00:01:27.000Joining us now is Dr. Brett Weinstein, host of the Dark Horse podcast and a professor in exile, and Angela McArdle, chair of the Libertarian National Committee.
00:01:38.000Dr. Weinstein, I want to start with you.
00:01:40.000I've been an admirer of yours for many years, and you might not know this, but your original Commentary and courage on the COVID vaccine really piqued my curiosity and interest, and it inspired me to speak out at a similar period of time.
00:01:55.000It was, I think, four years ago, three or three and a half years ago, with Dr. Malone, and it was seen around the world, and I think taken down at the time.
00:02:03.000So thank you, and welcome to the program.
00:02:25.000Angela, please introduce yourself to our audience.
00:02:27.000You are the chair of the Libertarian National Committee, and we have a really good, really important announcement here about joining the resistance.
00:02:36.000You did host Donald Trump, so introduce yourself please to the audience.
00:02:41.000So I chair the National Libertarian Party.
00:02:44.000We are the third largest political party in the United States.
00:02:47.000We are all about freedom and individual rights.
00:02:50.000We made some headlines and upset some people in May at our national convention by hosting former President Donald Trump and also presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
00:03:29.000Well, I don't want to scare your audience, but I'm still very much a man of the left.
00:03:33.000I believe those principles are important.
00:03:36.000And I, you know, frankly, I think we liberals need conservatives to keep our worst impulses in check and vice versa.
00:03:44.000I see our system is working best when we have people speaking against the impulse to be overly enthusiastic about Problem solving and we need people to envision what we could do better.
00:03:59.000So I see the American project as one of teamwork.
00:04:04.000But yes, I still hold to those values.
00:04:06.000I do not, however, find anything redeeming about the modern Democratic Party.
00:04:14.000It seems to have abandoned every principle that it once stood for, and I'm embarrassed by that.
00:04:20.000This is a party I have belonged to, but I see a major priority for all patriotic Americans in defeating what I call the blue team in November.
00:04:32.000I love that, and I want to make sure I'm clear with the distinction.
00:04:46.000I believe that liberty is the only value that is safe to maximize.
00:04:52.000There are many values that compete with each other.
00:04:54.000The only one that we are safe to pursue without concern is liberty because In order to have liberty, you have to solve other problems.
00:05:03.000So liberty, if we focus on it together as conservatives, as liberals, and we think about what it means to be free and why it benefits humanity to liberate as many people as fully as possible.
00:05:17.000Then we end up doing our job as conservatives, as liberals, as libertarians.
00:05:22.000It's really where we should be focused.
00:05:41.000I mean, I think that we're sort of at a turning point in the country and the broader Western world, culturally, politically, and spiritually.
00:05:48.000And, you know, I watched the show that you had yesterday with James Lindsay on, and he talks about, you know, values being subverted, you know.
00:05:58.000Maybe it's just a subversion of compassion and that those sort of values have been hijacked by Marxists, by global financial elites, by what we are sort of calling the broader like industrial complex umbrella.
00:06:13.000But our our civil liberties, our individual rights are being grossly eroded.
00:06:20.000And I think that we've got to reclaim them and we need to do it in a very public facing way.
00:06:24.000And I think that it's very important to do that right before the election.
00:06:28.000And I think that it's very important for this to be a unifying movement, that it's not just exclusively right wing, it's dissident left wing.
00:06:35.000So like people on the left who spoke out against COVID and lockdowns, people on the left who are who are wise to the financial schemes that are happening, they're speaking out against the Federal Reserve, against central bank digital currency, right?
00:06:48.000Libertarians, conservatives who don't want to see wars for empire destroy what's so great about America and the West.
00:06:57.000We've got to come together and that's what we're doing.
00:07:09.000And I think 95% of the country, I'd say 90% would agree with them.
00:07:14.000How did you come about the non-negotiables?
00:07:16.000Because I'm sure that you started with 20 and you whittled it down to 15.
00:07:20.000I want to go through all of them, but we have all hour.
00:07:22.000Tell us, how did you eventually come to this list?
00:07:25.000Well actually you know the funny thing is Angela and Matt our other founder and myself spent a lot of time in discussion about what the Republic is founded upon.
00:07:39.000What are the principles that matter and that we have watched eroded and in many cases inverted by those currently in power.
