my name is soren paul i'm 42 years old and i'm speaking from my living room in my house and i could keep marilyn. per 15 years i was a water treatment technician for tricon chemicals but that job and the couple months ago there was a downturn in work. related to the varied 19 prices. and i was not able to retain employees they had let someone go and it was me. we are right now in the most important election. in our history thrilled to be back in the granite state with the true hardworking american patriots last night it was my great honor to accept the republican nomination for president of united states or the. donald trump

you know i'm like the guy i've watched his career since the 1980 s. he's kind of like a figure from pop culture who rose up to become president the united states and you know i mire what he's done i think the hotel business is an honorable business he's not making weapons he's not many other countries in that line of work so i really don't. see it was a bad thing that a billionaire became president of the united states. my name is brian fields i'm 47 years old i'm from washington d.c. and i we're going to grocery store you can bring whatever is growing right now in

the country with a dish. what would you call it and what other greetings. nothing edible it's not edible whatever it is it's nothing that we that that we want to eat will defeat donald trump will defeat or no i don't there's no real there's no choice. definitely was he was one of my least favorite of all the candidates but and before covert i thought he was one of the least electable but actually now he's . now i go i think i think biden is going to win i think the country is just had it like but there's people who voted for trump but they know he's a moron. ad which was fine until the world fell apart but there's enough of the electorate who who are are on board with with troops but not now in the middle of a pandemic when he's telling people to you know inhalable each shouldn't and i

support the holiday it's just i mean it's clear that he is a war i've always been a fan a troll i knew who he was when i was 13 or 14 years old and wanted to be photographed next to his building we back then well i don't have any clear competitive options there is there is no one that has a campaign anywhere close to his. and you will i mean by no weighed by who finds old men he's doesn't have the energy of a. barely strong his son since the. far government's ability to respond effectively has been undermined far hollowing out our agencies and disparagement of science. to drive a global response to dramatically dramatic are going to crush by the damage trump has done to our credibility and our relationships around the world.

and he was valerie durham i am a conference or actor for. the conference out in las vegas that happens every year and i'm also a dancer. i live outside of washington d.c. . talking about the election just saying it's been years now since i felt like the 4th of july dependents day celebration is actually a celebration of. i prefer to wear black and stick instead of red white and blue because i feel like we've gotten off track from. where we are need to be in terms of freedom. so when i'm looking at this year's presidential the 2 main presidential choices and frankly quite horrified. i feel like what is wrong with us as american citizens and i hate to be brought to

top us by we have a quick grabber and a pedophile. we have a bombastic wind bag and a bumbling fool who has lived in plagiarised prison tire career and someone else who has bankrupted and corrupted his entire career cheated their balls liars and cheats they're both old white men who are just about themselves and i think that's really cathartic but the one of the 2 of them is going to be president i fostered 0 inspiration to me in the future of this country it's terrifying yeah yeah. yeah. i get. people are pretty quick to be judging the days they don't really hear people and you sit there on friend but more of a blog and especially on social media i was friends because i

support in trying to help people and friends break up with. relationships i was a. second wife. she can handle it. she and i divorced because trump was a letter to the president and i voted for him and she couldn't stand for. i would vote for a republican i would vote for anyone who is not and has half a brain. i feel like the 2 party system is incredibly detrimental to the health of our democracy personally i'm a libertarian identifies a libertarian i'm a member of maryland libertarian party and i see how the 2 parties have become so rancorous and so power hungry equally on both sides they

just want power and you see our leaders not doing not working together not trying to find solutions because they just want power so they want to blame the other side and try to get political clouds. and i think this is a huge problem and they actually feed into each other but over the week the democrats held the darkest. convention in american history they added to that how we have a corporate culture that has superseded the idea of true free market capitalism and it's become crony corporatism where these large corporations. tap into the growth of power that we have seen in government our government spends to be a limited government based on constitutional rights and limited powers and we have only seen the burgeoning of governmental power and as a result you have businesses and corporations that feel like they have to lobby in

order to get favor with these government officials leaders politicians bureaucrats who have so much power that we freedom of all americans so under attack regardless of race religion or creed. being on the rise to all of. so it gets a little thick through here the 1st perjury i watch for briar's and stuff. there's. a few this american flag here to remind myself that these gun rights are an american right and firing ranges open

guns has been one of my more recent hobbies i got my handgun permit from the state of maryland at the beginning of 2020. so yeah it was like january permanent february 1st. march 2nd and grow 3rd may 4th so i'm just taking advantage of the one gun a month law well when i lost my job in june so there was no june. i think if the police get defunded too much it will have an adverse consequence on crime and crime and very well. that's the reason i have

