Searchlight Pictures presents The Roses, only in theaters August 29th.
00:00:04.980
From the director of Meet the Parents and the writer of Poor Things,
00:00:08.460
comes The Roses, starring Academy Award winner Olivia Colman,
00:00:12.460
Academy Award nominee Benedict Cumberbatch, Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon, and Allison Janney.
00:00:17.820
A hilarious new comedy filled with drama, excitement, and a little bit of hatred,
00:00:22.540
proving that marriage isn't always a bed of roses.
00:00:30.000
When I found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from Winners,
00:00:33.880
I started wondering, is every fabulous item I see from Winners?
00:00:38.640
Like that woman over there with the designer jeans.
00:02:05.280

You are in the litter box with Jules and Cat Turd.
00:02:25.640
So we have decided that we are just going to go ahead and cut right in.
00:02:31.020
Yeah, he's hammering the Democrats I've been watching.
00:02:38.860
There's all kinds of things that are pointing in that direction.
00:02:43.280
So we're going to go ahead and so you don't have to listen to two different shows at one
00:02:51.560
I want everyone to know that I am not terminating my campaign.
00:03:04.460
My name will remain on the ballot in most states.
00:03:09.900
If you live in a blue state, you can vote for me without harming or helping President Trump
00:03:25.520
And if none of you do vote for me, and neither of the major party candidates win 270 votes,
00:03:32.960
In fact, today our polling shows them tying at 269 to 269, and I could conceivably still
00:03:41.880
end up in the White House in a contingent election.
00:03:46.100
But in about 10 battleground states where my presence would be a spoiler, I'm going to
00:03:56.560
And I've already started that process and urge voters not to vote for me.
00:04:00.200
But it's with a sense of victory and not defeat that I'm suspending my campaign activities.
00:04:08.620
Not only did we do the impossible by collecting a million signatures, we changed the national
00:04:17.480
Chronic disease, free speech, government corruption, breaking our addiction to war have moved to
00:04:24.980
I can say to all who have worked so hard the last year and a half, thank you for a job
00:04:34.240
Three great causes drove me to enter this race in the first place primarily.
00:04:39.880
And these are the principal causes that persuaded me to leave the Democratic Party and run as
00:04:47.640
an independent, and now to throw my support to President Trump.
00:04:55.020
The causes were free speech, a war in Ukraine, and the war on our children.
00:05:02.200
I've already described some of my personal experiences and struggles with the government's
00:05:13.640
The military industrial complex has provided us with a familiar comic book justification like
00:05:22.860
That this one is a noble effort to stop a supervillain, Vladimir Putin, invading the Ukraine and
00:05:30.160
then to thwart his Hitler-like march across Europe.
00:05:33.060
In fact, tiny Ukraine is a proxy in a geopolitical struggle initiated by the ambitions of the U.S.
00:05:52.240
But the war is Russia's predictable response to the reckless neocon project of extending NATO
00:06:03.980
The credulous media rarely explained to Americans that we unilaterally walked away from two intermediate
00:06:10.540
nuclear weapons treaties with Russia and then put nuclear-ready Aegis missile systems in
00:06:21.620
The Biden White House repeatedly spurned Russia's offer to settle this war peacefully.
00:06:32.720
The Ukraine war began in 2014 when U.S. agencies overthrew the democratically elected government
00:06:39.000
of Ukraine and installed a hand-picked pro-Western government that launched a deadly civil war
00:06:49.920
In 2019, America walked away from a peace treaty, the Minsk Agreement, that had been negotiated
00:06:56.700
between Russia and Ukraine by European nations.
00:07:04.560
In April of 2022, President Biden sent Boris Johnson to Ukraine to force President Zelenskyy
00:07:12.720
to tear up a peace agreement that he and the Russians had already signed, and the Russians
00:07:17.100
were withdrawing troops from Kiev and Donbass and Lugans.
00:07:22.920
And that peace agreement would have brought peace to the region and would have allowed Donbass
00:07:31.620
President Biden stated that month that his objective in the war was regime change in Russia.
00:07:38.160
His defense secretary, Lloyd Austin, simultaneously explained that America's purpose in the war
00:07:45.000
was to exhaust the Russian army to degrade its capacity to fight anywhere else in the world.
00:07:52.520
These objectives, of course, have nothing to do with what they were telling Americans
00:08:01.020
Ukraine is a victim in this war, and it's a victim of the West.
00:08:05.080
Since then, we have since tearing up that agreement, forcing Zelenskyy to tear up the agreement,
00:08:16.520
we've squandered the flower of Ukrainian youth, as many as 600,000 Ukrainian kids
00:08:23.040
and over 100,000 Russian kids, none of whom, all of whom we should be mourning,
00:08:29.320
have died, and the Ukraine's infrastructure is destroyed.
00:08:35.960
The war has been a disaster for our country as well.