00:07:51.000You know, it wasn't it wasn't as difficult to process as you might imagine.
00:07:56.000The fact is, this is not the fine details about how you govern a republic like the United States may be tough, but the values on which it is founded are not.
00:08:11.000This is really a country founded on the idea that we want a level playing field.
00:08:18.000We do not want To distribute the productivity evenly.
00:08:23.000That's actually a recipe for disaster.
00:08:25.000But we want opportunity distributed as evenly as possible so everybody has access to the market.
00:08:31.000And then we want people to figure out how it is that they can become enriched by generating wealth from which we all benefit.
00:08:39.000And, you know, what allows you to do that?
00:08:42.000The ability to discuss freely and the ability to To engage in unfettered interaction with other people, irrespective of their race or background.
00:08:56.000It's a relatively simple and straightforward proposal, and we've gotten farther and farther from it.
00:09:04.000In fact, we've watched the Democratic Party go from the leader in the battle for civil rights to the home of this new kind of revived racism.
00:09:18.000It's very upsetting to see the inversion of so many of these values in real time.
00:09:56.000I mean, the war in Ukraine is a classic example.
00:09:58.000They were literally talking about exporting democracy to another country while they are giving Giving our money, United States taxpayer dollars, when we were in a horrible recession and all experiencing inflation, to another country, which was basically forcing Ukraine's young men to be conscripted and put through the meat grinder of war in an unwinnable war.
00:10:22.000It was like war was their first option.
00:10:25.000They actively tanked diplomatic relations and attempts to negotiate.
00:10:31.000And that's just the complete inverse of what we need.
00:10:34.000War should always be the literal last resort.
00:10:37.000We should always try to de-escalate and save people's lives.
00:10:41.000Not only is war the first result of this current regime, war is the purpose.
00:10:45.000They go around trying to start wars that are completely unnecessary.
00:10:48.000It is the life force of this illegitimate oligarchy that we're living under.
00:10:55.000Hey, this is Charlie Kirk, and I know a lot of you have been suffering under the Biden economy.
00:10:59.000Recently, school loan payments have been reinstated, and for many, it's adding thousands to their monthly expenses.
00:11:05.000My friends, Andrew Del Rey and Todd Avakian, they're amazing.
00:11:07.000They really helped me through a tough, tough situation recently.
00:12:09.000So Brett, on the warmongering issue, the traditional breakdown of American political parties is that the anti-war fervor, at least in the country I grew up in, late 1990s, early 2000s, was housed on the left.
00:12:22.000The ones that were against the Patriot Act, against the war in Iraq.
00:12:25.000And now it seems that is largely eliminated in the Democrat Party.
00:12:29.000I mean, there are some voices, but it's almost completely gone.
00:12:31.000What are we to make of that the credible anti-war voices are now in the Republican Party?
00:12:39.000Yeah, it's a shocking state of affairs and one I would never have predicted from the world I grew up in or was a young adult in, but I have to say the Democratic Party has become beyond enthusiastic for conflict and it often fails to articulate any reason that the American public should want to finance these things or put up with the massive danger that it Creates for us.
00:13:05.000And, you know, I think we got a pretty good demonstration of what the result of this fervor does.
00:13:12.000The Taliban yesterday put on quite an impressive show with a lot of military machinery that we left behind in Afghanistan during our completely uncoordinated withdrawal.
00:13:27.000So, you know, it's not a big stretch to imagine That the Democratic Party has been captured by forces that do not have the interests of the citizens of the Republic in mind and are willing to spend us into oblivion and put us in grave danger in order to make a profit.
00:13:52.000How did that happen and why did that happen?
00:13:54.000How did the Democrat Party learn to love war and become an imperialist, almost colonialist party I don't think it's anything that coherent.
00:14:02.000Is it because they hated Trump so much that anything he said that we must oppose?
00:14:07.000Or is it just more of they're at the core of their status and the ultimate form of state
00:15:00.000Well, it's like a it's a it's a lockstep hive mind.
00:15:06.000And, you know, that presents them with certain advantages when it comes to election season.
00:15:10.000Like they will all get on board with whatever it is.
00:15:13.000Unfortunately, that means that they all get on board with wars for empire as well.
00:15:17.000I think that you're also seeing sort of this brutalist nanny state culture being exported overseas.