a gun from what i understand these gun sales are at record high right now. after these riots and. the virus shut. people are feeling insecure and me when i take their security into their own hands and that's what getting a firearm for years your personal defense means. that i believe that freedom of speech is energetic i believe african bill. i believe our freedom to peacefully assemble is under attack our freedom to move about with our civil liberties is under attack i mean we can go through the whole list ever since 911 in the name of counterterrorism the liberty of all people has been under attack. i think that my great great great great great great great great grandfather benjamin franklin. would be. very discouraged 5 the state of the country at this point i feel like we are victims of our own

success and we feel entitled to a lot of things and willing to give up the rights that we have. you know. my ancestors the chinese my bacon proud to have probably said i didn't deal with all that being the one being savage and i don't want joint training looks like the only difference is on my hands i would sit back trying to project i'm really honored we could not use violence and yet that's exactly what you all her parents to do the black flies matter and is that going to have an effect on. the outcome of the election whether that helps or hurts donald trump is why we have elections we've got to go through the process and find out you know polls are inaccurate people are always forthright with their answers you have to go through the election to find out.

a lot of people are concerned about lawlessness and taking out these bad shoes without the proper procedure and legal means you know people are sometimes getting hurt when the statue falls over you know that's not the right way to take a statue people see a general atmosphere of lawlessness if that's happening all over the country in every major town that could very well help the donaldson thanks i don't know. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in

the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. tightly. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallowness. as the u.s. economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the land of opportunity the reality of it is we're not financially equality and the lack of affordable housing for a living minimum wage gave many people no choice you know there's been

a problem with the city knows turn every turn and told me stay away oh miss colton consider that there is no answer because yes the records resource the most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become the invisible comes. become a battleground in the us. people are demanding the shut down of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous nuclear power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limits this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is or how or lie with the people this case

demonstrates that struggle is very real ways now a struggle on r.t. . and i will also apologize for the fact that i will never understand the black experience in this country i will not i can't that is the fact i can't advice i'm sorry that's just to feel what i can say is i'm trying to understand the black experience in. this country i'm trying to spread that i understand. that some people are not you are a catalyst to change your people so we need just support. we need you to tell your kids what they are we need to do that so their kids their kids if you're still here i don't need you to tell them. you don't think that hopefully your kids tell their

to go up and so we will have done you know i was growing up in the in the eighty's we had gone through the civil rights era and it was being be normalized like you're not you're should not be racist and you know back in the fifty's there was crazy stuff with normalized horrible stuff so just as just as aggression towards towards non-whites was being sort of the normalized in the last few decades aggression towards whites has been normalize so people some people on the left or right especially people who sort of support this you know will try to make it like some sort of like historical balance like wow you know you can't compare you know you know some they progression nowadays versus hundreds of years of of imperialism and rape and murder and torture no of course you can't that's not

that's not the point of point is we want to move forward and we want to live in a society where everyone is valued as a human being and this sort of anti way tribalism which is normalized it's not moving us forward towards that and it's creating a backlash. racist can be any color there is black racists there is white races there is. race and i went to a mostly black high school. and i remember getting stones thrown at my head by various and. things happen like it's not just one thing racism these will take someone's heart turns it against their own and then.

there's a lot of chaos and conflict and there's whatever there was a cohesion way back in time even if it was of. a cohesion that had. evil inside of it and now it's all blown apart and we're trying to find a way to come together. the 2 things i think are the most important things to fix are making education fully subsidized and ending the drug war. supposedly every year there's $100000000000.00 underground economy for people born in the poverty a lot of them look to that $100000000000.00 economy as their way to make money that needs to in those people need to be given an opportunity to see a future for themselves in the above board economy and in be able to get education and training to be part of that. but the problem with student loans

is that they make them very easy to get at all so you couple that with this push that everyone needs to get a college degree you finish high school and you automatically go to college that white collar you know training this is the only worthwhile career ok that's hogwash and people should be going to vocational school and you know different conservatories are just going off and working and pursuing their own ambitions but when you push people to go to college and then you give them this mechanism to take on massive amounts of debt this is why we've seen this dramatic rise in tuition costs because as soon as you disincentive eyes your concern about costs then that incentivizes these academic institutions to raise their rate there's no pressure because you're not actually paying you're just taking on the stat with its expectation that you're going to pay it back over time i think that would probably

