know, the landscapes and the waterways and the people, et cetera, but on the kind of a... You know, the higher level, you know, people argue about whether we're an exemplary nation. And that term has been given a bad name, particularly by the neocons, the actions of the neocons in recent decades who...

have turned that phrase into kind of a justification for forcing people to adopt American systems or values at the barrel of a gun. But my father and uncle used it in a very different way, and they were very proud of it. I grew up very proud of this country because we were the exemplary nation in the sense that we were an example of democracy all over the world.

When we first launched our democracy in 1780, we were the only democracy on earth. And by the Civil War, by 1865, there were six democracies. Today, there's probably 190. And all of them, in one way or another, are modeled on the American experience. And it's kind of extraordinary because sort of our first contact with – our first serious and sustained contact –