00:15:24.000And that is now extended into foreign policy that we are going to fight this war for your own good, whether you like it or not.
00:15:33.000Oh, you know, young men are trying to escape over the Ukrainian border so that they don't get drafted into fighting a war that they don't agree with and know that they won't survive.
00:15:42.000Well, that's too bad because here comes America to save you slash shove you onto the front lines.
00:15:49.000And there's no there's no room in progressive culture for dissent.
00:15:54.000And so they just don't, you know, because you found out during COVID that if you dissent and if you don't toe the line, you become unpersoned.
00:16:29.000Well, I think what your audience needs to know is that at the end of World War II, the Allies literally hanged seven doctors for violating a right to informed consent that had not yet been inscribed into our collective code.
00:16:49.000You have a right To know what it is that you will be taking and to decide whether or not you want it.
00:16:55.000And as we all saw during COVID, we had remedies shoved down our throats.
00:17:01.000People were coerced and strong-armed into taking what was described as vaccines but were actually gene therapies, transfection agents.
00:17:11.000Highly experimental with completely unknown safety profile.
00:17:16.000And we were told that this was simply the mechanism that was required in order to get us out of what was called the COVID pandemic.
00:17:25.000Doctors were forbidden to explore alternative remedies.
00:17:31.000The censorship that went into preventing people from discovering how much danger they were being Put in with the mandated protocols and what alternatives might have existed was absolutely jaw-dropping especially in a nation where we have where our first Enumerated right in the Constitution is the right to speak freely even scientists and doctors were Were gagged so that we couldn't speak openly you mentioned at the beginning my podcast with Robert Malone, which was a game took down and
00:18:06.000Yeah, it was a game-changing podcast, but a lot of people who might have benefited from it didn't get to see it because YouTube decided that they were entitled to silence the literal inventor of mRNA vaccine technology.
00:18:21.000Who spoke up on my podcast and said this stuff is not safe.
00:18:27.000So informed consent is your right to know what is in the remedies and to decide whether or not you want them and it is beyond a legal right.
00:18:37.000It is a sacred component of the relationship between doctor and patient and it has been absolutely obliterated.
00:18:58.000I'm just going from memory, like March, April, right?
00:19:01.000And I remember that in the podcast, it started with you either, I think it was you said, yeah, I was talking to a carpenter and he said that his sister dropped dead after the vaccine.
00:19:10.000It was anecdotal and then you ran the equation that there's no way that this is happening, not happening at scale.
00:19:15.000You had two people in your circle that had an adverse event.
00:19:24.000But it was clear, even then, that the rate of anomalies that an average person would know about from their own circle, even before, you know, the population was so highly inoculated, was alarming.
00:19:42.000That evidence that there was this incredible pattern of serious adverse events showed up immediately in the one system we have which is set up to track that pattern and yet it triggered no alarm in official channels and it triggered censorship from those of us who were privately alarmed at these patterns.
00:20:04.000So this must not be allowed to happen again and we are going to have to figure out how Since this administration will not do it, the next administration can look at what took place during COVID from the lab leak through the mandated so-called vaccines and the slandering of off-patent drugs that turned out to be highly useful for treating this.
00:20:32.000We need to get to the bottom of what happened because a lot of people were needlessly harmed.
00:20:37.000Really quick, Angela, you know, right now they make a big deal running television commercials that people should be able to have autonomy with their own bodies when it comes to the issue of abortion, but it seems when it came to mandatory vaccines, you don't have bodily autonomy, nor do you have informed consent.
00:20:57.000It's about erasing your ability to make decisions for yourself, destroying any sovereignty, I think, that you have over your body and pushing a particular agenda.
00:21:07.000It's okay to snuff out life, but heaven forbid you try to protect your own.
00:21:12.000I think that's really what it's about.
00:21:15.000And especially, again, we were able to see who the real frauds were when you had organizations that will run hundreds of millions of dollars of ads like Planned Parenthood on about bodily autonomy, regardless how you feel on the issue of abortion.
00:21:27.000And then they said, oh, you better take the vaccine.
00:21:28.000If not, we're going to fire you and kick you out of the military.
00:21:31.000So, yeah, maybe it's not actually about bodily autonomy.
00:21:32.000Maybe it's about something completely, fundamentally different.