be. a good use of facts care payer money from scholarships. and ability but you don't want to. send good money after a bad problem when it's just not going to help not everyone can benefit from a college education not everyone's cut out for that kind of school and we shouldn't send people that aren't ready to college i don't think everyone deserves a college education for free and it's me and my dad and my mom and my sister who are on a camping trip. here's a picture from 19. of my grandmother on. my father's mother. and the idea of the american dream for a while now is really that anyone. for you know any family or any place. they work

hard to. have a. stable home and raise a family that accumulates. well you know what i mean well feel just enough to be stable to own their own home and. set on to their children she will hear on t.v. or on the internet who studies which claim this generation is the 1st american generation . who goes how long that is going to be economically worse off than their parents for which i guess modern american history is not. you know it's interesting how i was raised by parents started with nothing. backgrounds where they didn't have a lot to begin with except their own brains and they really have. started

a business. they were able my dad went to graduate school my mom went to graduate school they have. really succeeded and i feel like their generation was the last generation where that was more ubiquitous that people . really come from nothing and i feel like folks who are born in america now it's much more difficult to live that american dream because the expectations are so much higher going to college is incredibly expensive and it's not it's almost not optional it's like you have to go to college and you have to amass this none of this massive amount of debt. i think housing is so much more expensive so if you buy a house the property taxes are super high all of the liabilities that are involved the costs that are involved the idea of being able to take care of yourself. on

especially on a one person income it's just not possible anymore so everybody's working having to work over time this picture was taken before youngest sister was born but as you can see we were. nuclear family or the country. the same or a little diminished. from. and francis on family values you know it's like now you choose your family you know you your friends or your family and your real family is like you know people you argue politics with and you don't really care about they're like the enemy. people people . get a strange from their family their family values are downhill right now. i should put you know good at it that would happen. did you do you do it or i did those well . what's the 3rd part 3rd part is don't trash in my back my backyard.

or a trash in my back in my backyard my backyard full my back here mom that's very true you know we have a debt problem in this country. i don't even think we have a strong enough word for the level of immorality that our leaders have gotten us into this mess and we are so in debt to other countries in this world we're so in debt to ourselves and if we have any kind of find significant financial crisis and we've gotten there close with the 20008. and a few of these other things that we cannot keep this boat afloat and i think this great empire that we have created because of this massive amount of debt is. one crisis away just one set of domino effects away from a scene of depression that we've never seen before.

so i started thinking about food in the. after september 11th 2001 terrorism attacks on our country. and a lot of people are people sick it is now because of the go dude 19 thing that's another good reason things just seem very uncertain these days you know the traditions of the past are no longer. for a huge number of americans are flocking to the this insane can scarcely theory whether it's like or whether it's q anon which claims that the world is run by say 10 eyck pedophiles who drink the blood of children to get a drug called adrenal. and that these say tannic pedophiles i happen to be

hollywood elites and democratic politicians and that somehow they have so much power. that the combined forces of the us government and the f.b.i. and the army can't touch that. were added impossible point i've never i've been following politics since i was a child and now lives in cities like this has gotten to a point where people are so divided in their camps that they are more willing to believe insanity about sate panic reptilian pedophiles with a mood base then they are trying to compromise when they try to listen to their opponents in light understand where other people are coming from.

secure to $24.00 the reptilians manipulate humanity from the mood and also of underground bases on earth in mars. it's right there. do your research. as i mentioned before the american people have become used to success and they don't really want to give anything up to what it really requires is for all of us to really challenge our beliefs of what's essential and what's not essential who defines what century. and are you willing to say foreign aid is no longer essential are you willing to say welfare is no longer essential and you willing to say social security is no longer essential how much are you willing to go down to the bone in order to fix the fact that we just said let's just print money let's just borrow

money. pushing that rock that day of reckoning down the road how much are we really willing to understand the danger and i don't think people really want to think about that you know. they want to. speak. up really concentrate on the realness of life.

ok let's just say that the catalyst of all the focus. of what. i call the. clear we hope will be but there are also friends that the us are still so but they're still hoping to do something this year. for sure. they value about what was at the alamo bowl and i was there with a lot of that you know. i

. the top stories this hour. the reporter the global chemical weapons the russian opposition figure. was poisoned with a north nerve agent says it's all about bringing in a new round of sanctions. its purpose is obvious denigrate russia with unsubstantiated accusations and thereby create a far fetched reason for introducing another tranche of sanctions against our country meanwhile the former chief. stan lee has been barred from speaking at the u.n. security council about a controversial probe internet alleged 20th chemical attack in syria. from the russian side. on the way the pride like the olympics us high would be.