00:08:42.540
and these are badly needed dollars in our communities,
00:08:49.860
The Nord Stream pipeline sabotage and the sanctions have destroyed Europe's industrial base,
00:08:56.380
which formed the bulwark of U.S. national security.
00:08:59.440
A strong Germany with a strong industry is a much, much stronger deterrent to Russia
00:09:06.760
and a Germany that is de-industrialized and turned into just an extension of U.S. military base.
00:09:14.780
We've pushed Russia into a disastrous alliance with China and Iran for closer to the brink of nuclear exchange
00:09:24.340
than at any time since 1962, and the neocons in the White House don't seem to care at all.
00:09:32.000
Our moral authority and our economy are in shambles,
00:09:35.340
and the war gave rise to the emergence of BRICS,
00:09:38.340
which now threatens to replace the dollar as the global reserve currency.
00:09:42.980
This is a first-class calamity for our country.
00:09:48.440
Judging by her bellicose belligerent speech last night in Chicago,
00:09:53.640
we can assume that President Harris will be an enthusiastic advocate for this
00:10:02.500
And President Trump says that he will reopen negotiations with President Putin
00:10:08.460
and end the war overnight as soon as he becomes president.
00:10:12.900
This alone would justify my support for his campaign.
00:10:18.460
Last summer, it looked like no candidate was willing to negotiate a quick end to the Ukraine war,
00:10:24.540
to tackle chronic disease epidemic, to protect free speech,
00:10:28.680
our constitutional freedoms, to clean corporate influence out of our government,
00:10:34.160
or to defy the neocons and their agenda of endless military adventurism.
00:10:39.720
But now one of the two candidates has adopted these issues as his own,
00:10:44.880
to the point where he has asked to enlist me in his administration.
00:10:53.040
Less than two hours after President Trump narrowly escaped assassination,
00:11:06.160
Gali is arguably the leading advocate for food safety, for soil regeneration,
00:11:11.460
and for ending the chronic disease epidemic that is destroying America's health
00:11:17.920
Gali has exposed the insidious corruption at the FDA, the NIH, the HHS,
00:11:29.580
Gali had been working on and off for my campaign,
00:11:32.960
advising me on those subjects since the beginning.
00:11:36.720
And those subjects have been my primary focus for the last 20 years.
00:11:40.880
I was delighted when Gali told me that day that he had also been advising President Trump.
00:11:48.980
He told me President Trump was anxious to talk to me about chronic disease
00:11:52.980
and other subjects, and to explore avenues of cooperation.
00:11:59.440
He asked if I would take a call from the President.
00:12:02.780
President Trump telephoned me a few minutes later,
00:12:08.080
A few weeks later, I met again with President Trump and his family members
00:12:35.380
Suggested that we join forces as a unity party.
00:12:43.960
That arrangement would allow us to disagree publicly and privately,
00:12:54.280
while working together on the existential issues
00:12:59.680
I was a ferocious critic of many of the policies during his first administration,
00:13:07.340
and there are still issues and approaches upon which we continue to have very serious differences.
00:13:17.820
We are aligned with each other on other key issues,
00:13:30.660
unraveling the corporate capture of our regulatory agencies,
00:13:34.920
getting the U.S. intelligence agencies out of the business of propagandizing
00:13:46.880
Following my first discussion with President Trump,
00:13:50.300
I tried unsuccessfully to open similar discussions with Vice President Harris.
00:13:56.880
Vice President Harris declined to meet or even to speak with me.
00:14:02.860
Suspending my candidacy is a hard, horrendous decision for me,
00:14:13.080
that is eroding our nation's vitality from the inside
00:14:20.760
I feel a moral obligation to use this opportunity
00:14:28.940
In case some of you don't realize how dire the condition is
00:14:33.800
of our children's health and chronic disease in general,
00:14:37.340
I would urge you to view Dr. Carlson's recent interview
00:14:42.180
with Callie Means and his sister, Dr. Casey Means,
00:14:45.440
who is the top graduate of her class at Stanford Medical School.
00:14:50.500
This is an issue that affects all of us far more directly
00:15:05.080
Therefore, it has the potential to bring us together.
00:15:09.820
So let me share a little bit about why I believe it's so urgent.
00:15:13.960
Today, two-thirds, we spend more on health care
00:15:17.760
than any country on earth, twice what they pay in Europe,
00:15:34.760
Nobody has a chronic disease burden like we have.
00:15:41.000
we had the highest body count of any country in the world.
00:15:45.900
and we only have 4.2% of the world's population.
00:15:54.500
We have the highest chronic disease rate on earth.
00:16:03.940
So these were people who had immune system collapse,
00:16:30.440
In America, 74% of Americans are now overweight or obese.
00:17:05.580
juvenile diabetes was effectively non-existent.
00:17:08.260
A typical pediatrician would see one case of diabetes
00:17:37.420
There's been an explosion of neurological illnesses