00:21:58.000Can you give us some examples of exactly some of the more egregious offenders of this non-negotiable?
00:22:05.000Okay, a very recent one that I think all of your listeners are going to be able to relate to was the Twitter files.
00:22:12.000Government agencies weaponizing social media.
00:22:16.000Basically turning them into propaganda arms of the regime and deciding who gets to say what in the public square, suppressing other information and building a narrative.
00:22:25.000It was, you know, corporatism, which is basically fascism.
00:22:53.000Brett, you kind of see this, I mean it's a cliche, but it's Orwellian.
00:22:58.000It is the smaller citizen, the smaller the person type of theme and pattern we see here.
00:23:04.000And what the non-negotiable is saying here, which is not a political statement, is that we believe that the citizen is sovereign, and that you as the Leviathan do not have a right to be able to tell me what to do with my body without telling me what it is, and I agree to it.
00:23:18.000You're not able to spy on my text messages, and you're certainly not Allowed to call the Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation and interfere with our elections.
00:23:27.000Well, I think you hint at the real issue here.
00:23:34.000We are obviously going to talk about politics because that is the route to governance, be it good or bad.
00:23:41.000But all you have to be to support these planks is a patriot who is interested in the long-term well-being of the republic and its citizens.
00:23:52.000So, I think if your listeners will take a look at what we've put together, they will understand there's a reason that they are seeing people coming together, people who might have ideological differences.
00:24:07.000Angela and I have ideological differences, but they literally do not matter.
00:24:11.000The Republic is actually in serious jeopardy.
00:24:44.000There is really no reason that A patriot from the left and a patriot from the right should be in conflict at all because the ship is sinking.
00:25:03.000I can't believe that I find myself saying this as somebody who has been a member of that party for my entire adult life, but it has become A threat to the Republic.
00:25:21.000And the analogy that I would use, I hope people will take it seriously, is that the Democratic Party is a bit like the family dog who has contracted rabies.
00:25:32.000It doesn't matter that you have a history You have nostalgia over the dog.
00:25:38.000At the point your dog has caught rabies, there's nothing to be done for it.
00:25:41.000It's in everybody's interest to put the dog down.
00:25:45.000And we are definitely going to need a second political party in the U.S.
00:25:53.000But the Democratic Party has demonstrated that it is willing to betray every important ideal that the country is founded on, and that is simply unacceptable.
00:26:02.000And I think it's beautiful that at this rally you could have somebody who is a Trump supporter or is a libertarian and somebody that is maybe even has tendencies towards Bernie Sanders policies, but they don't they find no agreement in the current composition of the Democrat Party.
00:26:25.000We had last month saving babies with preborn by providing ultrasounds.
00:26:29.000And we're doing again this year what we did last year.
00:26:32.000We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.
00:26:37.000As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, and we're not going to do nothing.
00:26:43.000Your gift to preborn will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.
00:28:35.000Uh, Helodomor Harris, as I'm calling her right now, the, the woman who wants to set up Price caps and avoid price gouging on food, you know, that we've got, we've got a very serious enemy right now.
00:28:48.000You know, there's a whole apparatus behind it, which is what we're really trying to address with this event is identifying what are the pillars?
00:28:57.000What are these like umbrella industrial complexes?
00:29:33.000And he's he's if he can make it happen, he will be there.
00:29:37.000So this is not a Red is obviously more than welcome as are blue voters.
00:29:47.000In fact, we would encourage them to come.
00:29:48.000We want them to wake up and to recognize that their well-being as much as ours depends on rescuing the Republic.
00:29:58.000So we want them to join the resistance.
00:30:00.000But the fact that this goes beyond politics Really suggest something for each of us.
00:30:06.000We have a limited amount of time before the election.
00:30:10.000In fact, early voting starts pretty soon.
00:30:13.000You should play whatever cards you have to their best effect to achieve the top priority, which is making sure that the thing that has captured our republic is ushered out the door once and for all.
00:30:27.000I love the rabies analogy when you say that metaphor, which is completely true because people say, but I love this dog and this dog was with Obama and I have good memory.
00:30:39.000There's something outside that has consumed your dog.
00:30:42.000And by the way, I love it even greater because rabies makes any being that is consumed by it become completely unhinged, crazy and out of control.
00:30:56.000To this party and for anybody who thinks that this is an exaggeration.
00:31:00.000I just want you to stop and consider the fact that we apparently had A sitting vice president threatened the president with the 25th Amendment if he did not step out of the political race and then not invoke the 25th Amendment because he's actually mentally incapable of doing the very important job of answering the phone, for example, if there is what seems like a nuclear attack.
00:31:28.000Whatever the Democratic Party has become, Is willing to allow months to pass in which nobody can credibly tell you who's in charge.
00:31:37.000Whatever it is that's in charge can't be called in front of Congress and asked questions.
00:31:42.000It can't be held responsible for errors that it makes.
00:31:44.000This is completely outside the style of government that was envisioned by the American founders.
00:31:50.000We have like run off the end of the constitutional tape and that is an emergency no matter what else is going on.
00:31:57.000Well, it's more than just not what the founders intended.
00:31:59.000It's not what voters think they're voting for.
00:32:02.000The voters are voting for a form and structure where they think there's three branches and that the people are able to send representatives because they have day jobs.
00:32:09.000They're not voting for a ruling class of experts where we have no idea who these people are.
00:32:39.000I'm very concerned for the people who haven't realized it yet.
00:32:42.000One thing that we need to keep in mind, though, as we're going to the polls, as we're putting on this event and so on and so forth, is that there are a handful of people out there, probably in the millions, who don't follow politics very closely.
00:32:57.000They've got busy lives with their children, sports, hobbies, and we need to wake those people up because there are probably people who are just going to check off a box with a with a D, you know, next to the name.
00:33:10.000And that is that is really frightening.
00:33:13.000And those are the people that, you know, like they're not a part of this.
00:33:17.000They're not a part of this, the machinations of the Democratic Party on the left.
00:33:21.000You know, they just pay attention a couple of times a year and they just check a box that they're familiar with.
00:33:27.000And so, you know, we don't want to alienate those people.
00:33:29.000Those are the people that we want to wake up.
00:33:31.000No, in fact, there are enough of those people to accomplish the goal.
00:33:36.000So there are a good number of American voters who aren't paying enough attention to rejoin the electorate, but then there are a lot of people who rightly feel that they have been ushered out of having a meaningful opportunity to direct the country.
00:33:53.000It is time for those people to return and to vote because this is now an emergency, as you can see.
00:34:00.000And I would just add, in addition to all of those disaffected voters who have stopped voting and need to come back, Democratic Party voters should be angrier than anyone.
00:34:13.000They are now living in a party in which they don't get to choose their nominee.
00:34:20.000And then they are going to be asked to support that nominee, even though that nominee did not go through any sort of a normal vetting process.
00:34:28.000So, and this has been obvious that the Democratic elite were not really interested in including the voters in any way since Bernie Sanders was shoved out by Hillary Clinton.
00:34:41.000And in fact, when When Bernie Sanders challenged what happened to him in the primary, the argument that the DNC made was that actually they were fully entitled to rig their own primary.
00:35:47.000And during the Clinton administration, they abandoned their historical connection to workers.
00:35:54.000And those people have increasingly found themselves adrift.
00:35:57.000Now, there are many of them who are still left in the Democratic Party and have not woken up to what their party has become.
00:36:03.000But many others have found themselves over on the red team, because the red team increasingly has been taking care of workers' interests.
00:36:16.000I don't see this map the same way other people do.
00:36:20.000I meet a lot of people, and if I look at what the blue team says about MAGA voters, I get one picture.
00:36:26.000And when I talk to people who actually are part of that group, they look to me like workers who were abandoned by the Democratic Party in large measure.
00:36:48.000Americans are tired and frustrated by a stalling economy, inflation, endless wars, and the relentless assault on our values.

00:38:17.000The people that I would have expected to stand up for me in large measure didn't.
00:38:23.000But a tremendous number of people, many of whom I didn't even know beforehand, did stand up for me.
00:38:29.000So this really is a model for where we are as a nation.
00:38:35.000Don't imagine that you can identify your allies by the color of the jersey that they're wearing.
00:38:42.000Many will disappoint you on that basis.
00:38:44.000Look for the people who, when they speak, are speaking to the values that you hold dear.
00:38:49.000And if those people are from some party that you have thought was the root of all evil, then maybe it's time to rethink your map of the landscape.
00:39:04.000I'm not expecting to see all of the Democratic voters wake up.
00:39:15.000Many of them are probably not capable of it.
00:39:18.000But there are a good many people who remain in that party because they simply have not gone through the exercise of looking through someone's eyes outside and discovering what their party has become.
00:40:31.000Forcing myself to take a bunch of weird shots when I just need to go to work.
00:40:36.000And so I do think that there is an opportunity and what's been frustrating for all of us here on this call is that it's taken so much longer than we thought it would take.
00:40:45.000But we have to keep in mind like the average person Their BS detector maybe doesn't go off as early, and they've got to feel a little bit more pain than the rest of us.
00:40:54.000Yeah, and that's what I want to talk about, Brett, you specifically, is that it took you three years of hard labor to get people to wake up to the COVID vaccine.
00:41:49.000But the best route for us to learn the lessons of COVID is to explore it openly and discover how each of us understood the world in some way that didn't turn out to be Accurate and what it is that allowed some of us to wake up and what happened to us publicly when we did wake up is Crucial those same forces are attempting to keep you from seeing reality in front of your eyes so if Americans looked at the situation in the upcoming election
00:42:23.000And they understood that there are there is a party that makes no pretense about representing the will of the voters or the thinnest pretense and When it is in power, it does all sorts of things that are in conflict with the values of the party that it Has taken over and therefore it is not a proper manifestation of those values if people just simply recognize that they will understand that Whatever that thing is, however it became that way, it needs to go.
00:42:54.000And they can see it if they look at what...
00:42:59.000What the Biden administration did with COVID, they will recognize they were told, take the shot, you won't get COVID.
00:43:09.000You know, people, you know, this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated, the shots are safe and effective.
00:43:14.000Well, how true did that turn out to be?
00:43:17.000And did you ever get an apology from the people who told you those things?
00:43:21.000My claim is they knew they were lying.
00:44:08.000And it's the same way that you told me that my kid needs to stay at home because COVID is going to kill him.
00:44:14.000Angela, did you want to comment on that?
00:44:17.000I think that the Kamala Harris stuff, it's like the COVID situation was really just
00:44:25.000like the first round of inoculation against truth seeking.
00:44:29.000And that's really what is gonna distinguish us from other people, I think in the future.
00:44:36.000It's not even so much like left, right.
00:44:38.000It's are you someone who can find the truth palatable or do you reject the truth?
00:44:43.000And that's a really scary thing to have to face.
00:44:46.000That's what we wanna do with this event.
00:44:49.000And that's why I think it's really important for Democrats to break ranks and vote against terrorists.
00:44:54.000You know, if you don't want to vote for President Trump, you could vote Libertarian, you could vote for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., but you need to find your allies and your allies are going to be the people who reject all of this totalitarian control and people who are going to embrace the truth and always seek that out.
00:45:12.000Well, I just want to say both you guys are heroes for doing this.
00:45:14.000Obviously, as a Trump guy, you know, I want them to vote for Trump.
00:45:16.000But to have people's... This is much deeper than politics.
00:45:19.000Politics is just a very short-term... Yeah.
00:45:21.000We have a much longer-term issue here.
00:45:24.000Brett, I want to throw it back to you.
00:45:25.000I have a short list of lessons that I learned from COVID, which is we must show, not tell.
00:47:28.000They should try to bring as many people to the event as they can.
00:47:31.000The more we can make our voices obvious, that we can make it clear that this is a majority of Americans who are not putting up with this anymore, that we are actually going to take back our country, And we are going to put it back on the course towards the values that we do agree on.
00:47:51.000If we can make that show up as a couple hundred thousand people showing up on the mall or more, then it becomes much harder to pretend that something won, which didn't.
00:48:15.000I think that political parties are transforming rapidly.
00:48:18.000You see Donald Trump trying to push sort of this unity, you know, with libertarians and include people who are outside of MAGA.
00:48:27.000In his cabinet and in his administration, I think that there is right now a real opportunity for us to join together, those of us who are oriented towards the truth and resist tyranny and resist totalitarianism.
00:48:39.000So please, please join us at Rescue the Republic.
00:48:42.000You can find out more on jointheresistance.org.
00:48:45.000You can donate to support our event, but mostly we really want to see you there.
